MLC, 2025, Match 22nd: SFU vs SO| Captains’ Corner
There was a touch tacky. The wicket’s been undercover for a fair bit today. We knew that was going to be the case. I think we had to battle a little bit smarter. Look, to be honest, we didn’t bat too badly. Maybe they bowled really well towards the end of their innings. We probably left a few out there late. Probably things to learn for the next game. [Promote Shepherd or Bartlett up the order] Oh, look, it’s definitely mentioned. Looking back in hindsight, you see Sheph get out there and hit a couple of sixes. But we have got Tim Seifert, a powerful hitter. Hassan Khan’s been going at a 230 strike rate for the tournament. They’re both batters in their own right.
Matthew Short(SFU Captain) said post-match
We had a belief after the first game where we chased 230-odd against MI New York. The beauty about it is we are winning the crunch moments. Hetmyer is doing a good job for us. You never have a perfect game. I would have taken that (160-170) total at the start of the match. Our bowling performance was good, so really happy with that. Could sharpen our fielding a little bit. The management had to make a few decisions at the halfway stage of the tournament. We just backed our management’s decision. So we just tried to play for each other. Need to play as professionals and a professional team.
