Well, after the performance at Harrogate the previous Monday, everyone hoped for a better fielding performance. To be fair it couldn't get any worse, but we didn't get any better either. Important catches were dropped early, including by Stevern Hood, off Semtex Seager in particular, and Semtex soon started to live up to his name with a series of tirades delivered at all and sundry. Bas Jones heard them all in the score box and anyone on the Abbeydale Road probably did as well. We think that there was a world-first new swear word but of course that cant be printed here.
Despite our efforts to boost Halifax's score, they only got 142-9 at the close, the latter order apparently bent on batting for the millennium in a bizarre tactical move.
Hood and Furniss made extremely short work of the total, knocking off the 142 in only just over half of the available overs. This was a fine display of positive batting which was a treat to watch.
