Shropshire can take heart from opener
Shropshire’s chairman of selectors Bryan Jones admitted there was a touch of regret after the county started their Unicorns Twenty20 campaign with a win and a loss against Berkshire.
Jones saw Ross Aucott lead the side to victory in the opening clash of the double-header at Whitchurch before falling 12-runs short in the second.
“We’re pleased with how we played, but when we got in the changing room when we finished the second game, after being placed nicely, I think we felt we should have won both of them actually,” said Jones.
“But I suppose at the start of the day, I guess you would take that against a very good Berkshire side, so overall we were pretty pleased.
“Berkshire are a good outfit. They take it very seriously, they’re very drilled, very successful, so to put two good performances in we were pleased.”
