With this lovely weather, i'm glad that I have recently been playing 2 games a weekend.
Saturdays game, was premier league against Wimborne. We bowled first, in the heat! Was horrible, and felt like it dragged on for ages. We had a good start, getting them 3 down for not very many. Then they had a partnership, they ended up hitting 240-5 off their 50 overs. I also missed a run out chance, which annoyed me. However I did save some runs in the field, so i'm happy with that. We then went out to bat with the pitch being very flat, we got off to a good start before we fell in bit of a heap. I came in at 7, told to just keep ticking over, although we needed around 100 off the final 11 overs, managed to get to 7 before leaving a ball that was down leg and deciding to run, took the second, and got caught short by a throw from the boundary. They went on to win by 60 ish runs.
Sundays game, we batted first this time thank god! The openers batted through the innings, and notched up 224. With my mate who has recently joined the club. Until today, he had never hit a 50, hit a 6 or hit a 100. Our openers ended up with 129* and 79*. He did all of them today, was so proud of himself. We then bowled our overs and they ended up with 110-9. Was fairly boring game, but look forward to next weeks games
And I also managed to pick up my first wicket of the season, about time!
