34.6   W   Howell to Z. Kalil : [catch] Oh my ... what a soft dismissal! The ball stopped a touch on Z. Kalil who was on the back foot and he ended up chipping it straight to cover. Tame way to get out. Howell can't believe his luck.
Z. Kalil c C. Young b. H. Howell 23 (36b 2x4 0x6) SR:63.89
36.1   W   Howell to Mahmood : [catch] Edged and out! Caught rather easily in the end. Scott moved slightly to his right and watched the ball drop nicely into his gloves.
K. Mahmood c D. Scott b. H. Howell 9 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR:90.00
      That is 5 wickets for Howell!
36.2   W   Howell to Musa : [catch] Howell strikes! The ball pitches outside the off stump and moves away, with a hint of reverse swing. Musa goes for the drive and gets the edge to Scott behind the wicket.
K. Musa c D. Scott b. H. Howell 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
      A hattrick for Howell!

I love split over hat-tricks. In fact, the T20 last night provided myself with one via Ablett.

Half of my team is cap/cap 19yo's.  That kinda helps a bit ;)

End of over 30 (15 runs) - Roo Boys!(137-6). 101 runs required from 10 overs. RR 4.57 RRR 10.10
L. Quinn 40 (56b) , R. Zhakata 37 (50b) , V. Wood 7-0-39-3

This is getting ridiculous! Both these batters are poor/reas and I can't get them out >:( >:( >:(

[valkorum]

You still got plenty of runs to play with

[CrowsFan]

Yeah I know, but figured that considering I had them 6 for 68 I would get them out rather quickly and boost NRR.
Finally broke the partnership now :)
End of over 31 (3 runs) - Roo Boys!(140-7). 98 runs required from 9 overs. RR 4.52 RRR 10.89

The Matchbox Matadors won by 61 runs

End of over 40 (2 runs) - Roo Boys!(176-8). 62 runs required from 0 overs. RR 4.40 RRR 0.00
G. Bryant 7 (13b) , R. Zhakata 56 (78b) , R. Maloney 8-0-27-1

Very disappointed I didn't bowl them out considering I needed just 4 wickets in 24 overs to do it :(

Man of the Match
3. Leon Quinn - RB's guy, took 3 for 46 from 8, and also scored 40 runs from 57 balls
2. Vincent Wood - my guy, took 3 for 43 from 8 and scored 14 runs from 10 balls
1. Rodney Zhakata - the main reason I couldn't get RB out. He scored 56 not out from 78 balls plus took a catch
