What a difference a few days make. Bowled out for 66 last Thursday, they have managed to scrap their way up to 181. Topping was the constant throughout the Innings, and was out there unbeaten in the end. With his top score in List A T20's, it's a day that he will certainly remember. Only the 10 minutes between the two innings with all the time that's been lost. So please join me at 1:05pm for the Knights Innings Match State: Innings Break
