Clarke did great with the bat to score 81 and to be fair to him he did still take 4 catches despite the drops.

Topmen won by 14 runs

Sadly, it just wasn't our day today. I'm going to be keeping a very close eye on Whitehead from now on as the way he's been performing with the bat just isn't good enough. With an average of 27, at the age of 28, he really needs to be showing me that he can up that average; it's only really his captaincy that is keeping others out of the batting line-up and it may be time to say enough is enough and replace him with a young captain.

The batting went quite well but the bowling was a bit underwhelming. Ames got a rapid 39 and Obuya 37 as we set them 139 to win. We only took 4 wickets but we just about stopped them from reaching a winning total.

Not really surprising as we picked a team full of younger seniors for rest and experience purposes.

We aren't defending that!

Poor batting meant we only had 112 to defend. We struggled to take wickets so it was a very one-sided game. It's looking like it's going to be a relegation battle in T20 this season.

Yeah was quite surprised given how close the ratings were. McKeown now has 11 wickets in 3 matches, probably made the difference here

64-5 to finish 112-5 was a decent effort by your lower-mid order. but damage had probably been done. still was pleased how easy we made the chase look, saved some batters which is helpful for fatigue too. Bye next week against Zippy - with only 1 other relegation spot up for grabs I reckon you should be okay, but T20 is pretty random!

All the best to you both for the rest of the season :thumbsup

We were chasing 157 to win on a crumbling pitch and we were doing it quite easily at 133-4 with 24 runs needed. Despite having some good batting down the order we collapsed a bit to 154-9 before we finally finished things off.

End of over 45 (8 runs) - Inchigeela Angels(277-7) RR 6.16

We bowled first on a flat pitch against Inchigeela Angels and I can't say I'm convinced my batters are going to chase this let alone the final total. Moses has been particularly expensive although I'll take some of the blame for that with some attacking bowling in those 10 overs.
