Western Union Cup Barking 1st XI -an email view from Tyrone

 Young Tyrone Reis, newly promoted to the 2nd XI,  emails his comments on the 2nd XI game against Wilmington

'again we had another strange game, but unfortunately we lost this one. kojak was 
captain and we took over the role of the first team to play one of 
their cup games (We had to play both the Becker Cup 4th round and the rescheduled Western Union cup round robin game, originally abandoned due to rain, on the same day. The one's played the Becker and the two's played the Western Union game. The two's had to play a 1st XI game against Barking - Ed) . kojak won the toss and told us 'i dont want us running after a big score', because he was informed they had a strong side. (personally I thought they were sh*t!), anyway kojak went on the defensive straight away and we went into bat first and opened with jay (Shah) and mark (Davies). a young kid was bowling to jay and he (Jay) looked as if he was happy with the deliverys and played strong defensive shots. but when mark had to face him he got bowled straight away, the kid bowled him a yorker on his leg stump (and we all know mark has a weak leg 
side), then winston went in and the kid bowled the same ball, in the same over to 
winston and also got him out for a duck. both of them trying to hit the 
ball instead of defending their stumps. then faz went in and in the kids next 
over he also bowled the same ball to faz and got him too. by this time our 
whole team were under a lot of pressure and we knew we had to do something. jay 
was the only one who had stayed there. they brought on another bowler who was 
lifting the ball onto jays chest and forcing him backwards. eventually jay 
jumped backwards and edged the ball onto his own stumps. by this time, we were 
a ridiculous 4 men down for only 20! the only batsmen to play any good against 
this team was one of quadir's mates (cant remember his name off the tip of my 
head). anyway i batted atrociously too, but got the second highest score in the 
team with a humungous 8 runs (what a joke)! we all got out for 80 runs.
then we bowled, wasim bowled so bad, 4-5 wides in one over! kojak also wasn't 
at his best and i only bowled about 3 overs, so never really had a chance to 
release my arm. oh well, you win some and lose some. anyway bye.'
