St Mary Bourne, 27 July 2024

 


St Mary Bourne went down last year for some misdemeanour that cost them -50 points. Like both the Easts, Anton and Tytherley, though for different reasons, they have no business in this league.

DCC was always a bowling side. Difficult to get a bowl, there were so many. Not these days. We desperately need bowling.

I got carted round the park, which is always fun. The enduring image of this game was Smithers being fed into a hedge by two guys, stretched out straight, arms and legs extended like a pole, to retrieve another six from a non turning length leg break.

Boy do we need bowlers. St Mary Bourne made 229. Robert bowled beautifully for 4-14. He and Smithers (two excellent bowlers) combined for 5-29 off 16. If we had 2 more of them, conceivably St Mary Bourne are all out for 58 and our rather sad chase of 61 sees us win by 3 runs. Fanciful, I know.

But we need bowlers – that isn’t. Know any?
