SOUTHWELL (4) 173-4
THORESBY (0) 141
Another day and it was
still freezing, but now add in wet as well !!
We arrived to find the
covers on and a little rain, but within ten minutes the rain became very heavy
and included hail. This must have come as quite a shock to our overseas guests.
The start was then scheduled
for
After tea Ben and Callum
opened up (Ben told a tale of how he had already seen 2 openers get out first
ball at Southwell) this nearly became 3 as Callum was dropped first ball.
Whilst at the other end Ben fell second ball. Callum’s reprieve was short lived
and we were in trouble at 7-2. Hazel and Rich then put together a stand of 75,
but just as these two looked to be taking the game away from Southwell Hazel
was bowled. Rich was then given out to a very questionable catch, many people
thought it had touched the ground before the fielder got his hands to it. Nige
and Chesh then had a good stand that nearly won the game, only for both to fall
in the space of a few balls. The tail fell away quickly and defeat was snatched
from the jaws of victory.
A bit of a disapointing
result on another very poor day for cricket.
Let’s hope the weather
warms up for next weekend’s games!!!!
