First Match Nerves Get Best of Turkey

Lining up for the first match.

We lost to Estonia. Batting stands from Sohail and Sener plus a
gripping spell of bowling from Jonathan and Sajjad were not enough to
prevent us handing Estonia their first ICC victory.

(Steve batted tenth and scored eight on his international debut. Hi mum.)

We are blooded now, with lessons learned and bruises earned. We have
determination for tomorrow.
