End of over 20 (7 runs) - Inchigeela Angels(179-3) RR 8.95

Green pitch so that's going to be too much to chase.

R. Creevey (lfs) 2-0-22-1, C. Paton 5 (11b), A. Clarke 11 (6b)
End of over 12 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(95-4). 85 runs required from 8 overs. RR 7.92 RRR 10.62

We've lost too many wickets only a miraculous batting performance from Paton can save us.

Always tough to play against a team of players aged 29+ (all but 1 above 30). My LF Roberson needed to do better with the ball and either has to get more than 1 wicket or has to be more economical; he can't train power quickly enough!

End of over 18 (5 runs) - Ruff Royals(84-2). 162 runs required from 22 overs. RR 4.67 RRR 7.36

We're struggling a bit. It didn't help that my 2nd best batter on skills got out in the first over.

Westerveld was great with the ball on this hard pitch and finished with 3-31.

We just weren't good enough today. We couldn't get rid of the Samad/Mullen partnership quickly enough and it cost us.

Congratulations on the win and the marriage!

I won't say which I'm happier about

[eagles123]

gonna need a miracle today up against Inchigeela! lost the toss and having a bat on sticky/overcast, would have batted anyway. At least the NRR shouldn't be too badly affected

I think that's a decent total by them in the conditions (dry/overcast). I feel like we let them off at times and Pokrovsky's 44 might have got them the win.
