The proprietor of the famous coaching alehouse  the Dog and Pheasant put up bunting alongside the south side of the cricket ground to celebrate VE Day and we were delighted to be at one of the most picturesque grounds in the country
 
Dan Wren,  Brook’s captain inserted us and   their bowlers, a mix of young and old, including a Zimbabian and two Pakistanis, struggled manfully against our new opening pair AOB and Immy Arbee, who previously played for both Marlow Park, whom we play, and Marlow CC.  Immy lives in Maida Vale and plays a lot of T20 Big Bash cricket and he soon showed his ABV style strokeplay, mainly high and straight.   He was caught in the deep for 46  at 76-1.
