Last round would be known for one big reason and that is Simon turning up half way through the game after a big night out !

We didn’t have full 11 until 15 minuted after the game started .

Anyway we were forced to field first and we straight away realised that openers are short of water and might need Ambulance ready if one of the openers stayed for another 3 overs, as this guy started asking for water break after first 2 overs of inning and he almost passed away because of aggressive running. Eventually he ended up with drinks break after 3 overs of the start of the game and casually had a little nap on the wicket to take rest . Glad we are in Norway and ambo is free to call in .

Sandjoford were 80 runs after 15 overs and until we introduced Warney and Murli at the attack ( Chris and Dave ). Sandjoford ended up making 140 odd runs in 25 overs with Davey boy (new name) ended up taking 4 wickets, Harry got 2 and Chris got good 2 wickets as well.

On a side note club has their overseas import Harry Singh had his debut game and boys have realised that he has been spoiled playing grade cricket in Aus as during drinks break he was waiting for some one to bring the drinks for him while the whole team was running towards their kit bag to pick up water .

In terms of batting Damo made another 50 odd runs and had great partnership with Dave that changed the momentum in favour of us.

Overall great game with a lot positive to take away and my prediction for next game is after the first innings it will be called off because of rain .
