M. Abdul-Wahad 1 (1b) , N. Babb 6 (5b) , R. Erasmus 1-0-7-0

Better not lose.

[roo boys!]

End of over 36 (3 runs) - Roo Boys!(197-1) RR 5.47
W. Makinson 3 (9b) , M. Beattie 94 (103b) , P. Sayers 8-1-40-0

Speed it up a bit..

36.2   .   McBourne to Beattie : [great fielding] A brilliant cover drive but it was fielded even more brilliantly by Kansal who dived full stretch to his left to stop a certain four runs.
36.1   .   McBourne to Beattie : [great fielding] Kansal moves in quickly to cut off any chance of a single.

Stopping Beattie's hundred :'( Meanie.
36.6   W   McBourne to Beattie : Fuller length delivery outside the off stump. Beattie drives away from his body with no real foot-work. It looked like the bat hit the ground - hard to say if there was an edge involved.
M. Beattie c D. Allen b. S. McBourne 95 (108b 8x4 2x6) SR:87.96

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! >:( Both openers fell in the 90's :'(

[roo boys!]

Flowering collapses -.-

I still can't believe my best batsman got out already!

37.3   W   Sayers to Makinson : That's plumb! Makinson is checking the edge of his bat as if to indicate that he got something on it, but the replays show he was nowhere near it. Off you go son!
W. Makinson lbw b. P. Sayers 8 (13b 0x4 0x6) SR:61.54

38.4   W   McBourne to Furlonge : Poor shot from Furlonge. Just short of a length outside off and he attempts to drive well away from his body, but only succeeds in feathering one through to Allen for a regulation catch.
R. Furlonge c D. Allen b. S. McBourne 4 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR:80.00

What the flower?! >:( IHML. 2 outstanding summary batsmen make a combined 12 runs -.-
38.6   W   McBourne to Hafeez : [stumped] A poor delivery from McBourne but even poorer footwork by Hafeez. Quick as a flash Allen has whipped off the bails and he's out. The fielding side chuckle like mischievous schoolboys as Hafeez trudges back to the pavilion.
F. Hafeez st D. Allen b. S. McBourne 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR:66.67

OH MY flowerING GOD! -_______- Lost 5 wickets in the space of 4 overs.


These two are getting it back together, but when I was 0/180 I didn't think Ali would be coming in at 5/210 ::)

End of over 42 (7 runs) - Roo Boys!(226-5) RR 5.38
A. Cullen 8 (8b) , R. Ali 9 (11b) , G. Doolan 6-0-25-0

Mind you, Cullen is Exp/Exp batting :P

End of over 43 (7 runs) - Roo Boys!(233-5) RR 5.42
A. Cullen 9 (9b) , R. Ali 15 (16b) , W. Hyde 7-0-37-0

A. Cullen 11 (12b) , R. Ali 18 (19b) , G. Doolan 7-0-30-0

No time for singles ::)

[roo boys!]

Site down! RARRRGHH!

Back now :)
44.4   4   Hyde to Cullen : Shot! Elegantly played in front of square leg. It pitched on leg stump and Cullen flicked it for a boundary.
44.3   4   Hyde to Cullen : [misfield] Pulled hard towards deep backward square leg for what should have been no more than a single. Unfortunately, Kansal is dozing off, and he reacts late and fails to prevent the boundary. Wake up!

G. Doolan is tired.

    End of over 45 (9 runs) - Roo Boys!(247-5) RR 5.49
A. Cullen 19 (16b) , R. Ali 19 (21b) , W. Hyde 8-0-46-0

Doolan is tired, spank him!

[MajorLazer]

C. Greene 15 (12b) , L. Rahmann 1 (3b) , N. Price 2-0-15-1

Babb and Abdul-Wahad are out, but it looks like Greene might make a decent score.

[roo boys!]

47.5   W   Doolan to Cullen : Like an unfaithful spouse, Cullen has been sent packing, and Doolan is now telling him in no uncertain terms not to come back!
A. Cullen b. G. Doolan 27 (24b 3x4 0x6) SR:112.50

C'mon Chiba!

End of over 48 (7 runs) - Roo Boys!(265-6) RR 5.52
R. Ali 28 (30b) , S. Chiba 1 (1b) , G. Doolan 9-0-44-1

48.5   .   Hyde to Ali : [dropped] Allen is furious with himself for missing a relatively straight-forward edge behind. Hyde is somewhat less pleased.

;) SCORE SOME RUNS GODDAMN IT!

End of over 49 (4 runs) - Roo Boys!(269-6) RR 5.49
S. Chiba 3 (3b) , R. Ali 30 (34b) , W. Hyde 10-0-54-0

Pathetic over. Better smash it this last one.

STOP HITTING SINGLES! We need boundaries FFS.

End of over 50 (6 runs) - Roo Boys!(275-6) RR 5.50
R. Ali 32 (36b) , S. Chiba 7 (7b) , G. Doolan 10-0-50-1

Pathetic last over ::)

Ah well, 275 on an Uneven is OK. After a 180 run opening partnership though, would have expected more ::)

S. Mushangazike 0 (6b) , S. Parsonage 0 (0b) , T. Stevenson 1-1-0-0

Great start by Stevenson!

1.3   1   Qasim to Mushangazike : [misfield] Jaseam puts a foot out but can't manage to stop the ball. Perhaps he should try using his hands next time?

There goes my chances of getting Mushy for a duck :P

Stevenson to Mushy :D

I think Mushy wins...for now ;)
4.2   6   Stevenson to Mushangazike : Stevenson briefly had the batsman in two minds with that delivery. He didn't know whether to hit him for four or six!

End of over 5 (6 runs) - Frankston XI(16-1). 260 runs required from 45 overs. RR 3.20 RRR 5.78
S. Mushangazike 11 (19b) , D. Campbell 2 (5b) , T. Stevenson 3-1-7-1

5.2   4   Qasim to Mushangazike : Half-volley. Punished.
5.5   4   Qasim to Mushangazike : [misfield] Crashed away to the boundary where Jaseam bends down to field the ball and lets it run straight through his fingers. My son has better hand to eye co-ordination, and he's 5!
