Oakley just about got a team together tonight and started with just 5 players due football and school cricket commitments, with George Lethaby joining the team late and batting at six.
Oakley got off to a terrible start with some fine bowling reducing them to 12 for 4 before they rallied to 104 all out aided by some stoical batting by Matt Clarke (9) and a half decent 8 not out from George Lethaby.
Oakley bowled well defending the total but were ultimately undone by a bit of sloppy fielding, though two fine catches were taken by George Rowley and George Lethaby off the bowling of Brown and Clarke. There were many positive things about this match with the batting from Clarke, and the fielding and bowling of George Rowley particulary pleasing.
Overall I can't fault the efforts of all the players, but my MOM goes to Matty Clarke for his resillience with the bat under huge pressure, and his obligatory wicket taking spell of accurate slow bowling. Well done Matty it's great to see such a massive batting improvement.
