Amazing All-rounders carry Black home

A fast bowling masterclass from Zac Gelman and Blake Donald, as well as a scintilating second innings century from the latter, saw an understrength CW Black home against the hosts.

Gelman and Richards combine

Fabulous all-rounders yet again

With a rare top order failure for the Black OD outfit, the lower order stepped up to put on a competitive total, before spinner Richards cleaned up the Indian outfit for a hard fought win.

 

[Nate]

Top-shelf win by Black. Gelman and the spinners were immense. Good stabilising effort with the bat by Smith also.
Bit annoyed with my bowling, but happy to take two catches.

 

[ash chaulk]

top win!

Games ETA mid afternoon Thursday 10th.

 

[pasag]

Sweet win. Incidentally, I'll need a full ****** of armoured guards for the remainder of the tour after comments I inadvertently made about Tamil Nadu captain, Subramaniam Badrinath's mother. Soz.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That's the least of our worries after notorious troublemaker Blake Donald was caught with 7 illegitmate Indian children in our hotel.

 

[Nate]

Playing one game from four = ghey.

Go Blacks.
