Player of the Match
Lloyd Pope | Adelaide Strikers
Good to get the first one (win) on the board. Everyone chipped in really well on a tough wicket and I think D Arcy batted really well. Just tried to do the basics right and that is what Boyce and I chat about. Really happy to put a performance on the board in front of the home ground. I am just trying to keep it even (talking about the social media buzz) and take it as it comes.
