@Thresher my boy lost again on Saturday. This is despite one of his mates scoring his first ever ton!
Unfortunately they batted first and their opener also scored a ton in a total of 220 over the 30 overs. We could only muster 185.
Figures for my son was 0-22 off 3 overs but he was no way the worst.
A grade is definitely a different kettle of fish. But since only one of the team has played As before, it may take them a couple of games to get used to how it works.
Funny thing was though, the coach's son, who is the only one to have played A grade before, came in at number 4 with us on target to chase the score but played like the pitch had grenades on it. At one stage he had 3 off 15 balls! By the time he got out, he had 23 off 29 balls but by that time we were behind the 8 ball, needing 70 runs with 8 overs to go.
Still, there's always next week and another chance to improve.
