Their nine-wicket defeat by unbeaten Wiltshire at Falkland last week means they have failed to win any of their three Unicorns Championship games and before that they had lost three of their four Unicorns Trophy ties.

But Morris said: “We have three games left and so our season is far from finished.

“There is a lot of talent in the squad and Tom Lambert (coach) and myself remain confident we will see better performances.”

Morris was forced to miss the game at his former club, Falkland.

As captain, he had to carry the can for his team following incidents involving other players in the previous match against Wales.

Morris received a one-match ban from the Minor Counties Cricket Association for “failing to control his players.”

But he spoke to his players following the end of the game on Tuesday.

“We had a chat about what went wrong and the areas where we need to improve. For a start, we certainly need to put bigger scores on the board.

“We now have two weeks before our next game and we hope the players will show a good reaction against Herefordshire at Finchampstead.

“We have players who know they have under-performed and they are determined to put things right.”

While Berkshire had lost and drawn one of their previous two Unicorns Championship game, Wiltshire are riding the crest of a wave.

They had won all nine of their previous games in all competitions this season, including a home win over Berkshire in the Marlborough Cup.

Having won the toss, the hosts did not start too well on Sunday, losing five wickets for 117.

But Richard Morris, with 104, and Stewart Davison, 70, improved the position by taking the score to 254. However, both were dismissed in quick succession and, with spinner Joe King taking six wickets, Berkshire were all out for 282.

Wiltshire also made a poor start to their innings, losing five wickets for 89.

But skipper Michael Coles inspired a spirited recovery with 58, while No. 9 Tahir Afridi hammered 70 not out and Adam Miles 32.

Useful late partnerships led to the visitors posting a total of 314, a lead of 32.

Young paceman Tom Nugent was the pick of the home bowlers, taking 5-85 off 22 overs.

Henley all-rounder Afridi continued to be a thorn in Berkshire’s side, bowling Waqas Hussain in his first over. Two more wickets tumbled before the deficit was wiped out.

Richard Morris was looking in fine form before misreading a turning delivery from King and was bowled for 41 without playing a shot.

Berkshire never recovered from that set-back and were dismissed early on Tuesday morning for 106.

Wiltshire were left requiring just 75 to win and they reached their target in less than 13 overs for the loss of one wicket.

The county’s next fixture is against Herefordshire at Finchampstead on July 20-22.
