Cosby Cricket Club 1st XI v Gracedieu Park on Sat 21 Jun 2008 at
Cosby Cricket Club Won by 7 wkts (24 points)
Match report
Steve Bayliss 'Timed Out' as 1s Take Maximum Points
MATCH REPORT: Cosby V Gracedieu at Victory Park, Cosby on Saturday 21st June 2008
With a poor forecast and a damp outfield, the prospect of play in the division 3 clash looked most unlikely, but with a committment from both captains to give the game a chance, as soon as the drizzle stopped!
When the drizzle stopped Cosby won the toss and had no hesitation in asking Gracedieu to Bat first in a 35 over a side match. What followed was some of the strangest cricket I have seen for a while, as the Gracedieu batsmen (all of them) tried to smash the ball out of Cosby from the very first delivery!! In fairness they did it with some success as Matt Hurst and Alex White saw a fair few decent deliveries dispatched to the boundary!
The breakthrough however was only a matter of time and Whitey got it with one that kept a bit low! Matt Hurst then got involved and picked up 3 wickets but it was the run rate that was beginning to worry the skipper, at 20 overs, Gracedieu were 110-4.
In hindsight there was no need to be concerned as Roger Cook and Lee Atkinson slowed the game down with their contrasting versions of spin bowling! Roger bowled well picking up 2-27 off 9.4 overs, but it was Ako who took the plaudits with 4-24 from 9. It was a welcome boost for Captain Scarlet who had been having problems with the Mysterons in recent weeks! Gracedieu closed on 135
After tea Sampson and Todd set about the wayward Gracedieu attack with relative comfort as regular boundaries kept things ticking along, but with the sky looking bleak, it was important that Cosby finished the job asap.
Todd was given out LBW for 16 with the score on 47 and Odell lasted just 3 balls as he edged behind for 0! At this point Steve Bayliss was getting ready and what followed was one of the most discraceful and disgusting acts by an opposition i have ever seen!
Bayliss scampered out to the wicket and then quickly walked back as the Gracedieu side appealed for 'Timed Out', in the umpires view Billy Blue Gloves had taken longer than 2 minutes to get to the crease and therefore he had no choice but to give Billy Out!!
There are several reasons why this is a disgrace;
1. On what planet do you appeal for 'timed out', its just not cricket! I know it is in the Laws but i would never ever appeal for it, and i will do almost anything to win!!
2. The Umpire did not know the Law, he stated that the Law gave the batsmen 2 Minutes, when infact he has 3 minutes!!
3. There was no evidence that the umpire had actually timed Mr Bayliss, therefore how can he make that call!
Anyways, all this left Cosby stunned and potentially in alittle trouble at 47-3!
However, the was no need to panic as Charlie Sampson and Dave Thorpe steered Cosby home to a 7 wicket victory and Maximum Points (24) Sampson finishing unbeaten on 74 and Thorpey 33.
RESULT: Won by 7 Wickets
POINTS: Cosby (24) Gracedieu (5)
MOM: it could have been Ako (4-24), perhaps should be Bayliss!! But has to be Charlie for another excellent knock!
VERDICT: Good performance but still improvements to be made and hopefully lessons have been learned stephen!?!?!
