Bad day at the office as OWs carpet off-form Cincers

Some match reports are best kept brief.
And this is one of them.
After pulling off a surprise victory a couple of years ago v OWs, we were always due for a revenge defeat.
And so it proved last month (May 19).
On a lightening quick outfield, the powerful OWs batting line-up whalloped us for 199 for 4 off 35 with few of the bowlers - Abid apart - coming up trumps.
In a wily old spell, Abid went for just 13 off 7 (with one wicket).
Zeeshan, a late call-up and making his second appearance for Cincers, also did well with some pacey opening stuff.
But a veil shall be drawn over much of the rest - including one who went for over 10 an over!
We were poor - and bad-tempered - in the field, and got what we deserved.
The reply?
We were rarely up with the rate but a star was born in the batting of debutant George A.
Opening up, George combined a very straight bat with some sumptious shots - none more so than the glorious pull-drive six over mid-on off a ball that was almost a good length.
OWs are a decent bowling attack and one of George's top-of-the-bounce check drives through cover was top drawer.
Sadly, he went for 33 (caught strangled down the leg-side).
Did I mention Dee's 'made my mind up before he bowled' shot?
The pre-emptive swipe turned out to have little to do with the ball and he was gone for a solitary single.
A fine half-century from Tim M (52) and Abid (26) kept OWs in the field though we were always off the pace.
Oh and there were gentle pleas from the watching Cincers, in a voice that sounded remarkably like Majid's - that Abid could have got 'more of a move on'.
Anyhow, we finished well of the pace at 153 for 7 off 35.
Cincers' Man of the Match: Abid for his miserly spell (bowling - not his batting!)
