Pacific's 1st defeat to the Bank was simply accountable to a poor batting
display on a bouncy track, but which had also had some lateral for the
bowlers.
P : 129-9 (ao). M Holliday 32. S Lay 31. Kendall 14.3-3-31-6.
BoE : 134-4. Howat 55*. T Mileham 7-1-28-2.
A useful position to reach a challenging total of 200 + had looked
on at 91-2; but with over an hour before tea , a succession of poor shot
selection & a lack of concentration saw a collapse to 129 all out. Off
spinner John Kendall again doing most damage with 6-31 of 14.3 overs. Opener
Matt Holliday not only top scored but it was his personal best too with 32
runs.
A lack of any quick seamer meant Captain Steve Lay pinned his hopes on
occasionals & spinners. Tim Mileham with 2-28 was the pick, however this was
at a price & run stifling was at a premium as Bank romped home with 12 overs
to spare.
