On this fine Sunday, Putney Sunday 1s travelled down to rural Oxfordshire to come up against Warborough and Shillingford in one of the most beautiful settings we’ll play in this season. We convened at The Six Bells for a quick drink, strategise, and chat about murder mystery before heading over to the ground. We won the toss and went in to bat, opening with Wibs and Sethi. Wibs imperiously dispatched the first ball for 4, hinting of a return to the big runs of earlier this season. 2 balls later he nicked off. Jack came in at 3, and played the most confident 30 ball duck you’ll witness, before being done by a pea roller. JJ (17) and Hugo (24) provided some middle order support to stable the ship, with a particularly large 6 over long-on winning Hugo the TMPSGAFKACMSTBMOTD. Meanwhile, word is that the sighting of lush green fields, scraggly sheep and inbred country-people triggered a return to the form Sethi was enjoying up north on tour, and by drinks he had accumulated a 50. A few big(ish) shots later, the oppo realised he couldn’t hit a 6, put everyone on the boundary and bowled him for 79. Not too much support from the lower order and we ended on a respectable 153. Leon and Ajay opened the bowling with accuracy and guile, Ajay even resorting to sneaky time-wasting mind games to get the upper hand over the batsmen. However, they were actually quite good. Number 3 hit a confident 58, to set up the game for their 4 and 5 to see out without much fanfare. Mention should be given to Jack’s over-enthusiastic fielding with the TFCC award looming over. Overall, lovely setting, nice weather, but beaten by the better team on the day. CM - Hugo’s huge 6 TFCC - Wibs for getting out 3rd ball, then bowling himself in a desperate last-ditch attempt to avoid the TFCC award MoM - Sethi’s 79 DDJ - Ajay for halting the whole game in the second over for 5 minutes while he learnt how to tie his laces |
