From the Pavilion

[MajorLazer]

It's on a dry pitch as well. :'(

[roo boys!]

Kind of like Jeffers and Carney for me! Guess it's a day for our batsman to shine :D.

What pitch is yours though?

I bet this will get Hafeez out of average form :P

[MajorLazer]

End of over 1 (6 runs) - John Howard's Coathangers(6-0). 309 runs required from 49 overs. RR 6.00 RRR 6.31
C. Peterson 0 (2b) , H. Kamabi 1 (4b) , K. Martin 1-0-2-0

He's got good figures, but that was a good over for me.

Hard :P. A Batter pitch ;D. But Habib has been on Average Form (or at least it feels like it) for half the season at least!

     End of over 1 (2 runs) - Highveld Lions(2-0). 352 runs required from 49 overs. RR 2.00 RRR 7.18
M. Yeates 2 (6b) , S. Hosie 0 (0b) , T. Stevenson 1-0-2-0


Playing a 4 pronged Seam attack for Overcast/Green.

4.3   W   Sodumo to Connor : Short of a good length delivery on the stumps, Connor makes room and takes a swing. The ball clips the top edge and balloons up to mid-on.
W. Connor c J. Shareef b. A. Sodumo 8 (15b 1x4 0x6) SR:53.33
SODUMO! Gun :P
He has 1 opener who is a freak though, exhausted.

12.1   W   Pritchard to Connellan : [catch] Swishes listlessly outside off stump and that's a regulation catch in the gully for Sodumo.
S. Connellan c A. Sodumo b. M. Pritchard 16 (38b 0x4 0x6) SR:42.11
Got the good one out, Sodumo (gun) catches it 8)

14.1   W   Pritchard to Fanteni : Wait is the call, Jackman misfields and the batters take off. Fanteni is well short of his ground and is run out. The lesson here ladies and gents, is never run on a misfield.
P. Fanteni run out (T. Jackman) 8 (19b 0x4 0x6) SR:42.11
I see Jackman is trying to make up for a disappointing batting effort :P

End of over 15 (maiden) - Arnold CC(46-4). 323 runs required from 35 overs. RR 3.07 RRR 9.23
T. Mbangwa 0 (5b) , P. Lwana 1 (6b) , M. Pritchard 3-1-2-1

Pritch is just too good.

[CrowsFan]

End of over 17 (7 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(158-0). 26 runs required from 33 overs. RR 9.29 RRR 0.79
N. McEvoy 67 (52b) , P. Henderson 85 (51b) , H. Reid 4-0-40-0

Hopefully McEvoy doesn't score too many more runs so Henderson can crack the ton :)

[Alex7089]

18.6   W   Pritchard to Lwana : Loud scream for LBW. The umpire pauses for a moment before raising the finger. Superb bowling from Pritchard, getting the ball to move off the seam.
P. Lwana lbw b. M. Pritchard 9 (19b 1x4 0x6) SR:47.37
Pritch! GUN!

End of over 19 (1 run) - Arnold CC(61-5). 308 runs required from 31 overs. RR 3.21 RRR 9.94
A. Mokoena 0 (0b) , T. Mbangwa 7 (16b) , M. Pritchard 5-1-9-2

He is killing it.

[CrowsFan]

[Alex7089]

22.1   W   Vint to Mbangwa : [catch] In the zone outside the off stump, from a length and Mbangwa 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.
T. Mbangwa c A. Collins b. G. Vint 13 (26b 0x4 0x6) SR:50.00
Vint and Collins combine. Actually that wicket helps.

25.4   W   Jackson to Mokoena : Lovely delivery tossed up, the doosra, and Mokoena reads it wrong. He comes down the track and looks to drive through the on side, Collins fumbles the ball slightly and then removes the bails.
A. Mokoena st A. Collins b. P. Jackson 9 (19b 1x4 0x6) SR:47.37
Jackson picks up a wicket, 3 to go hopefully I get them quickly.

29.4   W   Jackson to Owen : Looping flight from Jackson, but Owen reads it early, dances down the track to get to the pitch. His attempt to slam it straight back over the bowler's head only results in a simple catch for long on.
C. Owen c D. Daryapurkar b. P. Jackson 7 (14b 1x4 0x6) SR:50.00
Jackson takes his second. Top stuff :D 2 to go.

34.3   W   Sodumo to Redfearn : [catch] Redfearn launches that straight, Jackson at long on steadies himself and takes a straightforward catch. Too much elevation, not enough distance.
S. Redfearn c P. Jackson b. A. Sodumo 9 (18b 0x4 1x6) SR:50.00
1 to go now, Sodumo picks up his second, come on, finish this.
