Presentation
David Hussey "We started slow,didn't we? We need to regroup and play our A game in Jo'burg. We didn't execute our skills well, but full credit to Warriors."

Davey Jacobs is the MoM. He says: "We are very happy with the win. Crowd is always with the band, so it's fun. I am sure there will be a big crowd in on Saturday. Yeah, the second catch was a bit of a TV thing, the first one was better."

What a show. Another favourite side has fallen in the Champions League. Right from the first over, Davey Jacobs has been all over Victoria. With the bat, in the field, with the bowling changes. He will surely be the Man of the Match, and because he is the captain too, it means I have one interview fewer to transcribe

Trevor Chesterfield has spoken like the true football-hater I met in Sri Lanka earlier this year. "Football songs in the crowd?" he asks "Where's the security. Throw them out. Disgraceful"

Tim: "Well I don't know who this guy Maxwell is but clearly he's not up to standard for this tournament. Fielded badly, didn't bowl and failed with the bat. Still I guess thats what you get with White, Bravo and Taylor all out." Tend to agree

16.2
W
Theron to McKay, OUT, these stumps must be asking for mercy by now! Another yorker that a batsman plays all around. Woodwork splayed on the ground. Crowd can't keep their bums in their seats

CJ McKay b Theron 1 (4m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

Now Ritchie is thinking too much of himself: "Ohh dear, really apologize. It looks like just because of my comment, Boje will not get to bowl his last over!"

  • Jacobs does it all

    Davey Jacobs had one of those games when everything he did turned to gold

  • Jacobs, bowlers help Warriors outplay Victoria

    Davey Jacobs began with a blitz filled with audacious enterprise, followed up with two sensational catches inside the circle and finished off with perceptive bowling changes as Victoria succumbed to a 28-run defeat against Warriors
