When Storm and Padhy batting no others needed... Wonderful century from both players... Small ground, flat pitch, here comes record partnership...
 
Great win. Hopefully that fifty will take me straight to the national T20 team.
 
Extremely disappointed to have only been given 1 over in this match given I was the most effective bowler by a mile in our one day match previously :(. Can always hold my hopes for international selection given no other spinner has stood out in the T20s in particular I guess! Will hopefully get a better chance next time. Good to get the convincing team win on the whole though!

What an amazing match.Great Batting display by our batsmen.
My performance was AWFUL(67 runs).
 
Good performance however our top order needs to be laying the foundation for us for a solid performance. Our bowlers should be getting back into the nets for some bowling practice.
 
Probably the first T20 where two players scoring centuries, and the are the openers and scored against us. :facepalm.
 
fearsome tweak
