Alright then -
We won the first of two matches on a very hot day. 3 of the Liverpool players fainted due to the heat.
Back to the cricket, it was a magnificent close match.
We scored 220-4 from our alloted 40 overs, I scored 50* from 30 odd balls (3 fours, 4 sixes - worst 50 I've ever scored, btw... was dropped twice) before I was forced to retire to give the others a go.
They started off slowly, but then capitalized big time when our younger bowlers were on - with the last ten overs to go, they needed 67 to win with 7 wickets in hands, the number 4 batsman scored a brilliant 70 odd before finally being out caught at mid-off and from there on we pulled the game back in our favour and won by a very close margin of 6 runs.
My figures were 8-1-21-1 (O-M-R-W)
Due to my all-round performance, I was awarded the MoTM award (Two in two now

)
Now the game tomorrow has been shortened to a T20 due to fitness concerns with the opposition and some of our younger players, and I have to admit that the weather was pretty unforgiving today.
Will update this after tomorrow's match, signing off for now.
