Seconds win battle of attrition

On a wicket made hard to bat on by Friday's rain the 2nd XI, having been inserted by unbeaten SB, found the going painfully slow. Indeed they were 40-3 at drinks (21.3 overs). So the modest 120/7 represented a recovery of sorts with good work in the latter overs by Richard Whittle and (in a rare appearance for this season) Chris Bellaby. Skipper Eddy George bowled 12 overs off the reel and backed up by his fellow seamers (note Taimoor Tasnim's 9.1-3-10-1) the home team never got going. A much needed second win of the season and a mid table position in "D".
