Japan ended the tournament in Bendigo today with an eight wicket defeat to the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Losing the toss and batting first at White Hills CC, Japan were in trouble from the start when Wataru Miyauchi edged to the keeper in the second over.<\/p>\n

Although Masaomi Kobayashi tried to hold things together, wickets fell constantly as players looked both nervous and tired after a rough week of cricket in hot weather.<\/p>\n

At 55\/6 things looked very bleak but Jun Yamashita, one of the big positives from the tournament, smashed some straight boundaries before he was run out.<\/p>\n

Kohei Wakita also played a few shots but a score of 111 all out was never going to be enough.<\/p>\n

Philippines made it to lunch without losing a wicket but Wakita made a breakthrough shortly after the restart.<\/p>\n

Shodai Yamada grabbed one more but Jonathan Hill and Henry Tyler guided Philippines to their second win of the competition.<\/p>\n

For Japan, although results have been disappointing, the emergence of Miyauchi as a dependable wicket-keeper\/batsman, and Yamashita as a middle order hitter who can bowl some useful overs have been big positives.<\/p>\n

Masaomi Kobayashi was solid as ever and Tsuyoshi Takada has clearly improved by playing in Australia this winter.<\/p>\n

We hope these players continue to commit to cricket and believe firmly that in two years time the gap to the other teams in the region will have closed considerably.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all who have supported the team.<\/p>\n
