PROPER 20/20 CRICKET

By Brian Sanderson,

Yorkshire were playing Worcestershire five minutes from the house but I decided to watch local cricket league for free.
The first match was at New Rover who were playing Adel.Adel were batting and struggling there had been a stumping in the first over.Tony Hutton had already arrived .Reg Parker,Mr Adel,was talking away and watching the match.Gradually Adel increased the rate to score a total of 140 which I thought was a reasonable total.

Mick Bourne arrived with news that at St Chads ,Old Mods had scored over 60 runs in 5 overs.Brian Senior wanted to get closier to home so we sent off to St.Chads.

When we arrived St.Chads were batting and chasing 220 runs in the twenty overs.One
of the batsman reached 125 and had been dropped when he was 6.One of the St.Chads batsman had a runner which confused things even more.

St.Chads started at a rate of about eight an over but were losing wickets.One Batsman reached fifty which was his second in two matches.He had to wait 5 years for his first.

In the last ten overs the batsmen started hitting the ball out of the small ground.
They reached their total with about seven balls to spare.

Excellent entertainment and how 20/20 should be played.Eventhough the bells from the church was out of tune.
