Match cance... just getting a head start with the match report...!
Actually, it was cancelled. The weather was fine but the track & outfield was too damp so that snuffed the life out of the 2008 season.

Perry 1 for3, Brocklebank 0 for 3
Neen won by 9 wickets
Horrible. The wicket was a damp, trampolining devil and the ball swung and ping ponged around like a dervish until the late afternoon. This did not excuse Harvey's stupid, suicidal run out in the third over that set the tone for a limp effort by the home side. Credit to Neen for their persistant and accurate bowling.
After tea the pitch had dried into a friendly, comfy armchair of a track and this produced a processional run chase. Nowt else to report except a wicket for Mr R Perry which cheered him up no end as he morphed into a wannabee slow left armer again. Alfrick next week. Things change after Alfrick.

MATCH 7: vs Flyford Flavell at home on 25th May 2008
Match cancelled due to, yes, you've guessed it: RAIN...
MATCH 6: vs Holt & Grimley at home on 22nd May 2008
20 over game. Clent won the toss & elected to field.
Holt & Grimley 148 for 7 off 20 overs
Brocklebank 5 for 18, Moore 1 for 19
Clent 102 all out off 17.2 overs
Waterworth 35, Brocklebank 19 not out
Holt won by 46 runs
This began as a farce with two late player drop-outs & the star batsman failing to attend (hence the decision to bat second). The 1st innings was keenly competed. Holt started well & Brock rattled a few out towards the end & a challenging target was set. Slow bowling held sway & the quicks were punished.
What followed was probably the most tedious innings I have witnessed: Holt's Worcester Nomads 2nd's "ringers" rattled through our top order leaving us punch drunk on 30 odd for 6. Then a succession of veteran pie-chuckers were nudged & noodled around in the long grass until the innings was mercifully brought to an end. A comprehensive defeat.

MATCH 5: vs The Fugitives away on 18th May 2008
40 over game. Clent won the toss & elected to bat first.
Clent 193 for 5 off 40 overs
Harvey 45, Griffin 40 not out
Fugitives 151 all out off 35.5 overs
Glasby 3 for 27, Brocklebank 3 for 29
Clent won by 42 runs
A bright & breezy day led to a similar start but the shock dismissal of star batsman Duffy choked the innings for a short while. A steady stand was then continually threatened by Harvey's suicidal quick singles & then a wobble on 95 as 3 wickets fell without a run scored. Fine knocks by Griffin & Beddington continued the batting improvement for this season as we set a good target for the home side to chase.
With the cross breeze still playing havoc with the bowling line the Fugitives openers survived the Clent quicks but fell to the Clent Kev's as Glasby & the evergreen & perma-tanned Smith ripped out the top five inside 12 overs. Wickets were then eeked out at important moments & Brock went rabbit catching at the end to seal an impressive win.
Comedy moment was Lally surviving an off stump varnish remover!

MATCH 4: vs Sportsman away on 10th May 2008
35 over game. Sportsman won the toss and elected to field.
Clent 139 for 9 off 31.5 overs
Beddington 42, Brocklebank 29
Sportsman 110 all out off 33.4 overs
Brocklebank 3 for 11, Glasby 3 for 23
Clent won by 29 runs.
At last a bit of good weather & even a prepared wicket to play on - unusual for this ground. Put into bat with at least 3 or 4 regular batsmen missing the two openers navigated carefully through the first few overs. Lally fell first & debutant Mezzone retired with a dodgy knee & then the first of the "Vietcong balls" arrived to tunnel beneath Harvey's defenses. Brock & Bedds then rallied with a stand of 60 that took the game away from the home side who then skittled out the long tail for 139.
Jungle warfare continued as Bedds clipped a sly leg stump & then the heavens opened with Sportman struggling on 28 for 4. Gleeson applied some welcome pressure after the interruption after the "quicks" had shipped runs on the damp track. McFarlane (42 n.o.) threatened to take his side home but ran out of partners with Glasby & Brock cleaning up the tail nicely in the steaming cauldron of Edgbaston.

Match 2: vs Tibberton at home on 27th April 2008
40 over game. Clent won the toss and elected to bat first.
Clent 184 for 9 off 35 overs
Duffy 99, Harvey 26
Tibberton 30 for 1 off 6.5 overs
Beddington 1 for 15, Brocklebank 0 for 12
Match abandoned.
Despite the weather trying it's hardest to keep us indoors once again we were all stunned to find ourselves in our whites preparing for a game. The start was delayed for 25 minutes & Clent won the toss on an unprepared track (groundsman presumed we wouldn't bother - ha!) that was damp & green.
Debuts to Vernon Bardsley & Kevin Glasby who will undoubtedly prove to have good contributions to make this season and a 100th appearance for Richard Perry - the 7th player to achieve this milestone for the club. Duffy and Harvey took advantage of the slow track & cruised to 106 before Harvey fell to a top edge to deep square leg. Duffy then continued in imperious fashion to 99 (yes - 99) having played some massive shots and making the bowlers wish they had stayed in bed. The club naturally subsidise counselling and Duffy should pull through before his next game. The innings then hobbled along to its conclusion at a useful 184 for 9.
Sadly, the weather stitched us up again and we all gave up after 7 overs of the Tibberton innings and we all went for a warm at the pub.
