On a damp and dull day we lost the toss and Kings Heath asked us to bat first. Early conditions helped their bowlers and we lost wickets consistently. However, Tom was the only one to show any kind of resistance with a solid 60. We ended on 172-9 from 50 overs. Our bowlers were again asked to get the batters out of jail. It should not come as a surprise to anyone to hear that Nigle and Sooty between them conceded just 40 runs from 25 overs and took 3 wickets. The rest of the bowlers chipped in and took wickets regularly and eventually bowled them out for 129-10 from 46 overs. It was another good win but the batting needs to improve as we come up against better opposition. The bowlers need to take note of the number of extras that we are giving away. They will end up costs us if we can’t sort this problem out.
