Nepotists CC v Post Modernists CC - Isis Trophy Semi Final
Law changes are not high on the study list between Sunday afternoon friendlies so it did surprise that as recently as last week, law 21.7 (give or take a month) changed from two bounces being legal to only one bounce before it reaches the bat or popping crease.
Nepotists CC v Little Missenden Misfits CC
The ball however was not too conducive to clean hitting or even snicking! The pitch simply did not want to let the ball go. As fast and as bouncy as you would like to bowl, most batsmen were through their shots early, thus many boundaries were only scored from full tosses or when the batsman chose to have a cuppa waiting for the ball to arrive!

Nepotists CC v Shepherd's Bush CC
He had batsmen hitting boundaries off the last ball of the over and then keeping strike for the next. He had batsmen taking singles off the last ball of the over and then losing strike. One batsman even scored a 9; that’s a big hit!! Why is '9' even a scoring option?? He had bowlers doing 5 consecutive overs for God’s sake!

Nepotists CC v Teddington CC
I can’t help but feel this match was simply a waste of everyone’s time. Teddington players that did turn up wish they didn’t and the Nepo’s played in a very positive ‘let’s get this over with’ style without actually saying it. The day came and went in a lethargic blink, which reminds of Steve Werren (AUS) telling me that we are Teddington’s only Sunday fixture, the match played out of long-standing courtesy.

Nepotists CC v Chingford CC
For 20 years I’ve listened to my brother’s wife use their daughters’ ‘cold’ for their not visiting my mother; I never known children to be so regularly ill that didn’t appear on a Sunday night current affairs programme or midday charity hand-out advertisement. So, using an ill-child to justify your decision not to play does not warm me like a good rub of Vicks.
