Team: Lewis (capt), Crowe, Onions, Wood, Moira Stewart, Tewkes, Peach, Atko, Milstead, Skym, Stipetic
B’s 189 in 30 overs
Londesborough 193 in 27.1 overs
A fairly farcical game to open tour with. B’s batting was interesting, lewis out to a sharp c&b, crowe, grant, gray and skym were all bowled for not much. Atko smacked his usual 50 then some more at the end to finish on an unbeaten 87. Woody was dropped four times before his streaky innings of 11 was ended early. Kirk and stipetic contributed 44 and 29 respectively to give the rest of the innings a modicum of respectability.
Powick and Hind replaced Atko and Skym for our fielding, and the less said about it the better. Overthrows, no balls and A LOT of wides coupled with some agricultural batting meant that we were pretty comprehensively beaten. Highlights included 3 wickets for the crowe and some good work behind the stumps from woody.
I think the mega carvery was to blame, hopefully staying away from such gluttony before matches will mean better results!

What do you mean the less said about the fielding? I believe Mr. Hind took 2 catches!!! Maybe it was just your fielding which was sub-par

It should also be pointed out that if we hadn’t let their 1st batsmen bat twice we would have won!
