This 10 wicket mauling at the hands of Leigh was quite simply a lesson in how to bat, bowl and field. Unfortunately, we let ourselves down badly with the bat scoring an all out total of just 70 runs in one ball shy of our allotted 20 overs. An innings containing 71 dot balls from a possible 120 means that 60% of deliveries were not scored off! Such a small total made it impossible for the bowlers and fielders who, nonetheless, stuck to their job and made the Leigh batsmen work hard for their win. Back to the drawing board after this one!!
