MOTM-Adyhorn
 
Last time we defeated 141, this time 146, i think this is enough ;)
 
Ady! YOU GENIUS! Terrific innings there.Howsie played well too.Kudos to our bowlers for restricting them within 150.We got a hattrick of wins now.:banana2
 
We were short of 8-10 runs, neverthless bowlers are still uselss :facepalm
 
Bowled poorly. Only the nats, as usual, bowled well. I think it's too heavily stacked against us non-nat bowlers, but oh well.
 
Good win guys, thought we would lose that. I was magnificent as always, 67(57), 1-32(4) and 1 catch.
