Such a good and important win. In the end a number of players made big contributions. Byrom’s knock in the first innings ensured we didn’t have to follow on. Ingram and Root batted brilliantly and a real shame Root didn’t get the century but his batting average will be boosted along with his confidence.

Having Neser for the season will make such a difference. He really is a fine bowler. Hogan is still bowling well. It would be a great send off if we can win promotion before he retires.
