Match was Abandoned Rain

Match report FIELD OF STREAMS (by King Louis)
As a good a performance in the field as we have seen in many a season, with 7/8 catches taken including a ferocious c&b from Bernard that shows there's life in the old dog yet. With the weather always threatening, getting the best out of the ball seemed the best option and the coin fell in our favour.
Smurf's opening spell was bouncy, swinging, lively and... accurate(!) and the batsman didn't like it.
The one that removed the opener was a peach, drawing him forward then nipping in to off-peg.

Bernard's bowling changes all worked perfectly today as I replaced Kevin and dismissed the other opener in my 2nd over, then Rowland Reeves replaced me and had a caught behind with his 4th ball.
He later induced two easy catches for a c&b and to midwicket for Tom Harley.

Mr Harley starred at the other end, moving his field around intelligently to create 3 good catches: from a diving Pearcey (you read that correctly) at backward point and 2 well-judged steeplers to Smurf at mid on (ditto).

At one point a sub 140 score looked on the cards but the combination of 2 or 3 rain breaks and the ball's subsequent deterioration allowed the oppo's last pairs to add 30 quick runs in the closing overs.

The heavens then opened in biblical fashion and any last hopes of a full match were washed out. (On the plus side it allowed us to settle in and focus on a very agreeable tea.)
