Sun 20th V Derby
Selecting to bowl first again we had derby 82-4 after 20 overs and were looking to keep the runs down and get the remaining wickets. With some good bowling, players again reaping the rewards for bowling straight we took a couple of more wickets. However one of their senior players a regular 1st teamer came to the wicket and gave us all a lesson in intelligent batting, playing shots and working the ball around to keep the scoreboard ticking over. We must learn that when this is happening we need to think about how deep we are in the field and ensure we are attacking the ball to cut out the singles. Set the target of 178 we got off to a slow and steady start facing some tight bowling. With determination from a number of players we batted for 33.4 overs the longest we have lasted although scoring only 51. With only 8 players this was a commendable effort all round, finished off with a drink in the pub!
