Coaches Comments: Pretty poor showing by Trav. 5-67 & a pretty poor showing? Lets face it, that was 2,8,9,10,11. A brilliant spell, but much too late. That said, the last 3 were in the final over, so something clicked. Not much else to say really, pretty disappointing fare. - by Dave Kennett

Coaches Comments: Some more tight spells was the order of the day for Adam, as conditions were a little better than last game. Overcast conditions at Abbett saw him moving the ball considerably, and was unlucky to only get the 1 wicket in the first innings, deserved more. Took 3 key wickets in the 2nd innings which sparked the collapse of the Rockingham batting order.

Coaches Comments: Underperformed with the ball, lacking economy and penetration. That said, he did get recognised batsmen, so it wasn't all bad. Still, pretty disappointing effort, could have definitely had a big game here, conditions suited him but he failed to take advantage, lacked discipline with his action, and seemed to lose confidence as the game went on. Will have to keep it tighter than that if he wants to consistently play well. A wonderful effort with the bat in the second dig, but is here to improve his bowling, not his batting. - by Dave Kennett

Awards: Nil [B Dorey - Nil]
Coaches Comments: His bowling performance in the first innings would rate as one of the best in his career, it was a McGrath-like display. At times seemed unplayable as he moved the ball both ways - both in the air and off the pitch. Great display.

Coaches Comments: Harsh snap back to reality for Bryce after his sensational 7 wicket innings last game. He never looked like getting a wicket, didn't seem to be hitting the pitch as hard as we've previously seen - although that could be due to a sore head and a nasty rash from the night before.

Coaches Comments: Again the workhorse of the RM lineup, and again went unrewarded. Hoy will be having a rest from 4D games from now on, and just bowling out the 1D, in an effort to keep his fitness and give him some recovery time before Season 8 in the dev league, recently he's been down on pace and we wouldn't want to risk him over-doing it this close to the season.
