Ken seemed a little stilted today. Choppy, even, at some points. And he did mis-speak – he referred to “our champs”, and I said to myself, “Not a one!”
Greg was canny on the DDs. I could see Ben doing his hardest, trying to at least halve Greg’s score. Incidentally, when they were introduced, Ben’s velvet jacket kinda caught my eye (and not in a vaguely positive way).
Overall, though, a good game!

Greg had one of the best-played games all season. Kudos to him. For the second day in a row, we saw a back-to-back daily double. It’s the first time that two consecutive days this season, we saw a back-to-back daily double.
