Home friendly in sunny but deceptively chilly (read sub zero) temperature. This was a chance to put net practice into match play and see how things held up. Each player will hopefully have a better idea of where their game is at and where it can be improved in order to progress further.

Great captaincy from both Will and Oliver.

What I can say is that their attitude was top drawer and it was great fun. Thanks to Wilf, Chris Laker and all the parents for being there.

Note to self: don’t wear shorts in May!

NB there was a rule change this year for under 13 which is worth considering. Each bowler now bowls max 3 overs with UNLIMITED extra balls, it used to be 4 overs max 8 balls. This is positive in that more players participate in a game but it does mean we must select 7 bowlers per game who can consistently bowl 6 legitimate deliveries.....
