Match report Game 18 v Ruislip Orientals - Lost by 157 runs

A lacklustre performance summed up the day — no clear plan, dropped catches, mediocre fielding, and poor bowling. We conceded a staggering 133 runs in just 11 overs, which set the tone for the rest of the match.
The opposition piled on 281 runs, with all four batsmen who scored fifty-plus being dropped — all off Sanjeev’s bowling. That summed up the level of ill-discipline and lack of accountability in the field.
Chasing was always unlikely, and unlikely it was. Vishal stood out with the bat, but after being well-placed at 81-1, the innings collapsed to 124 all out — losing 9 wickets for 43 runs in 12 overs.

Player of the Match:
Jayesh Bhalerao — showed resilience with the ball, keeping an economy of just 3.5 runs per over during the onslaught. His high energy in the field, covering ground and chasing tirelessly, was commendable on a tough day.

Final thoughts:
That’s 4 defeats in a row. Winning and losing is part of the game, but the concerning part is the lack of performance standards — no accountability, no intensity, and no commitment. We cannot let games drift away and expect results to turn. The response now has to be in our mindset, attitude, and application.
