How to retrieve rows inside tbody tag

I have the following DOM:

<table id="abcde">
<thead>
<tr></tr>
<tr></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<div>
<ul>
<li class ="view"></li>
<li class ="delete"><a href="???">delete</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</td>
<td>
<a href="???">known search string</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

I need to do the following:
1. find the row of the "known search string"
2. click the delete hyperlink for that row

I have tried using this to know the number of rows that exists:
HtmlTable tTbl = Find.ById<HtmlTable>("abcde");
Log.Writeline(tTbl.Rows.Count.ToString());

but it always returns an exception error, so I was not able to proceed.

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
