From the Pavilion

What is with the ground name Fletch? I know what/who a Jane Doe is (although the point is I don't ;) ) but I don't get it :P

End of over 28 (4 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(127-4). 68 runs required from 22 overs. RR 4.54 RRR 3.09
A. Collins 0 (1b) , W. Shagmeister 19 (31b) , E. Taufel 9-1-44-2

Really need a big effort from Collins here :-\
4 seam bowlers on a dry and they have me in a spot of bother.

Were all your players rested last night?

Yes, is that the reason... You're safe Alex.

Yeah if there is no fatigue to take away from the ratings in the league they will be the same as friendly ratings.

That is what Fletch's alias was in the newspaper column he wrote.

[Alex7089]

Ahhhh, OK. I assume you just like Chevy Chase?
Nice alias BTW ;) Although I would have gone with John Doe. You wrote a column?

End of over 34 (4 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(147-4). 48 runs required from 16 overs. RR 4.32 RRR 3.00
A. Collins 10 (22b) , W. Shagmeister 29 (46b) , S. Ilango 7-0-32-0

This is going to be very close. Shagmeister is the key, please don't go out.

34.4   W   Anderson to Shagmeister : What a wicket that was! Extraordinary, superb, fantastic...Anderson is ecstatic with the amount of turn he got on that delivery.
W. Shagmeister b. E. Anderson 29 (50b 3x4 0x6) SR:58.00
IT IS JUST FREAKY!

End of over 35 (maiden) - Feeling Sheepish(147-5). 48 runs required from 15 overs. RR 4.20 RRR 3.20
P. Jackson 0 (2b) , A. Collins 10 (22b) , E. Anderson 3-1-6-1
Not liking my chances any more.

End of over 36 (5 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(152-6). 43 runs required from 14 overs. RR 4.22 RRR 3.07
M. Pritchard 0 (0b) , A. Collins 12 (24b) , S. Ilango 8-0-37-1

Getting interesting now :) The Giant killer is at work...

End of over 36 (5 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(152-6). 43 runs required from 14 overs. RR 4.22 RRR 3.07
M. Pritchard 0 (0b) , A. Collins 12 (24b) , S. Ilango 8-0-37-1

I think he has this one. Annoying, 2-2 now...4-0 ratings wise. He really is the Giant Killer!

[Fletch74]

I'm the same with CF. I'm 2-2, but I lead in all the ratings!!

[Alex7089]

End of over 38 (2 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(157-6). 38 runs required from 12 overs. RR 4.13 RRR 3.17
A. Collins 17 (33b) , M. Pritchard 0 (3b) , S. Ilango 9-0-39-1

Speed it up. :-\
Nobody left to score at a decent rate, everything is slow.

[Alex7089]

End of over 40 (5 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(164-6). 31 runs required from 10 overs. RR 4.10 RRR 3.10
M. Pritchard 1 (5b) , A. Collins 23 (43b) , S. Ilango 10-0-44-1

Dunno if I can do this :-\
If I do lose this, I will put it down to Taufel being dropped on 0 before taking part in a 40 run partnership for the last wicket ::)

40.3   W   Anderson to Collins : [catch] It was a hopeless long-hop until Collins pulled it straight to Bryant at square leg - what a mess!
A. Collins c T. Bryant b. E. Anderson 24 (45b 1x4 0x6) SR:53.33
There goes my last hope.

[Alex7089]

End of over 42 (6 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(172-7). 23 runs required from 8 overs. RR 4.10 RRR 2.88
M. Pritchard 6 (10b) , S. Junior 2 (5b) , L. De Blaauw 6-0-22-1

The closer the better I suppose.

[Alex7089]

End of over 43 (5 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(177-7). 18 runs required from 7 overs. RR 4.12 RRR 2.57
M. Pritchard 7 (11b) , S. Junior 6 (10b) , E. Anderson 7-1-18-2

Pritchard has done well today, 3 wickets which could have easily been 4. Bowled economically and now a handy knock. A fair effort in a losing side!

[Fletch74]

You won't lose!!

Edit: I had Masinga take 7 wickets in a losing side...  :-X

[Alex7089]

End of over 44 (1 run) - Feeling Sheepish(178-7). 17 runs required from 6 overs. RR 4.05 RRR 2.83
M. Pritchard 7 (13b) , S. Junior 7 (14b) , L. De Blaauw 7-0-23-1

I find that hard to believe :P

End of over 46 (2 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(183-7). 12 runs required from 4 overs. RR 3.98 RRR 3.00
S. Junior 11 (22b) , M. Pritchard 8 (17b) , L. De Blaauw 8-0-25-1

46.4   W   Anderson to Pritchard : In the zone outside the off stump, from a length and Pritchard seems to be in trance and just pokes at it. Fatal edge. He slams his bat into his pads as he walks off, furious with himself. He's really marching back to the pavilion now.
M. Pritchard c J. Vidur b. E. Anderson 9 (19b 0x4 0x6) SR:47.37
:( Nice win Daz.
47.2   W   De Blaauw to Srimal : That's beautiful. The ball held its line and clean hit the stumps, the bails are currently doing their best bird impersonation.
K. Srimal b. L. De Blaauw 1 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR:25.00
What I said up there.
