Debutant SNIPER raised the bar taking no wicket for 31 runs in a match
which has already been long forgotten in the annals of indoor cricket
history. “This is grading season – you’re not supposed to win” said
Sniper after his 11 wides, legs sides, and no ball deliveries. With a
sitter of a run out chance at the bowlers end, Sniper calmly went about
his business tossing the ball to the keeper ensuring the runners safely
made their ground and his no wicket record remained intact.
“This bloke Sniper knows the gig” said Norris who took one wicket (by
accident) for 31.
“Sorry I got a bit excited and nailed all those stumpings” said Gilly who
pitched in with 1 for 32.
SAO sat on the fence with a mere -16 run contribution. “My 5 runs off the
bat were out of line – they just couldn’t hit the stumps.” SAO’s bowling
was effective taking 3 for 21 with a couple of missed chances.
But Captain Billy the Kid, Harmie and Nads conspired to earn the FFCC a
bit of respect. Billy the Kid took out Man of the Match honours with a
+20 run contribution, Harmie top scored with 27 runs and Nads took four
wickets including a hat trick in his first over.
The Fathers rallied in the Car Park with Heinies and Cascade Lights
compliments of SAO. Beautiful. Nads broke out the Grand Final Loot and
Gilly graciously accepted the MAN OF THE FINALS SERIES magnificent clean
skin WICC bat. Nads handed out WICC glasses , an excellent sports bag
(which he kept for himself) and some beautiful Adidas socks which prompted
much snickering about FFCC folklore and Quiet Achiever awards of years
gone by.
