Asked to field, the 1s made a decent start against Edinburgh
Accies 2s, Pradeep and Robin reducing them to 43 - 3 before their number four
freed his arms. A couple of held catches might have made for a different story,
but we rallied well with Sai Dasari and Sada Gopan both taking wickets on
debut, ably supported in the field by Abdul Shah's two run outs. Calum Lothian,
Andy Graham and Ross Parker brought hockey-like energy to the field, and Simon
Boendermaker chased tirelessly around the leg-side boundary to keep them to 230
all out.
The chase started well enough, Nipun striking a fine fifty
in an opening stand of 82. Unfortunately, one wicket brought a few and we
collapsed to 111 - 8, before the weather cruelly denied the tail a shot at
glory.
