20.2 W Embury to Jaseam : [catch] Oh dear, Jaseam has chipped this one straight down the throat of mid off. Soft dismissal.
K. Jaseam c B. Faulty b. J. Embury 35 (53b 3x4 0x6) SR:66.04

R. Naved 0 (0b) , W. Makinson 4 (4b) , J. Smith 6-1-21-1
21.6 W Smith to Furlonge : Oh, what's this? Out! Stumped I think... yes, a pretty innocuous ball from Smith just had Furlonge drawn a bit too far forward and his foot slipped out of the crease.
R. Furlonge st A. Sands b. J. Smith 19 (36b 1x4 1x6) SR:52.78

Flowering wicket maiden -__- If I lose from here....

25.3 W Smith to Naved : [stumped] Sleek work from Sands, no need for the replay. The batsman's patience gave way as he shimmied and shuffled down the pitch. Smith saw him coming and cleverly dragged it down, completely beating him with some sharp spin.
R. Naved st A. Sands b. J. Smith 1 (11b 0x4 0x6) SR:9.09
OMFG. You have legendary experience, go in and make 1 off 11 balls and go out? Floweeeeer.

Really need to see off Smith's overs...

W. Makinson 13 (16b) , G. McLaughlin 1 (1b) , J. Smith 8-1-27-2

2 to come from Smith.

Makinson you are going to have to do this for me. Although I'll pretend I never said that cos I'll jinx you.

DazBurg · February 20, 2011, 08:25:54 PM

23.6 W Taufel to Souza : Taufel musters up all the effort he can and fires in a toe crusher. Souza obliges by getting himself in line with the stumps and the umpire raises his finger.
W. Souza lbw b. E. Taufel 0 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

End of over 24 (11 runs) - UNLEASH THE WORLD(116-8). 125 runs required from 26 overs. RR 4.83 RRR 4.81

W. Makinson 13 (18b) , G. McLaughlin 2 (5b) , J. Embury 4-0-11-1

Block block block Smith. I will be happy with a maiden so long as he doesn't get another wicket.
27.3 6 Smith to McLaughlin : That's a good example of how to take a catch, but unfortunately for the bowling team, a member of the crowd was the one taking it - SIX into the crowd.

Or you could do that ":P

McLaughlin is on fire!

Just saw off his best FS, and his other one is onto his 7th over. See him off and we can score off the mediums.
