With the season on the line, Rose Parks opening bowlers of Clarke and Spencer had Adel Lutheran reeling at 4/25 off 18 overs. With the game in the balance Rosies managed to shoot themselves in the foot by dropping 3 catches in the next 3 overs which included both batsman and could have had them in dire straits at 6/25 after 20. With the young lefty at 5 given a life he made the most of it smacking another 20 odd runs and left the tail to bring up the win with 3 overs left and 4 wickets in hand. Case of so close but not close enough again for Rose Park
BIG loss Cougar.....You guys needed that win. Think thatd put us and Lutheran a win up on ya. Was there a reason for the low scores or just one of those days?
Outfield was particularly slow, and on one side you wouldn't have been able to hit a 4 all the way along the ground. At best all you would get is 2. I said to one of our guys before we batted 150 to 160 would be a good score, but we were way too short of that and all out in 36 overs. Some silly bloke said 'Catches win Matches' and if we'd taken them all, things might have been different today. Tough for us now as we're a game and a half behind now, with only 3 to play.
