Nat West Bank v St. James CC

.

St James CC DNB Nat West Bank 191 -6

Rained off

Nat West won the toss and decided to bat as usual. They had not forseen the strength of the St James attack or the dodgy bounce on offer. Nabeel and Robin

took a wicket each and had the Nat West batsmen struggling to get the ball off the square. The good work continued as Aamir and Dave Owen both shook off the

rust to bowl great spells.

Nat West consolidated slowly and Simon finally made a couple of breakthroughs. More good bowling followed from Mohsin and Ali but the experienced Nat West

batting order pushed their score along at the end of the innings. By now the dark clouds had turned to rain and the St James reply was cut short

after only a few overs. A great pity as Ousman had just unreeled some crisp offside shots.
