Yodel 2015

Unfortunately the LMS Match Official went to Mossley Hill in error. Without an LMS Umpire we agreed with the opposition to have a friendly played with a mix of LMS Rules and MCC Laws that was never quite clear. Nevertheless, the game’s most controversial incident, when a Yodel Warriors player vigorously contested his dismissal after he played on yields the same result in all forms of the game.
Yodel posted a competitive total of 126. The Bar’s innings got off to a cautious start with and after 10 overs and for the loss of just Tinkler the required run rate was very much in Yodel’s favour. Harthan and Saeed seemed to be turning things round until the loss of Saeed’s wicket with around 5 overs left. Chester however continued where Saeed had left off. With only 5 required off the last over victory was looking inevitable for the Bar. However a fair summary of Harthan’s innings would be that after plucking a likely victory from the jaws of defeat, defeat was then plucked from the jaws of a seemingly inevitable victory. The Bar scored just 3 in the last over to fall just 1 run short in a nail biter which entertained the gentry of Aigburth several of whom made their way out of the bar to watch. With a more competitive approach in the re-arranged LMS league fixture I have little doubt we will have too much for the Yodel Warriors.
