“Nuffle looked kindly upon the cricketers granting them a satisfying first victory. The cricketers batted first and some behaviour from the opposition coach that would be classed as "against the spirit of the game" in any cricket match soured the atmosphere in the second power play. Captain Straussy and Tim Bresnan led the fightback with some fine bludgeoning blows but the team only managed to post a below target score of 0-0.

In the second innings the opposition batted cautiously but were soon down after some surprise pace from Stuart Broad. Mistakes in the opposition middle order were exploited by the bowling unit and some critical defensive fielding from MVP Owen Morgan led to a turnover in the bowling powerplay. The fielding team smelt blood and Wicket 7 saw Graeme Swann shut out the match with chants of "Swann, Swann will tear you apart... again" ringing through the arena until the end of the game.”
