North won the toss and batted. After an early breakthrough, North consolidated and a 100+ partnership laid the foundation to their innings. Our bowlers toiled away without luck; one or two dropped catches and some (at times) sloppy fielding - combined with good batting from North - saw them reach 2-176. As has been our pattern the last few games, unfortunately we lost wickets very early on and never recovered. Courtney Winter applied himself well but unluckily got a top edge on a pull shot. Like our first match, Patrick Bigg and Tom Ritchie steadied the innings and saw us bat out most of our 40 overs. However, we finished up over a hundred short - beaten by a better side on the day. |
