Playing on an absolute belter of a deck, best I have played on on our oval in the 8 years I have played on it
I won the toss and chucked them in, to try and set up up for a chase on the final afternoon. At the end of 60 overs they declared at 289/8. We dropped a bloke on 18, he made 106, costly. Opener made 94 as well. Was bloody hot, and our bowling attack was light, so I had to bowl plenty of overs, took 2/77 from 19 but bowled better than that
In reply, we lost 1 opener early and I thought here we go again as our lineup was pretty light this week, but the other opener made 66 and the 3 made 49 to get us underway well, a slight collpase to about 140/4 when I came in but we steadied again before stumps to be 202/5 from 50 overs, looking to try and knock off the 88 for 1st innings next week inside 10 overs to keep our bonus points. I am 35 not out, the boys bagging me for hitting the 2nd last ball of the day for 6, but it was there to go so it was sent
