J. Johnstone 0 (1b) , D. Clements 10 (9b) , B. O'Rourke 4-0-45-1



Not too bad a total given its a sticky pitch. Likely to be very hard considering the opposition I am facing though however too defend.

     End of over 20 (7 runs) - Hillly's Heroics(292-2) RR 14.60
Q. Bruce 3 (1b) , S. Ngilu 18 (11b) , P. Ray 4-0-50-1

[Bazinga]

Out for 96 dammit  >:(

19.3 W Johnston to Morton : Morton has gone for a massive swipe, but has only managed to toe the ball in the air straight to Livera at mid-on.
J. Morton c G. Livera b. T. Johnston 96 (43b 8x4 3x6) SR:223.26

Quick fire 50 from Robinson to end the innings ..

That is 50 runs for Robinson (50 runs, 18b 8x4 0x6) SR:277.78

End of over 20 (20 runs) - Bazinga(279-3) RR 13.95
B. Cook 4 (1b) , H. Robinson 51 (19b) , T. Johnston 4-0-70-1

[roo boys!]

19.3   W   Naved to Kelly : Great bowling as Naved entices Kelly into a flash outside the off stump, the faintest of nicks and comfortably collected by Cullen. Rush of blood to the head for Kelly and he knows it.
A. Kelly c A. Cullen b. R. Naved 42 (26b 5x4 1x6) SR:161.54
19.2   1   Naved to Gorman : [dropped] That was really a half chance, but good teams take those. Gorman chips down the track and tries to take Naved downtown over long-off boundary but succeeds only in lofting him high in the air. Jaseam running back from mid-off had it covered well but drops it after doing all the hard work in reaching it.
19.1   W   Naved to Martinez : Attempted paddle through midwicket but he gets a leading edge and the ball loops back to a grateful Naved.
C. Martinez c & b. R. Naved 20 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR:181.82

Aww :(

Jaseam dropped like 4 ::)


End of over 20 (5 runs) - The Brat Pack(176-6) RR 8.80
E. Cain 3 (2b) , S. Gorman 2 (2b) , R. Naved 4-0-30-3

Par score for a hard IMO. Game on.

0.3   W   Sodumo to Lochner : [catch] Got him! Pushes it through outside off stump, Lochner doesn't transfer his weight at all and his tentative poke provides an edge which carries safely to Srimal at first slip.
J. Lochner c K. Srimal b. A. Sodumo 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR:66.67
Happy with the start, it will be a close one.

End of over 3 (13 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(45-0). 27 runs required from 17 overs. RR 15.00 RRR 1.59
R. Knight 25 (11b) , N. McEvoy 19 (8b) , L. Koothrappally 2-0-29-0

2 more overs hopefully :)

[Alex7089]

1.4   W   Srimal to Dempster : [catch] Ooh, Dempster is driving without a licence, and he pays the penalty as he nicks it straight into the hands of Collins.
D. Dempster c A. Collins b. K. Srimal 2 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR:40.00
Can't believe that :o
W   Srimal to Darke : [catch] Short of a good length delivery on the stumps, Darke makes room and takes a swing. The ball clips the top edge and balloons up to mid-on.
S. Darke c W. Shagmeister b. K. Srimal 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
On a hatty, didn't get it.

Handy start ;)

[Alex7089]

4.4   W   Sodumo to Chamberlain : [catch] Terrific ball that moved away just a touch from Chamberlain, drawn forward into a drive, and it took a thin outside edge to a diving Collins behind the stumps.
L. Chamberlain c A. Collins b. A. Sodumo 1 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR:20.00
4 wickets, all passed fielding checks :P
