RBA 89-9 19.5 overs beat WetWang 88ao 20 overs

Agnes travelled to Wetwang on a smoking hot Thursday evening. As every year passes on the travels to Wetwang, the cabin to get changed in gets worse, the outfield gets rougher and the locals have a few more teeth missing.

Freddie Gunning was still nursing a hangover after having 14 (true) Jager bombs after England’s defeat on Sunday night and the Flame was donating a kidney to his much uglier twin brother, Ken Brown.

All the Agnes bowlers bowled well.

The reply started steady (yawn). Marley Ward then grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and guided Agnes to within 3 runs of victory.

This was a regulation victory until Glen Quagmire Dodds tapped an easy single. Marley decided he would keep the strike. We aren’t saying Glen turned slowly, however, Glen began the single and was clean shaven, by the time he got back he had a full beard. Ben Traves said that he has seen milk turn into yoghurt quicker. Albert Boynton said that if we timed Glen’s attempt at getting back with a sundial then we would have run out of sunlight (Sorry Glen).

With Glen gone, it was left for Marley to see us home. After a week in Tenerife of extreme drug use, Marley did a Jonny Bairstow and walked out of his crease for absolutely no reason whatsoever. With 3 runs to win, it was left for Fred Langton to see us home. Fred Langton was inevitably bowled and with Dan Fryer walking out to partner Luke Burton, Sky Bet paid out early for a Wetwang victory.

With 2 runs to win, Dan Fryer ran a single …. With a guide dog by his side, Will Watts said that it wasn’t close enough to give on a night. With one run to win and Dan Fryer not knowing that it was the last over, Dan hit a ball and set off. Wetwang threw to the wrong end and Dan Fryer cost Sky Bet millions.

An infamous evening of village cricket.
