Ratty has today spoken of his teams cup defeat last night against Whitley Bay CC.He first spoke about his side getting knocked out of the cup,'It would have been very nice to have had a run in the cup but it was never meant to be.I thought we would only be chasing about 90 to 100 runs to be honest but that one over from James proved to be the defining moment, as were a few unlucky dismissals of our batsman when they looked well set.But still 118 was definetly gettable and the last over was just disappointing as the game was in our hands.However, in hindsight it may be a good thing as the lads can now fully focus on the bread and butter which is the league and concentrate fully on promotion.
The captain also later talked about the contribution in the match of the Aziz brothers.he said, 'I thought Bilal was again absolutely superb with the ball,his line and length was immaculate and he rarely bowled a bad ball.As for Usman,this is the sort of performance he is capable of.It was a devastating assault which so nearly brought an unlikely victory.I just hope he can maintain this level of performance because if he does, it will be great to watch.Ratty also quicly paid a quick mention to Rian,'Yet again he batted sensibly and intelligently.He was so unlucky to be given out on a no ball and it was probably another defining moment in the game'.
