| Britwell Salome vs Ewelme | 16th May 2012 |
| Game cancelled as the pitch is unplayable due to yesterday's rain |
| Ewelme vs Great Milton (or Jackson the superhero!) | 13th May 2012 |
A new fixture for 2012, and what a match! Ewelme bowled first and bowled the opposition out 108 runs, the bowlers all performing well (Jacko took 3, Reg and Andy took 2 each) and the fielders taking their catches. We really should have knocked off the runs, but the batsmen just couldn't get going. Bumpy weighed in with 18 not out and Ross scored 20. However, with one ball to go, we still needed 2 runs to win, and Jackson (number 11!) was out there facing it. Everyone was worried at this point, including Jacko, but he somehow managed to club the ball to cow corner for 4 meaning we had won by one wicket!.
Of course this meant that he was able to tell everyone in the pub about his match winning exploits, and after a few pints of Fosters he was heard to descibe the shot as "a glorious cover drive that Ricky Ponting in his prime wouldn't have been able to play, off a ball that was swinging both ways and turned a right angles after it had landed".
But he was the hero, so we'll let him off this time!! |

| Ewelme vs Moreton | 2nd May 2012 |
| The first T20 Wednesday league game managed to go ahead, despite the wicket being under water on Tuesday morning! Ross won the toss and bowled first, Morton scored 150 off their 20 overs. If we'd have taken our chances it probably would have been less, a lesson for us all! Ewelme's innings started brightly, Tim opened the batting and scored 18 including his first 2 sixes for the club. Ben Denton scored 20, Ben Strudley scored 52 (again) but ultimately we fell short by 16 runs. However everyone thoughly enjoyed the match, roll on next week! |

| Double Wicket | 22nd Apr 2012 |
| The usual number arrived for the Double Wicket, the rain held off, good food and cricket all round. The competition was won by Ben Strudley and Andy Carter, who were presented with a makeshift trophy because the real one has gone missing somewhere. |
| The start of the 2012 season | 19th Apr 2012 |
| The hosepipe ban has started - cue the torrential rain, obviously - so it must be the beginning of the new Cricket Season. This Sunday is the hotly anticipated Double Wicket opener to the 2012 Season. For the curtain-up we will revert to the normal Double Wicket format. Turn up with a partner or be prepared to go into the draw...you might get lucky. BBQ will be served at lunchtime and there may just possibly be a few fruit and hop juices during the day. |
