6.3   W   Waterhouse to Kaushik : I can't believe in a race between Kaushik and 16 trillion other sperm, he won. He looks as though he was poured into his clothes and forgot to say "When". Too big, too slow, too short of his ground.
K. Kaushik run out (S. Colreavy) 9 (19b 0x4 0x6) SR:47.37

Then in typical Kaushik fashion, gone for cheap.

[Boomz]

hm... I don't know who I'm going to drop for Wegener... Would'v been Yearwood but he got a good 80 today... Probably Coetzer sadly :(

Kaushik won't go out Shaggy, don't worry, he is my man :)

You jinxed him Alex lol :P


My boy Baker is in there with McCarthy who is using his talent at a well needed time.

7.3   4   Prior to McCarthy : [Boundary Hitter] FOUR, short and wide outside the off, gives McCarthy the freedom of swinging the arms, the ball went like a bullet past point and straight to the fence.
7.2   4   Prior to McCarthy : [Boundary Hitter] Short, wide and smashed to the boundary. McCarthy can't resist a grin.

   End of over 8 (9 runs) - Tickle My Timber(37-1). 138 runs required from 42 overs. RR 4.62 RRR 3.29
J. McCarthy 23 (27b) , J. Baker 4 (3b) , W. Prior 4-0-19-0

[8-6 Suited]

And some more but unfortunately, perhaps 1 time too many...

9.4   W   Prior to McCarthy : Full in length, slanting away from McCarthy and his tame prod nestles safely in the hands of second slip.
J. McCarthy c N. Bray b. W. Prior 34 (34b 5x4 0x6) SR:100.00
9.3   4   Prior to McCarthy : [Boundary Hitter] That's hit powerfully down the ground for 4 by McCarthy.
9.2   4   Prior to McCarthy : [Boundary Hitter] He drifts down the leg side and McCarthy tickles it fine. Very fine.

[DazBurg]

[8-6 Suited]

Daz, they probably should have risked it, made a lot of quick runs and still would be in the same position.

   End of over 15 (3 runs) - Tickle My Timber(66-2). 109 runs required from 35 overs. RR 4.40 RRR 3.11

Can I just say again how much I love bot bashing?

12.4    W    Sayers to Baylis : [Yorker]  Sayers musters up all the effort he can and fires in a toe crusher. Baylis obliges by getting himself in line with the stumps and the umpire raises his finger.
C. Baylis lbw b. P. Sayers 7 (15b 0x4 0x6) SR:46.67
SAYERS! 189* & 2 wickets seems to me like he could go for 100 runs off his next over and still get MOTM :D
12.6    W    Sayers to Jeffrey : Wide, but he's dragged it on! He was looking to flay that away through the covers, but a lack of footwork has caused his downfall and the off stump is disturbed.
C. Jeffrey b. P. Sayers 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00 SAYERS AGAIN! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Go for 5fer Sayers ;D ;D ;D

[Alex7089]

16.1    W    Sayers to Davis : Middle stump out of the ground! Well bowled by Sayers and Davis is looking at the stumps in disbelief!
H. Davis b. P. Sayers 7 (15b 0x4 0x6) SR:46.67
WOW! Sayers now has 4 wickets! Come on 1 more, do it for me :P

My middle bowlers aren't taking any wickets but they aren't leaking major runs either - around the 4 an over.
