It looks like relegation for Verwood following yet another defeat this time at the hands of Hordle. The pitch was very wet but the game was able to go ahead after a brief shower before the start. The visitors batted first and smacked a healthy 190 from 42 overs losing only 4 wickets, 2 of which were run outs and one of which came from a slog off the penultimate ball of the innings. We just don't look threatening as a bowling attack when there is no swing and the pitch was as dead as one of the voles our cat keeps bringing in.
The field was quiet too as heads fell all of which suggests we're in a for a period of soul searching with people putting forward lots of theories about why we are not doing as well as we could, the batting order, field positions etc when the answer is fairly simple; we aren't good enough and not enough people care about winning or losing as long they enjoy the tea.
Our turn to bat was a brief affair with the team being ousted for just 87, an innings in which I second top scored with 13!! Although I hit a six for the second week in a row, the ball I got out to was the worst ever bowled in the history of cricket. My eyes lit up and I gave it an almighty thump straight to a fielder causing much merriment for both sides as the surprised bolwer celebrated. It should still be in orbit rather than the cause of downfall.
We could do with some new players.
