MLC 2024, Match 6: LA Knight Riders vs Seattle Orcas| Captains’ Corner
The batters took the responsibility tonight. The intensity in the field was the difference in the field. Luckily we have got a quality group of local players. Ricky hasn’t played cricket for two months so I was really happy for him to come in. I asked Quinny if they can finish the game in the 18th, he told me it’s actually quite tricky. But I saw Quinny was in control and as long as the guys are in there, you have got full confidence.
Heinrich Klaasen(Seattle Orcas Captain) said post-match
We got off to a decent start but they bowled well in the middle overs. But I think we didn’t play a good game of cricket. Something to go back and think about. Every game, it’s getting better to bat in the second innings. We will try to take positives from here and keep our head high as this is a short tournament.
