Poidevin Gray Report vs Saints
A very strong PG’s side was chosen to take on the Saints.
We batted first on what looked to be an good deck but with the exception of Blair “Mr Consistent” Lindsay, our top order couldn’t get going to give us a good start.
(Blair brings up his 50 against saints)
Blair showed a great deal of respect for his wicket and the discipline required with his shot selection to score 50 until an unfortunate run out stopped his progress . We ended up making a very ordinary and disappointing 133 especially with what seems like a tremendously strong batting line up with a lot of depth.
After a short rain break we set out to defend 133. All bowlers bowled well but really were unable to create any pressure. Saints got the total 2 down and inside 40 overs to claim a bonus point.
Although this was a very disappointing loss I think we will be better for it after having a long team discussion after the game trying to fix the problem. With everyone adding a couple of comments on what is going wrong, we all agreed we have the potential to be great side if we can play with more intensity, discipline and value our wicket.
We are looking forward to taking on a very strong Wests side on the 5th January.
