The venue for this was Ian Galloway Park, and the winner would go to Nationals.
Anyway, Danny won the toss and batted first on a nice artifitial pitch. Me and Alex B opened and took a while to get used to the extra bounce. We were 26-0 after 12 overs - slow. So we then found the bad balls and attacked very well. At Drinks we were 81-0 a good recovery from a slow start. We were told to play like a T20 format now. And i threw my wicket away doing so for 36. So did Alex B for 42.We'd both 'done our job'. And Danny himself lost his wicket too for 1. Sam Collier and Sam Petersen were in and we needed a good partnership, and we got that from them. Sam C's Pulling and backfoot play was fantastic as was his front foot play. Sam P played a supporting innings and fed Sam C the strike. Sam C got 71 (4 sixes!). Sam P got out not long afterwids for a well made 45, Te Raina came in at the last over and hit two 6's, one beautifly down the ground. We had got to 228-6. A respectible total. We started very well with the ball, keeping the runs down, we finally got a wicket and they kept coming. One of there openers stayed in and smashed alot of 4's and 6's.He got 83, 17 runs short of a 100! Stream's Run-rate was never going to win them the game, as a result they we restricted to 171-8. A good win to start off with
