Perrin to Sky Sports: It felt pretty brilliant, to be fair. I feel like it's one of them. It's not every day you get to find yourself in that state of flow and in the zone, and when you're there, it's just stay in the present and taking every ball as they come. [Family] ACE gave them the offices, so there's about 20 of them piled in. They've brought all their Jamaican food as well, so I bet they're having a great time. Watch out for the loud auntie, too. She might have had a few. You could probably hear her when I was batting! I'm not thinking a lot when I'm in a state of mind like that. I'm typically looking at taking every ball as it comes. There was a time when the keeper turned to me and went, 'Have you thought about your hundred yet?' and I was like, 'What, as in the competition?' Then I was like, 'Oh no, the hundred.' That was the first time I glanced up at my score and I thought, 'Ooh, this is going alright actually.' [Brook one ball faster] One ball? Damn. I'd better hit the gym so I can send those sixes a bit further.
Phew! You don't often see such ballistic scores in knockout stages! Perrin lit up the ground with her pyrotechnics and regaled the crowd with a marvellous hundred. Everyone chipped in with the bat and didn't decelerate one bit right till the end. Not much to speak about on the bowling front. A sorry-looking scorecard where everyone was dealt with severely, looking out of sorts and somewhat shell-shocked in the face of the Perrin storm
