With a total of 27 wides conceded by the 5ths only being exceeded by 1
of our batsman, you do not have to read to the bottom of this report to know how
the story ends. Indeed being the 5ths this year you probably also already know
how the story starts and middles!
Bowling first, we again got a team into some trouble (2 wickets in the
1st 2 overs) only for some dodgy fielding, inconsistent bowling and a
hard-hitting batsman to leave us chasing a large total. Again.
However, the batting is coming on, with the youth getting some time in
the middle and learning to bat the full 40 overs – Zak (32 NO) top scoring. It
should all prove valuable learning as they mature through the ranks in the years
to come.
