"It's in the bag" - Watersfield 14th September

I've tried to write a witty, uplifting match report that somehow captured the tension and excitement this match produced but failed. In the end Musso's succinct message couldn't be bettered:

Watersfield Nightmare!

Its amazing how having to score 17 runs can suddenly seem like having to score 170 to win the game.

Oh the humanity!

Siddo can be excused ( i suppose ) for being dismissed by what was said to be the best ball of the day. It was quite good i suppose, slipping between dimensions as it did on its way down the wicket and re-emerging from a wormhole to dip, turn and lift through a 5cm 'Gate' into middle stump.
Steven Hawkings has been informed of the event and was lost for words......

I hold myself in contempt for feeling completely comfortable and then chipping a leg side delivery into the hands of Watersfields best fielder.

Maf, you just need to listen to me. Unfortunately the 'take the lid off' approach that had been planned when we got past 50 with no wickets down probably didn't help.

Esso was conscious of having to score at least 8 off every delivery when only 0.03 of a run was actualy required.

Smith decided that rather than kicking the ball away he would let it roll gently onto his back foot which was planted firmly in front of middle stump.

John Riches will have to go down in the book as 'did not bat'.

Anyone not mentioned above, however, did a good job.
