The scorebook seemed to be missing earlier hence no proper report but basically this happened. Gough and Jamie opened with Jamie out to his first ball and second of the innings when he edged one and was given out LBW. He was not a happy camper and called Kim a ******* **** **** ***** **** etc etc when he came off. This was probably the most notable thing of the game.

Gough hit 30 till he was stumped off their wicky and James in similar fashion after a good knock. Smitts also played well till caught at short extra and Paul played some great shots till he ran himself out. Kim also played well till being caught in the deep. Andy Hood finished on 9 not out and managed to run out the skipper who didn't face a ball. In the end I think we scored 111 though I could be wrong.

We wondered last year what their batting was like after number 4 and we found out…though they didn't have their superstar and the other guy with the fantastic eye… They had two good bats. The one guy could hit it hard, very hard and straight and the keeper who was there at the end protecting his average… Other than that they struggled against for our bowling (and pitch). Paul and Tesh opened and I think L+G were on about 39 after 10 with at least two down. It was all over that early as L+G didn't manage to increase the run rate and the last 10 overs were not that exciting to be honest.

Smitts took a great catch and almost another which would have been top draw. James was our best fielder and all the bowlers took wickets. Paul, Tesh , Andy , Matt and Kim who Jamie must have forgiven as he took a catch for him.

We wondered if the game would finish as the thunder started when we were still batting but we were lucky and it only started raining after we had finished. Not sure how many they got but I would guess 60 for 8 wickets? That's a guess but it must be close. Anyway the Casz won again and much like last Wednesday in a most comfortable way.
