20/20 Cricket at Newlands

A few friends, my wife and I decided to go watch the cricket last night at Sahara Park Newlands in Cape Town.

The game was the local (to Cape Town) Cape Corbra’s vs The Warriors, unfortunately the locals didn’t win… although we bowled ok.. our batting was more like we were batting in a Test Series and not 20/20.
