Poor Batting Costs Oakley

Oakley must learn how to play good balls and wait for the bad ones to hit if they are to start winning games. Only James Lancaster (17) Julian Worthington (9) and late resistance from Henry Newcombe performed with the bat, with the rest of the team out to poor shot selection rather than good bowling by Cove that ultimately cost them the game.

A ferocious fightback led by excellent Bowling and tight fielding almost got Oakley back in contention but 70 was never going to be a competitive score. Julian Worthington steamed in and deserved better than 2-17, and he was well backed up by George Lethaby (2-14) and MattVickers (2-19) with James Lancaster and Alex Grey also bowling well helped by strong fielding.

Changes in the batting order will come tomorrow v Odiham

Overall: Batting Poor
Fielding: Excellent

M.O.M Julian: Great bowling, stoical last stand
