With the 2nd XI raring to go after the dominant win the week before, hope of a complete game was ruined by the knowledge of the impending weather heading towards Harefield. The only glimpse of hope to get us through the day was shortly ruined by our Captain who managed to lose the toss which resulted in us fielding first.
The bowling attacked opened up with Hirani and Evans. It was clear from the first over of Wraysbury’s intent as after three overs the run rate was touching 8 an over. Throughout the game the bowling kept consistent as did Wraysburys batting intent. Good spells from Hirani (2/19 off 6), Richards (2/27 off 6.5) and Beacham (1/20 off 7) ensured that with intent came risk. The rain started intensifying and after some eccentric hand signalling between the umpires it translated into a decision to get the covers on. Play stopped with the scores being 156-6 off 33.5. The decision to abandon the game came about 20 minutes later with no sign of it stopping. It was a good battle whilst the game was on and Harefield 2xi once again showing they are more than capable at playing at this level. The 2s look forward to taking on Stoke Greens 2s this weekend.
