'Pockett, Pockett.  Overs and out' 

Another huge knock from Cranham skipper Alex Pockett alowed his side to post a 
massive 252-1 as Frocester will look back on the numerours chances they gave the 
Cranham batsmen.  Earlier, Ben Pockett looked set record a century himself before 
he miscued to the willing mid-off fielder for an expansive 80 containing some 
sublime cuts and pulls.  

Matt Smith cracked a rapid 47* to support Alex Pockett but found himself unable 
to get the skipper on strike in the final over to record what would have been 
back-to-back centuries.  An excellent knock nonetheless as the skipper found 
himself stranded agonisingly on 99 not out.

Frocester were never in the hunt and folded for 98 thanks to superb figures of 
12-9-10-4 from the ever consistent Charlie Overs, 4-56 from Cranham 
jug-avoider-in-chief Steve Walden and some sharp catches from the Cranham 
outfielders Jeremy Strickland pouching two beauties at mid-off.  Not all Cranham
fielders had the same luck however as Buzz Pockett wore one at short mid-on 
requiring a visit Stroud General.  Thankfully only a couple of stiches and not
as bad the the hareem of female first-aiders the old devil had swarming around
him might have suggested.

Another big win for Cranham who are building up head of steam in preparation 
for the clash with Eastcombe next Saturday.  Before then Cranham make the trip
to table-propping Uley.
