At 7am it was raining but it quickly stopped. By 9am we had sunshine and clouds and got off to a promptish start at 9:15.  There was one very light shower but no stoppage of play.  The spectators were suitably nourished by teas, cakes, beers and hog roast.   There were a few umpiring moments but no ball tampering only several lost ones.  Why do players occasionally have such a different 'video recording' of the last ball compared to the umpires?    There was an interesting failure to read the competition rules by two teams. They had some points transferred to the opposition for using the same opening batsmen in more than one group matches.  Each team had to use six batsmen to open their three games.   THE PLAN As always the Cheriton 6's on Bank Holiday Monday, takes place as part of the four-day Cheriton Cricket, Beer and Balloon Festival. Cheriton CC are playing the IIXth men on Saturday afternoon and Winchester College Staff on Sunday.    Thank you again to the Flower Pots Inn for their support for the Sixes.  There will be many real ales available and bands will be playing throughout the weekend starting on Friday!    The Sixes starts at 09:10 on Monday with Compton and Chandlers Ford playing Witness the Fitness. There are twelve interlaced games for the eight teams to decide the winners and runners up of two leagues. The semi- finals commence at 17:15.  The day ends with the final starting at 18:40 followed by the presentations.   The current champions are Tichborne Park.     Again this year there is a BBQ/Hog Roast provided for all players and of course also for supporters and spectators.  There is a Beer Tent (to save you the walk across the Pots) and tea and cakes will be served in the clubhouse at various times during the day.  For families with young children, please note that there is a playground on site and that there is nearly continuous cricket!  Please keep an eye on your children, so that they do not interfere with play or endanger themselves.    Click for more information on Cheriton Cricket Club ^^0;"

No substitutes are allowed during any match for any circumstance.  Therefore should a player leave the field that team plays on one man short.  Should a player leave the field injured either during an unfinished over or before he has bowled, the two batsmen at the crease will choose which of the fielding side shall bowl to complete the innings.  3        Playing Schedule – The 8 teams will be divided into two groups of 4, with each team playing 3 games in a round-robin league against each of the other teams in that group.  The match schedule will be published in advance, with no toss in group games, only in the semi-finals and final.  If weather conditions allow then semi-finals may be played between the top team in each group playing the runner- up in the other group with the semi-final winners contesting the final.  [see Rule 11 Bad Light/Wet Weather.]  In the event of two teams in the same group finishing level on points the winner of the match between those two teams in the group stage shall be placed ahead of the other. If that match ended in a tie the team that scored the most runs per balls faced in their group 3 matches shall be placed ahead of the other, if still tied then the ranking will be determined by the toss of a coin.  If competing, the two finalists from the previous years’ competition shall be seeded apart in the draw for groups in the following year.  The competition winners shall qualify for automatic invitation to the competition the following year [subject to Rule 13]. 4        Duration of Matches – Each match shall be played over one innings per team, with each innings being of a maximum of five 6 ball overs [see Rule 7 Wides and No- Balls].  Each member of the fielding team will bowl one over except the wicket keeper[see Rule 2].  A match will be completed when the side batting second either scores more runs than their opponents, are bowled out by losing all 5 wickets [note last man does notbat on], or fail to reach their target in the 5 overs. 5        Points Structure – The winning team in each match shall be awarded 3 points, with 1 point to each team in the event of a tie [this being if the scores are level at the completion of the two innings, with number of wickets lost ignored] and 0 points to the losers.  In addition, there are also 6 Bonus Points to be competed for through batting and bowling performances in each match as follows:    6          Batting Restrictions and Retirements – In each of the 3 group matches teams must field a different opening batting partnership ie no player can open the batting more than once in a group game.  When a batsman reaches a score of 25 or more runs he will retire not out and be replaced by a team mate as if a wicket had fallen.  The retired batsman may resume his innings if and only when all other wickets have gone down.  In the event that more than one batsman retires not out then they will resume their innings in the order that they retired. Only those runs scored from the bat from a no-ball will be counted to the batsman. markings on the crease shall be called wide. A no-ball shall be called for a short-pitched delivery that passes the batsman above shoulder height and for a full-toss that reaches the batsman at the popping crease above waist height, whatever the speed of the bowling.  Bowlers shall be restricted to a maximum run- up of approximately 10 yards [as shown by markings on the ground] and a no- ball shall be called when this is not adhered to. 7          Wides and No-Balls – Wides and no-balls shall count as 3 extras, in addition to other runs or extras scored from that ball.  For example a bye run from a ball called wide will count as 4, while a boundary hit from a no-ball counts as 4 to the batsman, plus 3 extras, totalling 7.  However, following a wide or no-ball there will not be an additional ball bowled in that over except in the final over of the innings.  