[Mr Belly]

So not to give HX any motivational material to work with (again) I'm saying nothing in connection with HX. Nope. Not a word. Otherwise Victor will tell me off.
We'll let cricket do the talking on Saturday at the "MCG" marshland.

Division 1 at Muirhouse

Murrayfield-DAFS 1 (20) beat Holy Cross 1 (6) by 45 runs

MDCC 155-8 - Ben Higgins 58 and Ian Shiels 41 (yes you read that right) in vital 96 run 3rd wicket stand on a tricky surface. Mohamed Tayyab 3-45, Ian Astley 3-25 top wicket takers for Cross.

Holy Cross 110 all out - Charlie Ellis 23, Roland Dannreuther 26. Melvyn Clench with 10-4-26-4 including the "prize" scalp with the last ball of his allocation. Nasty was as tight as a gnats-chuff with 7.1 overs for just 5 runs. Scotty (6-0-22-2) bowled excellently in the final phase of the game to exert the killer pressure on Cross.
Excellent outfielding (concentration levels kept up) and 3 run-outs achieved - some super stuff from Jey in the deep.
Marvellous work chaps.

[Mr Belly]

Actually just found this private message in my ESCA DF mailbox from Charlie....

"Ian,

I've been in touch with a printers who are prepared to give us a good deal on a 10 ft by 6 ft laminated poster to pin up in our dressing room at Muirhouse.


Could you make sure you post the right type of over-confident statement (no more than 25 words) on your website or message board by 12pm Weds at the latest (it'll cost double if he has to do it later than this).

ta

Charlie

p.s. by then we'll also have analysed the film taken of Mr Higgins by our man hidden behind the trees at Grange Loan... "

No comment necessary.... bar it's about time HX got their own website/DF for a proper war of words I say !!

[beasty]

well done ones, about time you beat the Cross.

Shielsy- Are you retiring from bowling now that you have remembered how to bat? Well done on the 41.

Mel C you kick ass buddy.

[pawbroon]

I think Mr Shiels may well be retiring his .... run up.. after his one over dissapeared for 11 yesterday. That said it must have worked in some way.

Very impressive in the bits i saw boys. Well done

[Mr Belly]

1-0-11-0 was all part of the master tactical plan.
Not retired quite as yet !!

Extras 13

Once again the luck deserted the third team with 4 catches spilled and other chances dropping just beyond players reaches. Tony Simpson's dismissal emphasised the lack of luck as the ball bounced off Tony into the air and on to his foot and then rolling onto the stump just dislodging the bail

The bowling was fairly good with Martin the pick with an aggressive spell. Tony was his usual economical self and picked up 2 good wickets before Paul Leonard's left arm wobblers did for 3 of the Edinburgh lower order.

The batting, Pretorious, apart was a disaster with 4 ducks and only one player in double figures. Only Martin shined with 22 including one straight driven 4 that almost removed the nonplaying, umpiring, skipper permanently - before I ended up on me arse just in time - I believe a comedy moment nomination from the assembled Mufters was suggested .

After wards at the Murrayfield Hotel, we encountered Matty Boyd on BBQ duties fleecing £3.50 a time for a burger off the drunken Rugby 7s fans. Matty now has dyed Maroon hair - can someone please select him to play so I can relinquish the Barnet award?

As the Glasgow Accies rugby boys were downing pints of lager with tomato sauce, salsa and mustard tops much to the displeasure of the bar staff, we departed to lick our wounds.
