Opening day blues for glens 3X1

Captain muir wins the toss and puts delgety bay into bat 3rd ball in and first dropped catch of the day. This was first of many on what proved to be a bad day with no fewer than a further 5 catches put down.the home team got off to a quick start dispatching any lose ball to the boundary with ease although the bowling was of a good standard.after 20 overs delgety had reached 109 for3 and we're looking good for a high score but glens dug in and quickly slowed the run rate down witch in turn brought wickets 4 in 6 overs. But delgety responded sall be it with some poor fielding to post a total of186 with 50 runs of the last two batsmen.

Glens out to bat and changes having to be made to the batting order due injuries to the old crocks muir , warddle and Gould.
The openers quickly came and went and glens were strugglin 16 for 3 after 10 overs but slowly and surely talha and salt steaded the ship along with vice captain warddle glens reached 126 of30 sixty needed of 10 overs .As always happens wickets start to fall
and the run rate goes up.Due to their injuries Muir and Gould can't bat so green and burton promoted up the order and under captains orders told to go all out which they did unluckly they fell 12 runs short but a fantastic effort from two guys who only
Started playing cricket a couple years ago well done guys.

Overall a good game but injuries and poor fielding cost glens a winning start but congratulations
To delgety bay and look forward to seeing you back at Gilvenbank.
