Our Casey South Melbourne 2nd XI came unstuck as they went down to Footscray 2nd XI on a frustrating day.
Across the match we made 10/196, with Footscray 2nd XI on 10/385. Fifty for Nicholas England, who finished with 56 off 101 balls. Nikhil Reddy Kasarla passed fifty on the way to 55 off 90 balls with four fours. Bailey Toseland bowled well for the hosts, a five-wicket haul of five for 59.
Evan Allaway was the hero with the ball, claiming a six-wicket haul (six for 75). There were also wickets for Krishna Sridhar (two for 34). Aayan Nadeem made a classy 108 for our opponents, a century worth applauding. Ashton Frost posted 62 for the hosts, a quality fifty.
It's two defeats on the trot, and the team will be eager to bounce back. Congratulations to our opponents on the win.
