Get to tea 5 down and think yeah the draw is nailed on... then Huges strikes a double wicket maiden just after and it’s all up in the air again!
20 overs left in the match, Jack Russell to shepherd the tail, 3 wickets left. Tense finish!
Russell did a fine job, farming the strike and grabbing runs when he could.
And then fell with the new ball due and 10 overs left!!! 2 wickets to survive 60 balls...
Small and Fraser left everything they could, blocked the rest and added just 6 runs in 10 overs to secure the draw!
0-0 with 4 to play.
A very good game. Positives outweigh the negatives by a mile.
Main niggles that really need looking at - pitch deterioration (visuals and gameplay); bowling changes (4 man attack, didn’t use either of 2 batting all rounders even when I smashed their spinner around on final day); field settings (much too defensive especially when bowling 4th inns for the win).
Current build the best of any build of any of the 3 games by a distance. Hopefully the remaining issues can be resolved
