As Boro crumble at Nelson
Crotty stroked his way to an unbeaten century and finished with 104no off 113 balls that included 15 fours and a couple of sixes.
He was well supported by Hendricks who also finished unbeaten on 81 (10x 4 and 1x6) in a stand of 185. Miskella finished with 2-35 off 10.
The disappointing thing was that the home side got home in just over 40 overs going at more than five an over, which is not a good recipe for winning cricket matches.
Miskella will not forget this day in a hurry but the team need to put it behind them very quickly and turn things round – they have the chance to do that at home to Rishton on Saturday.
