Aidan had an opener caught at mid-wicket, Spence made a mess of some stumps, Az came on and with his first ball bamboozled their big-hitter, having him clean bowled and generally looking foolish. And the pattern continued. The Plough were sharp in the field, Damo was immaculate with his line and length, the field placings were inspired, George T (G&T) was spinning a web and dreaming of the five-fer, and we had them 5 or 6 down by drinks.

To finish it all off, Spence, fielding close in for the number 11, seized an opportunity during a vociferous G&T LB appeal to run out the wandering batsman who claimed it was a dead ball. It wasn't. He was out.

With a target of 123, Ainslie and George (S) opened up the chase. But after a solid couple of overs against some tidy bowling, George got a lowie from the left-armer, wrapping him on the pad. The appeal was intense and Hanzi succumbed, triggering the luckless batsman. And it was much the same story for the number 3, G&T. This time Damo lifted the finger, G&T wanted to review, thinking there might be a feather of an inside edge, but despite the opposition's live streaming, no camera angles could save him. And so the two Georges were robbed of their afternoons, sacrificed at the altar of the trigger finger. But then came Greg, calm and assured, to steady the ship with a stoic Ainslie. The two nudged and nurdled their way to drinks, putting the Plough right back in control.

Despite a few wafts, hacks, and charges, leaving the Plough bereft of a few more wickets, Greg brought the match home, hitting the winning runs with a boundary, and picking up a well deserved 50 as he did so.
