3rd game of the season, finally saw our first win of the season! The side we played against had also lost their first two games, so this was a huge game, and one we had to win!
I did make quite a few changes, in search of the winning formula.
This was the side
1.B.Hunt (wk)
2.M.Edwards
3.Andy (CF) (c)
4.N.Sharp
5.S.Poskitt
6.M.Lewis
7.G.Welch
8.P.Terry
9.J.Pearn
10.N.Fuller
11.T.Lovejoy
I made quite a few changes. Pearn and Lovejoy made their first appearances of the season, Welch returned to the side, to offer more batting at number 7...spin bowling all-rounder Lewis, came in to the side, Poskitt, Sharp and Hunt all went up the order, as i searched for the right batting order.
We posted 195-9 from our 50 overs. Kent and Edwards got off to a good start, with Edwards going onto make a half century as i called him up from our 2nd's and made an immediate impact. I came in at no3 and made 30, looked in decent touch but got out trying to force the pace. Small contributions followed, but overrall was dissapointed with only posting 195-9.
In the chase Fuller, bowled an unplayable opening spell, bowling 10 overs on the reel, only conceding, 9 runs, bowling an immaculate line and length. Lovejoy returned from injury and got a wicket in his opening spell, and we had made a good containing start. Sharp took 4-33, Lewis took 1-39, and in a bold move, my keeper Kent also bowls handy off-breaks, and with the pitch breaking up, i chucked the gloves to Edwareds who keeps in the 2nd's, and gave Kent the ball. He returned figures of 2-28 from 7 overs, and spin ran through their batting line up as we bowled them out for 159, to post our first victory of the seasob!
