And we did pretty well, batting first (Gloucs won the toss and put us in) - 201 for 8 in our 20.
Bethell, probably the star of the innings - 47 in 29 balls (4x6's), but good knocks from Yates (37 off 25), Davies (43 off 24) and Mousley (34 off 17). Only Benjamin (a duck again - the third this season for the 2nds) and Burgess (2) failed to score, amongst the batsmen.

Benjamin's form is a worry, but seconds form doesn't always translate to firsts

We won by 72 runs - Gloucs were 129 for 8. No surprise, given how many likely First teamers we had playing - and Gloucs were a 'proper' 2nds lineup.

Bowlers did well. Miles probably best, with 2 for 13 off 3 overs. CW, 1 for 28, Ali, 2 for 43 and Jake L, 2 for 25 (2 stumpings by Davies!); all off their allotted 4 overs. Mousley was first change with his off spin (3 overs for 14 runs) and Barnard, 2 overs for 6 runs. Oh and Davies did a very smart run out, taking a good throw from Burgess (at mid on, I think!)
