Given Simple Job, Replacement Captain Fails.

With the regular skipper out resting his dodgy achilles the reigns were thrown to Dave Gunn to keep the machine running.

Following is his account of what followed:
___________________________________________
Basically we (I) strategically lost the toss and they chose to field. (Ed. This is where the rot started, we have fielded every time so far.)

Brendon again rock solid at the top. A few moments of panic when Gibbo got out for sweet FA.

(Ed. Daryll is a high performance athlete who needs to be carefully managed. Clearly this did not happen on the weekend.)

Me and Brendon batted till he got out just after drinks. (Ed. I sense a cover-up did Dave run him out?)
Then me and John batted the rest of the overs in a masterful partnership. Me getting most of my runs through the increasignly populated backward point area. John getting most of his 30 with deft defensive pushes until he stunned us all with a lofted pull shot for four.
(Ed. This has a ring of truth, especially the backward point bit. Struggling with the masterful)

A wet soapy ball meant we could basically push and run and we were picking up alot of runs just like that.
We ended up with 177/6
I got 60ish
John 30 and not sure about Brendan.
P.O.D points:
Dave 3
John 2
Brendan 1

So in summary the stand in skipper had a nice bat but failed to plan for the weather, and we missed out on our points. Oh well, sometimes you have to lose to win, and we're on a journey.

Struggling to see what went wrong/ Knowing a full game wouldn't be play i ensured we had a bat and then didn't have to field.

Sounds like a perfect day of cricket to me?
