Scorecard
The Helperby skipper lost the toss again and we were duly put into bat on a fairly green and damp track. The Masham opening bowlers bowled with a great deal of accuracy, along with pace and a bit of movement, which made life for our openers particularly hard! After a difficult start the middle order managed to score a few with Mark, Ryan and Joss scoring 30's. Finishing on 129 for 6 we had gained a batting point and thought with some tight bowling and fielding we had a chance.
Unfortunately the Masham opening pair, even with a lot of shots going into the air, managed to avoid our fielders and scored at a reasonable rate on a pitch that was drying out all the time. They reached our total with 10 overs to spare.
Ryan showed what he is going to be capable of with the bat, especially as conditions get more favourable, and bowled well again also. His partnership with Joss was the one that enabled us to get to the total we did in difficult conditions.
If we can apply more pressure to the opposition batsmen with more aggressive fielding and really tight bowling we will soon I'm sure see some victories in the coming games.
