End of over 42 (7 runs) - Roo Boys!(176-7). 41 runs required from 8 overs. RR 4.19 RRR 5.12
R. Ali 3 (9b) , R. Naved 21 (20b) , M. Thomson 6-0-23-1

C'mon, get Naved back on strike.

43.3 1 Thomson to Ali : [dropped] A big nick from an attempted off drive. Sira jumped for it, but it bounced out of his hand. A tough chance, but a missed opportunity nonetheless. The batsmen run a single.

That would have been the game....

Lucky though as it gets Naved back on strike.

Your batting is much stronger than mine Hilly. But this is all due to the majority of my players being in the 22-25 category with great fielding behind them :D.

Need to hope Bowling can topple you guys ;D.

In trouble RB but could make a comeback if lucky :-\.
if it was green i would dominate, or SALAH would dominate.

Besides Ring, you haven't played any other spinner :o. I'm quite surprised about that!! Don't have any or didn't choose to play them?

End of over 44 (4 runs) - Roo Boys!(186-7). 31 runs required from 6 overs. RR 4.23 RRR 5.17
R. Ali 7 (15b) , R. Naved 27 (26b) , M. Thomson 7-0-27-1
43.6 . Thomson to Ali : [dropped] Half volley outside off stump, Ali throws the bat at it and Madhana drops it at cover! It was a hard catch, but you've got to take those opportunities.

Riding your luck Ali...

Justin Bieber · February 13, 2011, 09:35:31 PM

I use to have only one but bought 3 this season and sold that other one!! So Crumbling/Dry pitches suit me and are my preferred pitch :).

But have a Fasty and a FM lurking in the dark incase they are needed 8).

It's a good partnership. Need to crack it soon though!!! GET THEM MORGAN/KONINGS!!!!!!!!!

MajorLazer · February 13, 2011, 09:36:14 PM

Cmon RB. ;D ;D

End of over 46 (9 runs) - Roo Boys!(200-7). 17 runs required from 4 overs. RR 4.35 RRR 4.25
R. Ali 11 (20b) , R. Naved 37 (33b) , M. Thomson 8-0-36-1

Good over.. 17 more.
46.1 4 Garner to Naved : Full length, looking for some swing, but it's overpitched and Naved leans into a graceful cover drive that bisects the infield and races away for four.

Gets a single next ball, Ali better just get a single here..

Yes! Single to ALi, and then:
46.4 4 Garner to Naved : [misfield] An extra fielding session wouldn't go astray for Jabir next week. 4 added to the score.

Naved you animal.
