The opposition today do look marginally older, perhaps forties. We bowl first on a table top surface and feel we have done a good job in restricting them to 234. The sun is very hot and I spend quite a bit running the extra cover boundary. Steve makes two stumping off my bowling and I hang on to a hard-hit C and B.
The general consensus is that we do well to reach 199 after two outstanding innings from John Pigott (72) and Jim Basford (56)
As the total racked up, Thornie held sway over his assembled enthralled audience.
Perhaps Tuesday will produce our first win.
