The Fozzie Bears roll into the 23/24 season in good spirits. An Aikmans pre season debrief established this year's themes. 1. Plenty of chat. 2. Fines are back in fashion. 3. Get the WAGS involved.
Opening game session 1. We are playing SD Misfits (an interesting scoring system). Grass wicket pretty lifeless.
Captain Kados loses the first toss of the season (apparently not a fine) and we are bowling.
Ground conditions are good. Overhead conditions are hazardous with high winds.
Everyone wants to bowl from one end. After 20 overs SD Misfits make 151/7. ‘Lambchop’ 1 for 27 and ‘Arthur’ 4 for 20 were the pick of the bowlers.
SD Misfits are going large with the chat and are feeling confident on past results (dubious) that they are about to roll the Fozzies.
Into bat Swede and Big Dog. A less than auspicious start sees the Fozzies on 17 after 3 overs leaving 134 off 17 overs. Requiring 8 an over. Step in Drapes (umpiring) who warns, then calls a chucker for chucking. Drapes single handedly rattled SD Misfits allowing the Fozzies to cruise to a comfortable win in 13 overs at 13 an over. Swede 43 (retired), Big Dog 40 (retired), Kados 33 Not Out.
A great start to the season celebrated with the WAGS in style at Yoku.
