Quokkas Cricket Club

Harpenden Dolphins CC 94–0 beat Quokkas 93 all out (Ali 37, Faggie 23)

This is usually the time where describe all the exciting activities I have done over the winter to pad out the first match report of the season. Unfortunately, I’d have to be Jonny Kim to have enough things to write about to counterbalance what will be a very brief description of the events of Sunday. Let me cut to the chase. The Quokkas got thumped and I failed to even make it to the ground. So, I will keep things brief, very much in line with the time it took to complete this game

Harpenden Dolphins CC 185-9 (Smruti 3-18, Harry 2-25, Mike 2-34) beat Quokkas CC 184-7 (Seagull 52, Faggie 48, Tugboat 40)

It was a weekend of birthdays. Paul McCartney made it to 80 and The Yak is slowly catching him up. Both seemed to enjoy the celebrations. Neither seem to age. The similarities possibly end there unless Tom is also carrying pictures of Chairman Mao that I wasn’t aware of.

Paul may have been seen to break up the fab four when he wouldn’t delay the release of his solo album and then gave an answer to a journalist’s question that “The Beatles no longer existed”, but the truth is John Lennon quit the band some time previous and then they all kept quiet about it until they got their (tax) affairs in order. I’m no expert, but Yoko may have had something to do with John’s decision and maybe George’s desire to have his song writing skills recognised would have seen him jump ship if John hadn’t got to the punch first.
