Anyone who thinks this game is over before its over is kidding themselves....
I remember back to the 05/06 season in B Grade St. Andrews and Merlo fought out a tough 3 days of cricket but at the end St Andrews looked to have the game in the bag needing only 27 runs with 6 wickets in hand. We ended up losing the last 6 for 15 runs.
So anyone who thinks this game is over is kidding themselves - the game is very much up fro grabs and is there for taking its just whoever wants to stand up and take it. Finals Pressure does wierd things to crickers, even very good and talented cricketers!!!
I still have nightmares about that game!!!

Watched both days, very entertaining and tough cricket.
Just a few observations.
At least a dozen catches went down, mainly in the slips cordon from both sides. Some costly ones as well.
Kev Craddock great innings for St Marys, probaly his best and most important innings ever.
Thought Jolley let St Marys off the hook. Why he didnt bring back on Scotty Whernham at the end to clean up the tail straight away was a little strange. St Marys got maybe 50 more than they should have.
Gavin Tapner showed why he is one of the most valuable players in the comp for the past ten years. Great knock.
Just to finish off. For one particular St Andrews players sake, they would want to win. Thought his celebration was way over the top when they passed St Marys. It was great to win first innings (and thats all it was), and sure celebrate but that was too much.
Looking forward to next week. First hour will set the tone .
