Police comfortably put a halt to our one win streak at a barren and Africa hot JPO this Sunday gone. Stats below tell the tale of the tape, lost the toss and fielded under a merciless clear and still sky. They got off to a brisk and arsey start, then we slowly reeled them in with excellent bowling from the pacemen and very spirited fielding all round. Josh was the pick of the bowlers bowling 10 straight, 7 pace then 3 spin taking 2 for 30. Rups bowled Pearson Best and Hector made a great comeback bowling 10 overs picking up 3 -45. Then after doing so well to reel them in and most of their batsman back in the pavilion the Passion was victim to 5 dropped catches in the outfield and various other sloppy misfields which probably amounted to another 50 runs on the board as they ran away in the last 15 overs to compile 240. Tommy took a blinder of a catch – running back overhead and diving full stretch to take in one hand (pure passion) and Ledge was outstanding in cutting off anything headed his way. Lots of good chirp in the field. Chris Smith leaving his eye on a skier a little too long ended up with a $700 fine from Chrissie Tomlinson and 3 stitches.

Chasing the runs, it is fairly obvious to see when 5 of the top 8 score 13 runs combined you are probably going to be in trouble, Paul certainly had a very dubious run out from the home team umpire. Tommy cramped up, Smith was at the hospital and Joe had gone back to rugby (his first commitment for the day) so we were in a spot of bother. Still we laid down rather meekly (maybe a little too keen to get to the greenies on ice, not realising how completely disgusting Robbo’s Thai cocktail with pordi poo would be). Josh made a rusty but composed 48, my 36 equally lacked any touch, only Tom looked in control with his second dig scoring 36 off 32 all too late. Hector made a fine 0 in his 20 partnership with Tom, for which he was fined, and Joe made his best duck of the season to date after being timed out, just in time for the fine bottle!
