V Old Edwardians

Rain!!! No Play

Ashfield V Sheldon

Having won the toss and put them in the bowlers for once had an off day but they weren’t helped as we dropped at least 7 catches. On a dry wicket Omar bowled really well and bagged five wickets. If it wasn’t for Omar at one stage they looked on course to get over 300 but in the end we were left to chase down 244.

It should have been a gettable score but again the batting failed and it was left to Nigel and Sooty to grind out a draw for us. The pair of them must have batted for more than 25 overs. When they don’t bowl well they dig in with the bat perhaps one or two others need to learn and do the same.

Ashfield V Kenilworth

Just to surprise you we won the toss and decided to bat. That was the only thing that went right for us and from there on it was all down hill.

As usual we lost wickets at stead intervals and there is not much to write home about as we were bowled out for 118 against a team that were 2nd from bottom. I can’t put my finger on it but is it lack of experience from the batters, is it over confidence or just lack of application?

Anyway they didn’t have much problems getting to the target with the loss of just 3 wickets and 6 dropped catches!
