\"\"Am 10. August marschierten zw\u00f6lf Treptower Knockers trotz der fr\u00fch-morgendlichen Anfahrt in bester Stimmung aus Berlin zum THCC Oval nach Hamburg. Kundige wissen, da\u00df sie hart f\u00fcr dieses Ziel gearbeitet hatten. Aber dazu sp\u00e4ter mehr. Es war das 3. Mark Richardson Memorial Match, das zu Ehren seines Beitrags zu unserem geliebten Sport und zur Spendensammlung f\u00fcr das Emmaus Hospiz in Blankenese gespielt wurde, wo Mark in seinen letzten Wochen gepflegt wurde. Hier nahm er Ausz\u00fcge aus Bill Brysons Buch \u201eDown Under \u2013 Reisen in einem sonnenverbrannten Land\u201c auf, die beim j\u00e4hrlichen Pilgrims Dinner 2022 zu h\u00f6ren waren. So viel zum Hintergrund.<\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>\"\"Die Erdinger Biere wurden in Moritz‘ Fata Morgana-K\u00fchlschr\u00e4nken, die es in Wirklichkeit gar nicht gab, perfekt gek\u00fchlt, eine Soundanlage war in der Erwartung gekauft und aufgebaut worden, da\u00df der ber\u00fchmte Urdu-Dichter Ustad Andhi Thimm einen Gastauftritt haben w\u00fcrde, und Anja Richardson sich der Veranstaltung anschlie\u00dfen w\u00fcrde. Die Knockers kamen mit einem Atemalkoholwert von 0,3 Promille an, w\u00e4hrend die dezimierten Pilgrims noch sch\u00fcchtern wirkten. Oh ja, wir haben auch Cricket gespielt. Alle Knockers gingen an den Schlag, au\u00dfer Captain Billy, der sein Talent bedeckt h\u00e4lt, und erzielten 184 f\u00fcr 5 bei stabilen 0,8 Promille. Vielen Dank an Keshav f\u00fcr seinen Einsatz als Keeper und die Hilfe beim Aufstellen des Feldes. Die Wickets wurden vom Maharishi selbst genommen, gefolgt von Luke und Keith und abgeschlossen von J\u00f6rg und Dev.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"Um zu verhindern, da\u00df die Punktzahl zu hoch stieg, wechselten die Pilgrims vom Elektrolyt Alkoholfrei zum echten Zeug, nur um sich nach 12 Overs auf erb\u00e4rmlichen 34 f\u00fcr 7 wiederzufinden. Da erscheint Pilgrim Nr. 10, Maharishi As.Win, mit konstant ausgeglichenen 0,0 Promille, stumpft er den Knockers-Bowling-Angriff ab, bis die Zeit abgelaufen ist und sich die Teams mit einem ehrenvollen Unentschieden zufrieden geben, mit den Pilgrims auf 67 f\u00fcr 9. Er war buchst\u00e4blich der letzte (n\u00fcchterne) Mann, der noch stand. Ein gro\u00dfes Lob geht an Tom, der sich am Morgen hervorgetan hat, bevor er im Scorebook gl\u00e4nzte und uns daran erinnerte, da\u00df Lehrer vielleicht doch einen angeborenen Sinn f\u00fcr Humor haben.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"Als der Abend n\u00e4herr\u00fcckte, feuerte Simon seinen ber\u00fchmten Grill an, der am Schlagk\u00e4fig aufgeh\u00e4ngt war und alle Spieler und G\u00e4ste versorgte. Anja zauberte freundlicherweise das fehlende Geschirr und Besteck herbei. Es h\u00e4tte nicht besser laufen k\u00f6nnen \u2013 und dank der gemeinsamen Anstrengungen aller kann sich das Emmaus Hospiz auf eine betr\u00e4chtliche Spende in H\u00f6he von 1.150 \u20ac f\u00fcr die Fortsetzung seiner selbstlosen Arbeit freuen. Moritz dankte allen f\u00fcr ihren individuellen Beitrag zu der Veranstaltung, insbesondere Dev f\u00fcr seinen unsch\u00e4tzbaren Einsatz, aber auch den G\u00e4sten f\u00fcr ihr Kommen und ihre zunehmend gute Laune.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"Die Pilgrims werden in K\u00fcrze mit dem Bericht ihres Spiels gegen die Bavarian All Stars 2025 zur\u00fcck sein, bevor sie sich auf den Weg nach Down Under machen, um dort die Saison spannend zu Ende zu bringen.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"On the 10th of August 12 Treptower Knockers trudged in from Berlin to the THCC Oval in Hamburg in highest spirits, despite the early morning commute. Knowledgeable followers will know that they had worked hard to achieve this goal. But more on this later. It was the 3rd Mark Richardson Memorial Match being played in celebration of his contribution to our beloved sport and to raise funds for the Emmaus Hospice in Blankenese where Mark was cared for during his final weeks. It was here that he recorded excerpts from Bill Bryson\u00b4s book \u201eDown Under \u2013 Travels in a Sunburned Country\u201c to be enjoyed at the annual Pilgrims Dinner 2022. So much to the background.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"The Erdinger beers were cooled to perfection thanks to Moritz hallucinating fridges where there actually were none, a sound system had been bought and set up in expectation that the famous Urdu poet Ustad Andhi Thimm would make his guest appearance and Anja Richardson joining the proceedings. The Knockers arrived with the breath analyser showing 0.3 per mille while the decimated Pilgrims still looked shy. Oh yes, we did play some cricket. All the Knockers batted except Captain Billy who has kept his talent shrouded in mystery and scored 184 for 5 at a stable 0.8 per mille. Thanks to Keshav for keeping and helping in setting the field. Wickets were taken by the Maharishi himself, followed by Luke and Keith and finished by J\u00f6rg and Dev.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"Not wanting to let the scoring rate climb too high the Pilgrims switched from the electrolyte Alkoholfrei to the real stuff only to find themselves stuttering at a pathetic 34 for 7 after 12 overs. In swaggers Pilgrim no. 10, Maharishi As.Win, with a continuously level-headed 0.0 per mille and blunts the Knockers bowling attack until time is called and the teams settle for an honourable draw with the Pilgrims at 67 for 9. He was literally the Last (sober) Man Standing. A big shout goes out to Tom who excelled during the morning set up before shining in the score book and reminding us that teachers may have a built-in sense of humour.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"As the evening drew near Simon fired up his famous barbeque, suspended from the batting cage, which provided for all players and guests. Anja kindly conjured up the missing crockery and cutlery. Things couldn`t have been better \u2013 and thanks to the combined effort from all the Emmaus Hospice cann look forward to a considerable donation of \u20ac 1,150.- to continue with their selfless service. Moritz thanked everyone for their individual contributions to the event, particularly Dev for his invaluable efforts, but also the guest for turning up and getting merry.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"The Pilgrims will be back shortly with the report of their match against the Bavarian All Stars 2025 before they head Down Under for an exciting finish to the season.<\/p>\r\n
