That is the 100 partnership (100 runs, 129b, 6x4, 2x6) SR:77.52

Couldn't have asked for a better start :-*

McLaughlin I don't want to see you gone! :'(

[Alex7089]

Your version of Darya is starting to go well ;)

Just brought up 50.

[roo boys!]

   That is 50 runs for Jaseam (51 runs, 71b 3x4 1x6) SR:71.83
21.2   nb4   Carter to Jaseam : Surely that is shot of the day from Jaseam. Wonderfully placed back foot punch through the off side. Jaseam inspects the toe of his bat, looking very relaxed.

21.4   4   Carter to Jaseam : Over pitched and expertly dealt with. Jaseam gets a good stride in and just punches it past Carter's outstretched right hand for a sweetly timed boundary. That's pure timing!


Not starting to go well, his first five or so games for me were awesome, now he's just resuming

;)

It's funny Jaseam beat McLaughlin to 50 cos McLaughlin was on 47 when Jaseam was on 39 :P

[roo boys!]

22.5   W   Palanirajan to Jaseam : [catch] Jaseam looks to drive through the on side and instead spoons the ball back to Palanirajan who accepts it with both hands.
K. Jaseam c & b. D. Palanirajan 59 (78b 4x4 1x6) SR:75.64
OHNOES!!!


Played a great innings though. C'mon Furlonge.
That is 50 runs for McLaughlin (51 runs, 64b 4x4 1x6) SR:79.69

Yay.



24.4   W   Palanirajan to McLaughlin : Quicker delivery that pitches and turns sharply. McLaughlin pushes forward to defend but fails to make contact and the ball hits the pad right in front of the stumps. He was beaten by the extra pace and the sharp turn there.
G. McLaughlin lbw b. D. Palanirajan 52 (67b 4x4 1x6) SR:77.61

And cue middle order collapse right before drinks :'(


End of over 25 (3 runs) - Roo Boys!(125-2). 110 runs required from 25 overs. RR 5.00 RRR 4.40
W. Makinson 0 (2b) , R. Furlonge 7 (7b) , D. Palanirajan 3-0-6-2

Palanirajan seems to be the one causing all the trouble :o

[MajorLazer]

End of over 25 (10 runs) - Frankston XI(151-2). 125 runs required from 25 overs. RR 6.04 RRR 5.00
M. Jayawardene 20 (20b) , D. Campbell 54 (63b) , M. Francese 3-0-24-0

Not bowling tight enough.

[roo boys!]

    End of over 26 (7 runs) - Roo Boys!(132-2). 103 runs required from 24 overs. RR 5.08 RRR 4.29
W. Makinson 5 (6b) , R. Furlonge 9 (9b) , H. Carter 8-0-59-0
25.6   1   Carter to Furlonge : [dropped] Oh my God - I can't believe it's not butter on Holder's fingers. That was a simple catch and Holder grassed it. Carter doesn't look very impressed.

It's great when it isn't happening to you ;D

27.3   4   Carter to Makinson : Lovely shot through extra cover for four.
27.1   4   Carter to Makinson : [misfield] Oh dear, what a mess! Steepling top edge down to fine leg, Roberts decides to rush in and try to pull off the catch, but realises far too late that he can't get there and the ball ends up bouncing over his dive and away for four.

[roo boys!]

End of over 28 (12 runs) - Roo Boys!(146-2). 89 runs required from 22 overs. RR 5.21 RRR 4.05
R. Furlonge 10 (14b) , W. Makinson 14 (14b) , H. Carter 9-0-68-0

Nice. Watch out for Palanairnaafbjbasf or whatever his name is though.

[Alex7089]

Haha :P
I would say you are safe R&B ;)

[roo boys!]

Hope so..

You playing with DPs? :P Bored?

28.5   1   Palanirajan to Makinson : [dropped] Oh dear. Makinson has sent the ball high into the air. Phelan positions himself under it and... oh no, he's dropped it! Let me tell you, if looks could kill, Palanirajan would be on trial right now...

That's why we need to watch for him.. :-\
29.1   4   Carter to Makinson : A full toss on leg stump is easily dismissed by Makinson to the mid wicket boundary. No need to run for that.

But score freely off the other guy lol

End of over 30 (6 runs) - Roo Boys!(153-3). 82 runs required from 20 overs. RR 5.10 RRR 4.10
J. Harrison 0 (0b) , R. Furlonge 11 (16b) , H. Carter 10-0-74-1
29.6   W   Carter to Makinson : [catch] Terrific ball that moved away just a touch from Makinson, drawn forward into a drive, and it took a thin outside edge to a diving Tainton behind the stumps.
W. Makinson c B. Tainton b. H. Carter 20 (24b 4x4 0x6) SR:83.33

MAKINSON! >:( >:(

C'mon Harrison, I need you to ignore your tech gap and win me the game! :P

[roo boys!]

End of over 33 (2 runs) - Roo Boys!(161-3). 74 runs required from 17 overs. RR 4.88 RRR 4.35
R. Furlonge 18 (31b) , J. Harrison 1 (3b) , J. Mathea 7-0-24-0

Good consolodation, I should still win.
