Subject: Indoor cricket spectacular Author: Henry Blowfelt. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:13:49 02/12/02 Tue While the ACC is dormant during the winter many of there player either swan off to warmer climates to play in the southern hemisphere or they enjoy their time relaxing away from the game playing such sport as football or rugby. But not Olly Torri, on sunday the 10th of feb while most players were supporting a well earned hangover, olly was at easington comprehensive school sports center plying his trade for his durham college John Snow. The competition: The annual college indoor 6 a side competition. After a 64 not out performance the previous year big this were expected from olly Torri's bat! With am air of confidence Olly walked up to the non strikers end to pursue what surely was to be another big total. However after running a quick single he took his guard and faced up to the local parish quicky. What shortly followed was nothing short of a disaster while trying to flick one of his legs olly lifted his back foot and with the keeper taking a blinding leg side stumping olly was given out. However after confrunting the scorer, it was found that the ball was actually a wide leaving olly's stats reading....0 runs stumped from a wide therefore technically having not faced a ball. anyhow the next two games supposedly could not get any worse.. olly scored a twelve and a 3. in the final game however ollys day finaly arrived, butnot with the bat!!!!!! olly bowling first change took the the openers middle stump out of the ground (well not actually cus they were on springs!!!) on his 3rd ball. olly then preceded to get the no 3 caught in the gully. Olly Torri faced with a hatrick ball.... surely not. The college were found asking themself questions such as, are they injured? or are they really that bad. ollys final ball ove the over brought real drama, as the batsman attempted to defent the ball it stuck him on the pad, the field setting of three slips and a leg slip (this is indoor now so imagine how cocky it is) along with the bowler and keeper all went up. the decision......out! Olly Torri hatrick!!!!! about 4 four overs went by before olly was brought back on again With the firt ball of his new over olly bowled the new bastman... four wickets in four balls, could a double hatrick be on the cards???? The next ball was blocked away by the returning opening batsman who had scored 25 and retired. On the thrid ball of his over oll managed to get the git caught at midwicket. ... 5 wickets in six balls, Could olly clean up the entire team with 3 ball remaining and a batsman with about as much talent as johny ollie playing with a battered cod from the dolphin. Alas no!!! the bugger blocked me out. The final wicket fell in the next over. Olly put him self in the indoor hall of fame and looks at the white indoor ball gleaming on his shelf everynight.
