WC's X factor stuns Knighton Oval

KPl info: Manish is rubbing hands at his latest victory.He successfully defended 24, with Mitesh finishing on 21.

"I would like to thank Mitesh for not subscribing to the prescription of Dr W Grace. If it is a green top, think about it and still bat first. I put my success down to my new anthem. I am bulletproof,Ou, Ou, Ou...," said Manish with a smirk.

"He might not be right most of the time.There is always a first time. For Manish, it's normally the last time. When we were good, we were good. When we were bad, we were bad. Wigston Wanderers were more consistent and won the great moments," said a dejected and gritty Mitesh.

So it is now 7-4.

The pendulum and the Greek gods swing again.

Kpl: Back to back matches had mixed fortunes for Mitesh and Manish.

Mitesh took the day night match 31 to 20.

Manish dropped Ravi Bopara and brought back family favorite Ryan Sidebottom.

Manish pulled the rabbit out of the helmet and tied the shoelaces of the Knighton Oval bottom heavy run machine to restrict them to a vegetarian 12.

"My aim was to make my bowling offensive rather than defensive," said Manish as he gave Mitesh some catching practise.

Timeless 18 balls

KPl info: The Knighton Oval have been denied a 5 game cushion.

Manish let the air out of Mitesh surge for a sensational win. Mitesh started brightly by opening his account by smashing the ball for six to the cow corner magnet.

Mitesh's mind become scrambled on the last ball as he tried to hit the ball with style rather than his bankable agricultural heaves towards cow corner.

A miscued hard flash to mid off could only yield a run.

So the game was tied at 36- 36.

There was a bowl off and both teams disappointedly drew again.

Our reporter had to leave because he had a dentist appointment. He witnessed throwing at the stumps, staring at each other, paper,stick and paper. He said they were just about to play Irish snap. He told me that his money was on Mitesh because has "more insulation."

Hear no evil

Mum Anjana has issued a unilateral diktat to Wigston Wanderers "boo boys " in the Western terrace.

"This is cricket. It is not a rock concert. Is Mitesh a rock star ? No. Exactly,"said Mum Anjana placing some extra sugar on Mitesh's jambus.

On "fancy dress" Saturday, no one will be allowed to boo Mitesh from the western stand.

She has proved that talk is not cheap. She started to police the WC fans.

She has banned Tom Regan, the trumpeter of the WC Barmy army, for calling Mitesh "honey monster" and playing out of tune.

On Tom Regan's twitter page, he announced on the eve of Round 10 match that he will not be at the Knighton Oval. He remains committed to the WC.

" Actions speak louder than words," said Manish as he placed a sound proof order for Mum Anjana's office.

Wigston Wanderers song

I am bulletproof

I' ve forgotten my box

I do it for the thrill

I hope Mittie doesn't go for the kill

I'd rather be hit on the grill

Ginger beer heat

The two opposing gladiators entered the windy and leaf swept arena with the verve and bravado of two colossus' on Jamaica Ginger beer because there was so much heat they could turn stumps into ashes!!

With the toss of the Goddess of Chance, she blessed the Wigston Wanderers who chose to fire deliveries of destiny and hate against the might of the KnightonOval.

After a period of tight foray and missed chances the Knighton Oval made a score of 25 which would have to replied by the Wigston Wanderers with blood, sweat and courage.

However, the enormity of the task resulted in them falling from grace like the angels of old, though could not replicate their grace in defeat, instead using a tact of vengeance to strike in the return battle.

Here ends the battle but not the war
6-2
