Game 7 V Barmy Army

Well, what do you say.....Probably our finest moment! After arriving to the ground at St Fagans, Wales, we were welcomed to the smell of Barbeques, Aussie music and a throng of well wishers...including the NG girls, a Barmy Army git and a dressed up stick of leek!!!!
Jason Gillespie lined up for the Wattlesprigs as did Ian Harvey, while Graham Hick and Nick Knight played for the Barmy army. Adam Jackson was named captain, won the toss and batted. Ian 'the Freak' Harvey smashed 75 runs while Fish Whiting made 13. Dizzy was 3 not out at the end. The spriggers made 139 all out from their 20 overs.
Robbie Comerford opened up with Gary 'Toilet' Duns while Dizzy Gillespie was not given the new ball by Jackson!
Cambell Smith and David Brooks kept wicket to the great man in Gillespie, while the whole squad got valuable tips from Ian Harvey while he fielded.
Nick Knight, who has played 10 tests and 100 odi's for his country came to the crease while the BBC TV cameras rolled. Jackson decided it was time for our secret weapon Keith 'Doyley' Doyle to make an appearance at the crease. Knight faced the first 2 balls, 1st a wide and 2nd a double bouncer. But the third ball from Doyley, now described as the 'Downunder' ball was just about to bounce twice when the English test opener snicked it onto his stumps....out for 5. The crowd erupted as Doyley took the accolades from his team mates and all the British press.
Jackson was rewarded, by himself, and bowled to the 'Flat track Bully' in Graham Hick. Possibly Jacko's biggest ever wicket....Graham Hick (65 tests, 120 odi's) caught on the boundry off the bowling of Jackson for 46.
Travis Noy was instrumental in the game taking 2 wickets and causing a run out, while Michael 'Fishy' Whiting was awarded the trophy by the Barmy Army for his knock of 13.
Batting: Adrian Betts 10, Gary Duns 0, Travis Noy1, Robby Comerford 10, Cambell Smith 0, Ian Harvey 75, David Parker 6, Adam Jackson 0, Geoff Cameron 9, Greg Duns 1, Jason Gillespie 3 not out.
Bowling: Travis Noy 2/15
Barmy Army 9/129 Wattlesprigs 139 cc. Aussies 1 Poms nil.
The Wattlesprigs song was sung with gusto at the end, while Dizzy Gillespie was presented with an honorary Sprigger Polo top and Ian Harvey a cap...Graham Hick and Nick Knight were presented official stubby holders.
Thankyou to Alex from the Barmy Army for organising the game.....one for the memory banks.
