A splendid start to the season on a damp, slow wicket. Ilan Frankel and Tom Eden got us off to a good start but after their dismissals we rather stuttered our way to a shower interrupted 144 at tea with Stewart trying to keep the strike during the last few overs, a tactic recognised by the opposition, umpires and spectators if not necessarily by his batting partner! When Wrotham commenced their innings yours truly wrecked the top order with with the aid of two good catches by Ilan. a craft grubber which hit leg stump and a plumb LBW off a slower ball which might have reached the stumps, before craftily avoiding a jug by retiring to the deep at this point. It was then left to the skipper and 'Malinga' to finish them off, although a few lusty blows carried them closer than they should have been.
