“After the Lord Mayor’s show…”
In horrific fielding conditions – at least two injuries were sustained in the outfield – The Golden Ducks surprisingly put in one of their better fielding performances. The team did well to not let their heads drop too much, embrace the spirit of cricket, and have a bit of fun.
Bowling and batting orders were both reserved, and although a full write up of the match is certainly not necessary, it would be remiss of me to not hand out some special mentions.
In the bowling department, kudos goes to Proctor and Allison for managing to clean bowl, not one, but two Dicket batsmen, both of who were unable to deal with mystery spin deliveries.
The batting was always going to be tough going against an excellent fielding unit. Indeed, it was almost a case of death by spin for the most part. But there is still room for special mentions, which go to Richards, who carried on from where he left off against Two Bats, and Cooper, who provided a very entertaining cameo, even managing to rile up Jan Koller by smashing him for consecutive boundaries.
The skipper was unavailable for a post-match comment.
