Stoke D’Abernon 136 all out (26.4 overs)

Sometimes phrases like “take the positives” or “many positives in defeat” are mis-used, often to soften the blow of a defeat or a poor performance, or end up glossing over technical or performance issues; but Stoke’s 2015 Trust League vintage looks like it will contain many future first team players, and a bit of fine-tuning and ironing out the things that didn’t go quite so well from this opening match should be a straightforward task.
