And BB have done it, its taken 5 tries but the Penguins have finally been sent to the south pole empty handed

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by 39 runs.
Baggy Blues 235-9
St. Johns Penguins CC 196-10

Not too impressed with the collapse I received though. Went from 202/4 to 235/9 with my exceptional batter just in only making 5. Good bowling all round in the end apart from Chambers who had an off day. Sawyer got the key wickets along with Mampe and Allen and Fernades did the tail cleaning.

Com'on Boys! Singh goes after a brilliant century, but he should have finished the match. Now I doubt whether we can bounce back.

48.6 4 Bentham to Gayle
Beautifully swept off the middle of the bat for four.
48.5 4 Bentham to Gayle
Gayle takes a pace down the track to Bentham and smashes him back over his head for a two-bounce four that's almost shocking in its surprise brutality.

Everard/Singh once again playing a very vital part in winning the match for us. :banana2 I never estimated that my unknown opponent will give me a scare

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 5 wickets.
