Perhaps Sir Richard insists on opening with Chatters for old time's sake.Lol all good then mate, I've been on shift the last few nights and just returned to the world of the living and realised Chatfield was opening for me.
It's noticeable that when a side batting second loses in this tournament, they usually seem to be ahead of the run-rate needed but get bowled out with several overs left - not sure how often that happens in reality. (Though the lines don't quite seem to work here, since WI scored 162, but the relative positions look right - they were bowled out 12 runs behind with 6 overs left).

Well, that close win by South Africa was enough to eliminate England & a hard-charging Asia A, KK's ROW team is the only team outside of the top 6 that can make it from here. We now move into the final round, however all of these games are still important because they will have a big outcome on how the top 6 looks heading into the finals series.Round 11
Aus v Aus A - Bellerive Oval
Eng v Asia - Riverside Ground
Ind v ROW - Kotla
