Match Report

Result: Report: Cryptics won the toss and confidently elected to bat. A confident and firm start saw the openers put on 64 before the first wicket fell. Rob Hastings batted well to score 105 off 99 balls with 13 fours and 1 six. Stragglers bowled tirelessly and credit should be given to Mark Hunt and Tony Alderton in particular. The declaration came after 53 overs.

Stragglers never really got near the asking rate, which was 6 an over. We received just 21 overs prior to the countdown from 20. With wickets falling regularly we crept along with Jamie Edwards forming the backbone of the innings with 50 off 68 balls. Jamie and Mark Hunt put up a valiant stand only for us to lose our remaining 2 wickets in the last 3 balls of the game. Cryptics bowled better than us and Andrews was excellent however we shouldn’t have let the draw slip away and we probably should have had more overs to calm the nerves.

Nevertheless a great day and we were well looked after as always.
