Match Report
I deliberately left the writing of this report for a whole week, in the hope that the haunting memories would have subsided sufficiently for me to have an objective viewpoint of what happened. Alas the wounds are still as deep. Having groveled our way to 131 from 40 overs, we fought our way back into the game, through fine bowling from Danglers and Pommie and then dropped every chance that came our way to throw it away.
