More good news from South Africa

Fifteen overs and 4-58 for Robin Peterson today as the Cobras closed in on a win over the Dolphins in South Africa. Dolphins need 109 to win tomorrow with one wicket left, or as you and I would call it, a miracle.

Interestingly, the highly rated Rilee Rossouw tried to hit the perceived dangerman from the attack and Peterson's first two overs went for 15, but he came back strong to take four of the first five wickets, including that of the young left hander. He only made two in the Cobras second dig, but has had an excellent game.

Elsewhere, Shane Watson's unbeaten 90 for Australia keeps his place safe for the time being, while Paul Borrington followed two half centuries with an unbeaten 32 for his club side over in Oz.

Best of all, I took 37 from one over of Andrew Flintoff in Ashes cricket on the Wii (he opened with a wide) and have thus become the only man in history to perform this feat twice, beating my son who did it to me in the subsequent run chase!

If I could only do it in the real thing...

  1. Peakfan, something that I have noticed that may not be such great news and that is our biggest money spinner of the season i.e. our home 20/20 match against Notts on 18th of June clashes with England's World Cup match against Algeria. Hopefully common sense will prevail and we will move our match as there is plenty of scope to do that.
