The Carlton 3rd XI were unable to get the better of Melbourne 3rd XI in a tough outing.
We posted 10/245, while Melbourne 3rd XI made 7/311. Jack Atkinson passed fifty on the way to 52 off 87 balls with five fours. Rory Edwards contributed 45 off 122 balls. A five-wicket haul to Kyle Williamson for our opponents (five for 28).
Seth McGinty tore through the batting order, taking five for 63. Jujhar Singh Tamber weighed in with two for 61 off thirteen overs. The hosts' Brendan Reddell made a good 101. Our opponents' best was a half-century from Sam Anderson, who made 74.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again. It's four defeats on the trot, and the team will be eager to bounce back.
Plenty to work on, and plenty to like.
