Report by Giovanni De Cappuccino (Pizza Man)

Wella, where isa do I starta. I hear thata bigga cricket match wassa on dis daya, so I starta to make a planna to watcha de game while cooking my pizza.
It tooka time to finda de namesa of de players and writea dis massage from de beautiful Hylands Park. It was a family day just like Italia, de father and
son Rai's, de Baker-Merry brothers and de Clapton brothers. 
 
Wella, Hornchurch open de batting witha de Rai's who madea a gooda start until younga Ranvir (2) playeda impatient shot (according to his papa) to Alex
Baker-Merry witha de score on 41. Rai senior (41) soon followed by chipping the balla to bowler Jack Baker-Merry. 49-2 anda de Oriento's were excited anna 
chirpy. Debutantee Finn Clapton appealed for LBW anda batter number 3, G Scott (2) wassa surprised to be given de finger. A fine spell of bowling from Finn.

A steady 49 runna partnership began to looka dangerous beforea another debutantee Tom Johnson took a fine catch offa de Walthamstow Wall. Mitch Huett (39*)
steadied de ship witha good partnerships with Norford (23), Choudhary (32) and a quicka fire 15* from Trinidad & Tobago oversee player Telemaque (15).
Skippy Ritzo anda vice skippy J B-M took wickets apiece to leave de scorea of 210 for 6.

I hearda de skippy telling his teama "If we do this, I will buy everyone a ice cream!' Whatta isa wrong witha buying everyone a pizza? Mama mia! 

De tea break is finito anda de players looka ready. 

A very sexy man (possibly Italian genes) anda A B-M open de batting witha magnifico start anda fast partnership of 62, until the sexy man Edgy Barot (27) 
cooly stepped outta de crease and was stumped. A bombardment of bouncers at a missile like speed from de West Indian Telemaque took it's tolla on A B-M, 
who did well to last for so longa, before being bowled for 37. Tom Johnson looked confidento, lasting 6 balls before being bowled for 0. Andy Hudson 
travelling from de dark side of Kent forgot it wassa 12:30 start, seeing de reminder massage at 11:40, jumped outta his bed, washed, drove the longa 
distance to de ground to get therea on time and then scorea 36 offa 30 balls, bravo! A fine partnership witha J B-M of 55.

J B-M was taking no prisoners anda thinking he wassa going to getta ice cream (already left the park 90 minito earlier) cracked on witha Skippy Ritzo for 
a 64 runna partnership to sealo the victory finishing on a individual record score of 63*, skippy Ritzo 17* and a chasing score of 214. Magnifico!

A gooda overalla team performance in de bowling, batting anda fielding anda victory for the O's.

I hopea to see you alla nexta year and dis time buy some Pizza.

Next gamea isa Hatfield Heath.

Arrivederci.
