Match Report
Like London Buses - you wait all day for one, then along come two...three. The Singhs are back. First Manjit pouches one on the boundary edge and then Nita springs in to action at short mid-wicket. Then to confound us all Manjit does it again. Forget the rest of the match Manjit and Nita have held catches.
Earlier in the evening Nita (28 ret n.o.) and Slapdash (14) had got us off to a good start, taking 34 from the first 5 overs. Timmo was the victim of a father/son collaborated lbw and new acquisition Saed Abdirizak looked bemused that his stay at the crease was so short. He is I am sure the first Half Somali/Swiss that has graced the colours. Moysey and The Rock stodged up the middle of the innings and only a late flurry from Goulash got us to 119 at the end of 20 overs.
Ashburnham Arms were undone by some fine slow bowling, as well as the camouflage effect of the trees at one end. Spud and Manjit had all but won the game inside the first seven overs, with The Ash reduced to 12-3. Slack and Danglers ensured there was to be no recovery, with GT informing me that Darren's three wickets were the direct result of his wily bowling at the other end;Lock and Laker apparently! Jagdesh completed proceedings, with his particular brand of spin yielding a catch to point.
