NT League Matches

The final match in our tour will be for the title, against serial winners Canada. We'll certainly be underdogs given their ratings, particularly bowling ratings. However with no relegation possibility, it will be nice to sit back and relax for once.

Well done on securing top tier status. I'm glad that Kirk managed to make a decent contribution. I reckon it's going to be a fairly even game tomorrow (but with Canada as favourites).

Shame the timezone is horrific for me, so won't be able to watch live. Would be nice to beat the Northern neighbours to the title.

Well, it's not going to be close at all. We only got 220 on a hard pitch (I thought they were all supposed to be uneven) so we've got no chance.

Well done on a good tour.

It's just a shame the batsmen didn't perform in the last game.

Hard luck on the U19 T20 tour. It's always going to be tough when you don't win the toss for any of the matches.

What's going on!? The senior side have won 3 tour games in a row. The bottom 2 sides left to play; we'll probably lose both of those.

[Philly]

Well, we lost the first one.

Promotion looks almost likely, provided we don't completely capitulate in the final match.

Looks like we're giving a lesson on how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

all part of the master plan…
