Team Mitcham were a hurriedly organised replacement for Crossbats, who were having their pitch re-seeded. So Strongroom headed deep into South London to take on a new opposition, but ultimately it was a disappointing contest, as they struggled to mount a serious challenge. On winning the toss they decided to bat first, but in no time wickets started to fall at a steady rate. Only Sinesh looked like he could build a significant innings, and the other wickets were shared between the rest of our bowlers, who had a pretty easy time of it.
There was no tea. I shared a mars bar.
Team Mitcham actually bowled a lot better than they batted, and maintained some pretty decent lines. But Harry [40*] was in fine touch and got us past their meagre total with some pleasing shots. I headed home, but the rest of the guys stayed on for a quick T20 game.
