A very below par performance from Oceans nearly led to an early exit to Parkhouse this week in the Sadler Brown cup. Parkhouse won the toss and elected to bat first, they posted a challenging score of 137/5 off their 14 overs with I Hearn scoring a patient 68. However, like the previous game, he was helped by some very ordinary bowling and poor fielding display. In reply, Oceans appeared to be coasting with both Arsalan (47) and Sonu (55) putting an excellent stand of 90. However a flurry of wickets towards the end provided an exciting finish. Ali played very calmly and hit a six and four to settle the match in the final over. No doubt again, the bowling was poor and Oceans must quickly put this right or else will be suffering a lot more misery this season.
