Masterclass by the Chairman can't save Cincers as short-staffed BK run out the winners

There'll be a time when we'll see the funny side.
Desperate for players, BK issued an impassioned plea for help - and we gave them Shahbaz and Ali.
And what do they do?
Only smash 93 between them to help BK to an improbable 243 for 5 off only 35.
As I say, we'll see the funny side of this one day. But not yet.
In reply, what we got was a masterly innings from Tim R.
'Pace' George, but this is probably destined to be the innings of the season.
Chanceless but up with the pace required.
A sort of Ian Bell-meets-Jonathan Trott performance - gritty, stubborn but fluent.
No-one else for Cincers even hit double figures until Majid late in the day scored 21.
We ended up 20-odd runs short because no-one else could support the Chairman.
George, opening with Tim, went early again.
Dee seemed to have a dinner date as he absently-mindedly swished across the line and was LB.
Tom? Tom was run out.
He wasn't happy but this report is happy to let him tell you why.
As for our performance in the field, it was so/so.
Better than against Colfes (could it have been worse?)but not great.
It was our first time at Charlton Park and the vagaries of a short boundary on one side took some getting used to.
Naveed was the pick of the bowlers with 2 for 38 off seven though Chris P was economical at 0 for 20 off six.
The rest of us did our duty. And got thumped.
Oh and Abid was late again.
But that's hardly news.
