A poor bowling display from Oakley blew their chances of causing an upset against Holyborne last night, with only Julian Worthington and George Lethaby posting reasonable figures. However in fairness to the bowlers the strong cold easterly that blew across Oakley Park couldn't have helped. To emphasise the point 64 of Holyborne's total of 152 came in extras.
Having to chase a huge total Oakley had to bat with agression which proved the undoing of Blackall (1) Coates (0) Lethaby (3) and Vickers (3) before Lancaster 18 and Bulley 13no showed the way before the game was conceded in bad light with Oakley well behind the total.
This was a night to forget for the bowlers, but one to learn from also, and positives come from the fact that Oakley were certainly not outplayed by a team two leagues ahead. Man of the match was newcomer Sam Bulley with an excellent fielding performance and 13 not out with the bat meaning he is yet to be dismissed this season. Well done Sam.
