It was a relief to get a start to winning ways in 2008 on Saturday against a weakened Livingston side. We did however struggle initially in setting a total having lost the toss. From 21 for 3 we rallied to 189 for 9 thanks to patient innings from Andy (49) and Alex (46) and some late order hitting from Wahid (26) and Davie Higgins (14). No one else who batted deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as these players. Of their bowling, Wilson and Collings were both very hard to get away with 3 for 14 and 3 for 11 from 10 overs respectively.
A good tea (supplied by Embo) was followed by persistent effort from our bowlers with Wahid finishing with 3 for 22, Higgy 2 for 30 from 10 and Andy 2 for 31 from 10. Special fielding mention for Tariq and an excellent catch at long off to dismiss a hard hitting batsman who threatened briefly.
So to the points for this week (who keeps the tally?) and Andy gets 3 for allround efforts, Wahid 2 , again for allround effort and Alex for his runs and a stumping to end the match.
So onwards to Westquarter…

A confirmed 3’s player starring in the 1’s. Obviously not as old and fat as he thinks.
Good to see the skipper continuing the website tradition of abd psellign.

Well we haven’t given the cricketing bogs of scotland the coverage they deserve yet so maybe Stevie can dig into the archives for us….
