SUperstars arrived at Wandsworth Park, with its view of the River Thames in rare shape
with ELEVEN PLAYERS (some not even injured) and even won the toss. The Brickies, who insisted on no retirements, were inserted. |
|
|
|
Superstars bowled well and chipped away at the Brickies batting line up until Riaz destroyed
our line up with a blistering 39 not out. It was good to see newbies Joey, Lawrence and George all get overs and wickets. All
also impressed in the field with Joey taking two catches. After being on target for 130 or so, the Brickies ended up on 150-6. |

Suerstars were always a bit behind, truth-be-told, but good efforts from Vijay (26), Lawrence (20) and Errol (21)
kept the opposition honest but Superstars reached 120-6. If Riaz had been forced to retire who knows what would have happened -
it would certainly been a closer more enjoyable cricket match. |

It's nice to play in a different place (even if the pitch isn't great) and the pub is good but this
isn't a great fixture for Superstars really. |

Two good catches by Joey Hale - a steepler off his own bowling and a sharp one at mid on. |
|
|
|
Although not, technically, his debut this was the first game Lawrence Howard played where a ball was bowled so it was really his debut. |

|
Bricklayers' Arms refused to play retirements. |
