And so the Logan Cup winds up for this season with top beating bottom, despite a spirited fightback from the Mountaineers.
Needing a huge total of 407 to win, the Mountaineers gave it a go (and why wouldn’t they). However regular wickets in two significant bursts during the day held them back. Roy Kaia was destructor-in-chief as he got wickets at the top, in the middle and in the tail to the total.
The Rocks dominated both the run-scoring charts and the most wickets. The above mentioned Roy Kaia was the highest run scorer with 374 across 4 innings. His 133 in the first inning against the Rhinos was his best score. With Sikander Raza injured, it is suggested that Kaia may be called up to the national side for the Pakistan series. Tendai Chisoro’s 18 wickets saw him top the wicket table – his best figures were 4-37 against the Eagles.
Comfortably my second favourite domestic competition after the County Champ.
