Top knocks from both the openers, unfortunately Cuss had to get out in the last over to ruin his average. Would've been 375 if he remained not-out, now it's a mere 187.5.

Hopefully we'll be able to defend that, although the wicket is a belter, and the team I am currently playing against scored 328 last week (chasing 343). Gillespie took 8-30 last week, but none of my other bowlers are particularly good.

EDIT: Gillespe gets two wickets in his first three balls.
Ended up winning comfortably. They collapsed from 152-3 to 161 all out in 34 overs. Owen took 4-29 (7), Oddy 3-36 (10) and Gillespie 2-22 (5), to win by 173 runs. Owen's 4-29 included a hat-trick, the fourth I've seen in three matches. Excellent form shown by everyone today to remain at no. 1. Owen was MotM, though Cuss should've got it for his 160 IMO.
