The 2008 season kicked off with a friendly match against Pak Orient away. A
late withdrawal and an alcohol fuelled Saturday night meant that we started
the match with nine men. Skipper Westy won the toss and decided to have a
bat. It was a good decison as he and Sgt. Pepper Palfrey got us off to a
great start. Sgt. was enjoying swinging his new meat and slapping the ball
around the park. Westy showed his class with some tasty looking strokes as
the openers operated at seven runs an over. Eventually Sgt. was bowled after
a quick fire 37. Westy made 51 and retired at the drinks break in the 15th
over. Di Perna and Arnab were next in and kept the run rate ticking over
very nicely. They looked in good nick but were eventually both out caught
but not before they had stamped their mark on the game (Di Perna 34 and
Arnab 28). The last few overs saw Furlonger
(12 not out), Khanna (12)and Northover on debut
(1) push the MCC to 210 off their allocated 30 overs (35 extras). Bob
Boulder got a rare chance to shine with the bat and looked in a class of his
own when he faced and survived the final ball. Even with nine men we felt
that we had a decent enough score to defend and so it proved.
The new ball combination of Boulder and Northover got stuck in to the hosts
straight away. The Skipper decided to bowl the pair through and they both
picked up a wicket a piece for their efforts. Debutant Greg Koch got the
chance to shine with the ball and did not disapoint. Arnab held on to a
catch in the covers to give him his first wicket for the MCC. Not content
with a dazzling 50 the Skipper picked up 3 wickets of his own. The catching
was of the highest standard throughout the match and Wilson, Northover and
Koch held on to beauties. Khanna mopped up the tail with his leggies and
picked up a two for. Di Perna kept well and had a hand in a stumping and a
run out as the hosts were eventually skittled for 156. Special thanks also
to Heather the scorer. The scorebook has never looked so tidy or
so colourful.
