NB The below match report is to be sung to the melody and rhythm of ‘Redemption Song’ by Bob Marley:
Oh Palm Tree yes they save I Lend us five to fill our ships Minutes after the toss I From the one pound coin flip
Well their openers were made strong By the hand of Cooper and Thompson-ly They bowled for their generation Triumphantly
And we tried to bring Our shots of freedom But all we ever had Was clean bowled - gone No shots of freedom…
Matt and Rahees played-beau-ti-fully None but this pair could free our minds Have no fear for getting two-forty But none of us could-a-stop-a-the-de-cline
How long shall they take our wickets While we stand aside and look Some say it's just a part of it We got to fill in the book
DP and DG bring Their shots of freedom Coz’ all they ever had Were drives of freedom Their drives of freedom…
Our total of 207 Seemed quite strong At halfway time Their leg spinner, Mr Thicknesse Was excellent And bowled good line
Our first three scalps were run outs Rahees, he hit wood twice Then the third bounced off Matt to I And stumps were duly spliced
But then two giants came With strikes of freedom Coz’ all they ever had Were strikes of freedom Their strikes of freedom
In the image below we see red-ink specialists David Proctor and David Gower trudging off the field of play after getting us to 207.
