So we sat a place above the drop zone playing the team below us, with Robertsbridge already relegated, it was a fight for survival.
Skipper did his 1, 2, 3s with our form at home which turned out we've been pretty good at home and the away form was our downfall. So we were high in confidence before we started.
Having played the oppo a few times over the past 2/3 years, int he league and cup we knew we restrict them and chase it down. So when we won the toss we bowled.
We struggled early on and they were going at 7s, a change of bowling typically changed our luck and we took 3 quickly.
I came on to bowl and after bowling a tight spell of seam up last week skipper asked me to see how the leg spin goes.. I've been trying hard in the nets and tweaked a few things especially my run up which became alot straighter and ive bowled my best spell ever.
Took 2 wickets should have been 4 but our keeper cant look up apparently 🙈
They ended up 185-7. Giving us 7 points and leaving us needing 7 to stay up which worked out to be 180 runs.
We started of shakey with our trusty opener falling for just 4. But our other openiler who doesnt play alot fell scoring 50 not long after our number 3 scored only 11. 80odd-3 and number 4 started with a slap off a full toss for 4. 4th wicket worth 80 runs as our number 5 fell bottling a 50 leaving the number 4 on 45 and number 6 to finish it off.
We survived!!! And the party started!
