End of over 20 (1 run) - Ruff Royals(148-8) RR 7.40

I don't think this is enough. We were doing alright at times but we really lost it in the last 5 overs; only 33 runs scored whilst 5 wickets were lost.

Disappointing stuff from the bowlers in particular. Moses did very well with 4-22 but the rest weren't good enough.

WOW, an amazing 5th wicket partnership of 117 has really hurt us,from 47 for 5 to 164 for 5 with 7 overs to go!

To be honest I'd have really been miffed if the final total was 164 after having Sparks lads 47 for 5!

I was very happy with that partnership; not so happy that we lost all those early wickets in the first place! Laurence pretty much as good as any of my best bats and he's been due a big score. Patterson only reasonable skill bat but capable summary.

My bowling was a bit disappointing wickets-wise (and fielding) but it was pretty good in terms of economy. Keeping Sandri batting turned out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise.

Flat pitch and we were made to bat first so we need to get a big score. I'm don't think it's big enough yet and I think we need 10+ runs an over for the remainder of our innings.

J. Wilkins (rfs) 9-0-53-1, A. Clarke 1 (1b), B. Issa 84 (80b)
End of over 43 (13 runs) - Ruff Royals(231-4) RR 5.37

E. Couch (rf) 9-0-51-3, S. Clouston 1 (9b), P. Massey 4 (3b)
End of over 48 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(258-8) RR 5.38

We've lost a flurry of wickets and I don't think we've got enough runs here. Issa did well but was out just short of his century on 97.

A very close game and we just about got the victory. Issa was the star with the bat with 97 from 90 balls. Roberson was best of our bowlers with 3-47.

won the toss and had a bowl on cloudy/flat. Was happy to restrict opps to 262/10, felt it was somewhat below par but possibly a difficult chase ... wasn't expecting us to chase it down with no wickets loss

We didn't take many wickets but Bullock (41) and Jupp (54 not out) did well with the bat to get us a good win yesterday.
