SONGS OF PRAISE FROM MURTAGH'S MOUND-PART 1 

BY BARMY KEV AND BEEFY 

 Middx v SSS.  30/10

 BK and Beefy went into game with attitude of enjoy regardless of result, be grateful for privilege of being here and get behind team. 

Every Middx fielder who took position by us in Murtagh's Mound would be roundly applauded and asked to give us a wave. 1st over, again Dial M gets a wicket. A massive “Super Tim" chant followed from his mount Richo first fielder to take position.  " There's Only One Richo, There's  Only One Richo" was acknowledged. “Sick Note, Sick Note" wasn't. 

Then the next fielder walking facing us was greeted by "Joycie Joycie Give us a Wave" , to which he turned round and pointed to Malan on back.    We retorted " R U Joycie in disguise". The full range of Hendo chants were ignored.

 Straussie then took the chance of fielding our way.    " Straussie give us a catch Straussie Straussie give us a catch."  And ball was hit high towards him in air for ages.  Caught. Mass ecstasy. 

New recruits to Mount  were some American kids clearly  recruited by Stanford.  We were unsure if they were chanting S S S  or Six Six Six or were confused Middx recruits.  Our polite chants for clarification were unsuccessful.   My first effort of chant at them had an inference that would get this site closed down if mentioned here.   A more reasonable effort was " Ur supposed to be at school". or "Ur closing on your bedtime " and  Jordan then sang on his own an Americanism " I can drive a transit"  (Jordan on return from travels a further explanation required.!)  At this stage Posh Margaret was helping kids with their Playdo.    " She's only ear 4 the Playdo, ear for the Playdo"

 Meanwhile every dot ball recognised and as SSS piling on more runs and after 3 successive sixes we were cheering any non boundary ball. Our reply gave early impression of certain defeat.  So what was Murtagh's Mound response?  Nonstop  "Middle Middle Middle '  with locals responding " No Sex Tonight"..  The rare boundary acknowledged ecstatically the singles even more so.   As the end was nigh Greg took flag round ground with Barmy Kev -continuing the " Middles". 2 wickets fell with back to play.  Sprinted back with flag to catch the final wicket Richo clean bowled.  Final chant of " Super Tim,   I asked Posh Margaret what she thought  to which she responded " I enjoyed the Playdo"           .

Part 2 could Barmy Kev., detach himself from Middlesex and concentrate on England form Murtagh’s Mount in the big buck game?.  More to follow  next week.
