DODGERS v HIGHWAYS AGENCY
10/5/00
CHISWICK
Ha! Erm... well...
The reason we've not had any averages before now during what is, even for "the stronger of the two DETR social sides" rather of a blinder of a season is - er - down to my losing the scoresheet for the first match we played, and then Yogesh failing to give me another one until last week. Honest.
Fact is, I can't remember much of what happened, save that we bowled first, holding the Highways Agency to about 100. Improbably, the scorecard seems to suggest that Adey and Benn clean bowled a couple of them each, and lots of batsmen scored either 2 or 29. Not that I can remember that much. We then proceeded to play our innings in increasing gloom, with (I would imagine) one of those interminable Priest / Westhead opening partnerships (actually Anybody / Westhead might be closer the mark for interminability (whatever that is)), which seems to have amounted to some 40-odd runs, before suffering a typical Dodgers mid-innings collapse (remember them, eh? I said it was some time ago), losing 4 wickets in the space of a couple of overs. With the chips looking not only down, but rather cold and soggy, an inspired Crawford came in to bat in almost total darkness with three or four overs to go and proceeded to wallop the ball for a startling 32, twenty of which came from boundaries. And with that, the Dodgers' season of success was set...Anyway, to the important bit...
