Man of the match: Michael Clarke
Daily Blast Comment: Another one that came down to the toss. Batting first was never going to be easy, but still a disappointing batting effort by Green. To recover from 18/2 to 95/3 and then to collapse once more to 120/8 was poor. However, Rose and Delkap fought to some semblance of a decent total and the bowlers tried their best in defence but alas the target fell too small.

Man of the match: Ian Markus
Daily Blast Comment: The captaincy of Ian Markus continues to impress as the Reds took care of their Blue counterparts convincingly. The Blues batting fell apart to 123/8, but Bluefox led a thoughtful recovery with Adam and there was a contest on. Another captain's knock from Markus and some more timely runs for Sam Vimes paid big in a comfortable win.

CW BLACK 255/7 50.0 overs
ENGLAND 'A' 229/8 50.0 overs
CW Black won by 26 runs
Man of the match: Yasa Fayaz
Daily Blast Comment: The latest Black star appears to be Yasa Fayaz. The phenom once again showed that he's hard to keep out of a game by providing the crucial innings for CW Black with the bat and then bowling solidly and consistently in defence of it. Overall the Blacks weren't as good as they would have liked to be, especially considering that only 3 men breached double figures, albeit to each score half-centuries.
