At 9000m, higher than Everest, the symptoms of altitude sickness are listed as:

Headache
Lethargy
A drop in performance
Lack of coordination
Insomnia
Appetite loss
Dizziness
Nausea

Uncannily similar to attitude sickness at 9000 runs for the Greys. In fairness a lot of them were on tour at two in the morning.

A beautiful sunny day at Horley saw TMG comprehensively dismantle their opponents and Dave’s back.

Adam, under parental crowd pressure and Delboy, having stepped in to make up the numbers, went early. Both falling victim to significant movement on a bowler’s track. Dunc and Biffo steadied the ship and set a platform for Dom to continue his charity mission of donating cricket balls to deserving families who live within a halfmile of a ground. Assisted by Robbie H, Alex and DD he made an undefeated 65 bringing the Greys to 160 for 7 after 35.

After a decent tea DD and QB, bowling with control and flair put TMG in a strong position four wickets down only for Dave’s back to go.Hope you get well soon from everybody.

The quality bowling continued as Terry (down in the scorebook as) Virgis ,praised by the skipper for bowling four extreme dolly mixtures “all in difficult areas to hit” picked up a couple.
As did, “He’s so fine , Tim Laing ,Tim Laing” Tim Laing, getting shape, bounce and real zip from his more settled runup and Del bowling off spin. No there is obviously not an end to his talents.

Rob took a great slip catch after being put at second by Ben, Biff took a couple, one with a demi chaise longue and tumble(respect to Tim and Rob for hearing the call and stopping), and Del took two much better ones, made to look easy.

Horley were dismissed for around a ton at about 6.30, happy days.

DFWTMG!

Statto’s report

Roy Castle famously could get a tune out of virtually any kitchen appliance and in his spare time he also presented Record Breakers…
Unfortunately he is no longer with us otherwise he could have nipped down to Brighton and presented Biff with a gold lame shell suit to commemorate his epic achievement of 9000 runs for the Mighty Greys!!!
Elsewhere in the stats Dom skips to the top of the batting with a seasons highest score 68*, but after this Sunday’s catchfest…no drops…6 catches…he is removed from the top of the Norfolk Enchants (for the time being).
DD takes a step toward 400 career wickets but crocked himself so EO will be eyeing the title with renewed vigour.
Next up Twineham on the shagpile.
