A very young and inexperienced side travelled to Nether Whitacre and lost to a more experienced side. Fielding first, a different opening attack of lightning Martin Rose and Mehmood (1 for 45) was used, followed by the Beast with best figures of 8 overs 2 for 35. Rees Murray (great spin bowling once again) 8 overs 1 for 51, Keiron Carroll an excellent spell of 5 overs for just 17 and unlucky not to claim a victim, (watch out Sean he catching you up). With Anthony Rose and Avon Turner also having a bowl, with 2 catches to W/K Alex, but we were unable to stop N.W. reaching a total of 286 on a flat wicket with tiny boundaries. Unfortunately none of the batters managed to stay in long and we could only manage 186 ao, the Beast with the only significant score 35, but people beware of Rees Murray trying to talk you through his six to the tiny five yard boundary, (walk away quickly), you have been warned. Thanks once again to the senior Roses and Turners for helping out with transport. But we will be back! |

Much like the 1st XI the 2nd XI has also lost several key players from last season, mainly due to work commitments but also as a result of players seeking new challenges. We have however been lucky in signing a quality 2nd team all rounder in Shahid Qureshi who has joined from Civil Service, and we are also hoping to sign another very promising 18 year old all rounder to bolster the side. The main aim for the season though, as it was last year, is to continue to develop the young talent already within the club. Last season a considerable number of players aged 17 and below played 2nd XI cricket on merit, and the hope is that the trend will continue this season. There are already three young players who have established themselves in the side in Shaun Carroll, Nabeel Asghar and Arun Toora, and exams permitting hopefully this number will increase as the new season progresses. Add in the virtual ever-presents from the previous few seasons Steve Evans, Abdul ‘Rimmer’ Rahim, Adam Rana and Steve Knowles and things again look promising. At the very least the 2nd XI should be able to match last seasons top half finish, but if the issue of inconsistency can be addressed then maybe sights can be set a little bit higher. Finally I would like to echo Pete Evans thanks to Dave Betty (groundsman) who has continued to do an excellent job throughout the winter to ensure that the ground looks better than ever. |
