Theale & Tilehurst Friendly XI vs MWE 20th May 2001

BACK

Report by Mr Ed

This was a real disappointing effort in which we failed to build on many of the positive things that we achieved the week previously against a much stronger Purley side.

Firstly, we allowed MWE to score a above-par total for the match conditions, whether this was due to an over sympathetic approach to our opponents after bowling them out for 13 in last years corresponding fixture I'm not sure, but we were certainly ponderous in the field (as were the scorers - MWE score doesn't add up). Osman Mahmood however, bowled magnificently and was almost unplayable, conceding only six runs in his eight overs.

In reply to MWE 186, we fell 77 runs short. Looking at the scorecard I note that five players got into double figures, but that none of these players went onto score more than 19. Not many matches will be won with such statistics.

Match Report: Should try harder!!
