GORDON VS. WEST By Mitchell Kleem

On a hot and steamy Summer's day
Gordon 4th grade turned up to play
Wests won the toss
which eventually proved to be their loss

Macaffey and Smith opened up
neither bowled with luck
On came Lappan and he eventually struck
He ended with 2/33, line and length was his key.

The star of the day was the 3rd grade sub
no other than best in club.
Robby showed all his superb skills
determination and strongest of wills.

His final figures were 4/21
a great effort under the very hot sun
John blake bowled tidily with 2/14
A handy effort if you know what I mean

Iqbal took 1/25 showing his class
Not a bad effort by Inzi ass
In the end Wests were bowled out for 156
All the bowlers received plenty of ticks.

Both openers went out for the chase
Kleem in particular keen to state his case
They realised an opening partnership of forty
When Kleem was out for 23 leaving it to shorty ( Kenner )

Kenner was eventually dismissed for 7
And in came best in club Rob Evans.
Rob smashed 41
which made the game almost won.

When Captain Stuart Brand was out for 25
our run chase took a nose dive
At the end of the day we were 6/136
but those late wickets really gave us the shits.

Day 2 enter Iqbal and Stuart Orr
what was all the worry for
Iqbal hit a fine 38
Balls short outside offstump he ate
Orr made 33
This kid can bat you see.

250 was the score achieved and Wests were sent back in to bat.
They finished at 1/147 and that was that.
A good day had by all
thats what this game cricket is for.
