Morning all,

Well done the 2s on another great win yesterday.

A poor batting performance on Saturday against Dalians - if only Ash, Russ and Nick had been available we would have made a far better fist of things - too many rash shots (I count myself most culpable there) against an attack that was never overly threatening but steady. Thought we did well to keep a very strong batting side to 182 on that wicket, especially as our bowlers were severely depleted - no Ash, Bird or Osama, myself with an injury, and Scunners not having bowled that many overs all season.

There's a 7 point gap between ourselves and Robbies - let's regroup for the next 3 games, all very winnable - Fothergills, Failsworth, Elton Vale - and let's make sure we finish in third, which will represent a tremendous achievement with all the selection problems of the year.
