                            Vipers won by 52 runs.

Two things cost the Crusaders this match.

1. That Boland/Blunder second innings partnership. Just set them too much to chase really. If they've knocked Blunder over for a duck they would've won.

2. Torres and Verigotta taking 4 wickets - 3 of them batsmen - between them for fuck all runs. Their fifth bowler is meant to be a glaring weakness guys; it was a massive strength for them here.


In saying that, pushing the Vipers so close at The Snake Pit - and taking two points of them - has announced the Crusaders as premiership contenders, IMO.
