Brighton Beamers Cricket Club

Dear John,

Their skipper very generously offered a second sub fielder after you left, did the job himself, and then pulled off a spectacular catch at mid-wicket to remove one of his (very threatening) own batsmen. We all know you would have pulled off the same catch with even more athleticism, grace and daring, but the batsman who was out was so fuming he stormed off to the dressing room never to be seen again!

The game was generously played in a very sporting manner but we couldn't quite winkle them out in the last few overs. The day belonged, however, to his Lordship of Loxhore, who not only thrilled and delighted with a near PB 74, but took a wonderful catch at cow corner off a steepler whilst conducting a text message dialogue with his nearest and dearest about Braton Hicks contractions and the advantages of gas-and-air over an epidural.

I am sure my shirt can wait until the following Thursday but I cannot, and indeed would not presume to, talk for Musso's trousers.

Frank


Musso replies:

Ahh ....Nialls catch (note the correct spelling Niall)......extremely well taken.....

But you have glossed over my inch perfect positioning of him on the boundary in anticipation of just such a shot from the Tangmere 'Cow-Corner' merchant.

Also, you appear to be confusing Braxton Hicks with a place we play on tour...Bratton Fleming.....Too much cricket Frank.

Well skippered though *hopes that will get him off the hook*
