If you thought a 120kmph in-swinger that knocked over all three pegs was a nice rock, you’d be wrong – according to departing Sedgewood Willow-biters C Grader Tim Bishop.

Labelled “Nudes” as a nod to his gentle off-breaks, Bishop informed the next in batsman that the oppositions strike bowler had “nothing” and the ball that dismissed him “didn’t do much”, as he trudged off the field.

“I just played all around one” the disappointed number nine told his teammates, as his luckless run with the bat now extends to twelve innings without a run.

“I thought he’d really hoop it (the ball) because it was a little overcast, humid, and perfect seamers conditions… but he’s pretty pedestrian”.

Dunstville Long-handlers new ball specialist Jamie Manchild admitted to being “surprised” at Nudes summation, adding that he was "making the ball talk".

“I'll give the old fossil some chin music in their second dig then, see how he likes that”.

Manchild ended the day with figures of 8 for three from six overs.

The Willow Biters and Long-handlers resume day two 11am Saturday at the Handler’s Postage Stamp oval.

Spectators are urged to arrive early as a comfortable second innings outright win is expected before drinks.
