Saturday's game against Old Manhattans should be a close one. We've played them twice before resulting with a draw and more recently a loss. Last year's loss against them was down to poor batting from us. Morover, Saturday's game will be competitive, such we need to take all our chances which we failed to do last year. The Manhattans had a good pace bowler from either Zimbabwe or South Africa who caused us a few problems. The first change bowler got more more wickets than he should with his slow and steady line. This is where we flushed the game down the toilet.

The Manhattans batting line up wobbled chasing a low total. Graham Pinkey hasn't bowled his 'droosra' yet so let's see if he uses it on Saturday. Last weeks performance against Morden Parish was a very solid. From a batting point of view we need to push more singles and keep the runs ticking over. Morden Parish bowled a tight line putting pressure on us which made us loose wickets at regular intervals.
