Choiseul won the toss and chose to bat first. At this point it became clear that the two U21 stars were pretty good as they set about Bossies opening attack. Some lusty blows along with many well taken singles saw them amass 110 for 0 by the time drinks were taken after 16 overs. Jason Simon then added further runs after the break to bring up his hundred and retired on 101 not out. His fellow opener Junior Alfred then went for 71 skying a catch to Marshall off of the impressive Deans' bowling (1 for 14).
A rally by Bossie then saw wickets fall regularly as several run outs and White (3 for 56), Young (1 for 50) and Mathurin (0-49) tightened things up a bit. Choiseul finishing on 272 for 8. A very demanding total.
With Mathurin and Young opening for Bossie quick runs where required. Disaster struck when Mathurin went for a big one and was caught on the boundary. McIlroy joined Rich but Young went soon after gloving a bouncer to slip. Felix joined Ali next and once more was out cheaply caught at slip. White next in departed without troubling the scorers leaving Bossie on 24 for 4 and facing certain defeat. Scott Marshall was next in but lasted just a few balls, as did Elms both bowled. Joey Wilson then joined Ali and at last some big hitting came to the fore and some boundarys were plundered. After some nice shots Wilson went caught at short midwicket (for 13). Deans was next to the crease and had a beautiful pull for 4. McIlroy continued to put away the bad balls before being bowled, but not before notching up the Bossie high score of 23. Chambers joined Deans and flicked down leg for 4 before being bowled. Last in was Nicol who finished not out on zero when Deans provided a caught and bowled. Bossie ending all out for 66 in a disappointing end of tour performance.
