Opened for the Western Eagles didn't open his account until the 19th ball he faced then proceeded to hit 205 off 118 balls, 20 x 4 and 10 x 6.

Did you stay til the end?
Yes and cried all the way home. Unfortunately The Western Eagles attack is very, very thin. With a limit of six overs for Spencer Johnson it further reduced the effectiveness of the attack. It was most probably a case of who ever won the toss was in the best position. The winner of the toss was always going to send the opposition in. There was a little bit in the wicket early but then settled down to the normal road. It was good to see the Redback's coach come out and watch a fair bit of the match..........most probably the first R'backs coach to come and watch a match at Henley for about five years.
