Saturday 1st XI vs AlbamMorphics (5/05/2007 - Away)
Lost by 5 wickets

After a poor start (32/4), with the help of Matt Oliver & Jim Paine, we amassed a decent total of 185. Making early in roads in the oppos top order, and having them reeling at 0/2 of the 2nd over, you would think we were in with a shout. However, our seriously depleted bowling attack didnt have the venom to break through the top order. We dropped 5 catches which was probably the difference. However the day was not a total loss as we discovered 2 new talents, Mr Batram whom showed some excellent line and length which will undoubtedly be coming to a pitch new you! And a Mr Brown, that showed some Mark Boucher like performances behind the stumps, but more importantly getting him closer to the batsmen for sledging purposes.
