An odd game down in the smoke for the 2s ended with a 29 run Div 2B defeat to OFs.

The home team managed to post 153 with a dozen unused overs as spin was more effective than seam.

In reply, a tortuous slog had us always behind the rate, eventually managing 124 in 46+ overs!

“Childish in body and old in thought, I had read so much, meditated so much, that metaphysically I was acquainted with life’s lofty heights by the time I was on the verge of experiencing the tortuous twists of the gullies and gravelly paths on its plains.” — Balzac, LILY IN THE VALLEY
