Report (in the form of haiku)
Dry, dusty (really!)
Hot, humid, muggy as hell
Skipper loses toss
Stockon and Hopgrove
Deliberate thoughtfully
Askham Bryan bat
Douglas and Robert
Fight off the early pacemen
Runs accumulate
Doug bowled, Grewer too
Woody, Rob shortly after
Sixty on the board
Sharpe counter-attacks
Scores sixteen while Albert blocks
Scoreboard ticks over
Pete goes, then Naveen,
Sideshow – fine form – blasts away
Albert goes for four
The Obold’s first ball
A marvellous cover drive
First runs for the club
Phil caught, Afshin bowled
Praveen gets caught, leaves Sideshow
twenty-one not out
Tasty tea – Pork pie
Victoria sponge, strawberries,
Tiffin a higlight
Pete Wood bowling first
Pace, zip, straight as an arrow,
Awkward for batsmen
Naveen bowling next
very very very quick
you get the picture
Three wickets then fall
perfect yorker from Naveen
unlikely victory?
Batsmen recover
The Grewer bowls no Grewsra
Afshin wicketless
Stockton hit winner
Celebrations, ovation
to the pub we go.

The Hall excels self
The Sideshow with bat, likewise
The Copeland absent.

An innovation too far?

I’d have thought the most “bookish” (Dale, 2010) member of the team would’ve enjoyed a bit of poetry!
Looks like the haiku has divided opinion – other regular followers have also given mixed reviews.
You watch, in 12 months time Agnew will be doing his blog in haiku. Then you’ll all be with me…
