Result NDCS (20) v Breast Cancer Care (36)
Yep we were pretty much whooped this week!
Being 19 v 4 down after two innings did not help!
Postmortem in the Tattershall Arms after saw us all agree that it was just a bad day at the office with our batting, fielding and pitching on the whole being pretty poor!
Have to say though, there was a superb catch by MVP Allan T. (Mind you he does play in the glory position!! ;-0). Good catch too from Rob in out field.
Thanks to Gary for the half time oranges! By then we were looking like a right bunch of lemons though!
I thought a change of pitcher might change our luck, nope they still marched on and we just about got 4 runs! I also remember I think that Louise grazed her knee and needed some attention. (hope its ok?)
It was the last innings where we redeemed ourselves both fielding and batting! Some interesting pitching tactics from Adrian really caught them off guard and they only scored 9 in that innings! (they were not sure where the ball would come from, did he?) It saw a super catch from Anna too!! I think we have a new back stop / caller too in Emma who was keen to make sure any decisions that were ours went our way.
But it was in the batting where we really improved with 12 in that innings! Six coming from the IT team (George, Charles & Adrian) alone… Well done. Couple of others who shone with the bat were Allan and Kathy who also got two each.
A big thank you to those that were happy to sub during the four innings. People like Ramzan were able to be our eyes off the pitch.
Opposition
These are a good bunch players whose good mixture of big hitters and tactical fielders. As this is their first season they are doing pretty well! Wish them well for the season…
