Oceans lose in exciting match

Oceans CC lost their third game of the season last night against Three tuns after one stage lokking the clear favourites. Ratty won the toss and elected to bat first on a nice summer's day. Oceans made a very competitive score off 150/8 from their 16 overs. Rian (52), Imran (27) and Ratty (17 not out) were the major contributors to the Oceans total. Rian and Imran shared an opening stand of 70 with both players playing exceedingly well. Oceans then suffered a middle order collapse and at were one stage 106/6 from 13 overs. However, the skipper played quite beautifully along with some big hits from Wally gave Oceans an excellent score of 150 from their 16 overs. In reply, the tuns openers came out blazing. They enjoyed huge luck early as their bit hitting opener was clearly out twice caught and some poor bowling along the way helped tuns chase down the total in the 14th over. Only Rian bowled well returning with 4/40 off his 4 overs. Three tuns finally finished on 151/5 off 13.3 balls.
