Piss off. You are losing still in the death overs. :P Paritosh and Sherazi take up the charge in the 30's and Lidgerwood/ Permaul to finish it off.

Yeah I know, I have said like 10 times I have no chance of winning. Paritosh will take a few wickets easy, and you will be into my tail.

That is the 50 partnership (50 runs, 72b, 2x4, 0x6) SR:69.44

Done the job I need them to do :)

28.2   W   Lidgerwood to Hafeez : Hafeez tried to tuck the ball behind square, but got a leading edge straight back to Lidgerwood.
F. Hafeez c & b. P. Lidgerwood 30 (48b 1x4 0x6) SR:62.50

Tulip  :'(

Just looked at the over comparison before that wicket and I was 4/102 and Shaggy was 4/108 but that wicket puts me out of the match now :'(

What the sunflower? May as well have a go ::)

16 dots in a row ::)

[roo boys!]

Furlonge is playing one of the grittiest innings I have seen for a long time.

32.6   4   Paritosh to Furlonge : Magnificent! Half a stride down the pitch and Furlonge sends the ball flying over Lidgerwood at midwicket much to the dismay of Paritosh. One bounce before the rope means 4 to the total.


Bang :)

[Alex7089]

Furlonge out :(
Trouble now.

[roo boys!]

34.3   W   Paritosh to Furlonge : A wild slog induces a top edge that swirls in the air before being pouched by Morrison
R. Furlonge c H. Morrison b. D. Paritosh 29 (57b 3x4 0x6) SR:50.88

Oh no :'(

Ah well, I was never going to win.

Just looking at the over comparison, those wickets are really killing me.
35.2   4   Sherazi to Chiba : A wonderful back foot punch through the covers, supreme timing on that and the ball races to the boundary.

Well, he is a Shaggy :P

Paritosh only 1 over to come...
37.2   W   Sherazi to Chiba : [catch] There's an edge! Morrison gets his hands to it but can't hold on and Stephens shows superb anticipation and reflexes to quickly grab the looping ball. A very relieved Sherazi joins them to celebrate.
S. Chiba c T. Stephens b. F. Sherazi 10 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR:90.91

Ahhhh flower me. Good game Shaggy, we should really play a series, we are so evenly matched :)

37.4   .   Sherazi to McLaughlin : [dropped] McLaughlin hits a leading edge and there is confusion on the field as Kortlang and Sherazi both shout "MINE". The players collide and the ball spills from Kortlang's hands, with McLaughlin looking on with amusement.

I could have used a dropped catch a bit earlier ::)
