NOTE: Scorecard does not show one of our players A Javaid, so I combined their bowling and run total

The first innings:
*Fielding needs improving, Wanstead were very good at running between wickets and took 2 runs where singles should have been taken
*Aztecs got 4 wickets in total
*Too many wides bowled
*Missed 4 catches (2 dropped, 2 fielders backed away)

The second innings:
*Batting collapse
*Running between wickets not great
*Rohan & Abdullah only batsmen to score double digits
*Too much defending and not enough score making shots

Overall it was a much improved performance and the team should take heart from the fielding and bowling display. Batting needs improving but it is moving in the right direction. The team is close and it is only a matter of time before Aztecs win. Well done to all players and parents for their support!
