We had our opportunities and were in a strong position, I wouldn't say it was disappointing, we only have ourselves to blame for the result. We need to raise our fielding standards. The half chances, we have to make sure we take them.
Everyone agrees that the catches offered were mostly difficult. At least we weren't grassing sitters like in earlier days!
Fielding standards could always be improved. At leasrt the ground fielding seemed to have held up.
