Here you are MickeyG with thanks to the official web site. I can’t really be bothered with the points just like I can’t in County Cricket even though they are obviously important. I see games of cricket as things to be won and lost.
I do understand this much . Super confident teams such as Ormskirk and Southport will usually bat first if they win the toss as it gives the potentially for 25 points whereas if you put the opposition in you may only get 20. They will back themselves to score enough and bowl the opposition out. I think it was the right decision to bowl first for Rainford yesterday. If we win the toss today at Rainhill , I would take the same decision as it seems there will be plenty of early moisture if they play.
