From The Pavilion

129/10, have to take that from 68/6, but still a below par score. Really wasn't expecting anything from today's match anyway

25 for 4

Hmm, ok, 63/10. Perhaps it won't be that tight

I would be very surprised if it was...

51 for 4, you've got most of my decent batsmen out

Lol, at least that's something...

Although Boag has just remembered he's actually a decent batsman, and doesn't have to hide from the ball

Those match ratings are why we were hammered...

You've got a young team, those ratings aren't bad considering. Josiah Lord looks particularly useful going forward, took out my NT keeper for a duck

T. Julian (rfs) 10-0-53-1, M. Roberson 24 (41b), C. Paton 104 (85b)
End of over 50 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(259-6) RR 5.18

Paton was excellent. Perhaps a rare example of a Finisher actually using his ability. I'm happy with that score considering we were 135-4 and 173-6. It still might not be enough.

P. Callaway (rfs) 1-0-4-0, M. Moyle 17 (35b), C. Fraser 19 (33b)
End of over 13 (4 runs) - Relegation reprobates(46-2). 214 runs required from 37 overs. RR 3.54 RRR 5.78

A decent start with my 24-year-old LF who I need to give more game time to. He's spectacular/spectacular so isn't amazing but I'll cross my fingers that he can do an okay job this season.

When they were 185-3 and 213-4 with a 260 total needed to win, I didn't think we had a chance. Some great late bowling from the spinners managed to turn it around for us. Callaway was expensive but took 4 wickets and was a big reason why we got back into the game. Happy with the 4 points although we didn't really deserve it.

Yes, I suppose that's something to take from the game. Lord really is the stand out talent in my squad.

Going to be a close game today mehinks, had to rest one of my best batsmen because he played in the cup yesterday.

Losing two wickets in one over then three in the 18th really isn't helping!

Not sure we have the bowling to defend that.

0.2.Rinaldi to Bertwistle : [dropped] Bertwistle drives upishly into the covers. Hope dives forward, but spills the ball when his elbows hit the deck. A nice change of pace from Rinaldi, but Bertwistle survives.

Game over
