Amer Stars again

Having been put into bat on one of the greenest wickets we managed 146 all out in 44 overs. Having seen the first 5 overs of our innings (and we were 2 down) the bowlers felt 120 could be enough on that wicket. Amer took over in the field and finished with figures of 18-7 to bowl them out for 45.

Mohammed Lets His Bat Do The Talking

A shy Mohammed Azam hit a superb hundred to set up a winning draw. As we all know Mo does not often say much and is a reserved character (not) but on this occasion his bat cracked a few jokes at the expensive of Bronze. Well batted Sir the school kids will be proud of you!
Small note : 12 dropped catches!

Amer Stars Against Southam

An inspired bowling display from Amer gave us a much needed win. Having been rested by the 1st XI may be he had a point to prove and took 57-9 for the sake of the 2nd XI lets hope the 1st team captain is not reading this!

Grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory

Having bowled out Blossomfield for 141 we were 82-2 and fell to 125 all out. The least said the better. Batsmen lack real responsibility.
