I'll happily take 168. Absolutely. Yes, Birmingham have the talent to chase this (and maybe even with a lot to spare). But if they do, well done to them. It's a score. It's a chase in a final. We've got a cracking attack.
I can understand why Birmingham gave Milne that third set up front. They wanted rid of Stirling or Vince, and he was dominating us. But when he failed to get a wicket, it cost them in the second half - and especially at the end.
Definitely a bad move to give Pennington the last 5. Moeen should have bowled the penultimate 5 himself and given Milne the last.
Whatever happened to that dire weather forecast that they put up yesterday, They were predicting that they would struggle to get both games in!
It rained almost throughout the first match. But unlike longer forms of cricket, they generally just crack on in the 100. It needs to be really heavy to stop, which fortunately it never was.
