First things first - Brilliant presentation - take a bow! This is stunning! The best I have seen yet! :clap

Sadly the same thing cannot be said for our performance with the ball. We let them off the hook after they were scoring at below four an over. Great stuff from Morne and Finn, but that can't be said of other, Trent shouldn't have been under-bowled though, also credits to Rob Taylor for getting the two big fish in Kohli and Trott. 254 is difficult, and nearly impossible considering the sim and the pitch, but hope we do it! Go kill them Tresco! :D
 
To start with, this is great presentation of a final Aggz, hats of the best finals presentation I have seen yet. :clap

Performance, not that happy, I feel this pitch favors the batsmen the most and putting a score like 252 is no where near good enough. Sad to see Davies couldn't finish the tournament on a happy note after having a good season, Shah did really well as an opener, yes he was dropped on the first ball of the match and did look shaky through his knock, but he was the main reason that our batting began to shine. But this time around it was Kohli's fast scoring ability that really saved us from what would have been a 210-220 total, great to see that Trott looked comfortable at that 4th position by hitting a 76 on more than a run a ball, which was also capitalized by some great batting from Misbah. I feel we should have targeted bowlers like Johnston and Yardy more, looking at their spell does not really convince me much atm, Malinga and Gordon have been great with the new ball, I can see them picking up few early wickets.
