OLD Buckenham's dismal run continued as they were outplayed in all departments at Lowestoft on a windy and cold league game.
Bucks now are rooted to the bottom of the Alliance Premier Division table.
However, there is undoubted talent in the side and they must try to score more freely in the middle overs, starting with the next game at home against mid-table Acle.
Putting Lowestoft in proved a poor decision for Bucks as they leaked runs from the start, bowling both sides of the wicket.
South African Mostert and Sims eased to a opening partnership of 99 in the first 25 overs.
Despite continuing to change the bowling, Bucks got no better as catches went down and one or two fielding errors crept in.
