The Lilywhites were pressing hard and shot two wides before Mark Dempsey sent a ground shot to the Carlow net, with eleven minutes on the clock. |
They kicked a lot of wides in the first half and if they had put them on the board it might have been a different story. |
Numerous overthrows, wides and no balls showed the drawbacks inherent in blind cricket. |
Very soon the umpires' only duties could be to count the deliveries and call no balls and wides! |
Westmeath certainly had their chances as they hit 10 wides in that opening half, double the Laois tally but all three home points were out of the top drawer. |
Our quickies bowl with such amazing consistency that they manage a slew of wides and no balls each game. |
