This game against (formerly Defra) All Stars will be remembered less for the
cricket and more for the weather. Barry won the toss under dark and imposing Chiswick skies, and Sam and
Michael set off at a rapid rate reaching 30 after three overs. Next followed a fairly impressive
Superstars collapse, which left us all out for 76, with at least 20 of those contributed by our old
friend Mr Extras. Our innings featured three farcical run outs, some excellent Defra catching
and a glorious cover drive by Michael Duggan at the end, which was the only boundary scored after
Sam's fireworks were extinguished early on. |

So as the heavens opened (Ed - a clue to which can be see in the
scorebook pics below), with temperatures still well above 20 degrees, we decided to carry on. The
1st over went for 16 and at this point we thought the contest would be over swiftly; we were wrong.
With a retirement and wickets for Konrad, Plahe, Mountain and Duggan, the game somehow lasted
until the 16th over. The rain fell throughout which must have contributed to our 4 drops and by
the end we were all completely drenched, but it was a laugh as always. |