For the leg side, a ball passing outside leg stump and behind the batsman, without touching the bat or any part of the batsman or his equipment, shall be called wide; and for the off side a ball passing outside of the additional guide markings on the crease shall be called wide. A no-ball shall be called for a short- pitched delivery that passes the batsman above shoulder height and for a full-toss that reaches the batsman at the popping crease above waist height, whatever the speed of the bowling.  Bowlers shall be restricted to a maximum run-up of approximately 10 yards [as shown by markings on the ground] and a no-ball shall be called when this is not adhered to. 8        Fielding Restrictions – In overs 1 to 4 inclusive, one fielder, in addition to the bowler and wicket keeper, must be positioned within the designated in field zone when each ball is bowled.  In the 5th over of an innings this restriction is increased to two fielders [NB – final over if match schedule amended – see Rule 11].  A no ball shall be called if this is not adhered to. 9        Coloured Clothing – Each team must play in coloured shirts ie non-white, to help spectators identify teams and these should be single blocks of colour ie no stripes/patterns.  Team colours need to be registered with the Competition Organiser to avoid clashes and will be allocated on a first come first served principle. 10      Fair Play – In order to ensure that the competition is completed on time and in the right spirit, particular attention shall be paid by the Umpires and Captains to the Code of Conduct of players, prompt starting times, and the penalising of wide and dangerous bowling.  Any team not ready to take the field according to the playing schedule shall forfeit all bonus points in that match. 11      Bad Light/Wet Weather – If the competition is cancelled before a ball is bowled a refund of 50% will be paid.  If the competition is required to start late or in the opinion of the Competition Organiser the competition is likely to finish in poor light then the Competition Organiser will confirm an amended playing schedule with team Captains, taking account of the following: a]       a late start, interruption during the day of more than 30 minutes, or the expectation of poor evening light will first lead to cancellation of the semi- finals                    b]  further delays caused by the weather will result in matches being reduced to 4 overs per side and then 3 overs until the playing schedule is resumed on time [NB – bonus points adjusted] 12      Competition Trophy – The competition trophy will be engraved with the name of the winning team and will remain on display in the Flower Pots Inn.  The winners and runners-up will receive individual and team prizes. 13      Entrance Fee – Entry shall be by invitation and payment of the entrance fee of £60.00 per team. Cheques must be made out to Cheriton Cricket Club, and sent to Philip Housden, 8 Greys Farm Close, Cheriton, Alresford, Hampshire SO24 0EU, before 31 July to secure a place in the competition. If the full payment has not been received by the due date, the Competition Organisers may withdraw the offer of participation and invite team[s] on the waiting list to take up any places that have not been secured with the full payment. 14      Unforeseen Events – In the event of issues arising not covered by these Competition Rules the Competition Organiser shall be the sole arbiter.  Proposals for rule amendments may be made by any participating Club for inclusion in the following year’s Competition Rules.   ^^0;"

Cheriton beat Tichborne Park earlier.  There have been some huge sixes.  Many attempts at run outs, stumpings and catches have been messed up on the first ball of the innings. I can't commentate, play the team tunes and do a match report all at the same time. So I have given up until later with the match report.  The Match Report for the Hampshire Chronicle 1462 for 73 off 143 overs, with 98 4s and 24 6s!!  the Final decided off the last ball for the third time in four years!  The 13th Cheriton 6s again provided exciting non-stop cricket on Bank Holiday Monday.  After 15 matches, and over 10 hours action it was hosts Cheriton who reclaimed the Trophy for the first time since 1998 with victory over local rivals and holders Tichborne Park.    In the highly competitive group stages 7 of 12 matches went to the last ball!  In the Green Group Fair Oak topped the group after wins against Compton & CF, last years runners-up by 5 runs and Westbourne by 4 wickets.  They were joined by Berkshire outfit Shinfield who having beaten Fair Oak by 2 runs and Westbourne off the penultimate ball early in the day were themselves beaten by Compton to end up second on bonus points.    In the Gold Group Cheriton and Tichborne Park played out a tight group game with the hosts edging it by 8 runs and each brushed aside the challenge of newcomers Steep and The Wild Things to take their places in the final four.  In the semis, Shinfield’s 56 for 1 was not enough to beat Cheriton, ending the Berkshire club’s campaign, while Tichborne cruised past Fair Oak’s 27 all out with an over to spare.    The scene was then set for a high quality final with a ‘local derby’ flavour, and the two teams did not disappoint the large crowd, who also enjoyed the Flower Pots Inn Beer Festival, hog roast and other refreshments throughout the day.  Batting first Cheriton made 48 for 3 off their 5 overs with Andy Goff top scoring with 25 not out.  In reply only Tom Allam got going with the bat in the Park’s reply, but his 27 not out was not enough and Cheriton had done enough, winning by 5 runs to bring the cup back home!        The Complete Property Best Batsman Award was won by Andy Goff of Cheriton; the Windwards Bananas Best Bowler Award went to Gary Sharma of Fair Oak; the Cheriton Computers Catch of the Day was won by Derek Manning the Fair Oak skipper for holding onto a boundary one-hander up the hill; Tim Marcon of Shinfield won the Wilds Sports Biggest 6 and Zaheer Ahmed of Shinfield won the Knight Frank Champagne Moment for his sportsmanship when out-foxed by the slowest of slow balls!
