Greatest defeat in the history of sport

Great defeats are measured in how close one gets to unlikely goals and that was the story of red24s second league fixture against Friendz. Friendz batted first, and led by Captain Chandler amassed an impressive 112 in 16 overs. Red24 bowling and fielding resembled a chain saw juggling contest gone wrong at times; however, there were a few surprises with Odette “the Lion Heart” taking three superb diving catches, managing on the third to wave at the cameras as she flew through the air to catch a well placed hit by Friendz strongwoman, Rachel. Bryn “Line up the KFC buckets” also fielded well nearly taking a number of run outs. The bowling was particularly poor at times and red24 will have to work hard on this discipline going into the next game on Monday night (31 May). Speaking to the press after the game Emil “take one on the leg for the team” said, “I definitely think we need to give one hundred and ten percent ….or at least 10, yip, lets start there.” Tear jerking stuff form the debutant.

The batting began well with the happy couple (Cam & Jason) putting together a stand of 28 in the opening four. The next few partnerships added 20 odd and unfortunately left the “anti-Klusener” Colling and Fighting Gill too much to do in the end, with red24 falling agonizingly close to their first victory in season one of the revival. Red24 will take heart from the fact that 75 percent of the female players on the opposition team tested positive for high levels of testosterone but were not disqualified as the men of Friendz threatened the arena manager with a "n lekker beating nay" if they forfeited their win…not too sure how any of that connects to the cricket…forgive me its late. Next game is Monday 31 May. LET’S GO GET EM GUYS! RARA!
