No Wick. No Mallethead. No Mad Dog. No Mr. Balls. Just Mr. Wicket, Sticky, Lefty and Surferino for two rounds at beautiful Mar-A -Lawno where the grass was long and the ground was dry. Sporting masks and beers, players were entertained by the curated, lengthy playlist. The wind made standing in the shade chilly. But in the clear bright light of the sun, warmth suffused the players and extra layers of clothing were discarded.
Surferino won the first round killing Lefty and Sticky. Mr. Wicket completed the most original play of the day, POD, by striking the post to become poison but ricocheting through the nearby first wicket to die an untimely and unintended death. His was a never-seen-before-shot that stunned everyone; one for the history book and possibly captured by a security camera.
Mr. Wicket took the second game by killing Lefty with a macking long distance shot. Sticky and Mr. Wicket shared shot-of-the-day, SOD, honors by acing the middle wicket with a shot from between the deck and flowerbed, over the wooden step bypassing those in the way. Great strokes by skilled folks and that's no joke.
