0.5   1   Naved to Forrest : [dropped] Hit fiercely back at the bowler, who flings out a hand but fails to grasp the chance.

12.6   W   Cottam to Ritula : [catch] Poor shot from Ritula. Just short of a length outside off and he attempts to drive well away from his body, but only succeeds in feathering one through to Sutherland for a regulation catch.
S. Ritula c M. Sutherland b. H. Cottam 24 (39b 0x4 1x6) SR:61.54

A. Manekshaw 9 (19b) , B. Batticiotto 16 (35b) , S. Chiba 4-0-11-0

These two have tied it up a bit but need a wicket or two...
18.2   W   Ali to Batticiotto : Bowled him! A lone spectator in the crowd looks particularly upset at the outcome of that delivery. I can see a book in his hand that may lend a clue to his identity, "History's Greatest Shaftings".....
B. Batticiotto b. R. Ali 16 (37b 0x4 0x6) SR:43.24

YES! Everytime so far today I say I need a wicket soon they get one ;D
