Presentations
Pollock comes forward
We are dissapointed with the score, we set ourselfs a bigger total,
but the guys can take heart from the way we came back
Jonty is supurb with Gibbs Ontong and we also try and field well
Carl Hooper can not come up due to the Cramps, so Jacobs comes up
You can expect anything in cricket and this one was close, we lost
our way a bit but we won in the end
We are very happy with the way it turned out, the six from McGarrel
was very special
We have been training hard and strating to see some results, it can
only get better from here
MoM = McGarrel
I was very calm in the middle and enjoyed myself in the middle
That ends our coverage, thanks all and good night
