Super Sub Harmie Blasts 55

Man of the Match Harmie blasts 55 in whitewash FFCC Victory!

The skills were on display when Harmie (55) and Madman (33) opened the batting for The Fathers after a target of 101 was set. Harmie was run out just the once and hit 44 runs off nine deliveries in the final stage of his innings. (five x 7's and 2, 4, 3, dot). Pure genius. And Madman chipped in with a 7, couple of 5's and a couple of 4's. On almost any other night he's Man of the Match.

Mick Cheese (25) and Norris (11) rubbed it in. In only the fifth over if the run chase, Norris (who headed into the match as Reigning Man of the Match) struck a lovely cover drive into the nets (2) to take The Fatherses total to 102. In the outside version of the game, we would have been heading to the carpark at nigh on 9:15.

Billy the Kid (18) deftly left behind a wagon wheel of runs in a 15 run partnership with G-Nat (heaps).

Nads (37) was sublime and G-Nat backed up with a second innings effort of 14. FFCC Total 190.

The Fathers shared the wickets in an exemplary night in the field with 6 catches, 7 run outs, 1 stumping (Harmie) and 1 bowled (Norris). There was an extraordinary 29 dot balls bowled through tight bowling and lightning quick reflexes in the field.

The Fathers WERE ON FIRE!!! Nads probably claimed half the wickets in usual disarray. Sadly, Choco re-tired hurt after bowling 6 deliveries (1 for 3) and moving a yard to his right straining his calf. Sidelined for possibly 3-4 weeks.

FINE to Mick Cheese for the Sitter, FINE each to Harmie and Madman for failing to take the hat trick.

It was all good in the carpark with The Mayor on beer duty. One screaming car of hoons, one police car rolled on by and Billy slinked off into the night (Bic Mac at the Maccas drive through) as quiet as a mouse in his turbo charged rocket.
