2 in a row!!

Game 5.

One day match. A few quality players were available for the game so our side looked strong.
We lost the toss and were asked to bowl. I gave another bowler the down wind end. First over -9 runs, the first time a side has gone after us early. In my first over we dropped a high ball that should have been caught, from there it got worse, within my first 4 overs we dropped 3 catches.
The first wicket didn't fall till the 18th over, the score was 68. From there we fought back, some quick wickets fell and with a few over remaining we were looking OK. Then the advantage of wickets in hand showed as they put on 40 odd runs in the last 6 overs. Final score 6/158.

We started well, I knew we had a long batting line-up so it was a case of a few good partnerships and a couple of good scores. Our openers did the job, first wicket at 101 in the 21st over. Run rate was good, wickets held ok. One scored 66, another 47no. We passed the score in the 30th over, batted on for another 3 overs, final score 4/188, a convincing win. BTW- the opposing team dropped as many catches as we did, so if we had all held our catches it might have been a different day all together.

Next game over 2 weeks against a usually strong club, so hopefully our good form continues.
