It was a disappointing outing for our Sydney 3rd, who had to give best to St George 3rd in NSW Premier Cricket (Men's).
Batting first, St George 3rd posted 5/306 from 50 overs. Hats off to Thomas Thorpe, whose 169 not out was a stylish century for our opponents. Oscar Kirk was the pick of the bowlers, taking two for 74 off nine overs.
In reply, the side were all out for 258 in 47.3 overs. Vansh Bhatia's 73 off 79 balls was a half-century to remember. Aditya Thakare passed fifty on the way to 51 off 61 balls with eight fours and one six. There were also handy runs from William Sutton (46). Jackson Shaw was the best of the hosts' bowlers, finishing with four for 41.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with.
It's been a tough run, and we'll be working hard to turn it around. On to the next one.
