They had 3 dropouts, so only 8 appeared! We lent two fielders DP won toss...no brainer, very dry and warm Lovely hot day with a breeze
JG slapped one to point, Grant nearly caught 1st ball but looked good Din bowled well - always a threat Shahed (38) played very well Then a bit of a collapse Rescued by 76 run stand for 8th wicket by wily Riaz (29( and debutant Rob (42*) 1st 4 royals bowlers v good, then fairly poor One v good off-spinner V slow over rate!
Great tea by Andy Orme - something for everyone. Journeyman tea. Prawn sandwiches + sauce, crusts removed, ham and piccalilli. 1st proper tea from Andy ever I believe! Chocolate biscuits Good quantity
Their top 3-4 batsmen all v aggressive...posed some problems Andy Orme got two - one bowled and one a very smart catch by Vinay at gully Vishal was a threat Joe hit for two 6s in first over Riaz and Joe restored calm Rob bowled a great debut over!
All done by 6pm
