It wasn't to be for our Oakleigh (Saturday XI), who were bettered by Lusatia Park Senior 1st XI despite Antony Machado's 81.
Lusatia Park Senior 1st XI batted first and put 5/266 on the board from 35 overs. Our opponents' best was a half-century from Ben Joseph, who made 86. Credit to Lucas Parker, who made a half-century (79) for the hosts. Hayden Emerson grabbed two for 31.
In reply, we finished on 8/212 from 35 overs. Antony Machado's 81 off 84 balls was a half-century to remember. Dharmesh Patel provided good support with 38.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with.
It's been a tough run, and we'll be working hard to turn it around. Plenty to work on, and plenty to like.
