2nd Test - Day 4 report

Thu Dec 05, 2024 9:42 am

Day 4 Close
Umbria (1st Innings): 132 all in the hole.
Imaginary: 6 for 2 up 1.

It took the Imaginary chuckers just 3 hours to remove the Umbrian tail in the morning session of Day 4 at the Costcuttle ground in Jillhadi.

Despite having no tail to lean on, Umbrian battersman Mahwannacup Bruhindi still managed to heave a couple of massive yorkies over the fence to add a few more to the total, before finally succumbing to the last ball of the session, when a vicious jiggler from offside dipper chucker Stevie Johnsonson spit back up the pitch and took out his middle leg.

Most of the rest of the day was taken up with the Between-Innings Drinks, during which Imaginary's captain Tony Greggson entertained the crowd with his impressions of the ex-PM fuffering in the early 90s. Both the Umbrian chuckers and the Imaginary opening battersmen somewhat overdid this session, with a series of pints followed by a double brandy each, meaning play in the evening session was kept to a bare minimum. Veteran Imaginary battersman Joe Jimson managed to score a couple before retiring but failed to trouble the scorers, and that was that for the day.

The Imaginary team will be hoping to build up a decent score on Day 5 providing they don't have really awful hangovers.
