Hence, he wasn’t entirely surprised with the eventual 41-run victory in the low-scoring second-round match in the Regional Four-Day Cricket Championship at the 3Ws Oval on Saturday, with a day to spare.

“We had a plan to defend 107 runs and the guys stuck to the game plan and executed it very well. That was the key to our success,” Trotman told NATIONSPORT in a post-match interview. (EZS)
