Well chaps,,,
A loss of 5 runs when she looked to be pretty much in the bag, but we can take a bit of heart from the game.
For one, as with last week, they seemed to get away with nudging it around - not many back nets - whereas we tended to believe that knocking it out of the park was a good idea.
But credit to Paul and Simon, and Callum and Steve for grafting away to get us back in it after the start Dave and I had made. Dave - we were in business there until the last over, but a good return for you.
Also on the subject of Dave - a marvellous diving catch and a great second over - not bad for someone who has been off the pitch awhile - well done.
Steve as ever rock solid behind the stumps, getting a couple of great stumpings (Ricky was bagging me about this). I think a couple of catches were made in one of your overs and a DEFINITE, INDISPUTABLE stumping in the last over (that guy was never going to make it back...). I think Greg snatched a catch and you got a caught and bowled as well.
Callum - excellent again at the back with a couple of crucial catches off Simon's bowling.
Also on the subject of Ricky - I got a bit confused at times regarding the whole balls in an over thing - I suspect that this wasn't picked up until late in the match, but we should have had it in the bag by then. Ah well.
Simon - an excellent second over that got us right back in the match.
I haven't seen the stats yet, but I certainly know I had two extras in the first over and no wickets - so apologies for not making my targets (hopefully I can scalp a couple of Simon's wickets by the law of averages!).
All in all it was a much better performance than last week chaps, so we can take a bit of heart from that one. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of Chan's pom poms however...

Well done to Damon for letting me add the comments in directly to the site...
Excellent work all round on the site Damo - for a hobby project it is all good!!!

Ah sod it. I had an 8 paragraph rant all typed up and my login must have expired in the interim so when I tried to post it the page asked me to login.
Cliff's notes: Bowled ok, batted ok, sod it.
Moral of the story: Work the sidenets if you're chasing 20 off 28, and bowl a few less extras (We gave them 38, they gave us 24).
