Not good enough from the FCG boys. No points and in truth I don’t think any of us could say that we actually deserved any from the game. We were lackadaisical in the field, with miss fields, dropped catches, and above all we were extremely quiet which was disappointing! It was not, however, in the field where we lost this particular game!
At 89 for 2 at the 22nd over drinks break we were looking at a significantly higher score to be chasing than the 172 for victory we were faced with! In that respect, in a purely clichéd way, we can take some positives from the game, Justin Pkr spell was as good a spell of spin bowling that I have seen from him, Bomber also bowled well in partnership with him! So from the position we were in at drinks on a very small ground, we did well to restrict Penwortham to the 171 they ended up with.
I’m gonna say that’s where it all went wrong, the batting display was as weak as I have witnessed, it appeared to be a never ending procession, well until it ended at 6! There were some poor shots, I played a shocker, it was the right shot, just extremely average execution, and on a wet pitch in the rain we continued to lose wickets and were comprehensively outplayed, fair play to Penwortham, sometimes you have to put your hands up and say we got beaten by the better team. It was more the nature of the defeat that was disappointing!
We are currently 18 points off the second bottom team with 4 games remaining, we do however play second bottom and having lost our last 3 games we need a vast improvement on Saturdays performance this week, otherwise we will be dragged into a relegation fight!
IMPROVEMENT REQUIRED!!!!!!
