And the Juggernaut Rolls On...

We're currently running 2nd and met today fellow semi final contender Baulkham Hills at our home ground (Daniel St Park) in the 3rd and final one day match of the season. After our obligatory middle order collapse (we were 5/60 at one stage) we finished our full allotment of 42 overs at 9/185. Top scorer and rescuer of the innings was Noyz Brewster with 60.


Highlight of the innings though was Joey's end of innings theatrics when we went to town with several boundaries and one all mighty six that cleared the fence, the 20 metres of grass where we were sitting and then the parks boundary fence to crash fair smack in the middle of our captain Terry's bonnet of his Subaru.


Of course before we had to go out and field, Joe had to pose seductively on the said bonnet with the dodgy bat he uses. This shot was taken very quickly though as Terry was at this time looking for a large object to bash Joe with...


We then fielded and made early in roads into the Baulkham Hills top order to have them 3/10 and from then on we really did cruise (it was hot!) to bowl them out for 112. I did get my first catch of the year too, so I was happy.

This final shot is when it was all over and were considering which pub to go to... of course it was the Coolibah Hotel - proud sponsors of Greystanes Cricket.
