Depends on what mood I'm in. If I feel happy I'll challenge you, if I want to win I'd rather play Nails. :P

P. Rodrigo 6-0-40-1, R. Clarke 53 (73b), S. Verrier 8 (2b)
End of over 20 (9 runs) - No Capes(112-3). 112 runs required from 30 overs. RR 5.60 RRR 3.73

Alex in full control. 2 quick wickets has it looking a little bit more respectable. A big moment in the game right now

Game should be Alex's, but this is the last of his batters and all rounders. Here is hoping I can pull off a miracle

Good game Cookie, series tied 1-1 now although I'm still.. A little behind in the overall record. :P

The game tomorrow will be interesting, overcast/green and with cookie being forced to play 3 seamers (I believe?) I will hope to take a series lead.

I will be playing the 3 seamers. I am a couple of seasons away from having more options. Waiting for my youths to grow and come through the ranks

I'm in a similar position with my spinners, I've invested a lot of money in them and they'll be high quality players, but they're really too young to have a major impact yet. Frustrating.
Was surprised to come away with the win on the dry actually I was expecting you to win on the spinning pitches and then try to pull you back in on the seaming ones, hopefully Weidman doesn't do too much damage tomorrow.
