POST-MATCH REACTION
Promotion hopes are fading - Willey
Northants all-rounder David Willey told 大象传媒 Radio Northampton:
"I certainly wasn't expecting it but luckily I managed to get 64 and two five-fors which is fantastic.
"The guys have played really well all season and will look back on a couple of games where we should've picked up extra points.
"It's unfortunate we've left it to other results to fall our way and it looks like they haven't."
