Wilsons v Newark

 

SNCL division D

Home– 7 June 2008

A brief summary of the game from skipper Zak Briggs.

We are struggling quite badly with the bat at the moment, following on from the week before where we bowled and fielded well but batted horribly.

Saturday we started pretty well. Tim bowled a very good spell followed by Imran Shahid and Steve Maxey bowling good spells. We kept the score down to 105 which was possibly 20 more than they should have got on a very green seaming wicket.

We started OK with the bat with Nabil and Methab putting on 29 for the first wicket but unfortunately folded to 57-6. Steve and Mark took the score on to 82 before both where out to leave us 83-8 with 5 overs remaining. Imran Shahid (10) and Gawain (12) made it look pretty easy though by scoring the required runs in 4 overs including Gawain hitting a huge 6 over mid-wicket which was probably the games turning point.

Top 6 is really suffering at the moment for confidence, but I would hope the victory will be a good turning point for us.

Boots folded the week prior to the season which is why Imran Shahid and Aaimer are back with us, that means we have 2 free weekends on the 21st and 28th June, I think we are hoping to use the ground on the 28th for a B-B-Q/ fund raising event.
