Overview - The Resumption

Was it possible to win without Mad Maniac McGregor when we drew with the same team last week with MMC playing?  Our fielding was poor apart from the last 4 overs.  At one point the batsman made about an extra five runs through overthrows.  With the last opposition batting pair needing 8 runs to win you would not have thought so.  Enter, Shoaib Van Der Welle, the most destructive force in indoor cricket today!!!! Capturing 3 for -11 in his final over the team won by 17 runs, crushing the oppositions spirit.  Several disputes with the umpire broke out with the Avatar being the only one to keep his cool by relaxing at the bowlers end.  A few other points of interest were that Michelmon turned up on time, Anthony (non GMC) played well and the Brothers of Destruction are BACK!! 

Game Analysis

Glynne

Batted superbly, employing Kymmys technique of dominating the strike.  Bowled with venom and fire as he accelerates the pace of his bowling each week  Fielding was a little below par with an easy dropped catch and at one point watching the ball roll past him wondering about where he was.  Is taking a break next week as the stress of winning is too much. 

Avatar

Batted poorly with numerous attempts to put bat on ball disappointing both batter and bowler.  Bowled the worst for a long tmie with 4 wides in the one over.  Glynne insisted on bowling Avatar to a left handed batsman and the team suffered.  At one point Kymmy!!! attempted to place a small coin on the pitch and direct the Avatar to bowl at it.  Unfortunately Kymmy!!! was not talking to one of the great vegetables like Craig Jones or RV Solomon who could do this in their sleep.  Needless to say the umpire made Kymmy!! remove the coin and the poor bowling continued.  Fielding was quite handy with a good catch which will certainly have Shoaib and Gavstheman never again wondering Wasi There?

Kymmy!!

Kymmy!! struggled with the bat including a disasterous shot which saw him get caught.  Was fielding a better arena for Kymmy!!! to showcase his talents?  At first he raced between being close to the wickey, then further away, then back again, then further awy.  You could say he was just burning off excess energy but everything Kymmy!! does is part of a complex mind game, where an infinite number of details are constantly being evaluated.  His first over was pretty much the same shit as normal but with the team needing a hero, Shoab Van Der Welle entered the arena muttering to himself about "if you want a job done right you ...".  The opposition was shellshocked (as were we when Kymmy!! did not bowl his traditional last over leg side wide) as Kymmy!! sent them packing.  Kymmy!! started off the infamous 5 overthrows as he hurled a ball at the stumps when the batsman were safe.  This is becomming a party trick of his!!!

Donna FiveA

No Kids, Donna gets a better score than the last few weeks with the bat (despite batting with Kymmy!!!)  and bowls 2 for 2.  Now I ask you, do the stats lie??.  If those kids show up again i will be recommending a return bout of Jennifer vs Select.  I think Donna surprised herself with her performance but I predicted it!  Even Glynne did not crap on to much during Donna's innings about "Run!" "Crossover!!".  

Big "If Ya Smell What I Am Cookin" Gav

Gavstheman Ul Haq and his fellow Brother of Destruction were back!! No more concentrated defence or thoughtful shots into the side net.  Just attempted big hits and minimal footwork.  It was amazing that he only got out twice.  A disputed umpiring decision caused him to briefly believe he could hit like former vegetable Adam Gilchrist, but the facts provided other evidence.  Big Gav's bowling was good in comparison.

Michaelmon

Catching hold of the infectionous lack of discipline shown by Big Gavstheman, Michlemon though he could try hitting a few balls directly to fieldsman as well.  He did not.let himself down with two outs to catches.  Michael was fantastic as wicket keeper and his overall fielding was good.  Bowling is improving but again, needs to practice

Anthony(non GMC)

Filling in at the last minute he batted quite well and seemed intent on aggravating the opposition.  Apart from some wayward overs he bowled with vigour and took 1 for 1 in his final over.  Took the back stumps magnificently which led to a high number of runouts.

Peter

Improved batting from his last couple of outings put the team in a strong position.  Fielded well although one blunder let the ball go through the back net costing another 4 runs.  Great bowling with total figures of 1 for 6.  The best of the bowlers against the best opposition batters he was just to fast for them.
