Sometimes what you read in the press about a sporting event doesn’t always reflect what happened out on the pitch, maybe a bias reporter, or maybe the truth just getting in the way of a good story.
Anyway, in this match report it’s up to you to filter out the truth from the fake news, circle the ones you believe to be true, answers will be posted at a later date:
1) Damien ran out all his teammates yet still complained about having to score all the runs himself
2) Simon Dillyscopped his second ball (a free hit), demonstrating that it was not a one off during his 100 vs SA
3) Aliens managed not to drop any catches
4) Stubberudmyra was puddle free
5) Marcus was given out LBW and came off telling everyone it was an excellent piece of umpiring
6) Aliens at one point lost 6 wickets for 22 runs in 9.1 overs
7) Dennis hit the ball harder in catching practice than in the middle
8) A record-breaking number of non-playing aliens turned up to watch.
9) Damien referred to going on Two-AH
10) David and Damon were not grumpy about anything.
Tally up your score, How did you go
10 - A true Alien, most likely born in area 51
7-9 - Solid stuff, you should probably think about joining another, better team
3-6 - True Aliens mediocrity
0-2 - This would be enough to top score some weeks, so don’t worry
