Biddestone A Indoor v Winsley B
Sunday 15th Jan saw us restart the Div 1 Indoor season after the Christmas break, with 5 regulars available but upwards of ten players not due to Football or work getting a 6th person proved impossible! Despite several calls and texts, 5 minutes before start time we still only had 5, so the Team Manager had to don his Biddestone shirt once more, batting first Winsley did not got off to a flyer, Marshy and Jamie keeping it tight, a couple of half chances missed might have worried us but it soon became apparent the luck may be with us, a batsmen run out backing up off Marsh’s already bruised forearm and another run out between Tom and H saw Winsley continue to struggle, Liam dropped the easiest of caught and bowled and then immediately caught a harder one! Another run out and then some hard hitting saw Winsley reach only 78, with H and Jamie again batting well we set off in pursuit well, with H about to retire he was caught in the gully area, this then saw us have the usual Biddestone wobble, Jamie retired and then Tom immediately ran himself out which meant Kris joined Liam with still a few required, a couple of dabs and nudges from both left us 4 off the last over to get, a single and then a dot left Kris 3 off 4, a sweep to the corner and Liam make it home saw us win with 3 balls to spare, looks like we will finish top half with one game to go against our old local rivals Chippenham.
Umpiring the following game saw defending Champions Winsley lose to Bradford which has made the whole league interesting.
