From the Pavilion

[Fletch74]

My bowlers are restricting them, but are not taking the wickets.... Have already had a dropped catch!!

End of over 4 (2 runs) - Wardie's Warriors(10-0). 209 runs required from 36 overs. RR 2.50 RRR 5.81
H. Beard 8 (15b) , R. Rigby 2 (9b) , T. Tozer 2-0-5-0

[BratPack]

End of over 4 (3 runs) - The Brat Pack(21-0). 224 runs required from 36 overs. RR 5.25 RRR 6.22
R. Hutton 12 (18b) , T. Chancellor 4 (7b) , G. Merkel 2-0-7-0

A solid if not spectacular start to the chase

4.1 6 Faunce to Chancellor : Chancellor uses brute strength to smash the ball several rows into the crowd. You don't get guns like that cherry picking.

Now that's more like it  ;D

[Fletch74]

6.3 W Graham to Rigby : Graham released the ball with a horizontal seam, causing it to leap up and Rigby was unable to keep his shot down. The ball flew straight to Bitwott at mid on who holds on to the catch.
R. Rigby c K. Bitwott b. E. Graham 5 (14b 0x4 0x6) SR:35.71

Finally, a break through...

[Fletch74]

And the openers are gone... 2-19 ;D

7.2 W Tozer to Beard : Wide, but he's dragged it on! He was looking to flay that away through the covers, but a lack of footwork has caused his downfall and the off stump is disturbed.
H. Beard b. T. Tozer 13 (28b 1x4 0x6) SR:46.43

[BratPack]

6.1 W Faunce to Hutton : [runout] I can't believe in a race between Hutton and 16 trillion other sperm, he won. He looks as though he was poured into his clothes and forgot to say "When". Too big, too slow, too short of his ground.
R. Hutton run out (G. Merkel) 17 (22b 3x4 0x6) SR:77.27

Flower!  :'(

6.2 W Faunce to Swift : Swift plays all around a straight delivery from Faunce and the stumps are scattered.
T. Swift b. E. Faunce 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

Double Flower!  :'(  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

[8-6 Suited]

End of over 7 (1 run) - Tickle My Timber(18-2). 301 runs required from 33 overs. RR 2.57 RRR 9.12
S. Saad 0 (7b) , T. Willoughby 6 (14b) , R. Christensen 4-0-9-1

Alex ended up getting to 212, giving me the target of 213 for the win. So far:

End of over 7 (2 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(31-0). 182 runs required from 33 overs. RR 4.43 RRR 5.52
F. Davis 10 (21b) , R. Donfeld 19 (22b) , O. Paterson 4-1-13-0

Not a bad start, at least no wickets have been lost yet

[BratPack]

End of over 7 (1 run) - Tickle My Timber(18-2). 301 runs required from 33 overs. RR 2.57 RRR 9.12
S. Saad 0 (7b) , T. Willoughby 6 (14b) , R. Christensen 4-0-9-1


-.-

And I thought I had it bad..


8.6 W Tabart to Reid : Ooh that's plumb. Plumber than Mr Plum the plumber eating a plum pudding. Umpire has no hesitation.
R. Reid lbw b. N. Tabart 5 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR:41.67

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[CrowsFan]

5 runs from my last 3 overs is not good considering I need 5 each over!

[Boomz]

Have them 2/35 in the 11th over...

[BratPack]

End of over 10 (1 run) - The Brat Pack(45-3). 200 runs required from 30 overs. RR 4.50 RRR 6.67
G. Hazelwood 0 (2b) , T. Chancellor 18 (24b) , A. Carter 1-0-1-0

I'm actually quite level in the over comparison. I just need a partnership

[Fletch74]

Stupid bloody keeper, allows a bye, when he celebrates unnecessarily.. :(

Dunn to Whitney : That one has bounced up higher than expected and seems to have taken the edge. Everyone goes up from behind the stumps, and the bowler is running down to join the celebrations as the keeper throws the ball high into the air, but the umpire's finger stays down. The batsmen scamper through for a cheeky single as the umpire signals byes

[BratPack]

12.1 W Tabart to Chancellor : [Doosra] Chancellor gets a thin edge and Duncan gleefully accepts the chance.
T. Chancellor c M. Duncan b. N. Tabart 24 (30b 1x4 1x6) SR:80.00

FOR FLOWER'S SAKE!  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

[CrowsFan]

Over comparison between me and alex after 13 overs:

Alex: 52-1
Me: 56-0

Pretty close...

16.3   .   Waqas to Coetzee : Ouch!... Coetzee has copped one which may prevent certain activities this evening. Waqas and Dhrtiman clearly feel sorry for him as shown by the glowing smiles on their faces.
