It's just like 'The Ashes'!

Last night 'The Rabblers' took on the Hayes Lane Ultras, which is the Bromlet supporters', in the fourth annual 20/20 cricket match. A change of venue, it was at one of our old football venues, Coldharbour Sportsground, in Mottingham.

Just like England in 'The Ashes' our glorious victory last year was but a distant memory, & we lost again, with the 2008 encounter appearing to be a 'one in a generation' thing, just like England in the Ashes series with the old convicts from Australia.

I had hoped to bring you a team photo, and cobble together some sort of report on the occasion, but unfortunately I couldn't get a snap, as the players were uninterested. So I chose to do the same, and blanked them, choosing to go straight back to the station, & catch the first train home.

I can only run a blog for the team, & for everyone, including myself to enjoy, if people help me out! A team picture only takes a few seconds! Thanks chaps!

For the record, we were put into bat, & scored fifty runs at the end of our innings. Bromley wuickly surpassed this, & Phil Baker kindly agreed to extend the game so Bromley could enjoy their full twenty overs, & they finished up with 99 runs, though I didn't check how many wickets went on the way to this total.
