There really wasent much comming out of his hand. The ball really had nothing on it now did it.

Looking good at the moment - 48 of the last 9 overs, but I'd like to see the runs/balls gap a bit further apart before I relax about it.

You can relax my friend. Big fella cosi is looking pretty good at the moment. Making runs all over the place and in both forms of the game.

We win. Won by 8 wkts. Blewett 79* Cosgrove 71*

Yes stan, they certainly had it in control. I was expecting a couple of wickets to fall at any moment, but Blewett found the form we know he can perform, and Cosgrove continued his outstanding season.

In the words of Mighty Eagles - WOO HOO!

Good performance. Good to see Greg Blewett notching up a very good score, and more importantly, spending valuable time at the crease.

Propels us into equal third position now on the ladder. Fantastic!

Does anyone know if SA got any bonus points for this game?

Nah, they only won with 15 balls to spare. They had to have won within 32 overs to claim it.

They needed to get it in 32.4 overs, which was virtually impossible given the slow outfield.

yay, we are finally winning and with a good team too, youth and exp...carn the redbacks!!!!!!!!!!
