Ironic that Sean Ervine's only international century came in a massive run chase but couldn't seal victory, and over 12 years later little brother Craig scores his first international century but this time a winning run chase :4: :6:

Not often do our batsman do a job for us. But today they turned up. Kiddos to then.

Even Chigs who looked like wrecking it at one stage managed a big over contribution

Keeping wickets in hand is key atm .....
While chasing 300 and trying to win a game nahhh it doesn't compute. Run rate just moving higher already 6.83.

And yeah like you put it Spits those two are world class. There in lays the difference.
MOTM for a match winning unbeaten century for Craig Ervine :4: :6:

Okay so he made me eat my words but couldn't be more glad to do so. Call him world class when his average gets to 40.
