he does with this one! The ball flies off the bat and over the top of mid-on. The fielder puts one hand up in vain as the ball rockets to the rope. Knights win

Full commentary
In the first game of the season the Knights picked up a win against the Warriors and I guess that it's only fitting as the second half of the season starts, that they do the same.
Carmichael, Calitz and Adair reached fifty, and made sure that when wickets fell, they always steadied the ship to keep the required rate under control.
Robbie Millar ended up with three wickets for the Warriors, although they came at a cost. Which meant that they couldn't build up any pressure on the Knights batters.
The three wicket win gives the Knights four points and they pull further away from their Northern neighbours. The Warriors still sit bottom of the table and are still winless.
Sam Topping has just been announced as the player of the match, hopefully that will make up some of the disappointment for losing the match.
So thanks for following along today, it's been a great day of cricket here at Bready. Hopefully you'll join me next week as the penultimate round of games in this years IP50 take place.
Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye for now
