28.4   6   Daley to Makinson : Flighted, loopy and the perfect length to slog sweep for six! The beautiful sound of willow on leather brings the crowd to their feet.
29.4   4   Kershler to Furlonge : One step, two steps, three steps, FOUR!


That is the 100 partnership (100 runs, 158b, 5x4, 1x6) SR:63.29
That is 50 runs for Furlonge (53 runs, 83b 3x4 0x6) SR:63.86

30.3   .   McPhee to Furlonge : [dropped] An edge, but Ferguson's poor footwork means he's not in a position to hold the catch. McPhee is livid.

It's all happening!

30.6   4   McPhee to Makinson : Fullish ball on the stumps, Makinson backs away to the leg side and knifes it on the up over extra cover.

C'mon, 19 overs left, time to pick up the scoring.

I want wickets now.

[CrowsFan]

Both my spinners doing well on a green pitch :)
Priya has got figures of 7-1-17-2, and Suri has figures of 6-1-18-3

Currently they are:
End of over 33 (1 run) - Pompei Cricket club(148-7) RR 4.48
R. Baillache 1 (7b) , W. Piper 13 (26b) , A. Priyadarshini 7-1-17-2

Hopefully I can get these remaining wickets quickly so I have a small target...

[roo boys!]

34.1   4   McPhee to Furlonge : [misfield] Chudasama failed to get down in time and the ball races away towards the sightscreen.

I'll take them however they come.

[roo boys!]

R. Furlonge 76 (104b) , W. Makinson 59 (96b) , K. Daley 8-0-41-0

Now time to have a swing.

Furlonge tired :'(

R. Furlonge 76 (105b) , W. Makinson 64 (101b) , S. McPhee 9-0-42-1


Bah.


That is the 150 partnership (150 runs, 208b, 10x4, 1x6) SR:72.12
37.4   4   Daley to Makinson : Beautiful technique there as Makinson just strokes it through the off side for 4.

Has been a good partnership.
38.1   W   McPhee to Furlonge : A straight ball hits him in line, the finger is slowly raised.
R. Furlonge lbw b. S. McPhee 76 (106b 5x4 0x6) SR:71.70

Hope that doesn't slow down the RR...

[CrowsFan]

38.1   4   Priyadarshini to Baillache : [dropped] Flat batted fiercely in the air back at the bowler, who raises his hands out of self preservation and gets a finger to it before turning around and watching the ball race to the boundary.

No good at all!

Luckily he got out next over having only scored one more run :)

39.2   W   Suriyaprakash to Baillache : [catch] Short of a good length delivery on the stumps, Baillache makes room and takes a swing. The ball clips the top edge and balloons up to mid-on.
R. Baillache c E. Ridge b. A. Suriyaprakash 7 (14b 1x4 0x6) SR:50.00

End of over 40 (1 run) - Pompei Cricket club(168-9) RR 4.20
P. Illingworth 0 (2b) , W. Piper 26 (58b) , A. Suriyaprakash 10-2-25-5

Doing much better than I thought I would :D 2 wickets in that over certainly helped! Suri you are a star  ;D Who said spinners can't bowl on green pitches? :P

[roo boys!]

S. McPhee, W. Makinson, A. Kershler are tired.
OHNOES!!!
