PULVERISED! | Cricket highlights w/ commentary | NWLCC 1sts v Clumber Park 1sts | S4 ep5 

Underground, overground opposition run free. The Wombles of Wheatley, carnage are we.

It can be such a cruel game sometimes, but that's what we love about it. It keeps you humble. That century was something else. He looked so, so ordinary at times and then bang! the ball in his slot would just be dispatched. That's the mark of a quality batsman who can get beaten & beaten but then put away a bad ball (sometimes not even a bad ball) without going into his shell.

Umpire raising his hand and then realizing it would miss 2 more sets on top is why i love club cricket

I remember an opener being dropped at slip, first ball, many years ago. Absolutely dolly. Went on to make 120. Bats like that are mostly out for 0 but can get a big score when their eye is in. When you do have one of those eye in batters in place then just rotate the bowling constantly. 1 over spells. You are doing the Kings work putting yourself through these games at the moment Pecky.

Sometimes all the effort adds up to elaborate fishtank all. The first ten overs looked like the openers rode their luck and the guys bowled well... Is Jimmy Nixon surviving as a soldier of fortune in the LA underground, Mr Peck? His dulcet tones alongside yours often lend a lift.

Nothing wrong with NW's bowling, sometimes you meet batters in supreme form. If it's any consolation Three Bridges (a good side) conceded over 300 last week!

Unlucky lads. Keep going, there were definitely some half chances that will go to hand and stick on another day.

Good to see Cal back bowling. Good to have a frontline spinner again. Although Tongy has been looking very good!

Keep going boys. Thanks again for the content. Is jonno the angriest looking man in village cricket?? I’m sure he’s probably a lovely bloke but he scares the bejesus out of me 😂

Rather than point out failings I'd rather highlight that Clumber Park's youth system appears to be bringing along some good new talent and hopefully Wheatley's seconds will produce players in the years to come. Not sure the league mandate for having a go at NWLCC's bowling attack but it appears you're playing gun bats week in, week out and rather than let Jonno et al settle they're having a go and putting pressure back on Wheatley. Only way you're beating that is skittling teams or batting first and putting enough on the board to make the opposition rethink. I have to commend Connor for his steadfast refusal to bowl anything other than into the wicket during the dampest UK spring for decades. Funny thing is that quicker bowl works, sadly it's usually a few (hundred) runs too late. Can thank the window cleaning lady for that one.

Looks like it might be a long season for Wheatley. Hopefully some good fortune will come soon.

Can’t beat a close, nail biting game of cricket. Shame this wasn’t one!

I always feel you have a chance as long as Johnny is at the crease.

Wheatley's bowling seems to getting mullered this season, meaning almost impossible totals to get. Strange thing is that most of these teams you played last year too. Confidence is an amazing thing, so lets hope that next win comes very soon

Was there a happy hour at 5 in the bar??

Sometimes the luck just goes the other way at crucial times - your opening bowling spell should have wrecked their top order...but alas it didnt. There is always next week :)

Some of these umpire decisions are diabolical Conner has had 3 shockers this season

Sometimes you get on runs like this our sunday side is currently im sure it will turn round

Ah yes the age old umpiring... Make a mistake then to correct it make another mistake 😂 unlucky Mr Meistre

29:39 Woman sarcastically waving off Postlethwaite. No need!

Love the channel, it’s fantastic! Would be great if the result isn’t given away in the headline title though!

Need some cover on the boundaries

Great Uncle Bulgaria would be proud. Not convinced so far by your overseas signing - too many short balls amongst the gems, and his batting seems as if he hasn't really got to grips with seaming/swinging English conditions. Still, the only way is up (until it isn't).

So improvements can be made, there was in fact washing on the line at 4:04. Had this been noticed, the result could have gone the other way.

Surely "Wombled" may have been in the running for the video title ? One of the better innings think will seee on thr channel this year, hit the ball and timed it perfectly, suspect he has played higher level in previous years.

Hollow tine the square, put the Surrey loam down and pull the shutters down on the club house. Best I can suggest for this season for NWLCC. Sorry guys.

Did the import snick one and get away with it and then complain when he was given? Swings and roundabouts!

Oh elaborate fishtank

Your missing a good strike bowler, need that pro back you had 2 seasons ago

I don't know what to say. Trying to find some positives with Wheatley is difficult. Come on guys!

Oh dear, 3 village cricket teams i regularly watch all seem to be copping a towelling...nevermind things will get better tough time don't last tough teams do!

@NWLCC id say the ground conditions are Mildly Moist

What a shocking umpire. I’m sorry, but you cannot give competent LBWs in a split second. That and making up for a terrible decision (caught behind) by giving another terrible decision. Horrid.

sad season so far!

Reasonable bowling effort Dreadful batting effort Shocking umpiring effort

Jonno seems to have lost a yard of pace and the batting 🤯 It’s like nobody wants to play proper cricket and just want to pummel every ball out the ground

Terrible batting performance
