Shaggy McBourne has 2 wickets... Woohooo!

[8-6 Suited]

25.5   .   Ross to Stephens : [dropped] Oh my God - I can't believe it's not butter on Allison's fingers. That was a simple catch and Allison grassed it. Ross doesn't look very impressed.


4th drop for Stephens now lol

[roo boys!]

McBourne is a freak. He can be expected to get wickets :P

[roo boys!]

      That is 50 runs for Furlonge (53 runs, 71b 4x4 1x6) SR:74.65
27.1   4   Brooks to Furlonge : Half volley from Brooks, and Furlonge is good enough to caress that back past Makinson, too straight for Aziz at mid on to cut off. Makinson rushed back to his crease, before he realising that it had four written all over it. That was all timing from Furlonge, glorious to watch.

End of over 28 (11 runs) - The Brat Pack(132-4) RR 4.71
A. Kelly 33 (53b) , F. Mabothe 18 (17b) , B. Mlambo 9-1-36-1

21 runs from the last 2 overs. Not happy!

[8-6 Suited]

Just checked, he averages 2 wickets a game o.O! Thats pretty insane.

[roo boys!]

     End of over 28 (11 runs) - Roo Boys!(128-2) RR 4.57
W. Makinson 12 (12b) , R. Furlonge 54 (72b) , J. Brooks 9-1-32-0
27.6   6   Brooks to Makinson : Short and Makinson takes him on, hooking him high, high over fine leg for six. Didn't look in complete control, but it really flew away off the bat!

:D
28.6   W   Hayden to Furlonge : Furlonge looks to drive through the on side and instead spoons the ball back to Hayden who accepts it with both hands.
R. Furlonge c & b. D. Hayden 57 (76b 4x4 1x6) SR:75.00

:'(

[roo boys!]

29.5   .   Brooks to Harrison : [great fielding] Great anticipation from Pryor at backward point saves a certain four.

30.1   .   Omesh to Makinson : [great fielding] Punched off the back foot to backward point where a great diving stop by Pryor prevents the single.

Pryor likes backward point!

End of over 31 (4 runs) - Roo Boys!(139-3) RR 4.48
W. Makinson 20 (24b) , J. Harrison 0 (2b) , J. Omesh 6-0-26-1

[DazBurg]

28.6   1 W   Francese to Vidur : [runout] Smart work from the fielder there and Vidur is run out comfortably.
J. Vidur run out (S. Polzin) 40 (70b 3x4 0x6) SR:57.14

nooooooooooo a couple of overs back my set batsmen got runout

End of over 31 (4 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(105-4) RR 3.39
D. Manou 5 (9b) , T. Bryant 16 (25b) , H. Deware 6-0-23-0

no more batsmen left these are the remaining two :-\ :(

[roo boys!]

I hate runouts, bad luck Daz.

[roo boys!]

32.5   .   Omesh to Makinson : [dropped] Hit fiercely back at the bowler, who flings out a hand but fails to grasp the chance.

Would mean more if he was actually scoring quickly, but still, lucky chance.

After these two FM's, two FS' come on to bowl the final 10, and Cullen in next is a spin specialist :D

They both went for 28 from their first 5 overs, except one picked up two wickets. The danger one.

End of over 33 (3 runs) - Golden C(102-5) RR 3.09
D. Sweeney 43 (75b) , W. Hole 2 (7b) , A. Odumba 7-1-13-4
:(
odumba once again being awesome.

[roo boys!]

33.3   W   Inniss to Makinson : That's plumb! Makinson is checking the edge of his bat as if to indicate that he got something on it, but the replays show he was nowhere near it. Off you go son!
W. Makinson lbw b. O. Inniss 21 (33b 1x4 1x6) SR:63.64

Ahh showere, Cullen in now...hope he can survive the seamers.

[8-6 Suited]

30.6   2   Ahsan to Hogan : [dropped] Oh dear. Hogan has sent the ball high into the air. de Haan positions himself under it and... oh no, he's dropped it! Let me tell you, if looks could kill, Ahsan would be on trial right now...

I think Steamroller should invest in some fielding training.

34.3   .   Ahsan to Hogan : [dropped] An edge, but McBeath's poor footwork means he's not in a position to hold the catch. Ahsan is livid.


That confirms my previous statement. 6 dropped catches so far. o.O!


End of over 35 (maiden) - Tickle My Timber(159-4) RR 4.54
P. Lidgerwood 0 (1b) , T. Stephens 58 (98b) , S. Ahsan 8-1-22-2

35.4   W   Heat to Sweeney : Heat released the ball with a horizontal seam, causing it to leap up and Sweeney was unable to keep his shot down. The ball flew straight to Srikkanth at mid on who holds on to the catch.
D. Sweeney c K. Srikkanth b. O. Heat 45 (83b 3x4 0x6) SR:54.22
