Full commentary

The Cobras bowled well, made an early inroad with Petersen, but it was the homeboys day

And it was an absolute pleasure to watch McKenzie play a captains knock to win the game

Its been a great summer and what a fantastic way to bring it to a close

everybody has a great reason to party, we'll be back next summer!
