Batting...what batting?

Another classy Titans "top order" collapse. You'd think this team was all West Indian the way we have no desire to stick at the crease...lol. Another tired tale of "if only we had 40 more on the board."

Let's start from the top down...team leaders/ veterans first.

Paul - 3.0 (0 batting, 2.0 fielding, 0 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Failed in both departments when the team needed him the most.

Tanmay - 7.0 (1.0 batting, 2.5 fielding, 2.5 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Batting a bit and bowled well but it was too little too late.

Tiki - 3.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding,0 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Looked good batting but another senseless run-out. Expensive one over.

Wazza - 6.0 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, 2.5 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Did not bother the scorers much but bowled beautifully.

Chuck - 5.0 (0 batting, 2.0 fielding, n/a bowling, 3.0 discretionary)
Another unforgettably bad day for Chuck and another duck.

Dalip - 8.0 (2.0 batting, 2.0 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
Quickfire 30 runs...but not enough.

Umair - 6.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
No real contribution...batting was needed badly.

Bala - 5.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, 2.0 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Batting was poor, fielding was good, bowling was decent.

Gowtham - 6.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
Getting better every game in the field but batting needs to show up.

Vedere - 6.0 (0 batting, 2.0 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
No real contribution...wasted another batting opportunity.

Reddy - 5.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, 2.0 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Much improved fielder and player...all round. Did not show it with the bat this week though.

7-6-1 and at least it was a winning season. We beat all the bad teams and lost to the good ones...we were the middle of the pack team.
