WESTON WAXER NOV 2007Nadses Missus swooned in for only a snippet on the Stinziani Sliding Scale but saw enough and headed home for a kip knowing the Fathers were in control needing just the ten runs from the final 56 deliveries!
The Founding Fathers looked SENSATIONAL in their new tie dyed kit with matching tie dyed headbands. The Fathers looked to take the advantage after winning the toss and electing to take the field imposing their impressive and confronting new look on the unsuspecting Deano's Dropkicks. Captain Deano said after the match "it was an honour to have a crack at some of the biggest names in indoor cricket - those blokes looked bloody impressive in their new clobber - they are the dead set David Beckham's of indoor cricket".
The Fathers chased down the 91 required runs in the tenth over posting 153 and taking four skins and once again were asking serious questions of the WICC standard.
Match Stats, Highlights and FINES!
Itchy opened up the attack for the third consecutive week and proved comfortable in his new role taking 1 for 6 from his first. Captain Norro turned to Itchy to close out the third partnership who were getting away on 42. Itchy shattered the batsman taking 3 for -1 finishing on 4 for 5 and Choco would have been pleased! FINE to Itchy for failing to take the hat trick.
Kermit took 3 for -14 from his first five deliveries (2nd over) and finished with 5 for -4 and best figures of the match but cops a FINE for failing to take the hat trick!
Our Kylie was 2 for -8 from his first three
deliveries (4th over) and had Deano's Dropkicks looking deep inside themselves for answers. FINE to Kyles for failing to take the hat trick.Rosco was 3 for -12 from his first five deliveries but managed to avoid a FINE with precision bowling cleverly allowing a run or two between wickets. Rosco added another wicket from the first ball of his second over taking 4 for 9 for the match.
NADS WAS ON FIRE taking a HAT TRICK (FINE CREDIT!) in the 6th over and had 3 for 4 against his name on the big scoreboard at the end of the night.
Gilly made the most of his time out from behind the stumps with preceision length attacking leg stump and finished with 4 for 0 bowling his man with his first delivery in consecutive matches.
Hugo was lethal and tidy with 1 for 13 from his tow overs.
You'd wonder how they possibly put 90 runs on the board with bowling figures like these but we haven't mentioned Norris and Our Kylies figures yet. Norris had a luckless night surrendering 32 runs for no wicket! Norris and Kylie (2 for 31) handed them 70% of their runs! (FINE TO EACH!)
The Fathers lifted the bar on their fielding - Itchy was on fire at the back net and Gilly ran a tight ship behind the stumps. Honourable mention to NADS for taking out the sitter of the match FINE! in consecutive weeks.
After the short break Norris looked to Gilly (26) and Nads (11) (he likes his sevens!) to open up the Fathers account and 37 runs flowed.
Norris (5) and Rosco (24) added 29 more to the total coming home with a wet sail with 17 in their final over.
Kylie (23) and Kermie (26) were almost chanceless chasing down the 41 run skin and missed the half century partnership by just the one run.
Itchy (35) and Hugo (3) capitalised on a large margin and opened up the shoulders steering the side home to a comfortable victory looking dashing with big strokes and a big moustache
(Hugo) (FINE!)The Father of the Week FINE CREDIT goes to Itchy who dominated in his swirling tie dye in almost cat walk-esque fashion up and down the wicket!
Honourable mention to Hugo for mixing up James Boag Premiums and Pure Blondes with a light beer or two in true Founding Fathers Car Park tradition.
Norris is off to Hawaii next week to scout for talent and Gladdy is a possible starter apparently landing in Sydney tomorrow (confirmed by Snorkey's Missus by Skype this evening.)
(Choco (calf strain) is also a possible starter.) Match time next week is 8:10pm.
Hugo is Acting Admin Captain (Norris can't let go) for the month of December so keep him posted on your availability. The final match of the year is 18 Dec.
Lock in 12 January 2007 for Norro's 40th birthday celebration. All Fathers and their Missusses are invited. (Please note: FINE CREDITS will not be redeemable on the day.)
Love,
Norris
