Another Site!?
Dan, why not just put the scorecard on the site with the pictures so it's all in one place? Just a thought ...
For any readers who don't know our score from the weekend, we were shafted by the rain after we looked to be cruising to victory. Fothergills all out for 177 after being 170-5 with 18 left! I ended with 6-42 and Big Bird 4-38. Some tremendous catches, particularly Smithy who had his best game in a TSJ shirt for my money.
Batting wise we started great, Dash and I put on 50, Bird and I were then carrying on the work until we came off for rain. That put a bit of a dampener (ho ho) on things, and when we were both dismissed in quick succession the wheels came off. Skunners and Smithy put on 50ish to get us within sight of victory but the rain meant we lost 12 overs and the end of innings slog saw us fall 10 short when under normal circumstances we could have strolled home. Perhaps a lesson here is that our tail have been very undercooked batting wise, and it was possibly unfair to expect Cliff, Craig, Dickie and the Hud to get us home when they've had little cricket.
A very disappointing 5 points dropped in a game we dominated for some periods. Credit to Fothergills, particularly their number 5 who hit a very good 80odd. The bowler (Shakir?) was quick and on the money too.
Glodwick next week and with a week of sun forecast a nice hard pitch will be a treat!
