South Africa 2003 | SuperSport Series - Final - Titans v Warriors- A valiant effort by Rudi Struwig just isn't enough. Titans fall short by 19 runs!

[RUDI]

Surprised Rudi the captain didn't convince them to retain Pierre

He tried, but the Titans budget wouldn't allow it

He tried, but the Titans budget wouldn't allow it

In all honesty. I had to fix up my squads. Both Northers and Western Province just became too strong for the opposition franchises.

 

[Till Valhalla]

Surprised Rudi the captain didn't convince them to retain Pierre

Fight between the brothers?

That's the end of the game and WESTERN PROVINCE wrap up a massive victory winning by 66 runs. BOLAND was never in the game but that is more down to WESTERN PROVINCE's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. BOLAND really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against WESTERN PROVINCE and that's exactly how it played out.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with LIONS claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by LIONS and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said LIONS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

That's the end of the game and WESTERN PROVINCE wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. WARRIORS was never in the game but that is more down to WESTERN PROVINCE's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said WESTERN PROVINCE proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with TITANS claiming an impressive victory by 56 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by TITANS and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said TITANS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
