Pacific were outplayed by this young talented Bangladeshi side as the Pacific reserves ran dry which meant Luke Hollman had to step in as the 22nd squad member.
Some bowlers struggled with the conditions - a strong northerly blowing right down the pitch & not helping the fielders as 4 swirlers went to ground. As Shayne was last, Darren lead admirably & James Gleadow certainly made an early impact with 2 wickets in his 1st over but Tigers consolidated as their 3 & 4 bats retired with 50s. Nevertheless the 10 an over target was kept in chec k despite Shayne Rees' early loss. Rob Allum's dismissal stumped was a setback but while Tempany & hollman were together the target remained in site.
Darren was hitting the ball as hard as ever & was dubbed the rocket man by one of the bowlers who had to take evasive action as Darren threatened to disect him with it. Sadly, 2 outside edges to keeper 1st Tempany & then Hess in the same over & the match as a serious competition was over. At least Luke Hollman was able to record his personal best of 6* to go along with his run out before proceedings ended
Pitch 3 VIII:- James Gleadow, Shayne Rees, Darren Tempany*+, Rob Allum, Justin Hess, David Morahan, Peter Hollman & Luke Hollman
