St ANNES Vs JESTERS

Sunny weather welcomed the jesters for day 2 of the tour. The days almost shock tale was that of DR Bell and Coco almost sleeping in past breakfast (no idea what they had got up to sleeping in until 9.50!). News filtered through from the previous evening that Mel and Denny had taken a trip to a gay bar with Mel just piping Popeye in the popularity contest, with a young Ricky Martin stealing a kiss before Mel had time to move (not the last time Mel would move slowly in the week). Final gossip from the young guns came from the skippers room where it had emerged the teams overseas star was slow out of the traps getting the toilet and forfeited use of his sheets for the remainder of the trip.

A 40 over game with wickets pitched at the slightly earlier time of 12 and a hastily arranged toss saw Otley's no11 and a slightly drier from the previous evening Ted opening up against current Cobras (SAFA state team) opening bowler Shadley van Schalkwyk. St Anne's overseas pro came charging in at the opening pair but had no luck against a solid opening pair. Highlights of the innings included Ted's cheeky ramp shot for 6. Skipper Rhodes came and went, falling for the oldest trick of the book. After being kindly told by the keeper the new bowler was a leggie the skip duly went to smash the first ball pitched wide of off. What Rhodes'y failed to remember was to 'have a look' at the new bowler and was cleaned up first ball to the premier off spinner.

With a solid score to defend the bowlers started poorly being lumped to all parts by the Saints opening batsman and suddenly the jesters were staring down the barrel of their first loss of the season. Young JT again struggled to catch dollys that were sent and the final nail in the coffin came with Mark Woods 8 bounce ball which barely reached the batsman and young Jack not living up to his surname with de-ath bowling by being pumped for 2 boundaries by Saints fill in female batsman.

Extras:

Teas 7/10 - hot pizza and doughnuts kept belly happy

Question of the day - Mel to their female player "we wear a box down there, what do you put there?"
