Lost my shot at the lead by 30 runs
The pre match talk was all about removing their gun batmsan early and seeing off the opening spell but it went completely wrong.
They made 308-8 from 50, Whittingham made 166*, Islam took 5-42.
Then i was reduced to 30-3 with my best 2 batsmen, Challinor(0) and Abdul Kadir(3) both out. So i guess getting within 30 runs was admirable, Magloire made 40, Webster 117 and Naidoo 55, at one point we have recovered to 241-4 but we collapsed under the pressure of the required run rate.
Ratings were a bit dissapointing for a GFI, think my opponent went for a GFI as well.
