Game 2: Aliens vs Sandefjord
A rusty start
Second game of the season and maybe it was not just the Aliens, but also the scorers and umpires were also off to a slow start to the season.
It was a home game for the Aliens, with blue weather and sunny at the start of 18° becoming overcast befor dinner. The pitch fairly dry bit muddy in places the outfield was slow and bit bumpy
Sandefjord batted first, nice easy pressure and after 10 over they were 46 for one, but with drop catches and missed run outs the rust begin to show. But the teame came back and the end to make more catches and more runouts.
But by who we may never know the new scoring system for this season lead to a Less than precise recording of events not helped by umpires not being able to count to 6
But the rust showed once again with Marcus going for a golden duck . Taking silly runs and getting run out, even one batsmans going onto the pitch underequipped.
And at the complication of to few boundaries didn’t have the situation. But the questions raised, even shouted out by some was the action one of the Sandefjord bolwers. (very close to throwing)
But even without that it would not effected a the game. It's a team game and the team lost the game.
Sandefjord CC won by 53 runs.
Talking points of the game?. David nearly carrying his bat when he was injured or maybe there again for the words of encouragement he said when became injured (#*+^¨¨^##*)! or all the ducks. Or the throwing action of the Sandefjord bowler. Or the total (F#*¤) up from the umpires and scorers. It's upto you.
