There was a sudden unveiling of nerves for some reason as I sat down at my computer to write this tale of 8 impeccable sportsman, maybe because of the brilliant write ups before me or perhaps just because of the lies I was about to spit. The truth is that I have always been a good fiction writer in a short story kind of way. So that's exactly what this will be a short story of men, likes of which have never been seen before to face battle on the court,on a dark and stormy night.
Due to the obvious scare factor that the Fathers bring onto the court our opposition John's Jokers were two men down, I don't think we are so intimidating that we would cause people not to show up but it seemed to be the case. So we took to the field first with a not so bad could be better opening over by Billy the good looking kid. To be sure our next three bowlers Norris Snork and cheesy bowled great figures, in a word indestructible Norris giving 11 runs Snork a brilliant ZERO and two wickets with a stumping by Gilly and a run out in the field. Cheesy with a solid five runs given, making the first quarter of football, sorry cricket a great start. Next in was Gladdy with his deceiving slow run up only to fire them out at 100 miles an hr with a great 6 runs given. Mad man gave an Honorable first over on paper due to the class in the field surrounding him but giving a personal two wicket heist in his second lapping up a four wicket all day performance. Snork in his second over, again solid with one wicket for four. Followed by two slightly heavier performances by Itchy with 15 and Norris 23 the Fathers powered home in the field with some out of this world keeping by Gilly and some tight ass bowling by the tail enders not giving away much at all. So in short we bowled and fielded a competent half of indoor cricket giving away only 140 runs, a doable target.
First in for the Fathers with the wood was Gilly and Gladdy showing nothing but class only giving away one wicket and making a sexy start of 48 runs. Only to be followed by a legendary pair in billy and mad man scoring a stable 33 between them, mad man 32 billy 1 OUCH!. Itchy and Snorky coming into bat at a intricate part of the match needing to really pull some runs together to make the win a shore thing, a score of 27 left our big hitters Cheezy and Norris in a plump position to collect a ripe old final score of 162.
Once again the Fathers are back in the winners circle.
