Glenmore Cricket Club Glenmore Royals v Fish Creek Coyotes on Fri 15 May 2015 at 6pm
Glenmore Cricket Club Lost by 7 wickets

Match report With the threat of rain coming from the West non existent it was the sprinklers turned on at Riley large that caused a rain delay in the game. Luckily PJ was able to coax some city workers to come to the ground and turn them off.
After winning the toss the Mighty Royals got off to a rough start when Mitch was caught on the boundary. Sprogg and Arnie dug in with a partnership of 24 before Sprogg missed the straight full one. Apparently when he gets out he doesn't like talking about it and duly strode of to the midwicket boundary where a black cloud hung for the remainder of the innings. JR, promoted up the order also missed the straight full one bringing the skipper in to face yet another hat trick ball. After seeing that off with ease Arnie and Matt put on another partnership of 24, most of those runs coming from the free flowing strokes of Arnie who retired not out. Shesi strode to the crease but was removed by, surprise surprise, a full straight one. Matt was then undone by a slow long hop which looked like it was going into the garden but instead popped up back to the bowler. Quite a poor shot really! The rearguard action was now on with most of the top order failing. PJ and Rajeev had a good partnership with Rajeev in particular playing a dogged innings. PJ was given out to a dubious LBW decision (apparently all it needs to do is hit the pad!) and Rajeev was finally out trying to increase the run rate. Qasid spent some quality time in the middle and Mafaz tried valiantly to hit every ball for six. Qasid was bowled by another straight one and Mafaz was caught in the deep leaving Jordan stranded just 29 short of his retiring score.

Time for a team talk, the pitch is a bit dodgy and if we can get a couple of wickets early panic will set in and we can skittle them. No problem. Up steps Sheshi first ball with the ball of the day which produced the catch of the day by Jordan in the gully. Game on. Some more fantastic bowling was followed by probaly the worst ball of the game. Sheshi dug one in short and wide (like really wide) which the batsman duly stretched for and hit it straight to Mitch at short cover. Game on! no that was about it. Mafaz bowled very well but the batsmen were playing very defensive and not really offering any chances. Arnie bowled well and Sprogg was the pick of the bowlers with his 1-7 off 3. Apparently the meditating he had done during the first innings helped him channel his inner Ian Botham. In the end we had too few runs to compete and the Fish Creek were worthy winners.
3 Stars
1st Star - Arnie who was the only one who didn't think the pitch was a minefield and could play the straight full ones.
2nd Star - Sprogg an inspired spell of bowling that deserved a better result.
3rd Star - Jordan Honywood. If channel 9 was televising the game it would have been a contender for Classic Catch.
