Match Drawn, Hornsey 4 points
A somewhat bizarre game, where Barnes effectively played for 1 point almost as soon as they started batting. The match started late (with consequent reduction in overs) because Barnes could only locate five stumps and had to go and buy a new set. With at least 3 players stuck in traffic or lost, it was a good job that Hornsey were inserted and John Simon took the opportunity for a rare foray up the order with an excellent 68. Alastair Thomas, Andy Myhill and Disco all got starts and Scott Haughton scored a quickfire 20 to ensure a decent total. Barnes dropped some seriously simple catches and could have had Hornsey in trouble. Pinned down by accurate bowling at the start (Bruce 14-7-17-1), and with Tim Waine extracting good bounce and pace to take 3-59 off 15 over two spells, Some electric catching as well by Ashraf, Disco and Scott Haughton who all clung on to fierce chances. Considering how well we bowled, these catches were of a full toss and two long hops, officially now known as "shickets". Speak to Ed Waite or Marty Tucker for a derivation of this if you don't know. Barnes were 30-4 before putting the block on. The skipper batted throughout the whole innings for 70% although most of these came in the last five overs. Needing around 96 off the last 10 overs for the 4 points, Barnes scored 74 of them without too many alarms, which made the decision to be so negative early on an odd one. Some of the opposition players were a little baffled by events. Suffice to say their skipper was chuffed with his red-inker. We badly missed having a spinner this week, as once the shine and hardness had gone off the ball it was always going to be difficult winkling out defensive batsmen unprepared to take a risk.
4 points and still top of the league
