argh :( need manohari to stay in... hes a gun ;) so is waterhouse... Need a big partnership.

FFS... can't one of them just stay in :(

The RR is well in your control, that's why I need to keep picking up wickets.

[Boomz]

hmm I'm glad I went deep with batting now... still I won't win this... Waterhouse is a gun & so is Daley but if I lose one of them before I'm within 50 runs I'm stuffed.

[roo boys!]

End of over 23 (1 run) - Gunz n Rozez(106-4). 116 runs required from 27 overs. RR 4.61 RRR 4.30
K. Daley 8 (18b) , L. Waterhouse 22 (42b) , S. Chiba 2-0-3-0

No certainly not.

End of over 24 (5 runs) - Gunz n Rozez(111-4). 111 runs required from 26 overs. RR 4.62 RRR 4.27
K. Daley 11 (22b) , L. Waterhouse 24 (44b) , T. Stevenson 7-0-32-0


See, you are ahead of the RR with wickets in hand. If I don't get 2 wickets within 10 overs you will win.

[roo boys!]

T. Stevenson, K. Daley are tired.

    End of over 25 (5 runs) - Gunz n Rozez(116-4). 106 runs required from 25 overs. RR 4.64 RRR 4.24
L. Waterhouse 28 (50b) , K. Daley 11 (22b) , S. Chiba 3-0-8-0
SLOW THE RR DOWN! GRR. Daley will recover his fatigue after drinks unfortunately.

[Boomz]

lol I'm only ahead in the RR coz of my start but these 2 r going to bring it down soon... If u get a wicket or 2 I'm gone but I think I'm probably gone already :-\

[CrowsFan]

Just lost 2 wickets in 2 overs :( Knight out for 62 and Warwick (who was on defensive) out for 1!  >:(
Luckily I have managed to survive 3 triggered bouncers :)

End of over 39 (3 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(137-4). 40 runs required from 11 overs. RR 3.51 RRR 3.64
R. Deem 40 (77b) , W. Deane 1 (2b) , W. Piper 10-0-28-1

Just need to score a few more runs. Don't want to jinx it but with 6 wickets in hand I should win this. Touchwood ;)

[roo boys!]

End of over 30 (1 run) - Gunz n Rozez(133-4). 89 runs required from 20 overs. RR 4.43 RRR 4.45
L. Waterhouse 40 (65b) , K. Daley 16 (37b) , T. Stevenson 10-0-48-0

Can't break the partnership >:(

Chiba very economical though! :o

[Boomz]

There goes any chance I had :(

[roo boys!]

31.3   W   Chiba to Waterhouse : Bowled through the gate as Waterhouse attempts a forward defensive. That's a brilliant ball from Chiba as the timber goes flying.
L. Waterhouse b. S. Chiba 40 (72b 3x4 1x6) SR:55.56

I think Chiba has been my best bowler today! And he's the one I expected to be carted...

[Boomz]

He would have been if my top order hadn't gone out before he came on ::)

[roo boys!]

End of over 33 (1 run) - Gunz n Rozez(137-5). 85 runs required from 17 overs. RR 4.15 RRR 5.00
K. Daley 18 (39b) , A. Kershler 2 (9b) , A. Qasim 7-0-28-1

Qasim has been good also though.

lol yeah that's true. I can thank Naved, Ali and Qasim for that.

34.1   W   Qasim to Kershler : [catch] Wonderful delivery from Qasim which moves away after pitching. Kershler looking to drive through the off side, not fully in position to drive, gets the edge through to Cullen.
A. Kershler c A. Cullen b. A. Qasim 5 (14b 0x4 0x6) SR:35.71

End of over 36 (14 runs) - Gunz n Rozez(158-6). 64 runs required from 14 overs. RR 4.39 RRR 4.57

Wow, Ferguson just killed Chiba's figures!

Daley tired, surely they should get him out >:(
37.4   W   Chiba to Ferguson : [catch] Chiba has struck. It was a loopy flighted delivery around the off stump and Ferguson didn't get to the pitch of the ball and he edged his attempted cover drive to first slip.
G. Ferguson c R. Ali b. S. Chiba 18 (17b 4x4 0x6) SR:105.88

Revenge is sweet 8)
