I don't know Harris's numbers this season thus far but they can't be good.

Close....

Marcuss's Saffa players doing the business with the ball.

Batting has really underperformed for Marcuss in this comp, Khawaja aside.

 

[Howe_zat]

Vettori rescuing it, he can't be used to that sort of thing.

284 to win. Should be tight.

Btw,what's up with everyone these days posting from invisible mode?

It's just the way the cool kids are these days.

Tendulkar with a matchwinning 4th innings ton? Odd.

 

[Cevno]

Sachin to deliver here.

Told You.

WAG!!!!

 

[Jarquis]

Partnership with Pothas killed me

 

[Noble One]

Tendulkar WAG! Did anyone tip my team to win this? Second round in a row we have caused the upset.

Butterworth has saved his spot after his first innings haul. Pleased that after four rounds I have only needed to make one change.
