Thought we stood a chance in the FP after the group stage, no way we were going to catch up with that score

Went to the game. Bopara was simply breathtaking, he took us apart. Its no disgrace going out to a knock like that and I cant really think of much we could have done different. I dont think we have the firepower even with Ackerman having a good day, to get to 350 so I kind of knew it was over at the half way point. We would have probably had a better chance if we had batted first but c'est la vie.

Boyce looked really good though. First time I've had a decent look at him. Not sure about Malik, he looked a bit wayward.
