Great game with a close, exciting finish.
Herb lost the toss and they put us in, although we would have batted anyway as it looked like rain!
A great start by James (8) and George (6) was ably supported by William (5) with some really nice off-drives.
Jack (18) hit the only two 4s of our innings and he took the bowling apart at the end with support from Herbie (9).
We posted 270 which the coach thought would be enough and our early fielding and bowling certainly backed this up with a run out and a great catch by Ed Challis pegging Knaresborough's reply back. The last pair needed an unlikely 28 off the last 4 overs to win, but some big hitting by James (17) and support by Willem got them home with 2 balls to spare.
A great team effort lads, particularly with the batting. There was only 1 run out this week and the calling/judgement of a run was definitely improved.
We bowled 8 more wides than they did (=16 runs!).
Bowling practice Friday then... !
