When the target read 132, the chase looked routine. Two-and-a-bit overs later, Mon Repos were 7 for 4 and the conversation in the dugout had moved from strategy to snacks.
Annandale’s Ram Slam final win was a study in how quickly a chase can come apart. The first phase belongs to confidence. The second to chaos. The third to acceptance usually with a bag of chips.
Final score: 68 all out. They chased it, just not in the right direction.
