v Teddington CC

Watch the film to hear a new narrator, to hear a more positive, more upbeat , less pithy, less bleak  fellow than one you’re used to. I was thrilled by the lbw given by Teddington’s septuagenarian bespectacled scorer turned umpire. I danced inside as he raised his finger to a ball that pitched outside leg , struck my hip and cannoned into my tummy. (not too clear on film but you can make out a blur strike my back  leg hip. Sorry I don’t have Hawkeye yet)  I was even happier with the score when I got in: 155 for 5 of 39 0vers. The top order were going guns beforehand, attacking their spinners,  turning good balls ordinary by using their feet etc and not leaving it all to the middle order to scramble a total in the last ten.  Ah sod it! enough moaning and buck passing. This struggle goes on.
