Player of the Match
Bjorn Fortuin | Paarl Royals
It was on the slower side which is generally what you expect here. Didn’t expect it to be that slow. We’re quite diverse as a group. We’ve got Rooty bowling off spin, myself left-arm and Mujeeb with mystery spin.
We’ve set ourselves up nicely for the second half of the comp. Over the past few seasons I’ve been guilty of searching a bit too much and being loose.
