Sounds a bit like us, played a team 3 divisions higher. We fielded first and they racked up 270 all out off 45. We were over the moon to get them all out and if our catching was better we could have restricted them to sub 200, must have put down their opener 4 times who went on to get a ton.
Their opening bowlers were very tight so there was never a chance of keeping up with the RRR. In the end we got 170-7. Didn't disgrace ourselves and, maybe on another day, we could have run them very close. 1 wicket for plenty with the ball and 30* with the bat. Encouraging.
Sounds like our game at the weekend, played a team in the div above us (they got relegated from the top div last year we got promoted so a sizable gap in reality) they racked up 305-8 off 40, we dropped there opener 3 times he went on to get 159 (112), i put him down twice stood up to a seamer once on 15 ish and once in the 70s (im very part time keeper and it was my 4th game ever doing it)
we then got to 180-8 off 40
really good experience and shows how far we need to progress to get to that level and its still just nice to be playing cricket again
on a saturday we're won one lost one and one rained off
Sunday lost 2 out of 2 but its been good fun,
personally im having a shocking season averaging 3.33333333 with the bat and wicketless from 11 overs with the ball
