An observation on the batting boys that your Coach has likely covered off, but to reinforce it, turning the strike over by scoring singles and running positively is a very imporant part of building a good score. It appeared to me that we were two speeds today - block, or hit for four. There is no point playing out a good over with a series of drives into the covers. We are there to score runs not look good - scoring ugly is fine, use soft hands and drop the ball down, angle your bat and direct it into a gap. We then need to back that shot up with good positive running. Today I saw too many occasions where a shot was hit, and a run could have been taken, but wasn't. Back-up, look for runs, run hard, call clearly, trust your partner. Be positive when it comes to running! It will make a big difference. Something for you guys to work on. Well done overall though, a a top result. Craig
