I watched burnmoor vs evenwood 1sts. Evenwood got 185. Burnmoor were 120 ish for 1 when i left and coasting. Cracking day gor a few pints
 
I was at Esh Winning v Marsden and as a neutral was astounded by what went on.

Esh got 259 for about 5 declared after 42 overs. Took Marsden 3 hours to bowl them (14 overs / hour).
Marsden ended 235 for 5. Esh slowed game down in last hour and only bowled 12 overs.

Apparently game ends at 7.30pm no matter how many overs bowled. Absolutely sackless and stupid rules.

At end of 1st innings Esh going off it about Marsden over rate. At end of game Marsden going off it about Esh's over rate.

How can it be you've watched a game all day and slow over rates stop a positive result. Baffling that new league was supposed to drive progress and in reality its more negative than ever.
 
Teversal 191 for 9 lost to Norton Oakes 192 for 3 (Dan Owen 75 not; Bob Cummins 61) by seven wickets.

Section 2 of the Mansfield Sunday league (40 ovrs a side)

c'mom The Oakes.
 
We got battered off Chester Le Street in the Banks Bowl Quarter Final.

Wouldn't care, had them 0-1 off the first ball, then dropped the second ball of the game for a caught behind and the lad went on to get a 100.

:-(

Saw 2 games today:

Annfield Plain U13's defeated South North U13's to go joint top of their league. Sacriston and Shotley Bridge have a game in hand though.

Annfield Plain Academy side defeated 2nd in the table Fenham CC. Great game. The Plain side was made up entirely of players from the U13 to U18 sides.
 
Castle Eden beat us (Bill Quay) yesterday. They are a good side - better in my opinion than Esh who we played on Saturday. However, they had an asian opening bowler with an extremely suspect action. In fact, he was, quite frankly, chucking it. *

*Not sour grapes - he's not the one who took the wickets!!

Fenham are a great story in themselves, most of their side hasn't played a proper game until two months ago.

Didnt know that.

All of the players looked to be of Pakistani origin and until the young U15 came into bat number 11 none of them had worn a helmet when batting. They even had to share the gear between them. Technically they werent great but there were a couple of them had a real eye for the ball and smacked it all around the park. Their enthusiasm was palpable.

The game was what cricket was all about. The young Annfield Plain side were absolutely delighted to win. The cameraderie with them when they took the final wicket was a credit to the club.

Great afternoon.

Have played both this season. Fenham have quite a few yahoo IPL merchants mind!

Fenham hire a ground ATM but have plans to get their own facility. They started by hiring a sports hall and coaching lads last winter.
