SUPERSTARS ACHIEVE GREENWASH. |

Superstars arrived at the Abbey Rec on a beautiful
September Sunday afternoon hoping to beat the improving Green Sox side for a 3rd time this year.
Barry didn’t lose the toss and elected to bat. |

George Warren got a good yorker early on (1) but
Paul Gaught and Vijay Anand rebuilt. You can probably guess who was more aggressive in their 52
partnership until Paul was bowled (12). Their followed a bit of a collapse with Hewlett (2),
Vijay (51 retired), Plahe (8) and Hemingway (1) all departing. It was a time for experience
and class - luckily Superstars had Duggan (playing as pretty much a specialist batsman after
his shoulder injury) and Gigg (hiding at 8 to protect his average as usual). 65 runs later
Superstars were in a good position as Duggan was bowled for 28 (a Superstars high). With the
slog on Chrissie Frankland (1), Thomson (0) and Konrad (1) played for the team. Vijay returned
and hit some big ones before being bowled for 66. Barry was left on 43 not out in a total of
196. A good total on a big ground but plenty of work to do. |

Konrad and Gary opened the bowling accurately
and were backed up good fielding. Both picked up a wicket but that bought two good batsmen
to the crease and there were nerves and some big shots. Chrissie was bowling well and
got his reward when James Hemingway caught a good one over his shoulder at mid on. Chris
Thomson then had the captain caught (by Chrissie) and Chrissie caught and bowled a sharp
chance. There was another good stand until Vijay was called for and he bowled the impressive
Jake. Quite rightly Vijay was then removed from the attack with awful figures of 1-1-0-1.
James Hemingway took the final two wickets, including the impressive Shyam for 56 to
complete an impressive all round Superstars performance (yep, that’s not a typo). |

A win by 72 runs (admittedly against 9
players), may be saving our best to (almost) last. |
