Game 4 V Braunton CC

A lovely, flat and semi hard pitch meeted us at Braunton. The bus manoevered through the streets with everyone breathing in and making way for the tight 'hedged' passageway! David 'Idi Amin' Parker skippered the side and and did a fabulous job on the field. The spriggers went down to a very competent Braunton side made up of 2 Aussies.

It was the Whiting show however, with dad Mick and son Jordy stealing it. Mick made 48, while son Jordan made 46. Gaz Duns bowled beautifully taking 3 wickets but was hit into the potato feild on 2 ocassions, as was Glenn Whelan. A potato was presented to both players post game.

St. Austell's brewery sponsored the day and the proof whiskey presented to each 'out' batsman was appreciated. Fishy Whiting got the mug and Hoody Ennals gave a great rendition of 'Wattlesprigs 2009 the place to be'....

Score were Wattlesprigs 10/215, Braunton 8/275.
Batting: Moffat 4, Oliver 14, J Whiting 35, Gemmill 28, Doyle 0, M Whiting 47, Edwards 14, Duns 29, Noy 7, G Whelan 11, D Whelan 5. Bowling: Oliver 0/35, J Whiting 1/27, M Whiting 0/22, Edwards 1/16, Duns 3/45, Noy 0/27, G Whelan 1/30, D Whelan 0/66

Off to Cardiff tomorrow via a Bath, but we've already had showers!



Michael 'Fishy' Whiting has a whisky after his fine knock at Bruanton.

  1. Congratulations Jordan & Michael. BJ reckons he could have done better!
    It's great to watch your trip via the blog. The countryside looks lovely - so does the whisky.
    BJ's had a great day at the Gawler footy, off to Snowtown late tomorrow with Dylan.
    Keep those runs & wickets coming.
    Cheers
