Go The Mighty B10's

Well, on a wet weekend, the mighty mighty Greystanes B10 cricket team prevailed in our semi-final match against the dark villainous Wenty Waratahs in a cliff hanger.  Sent into bat on a cold wet day, Greystanes struggled early on to be 5/51 when the rain and ultimately stumps came on Saturday night.  Yours truly had top scored with 17 but it was a grinding innings with just two 2's and thirteen singles and the long grass plus decent bowling of the opposition kept the pressure on us.
Sunday was the day of my shingle attack and having batted, I spent the day on the lounge watching football, but the boys gamely pressed on and Greystanes were bowled out for 109 with Nick Nardo clubbing 2 mighty sixes at the end which would prove the difference.
Greystanes, basically needing to bowl Wenty out quickly got off to the perfect start with a wicket on the fourth ball of the innings and Wenty were 1/0.  Wenty consolidated and at drinks were 2/45 and seemingly cruising.  Then according to the various phone calls, all hell broke loose as Simon Agius picked up 5 wickets and the rest of the bowlers also kept it tight and in jubilant scenes which I could hear down the phone line, the final Wenty wicket fell with the score at 105.  The team had pulled it out of the fire and its grand final week next week.
We will be playing away though as the other semi final was washed out and the minor-premiers Pendle Hill went through on the rain rule.
