What a disappointing end to our Standard Bank Pro20 campaign. We just did not play good cricket at all and the Warriors were the better side on the night.

    We only have ourselves to blame. I thought our guys bowled really well and our fielding was pretty good to restrict the Warriors to 121 and to be honest we really should have got those runs.

    It has been the story of our Pro20 season really. We just haven’t scored enough runs. Our top four hasn’t fired all season and we have battled to get someone to bat all the way through our innings.

What a disappointing end to a good game of cricket. I really thought we had done enough to win the game but at the moment we are struggling to get over the line.

We are putting ourselves in winning positions but not finishing things off.

All credit must go to the Warriors for winning the match but while Robin Peterson and myself were batting, although I did not think the game was in the bag, I did think we were in a very strong position.

Even when I got out, which did no help matters, I still though the other batters would get the job done.

We’re really disappointed about the loss against the Warriors. Our batting didn’t go that well on a really good wicket. I thought Nicky Boje bowled a really good spell and probably won them the game to be honest. I thought we bowled okay but Justin Kreusch and Davy Jacobs batted really nicely.
We were probably outplayed on Friday to be honest. In hindsight, we probably should have batted first. It’s just that we haven’t batted second in this tournament. We just thought it would be good to try and have a go at batting second.

We let ourselves down in the Standard Bank Pro 20 loss against the Eagles at Boland Park.

We did not start well, and then resurrected things to an extent.

But we did not capitalize well and did not finish strongly enough.

The regular loss of wickets was a factor. It was a stop-start affair that we need to improve on.

In fact, during the last two matches we made the same batting mistakes by losing regular wickets.

We should have added another twenty to thirty runs and we need to set the record straight with the bat in our final league match against the Warriors on Friday.

It was a very rewarding victory after a disappointing batting display.

We got off to a slow start and found the going tough on a very slow wicket. The past few days it was extremely hot in the Mother City and we finished twenty to thirty runs short of a competitive total on a challenging deck.

I was happy with the way Justin Ontong and I resurrected the innings.

The bowling attack of the Dolphins did extremely well and it was only in the latter part of the innings that I managed to get lucky and deposit a few over the boundary ropes to push us to 116/7.

Our Standard Bank Pro20 match on Sunday against the Nashua Titans wasn’t a great performance. We let ourselves down very poorly with the ball and our fielding was really not good.

To leak 140 runs in 12 overs and then take only one wicket was not great, so there are a few things we have to work on. But you get your bad days in Pro20 cricket and now we just have to make sure that we fix the problems in the bowing and fielding department and get it right.

It may not have been a five star performance with the bat, but we still walk away with a bonus point and a win against a Lions-team that fielded some match-winners in our Standard Bank Pro 20-series match at Newlands on Friday.

I thought we lost our way in the middle-order and if it was not for Herschelle and Richard Levi, we might have struggled a bit.

Richard hit the ball beautifully to get us to a competitive 179, but we might still have been twenty runs short.
