LAST BALL THRILLER IN THE DARK!! VILLAGE CRICKET SERIES #3: Aldenham vs Bovingdon T20 Final

[@NickKrige]

um, Aldenham's second opening bowler was definitely chucking it.

[@buttbadar3847]

wacked him about today rubbish pitch

[@gmtvgold2941]

I can understand why Billy Bunter was so upset at 21:48, it was indeed remiss of the umpire not to raise the sun a few degrees to improve the light.

[@SandersteadCCTV]

😂 Billy Bunter!

[@harrysmeed1058]

Should visit Rye CC in East Sussex, a nice town ground. On August 6th we are playing the MCC in an all day game play starting at 11:00 o clock should come down and film will be a good day.

[@ethos2781]

The Wicket was the PERFECT TEE! ... Superb Clean Striking!👍☕

[@w0033944]

8:08 Dan Allen, connoisseur of fields! I have to say, it is picturesque.

[@JeDaCheese]

9:25 but they're not going anywhere...frrrrt!

[@andymoore9977]

I do hope you guys at S CC TV attend the finals day.

[@michaelward8795]

I have already asked if he can!

[@andymoore9977]

3:57 I wonder if one can bring one's own choice of sofa. A delightful opportunity for self expression. Perhaps Sanderstead CC could instigate such a match occasion. With entry fees for charity and prizes based on comfort ,utility and sheer silliness.

[@peterward5089]

What a field and great batting too.

[@w0033944]

Some lovely batting from Aldenham there!

[@w0033944]

The bowler Bovingdon brought on at 10:12 is pretty quick!

[@andymoore9977]

07:19 As if the batsmen heard your observations, he unleashes a truly delightful cut.

[@cogidubnus1953]

Agree with your opening comment above - at it's finest...you couldn't have scripted it more neatly, and if you had, nobody would believe you anyway!

[@jamesgolbey8011]

A bit of a shambles. I knew there would be problems when early in the second innings Dan mentioned the sun setting behind the bowler's arm. Surely they need to start a bit earlier?

[@whatzup7875]

Wat an awesome ground. I wish i cud play someday here..

[@andymoore9977]

07:29 'Imagine the carnage of a pair of Monroes.' I understand there are 282 Munros in Scotland, imagine that lot on your village green (tartan batting pads?), or is Wikipedia confusing me again?

[@w0033944]

Wonderful stuff chaps!

[@SandersteadCCTV]

Chris Bell thanks - it was great to film a close game!

[@christophertalbot9488]

When I played for Aldridge I scored for an Under 17s game one evening. By the time the match was in its dying moments it was very dark, and the outcome depended on a shot that none of the fielders saw. It didn't go for four but they (Aldridge) were running hither and thither looking for the ball as the batsmen ran the winning runs.

[@w0033944]

Sounds suitably village!

[@christophertalbot9488]

Ironically, the lad running around like a headless chicken looking for the ball played a couple of seasons for Glamorgan!

[@w0033944]

@@christophertalbot9488 Doesn't give him any greater ability to see things in the dark, I suppose!

[@tomwhitton5661]

I have played at knebworth many many times!

[@shaunnicholson5389]

9.25....FART! Brilliant...

[@anglosaxon5874]

It was so dark, the bowlers needed are care dog to show them to the crease! lol

[@andymoore9977]

Jack Bond the Lancashire captain in the golden era of one day cricket died earlier this month. He led the Lancashire team in that remarkable match, televised live by the BBC, when David Hughes smote the ball to win against Gloucester in virtual darkness. Not quite history repeating itself... We all know what incident will be the subject of endless scrutiny and conjecture. Best to move, no one has ever mentioned England's 3rd goal in final tie of 1966, have they?

[@phillippowell7905]

Another excellent video :)

[@SandersteadCCTV]

Loved doing this one - they’re in the finals day this Sunday and I really want to film it.

[@w0033944]

The Bovingdon opener's innings reminded me of a typical Shareef example; wonderful stroke-making but you'd have liked it to have lasted longer than it did.

[@thatonlycalvin4508]

Great video as always, nice to see village cricket getting the recognition it deserves! I do have to ask, what is the concept of a “shoe”?

[@jamesgolbey8011]

I have no idea what you mean? Where is this "shoe" discussed?

[@SandersteadCCTV]

A “shoe” is a fine for a dropped catch where the dropper has to drink a pint from his shoe! Derivation: Southampton University (but probably elsewhere too)

[@xOPS_Hova]

Would love to play for Sanderstead tbh

[@w0033944]

21:04 - he did well to guide that to safety.

[@heritageted8335]

Had the pleasure of watching James Allen and Christie’s hard work on the ground be ruined by a Fox last night great viewing

[@Wilberforce53]

I'd argue that he broke the stumps without the ball so even though one bail remained, he should've taken a stump out the ground?

[@SandersteadCCTV]

Akarn we had an incident like this earlier in the season and the laws allow for a single bail to still constitute an unbroken wicket- so the ump got it right here. Whether by luck or knowledge, who knows!

[@Wilberforce53]

Oh really? I’ve genuinely never known the rules, but now I do. Entertainment and knowledge! Cheers bud!

[@jamesgolbey8011]

This happened somewhere recently (been watching so much cricket I can't remember where). The ball knocked off the off bail but not the other and the batsman was given not out.

[@MrHistorian123]

Law 29.2 applies. "If one bail is off, it shall be sufficient for the purpose of putting the wicket down to remove the remaining bail or to strike or pull any of the three stumps out of the ground, in any of the ways stated in 29.1." So he was legally out.

[@tomwhitton5661]

My home county!

[@w0033944]

4:37 - full toss given the treatment it deserved!

[@ashleyclapp5433]

Opening bowler for the second innings 100% throwing it ...

[@MrHistorian123]

Yes.

[@SandersteadCCTV]

All’s fair in love, war and village cricket!

[@ashleyclapp5433]

Sanderstead CC TV I’ve definitely had more suspect actions bowl at me 😂

[@gooner1ization]

That was great fielding but definitely a 4

[@deanthomas4377]

9:26

[@CharlieMeds]

The finals day is 11th August not 20th

[@SandersteadCCTV]

Yes, I realised too late! Still might go and film it - 50% chance

[@CharlieMeds]

Sanderstead CC TV My club Frogmore CC will be there, we’ve lost in the final to Aldenham two years running and looking to dish out some revenge! Would be great to have you guys film it - I can promise fireworks!

[@SandersteadCCTV]

I do want to. I want to see the Munroe Brothers smack it around again. Just have to resolve other commitments.....

[@christophertalbot9488]

Not sure about some of the bowling actions.

[@SandersteadCCTV]

All’s fair in love, war and village cricket!

[@sausagehead6546]

15:29 massive chuck 😂

[@charlie-oo4bx]

Come down to findeon dolbern cricket club u won’t regret it

[@clutchmaster9412]

Hype x Chaz I literally live 20 minutes away From Finedon Dolbern Cricket Club Awesome Ground. What Team do you play for? if you don’t mind me asking...

[@ManiacalKiwi]

8:26 There is no way he thought he saved that. NOT CRICKET!

[@SandersteadCCTV]

It’s all OK in the village!

[@zachdebruin5836]

batting team win the bowler didnt take the stump out of the ground on the last ball he had already knocked it off before

[@SandersteadCCTV]

Zach de bruin no, laws say it’s OK if one bail still remains. We had a similar incident earlier in the season.
