Can actually class this as one that got away we had them at 121-8 with a shed load of overs left, if we had got Rob Walmsley out even earlier probably might have been in a even better position to win, however the aforementioned Walmsley was LBW to yours truly for a really good 56 BAE were actually only 64-3, got Hashmi next ball on a hat trick and 64-4 diid not get the hat trick although nearly got another the ball later.We started to whittle through them and 121-8 in clover then the wheels started to come off big time. Kavi and Vara started to put together a useful partnership with Vara feasting on some generous dross by sending three sixes over the Preston Blackpool railyway line, not as impressive as you think the wicket was pitched about 30 yards from the track, they added 81 for the 9th wicket and to say this flattened us is an understatement.
Stuart Walters bowled well for us with scant rewarded whilst yours truly rocked up with 3-32
Chasing 209 was always a tough task
Mark Luxton soon went and a few lusty blows from Ambrose Hallett gave the score a respectable look, but no one could stay with Stuart Walters who on top of his bowling scored 54 only Neil Hankey got double figueres as we fell to a 90 run defeat
Walmsley and Hashimi both took 3 wickets

Today was not a good day, playing at a school about a mile from were I live on a knackered artificial wicket, we lost the toss and stumbled our way to 93 all out a score that was about 200 short of being a respectable total, only Dave Wright with 44 and me with 16 seemed to sugeest any permanence. Wright was last out and I was out brilliantly caught by the stumper off an inside edge going down leg side. It was however mainly a procession, give them credit they bowled and fielded well on an outfield with was marked with a 100 metre runnig track, by the way it looks a massive distance, also had football markings and rabbit holes.
We didn't actually bowl to badly dropped a couple of chances however the two openers took them home to an easy win, Brown with 73 not out.
A friendly tomorrow then a week off followed by a trip to the league leaders and apparently I'm captain, what could possibly go wrong
