Chorleywood give Farnham a lesson in honesty

They denied Nige of his well deserved 5 wickets and Paul of his second catch (yes Calv) of the match when their batsmen punched the ball into the keeper's gloves and refused to walk. The old boy umpire lost his bottle completely and didn't give him. We almost threw the toys out but managed to keep calm to put in the best fielding display in recent memory including a great low catch at point (Tris), two slips catches (JP), sliding stops (Junior) and a fantastic runout with Tris scooping the ball back from the rope, Si winging in it over the stumps and Paul (that man again) taking the bails off.

We set about the run chase with Si playing strokes all over the park and Luigi (25*) providing great support. James stepped up at the end with 10 not out and after a quick look at the scoreboard, advanced six paces down the track to collect the ball from outside off stump and whip it over the mid-wicket boundary for the required 6 runs. They came off the non-walking batsmen who we had earlier caught of a suspiciously bump ball!

Great game and a full team for curry.
