A. Kershler 6 (11b) , S. Manohari 36 (61b) , H. Kelly 9-1-29-2

hmm good start then a collapse but Manohari & Daley did well to get me back in it need these 2 to stick around for a while...

37.1   W   Basharat to Manohari : [Bouncer] Manohari hooks a bouncer but can't keep it down. Potter turns, runs back in the direction of fine leg and takes the catch.
S. Manohari c D. Potter b. A. Basharat 38 (63b 4x4 0x6) SR:60.32

Always jinx myself >:(

37.1   W   Heat to Hole : [catch] No ground is too big for Hole! Except maybe this one. Good catch by Angus at deep mid-wicket.
W. Hole c F. Angus b. O. Heat 7 (19b 0x4 0x6) SR:36.84
:D

[roo boys!]

And Shaggy, de Haan and McBeath seem to be the ones dropping them!

In my game, ironically enough:
35.4   .   Inniss to Cullen : [dropped] Cullen fires that straight back in the air at Inniss, who is unable to take the chance.

:P

End of over 37 (7 runs) - Roo Boys!(167-4) RR 4.51
J. Harrison 19 (17b) , A. Cullen 5 (13b) , J. Omesh 9-0-41-1

AHH CULLEN YOU INCONSISTENT barbie!
37.2   W   Inniss to Cullen : Loud scream for LBW. The umpire pauses for a moment before raising the finger. Superb bowling from Inniss, getting the ball to move off the seam.
A. Cullen lbw b. O. Inniss 7 (15b 0x4 0x6) SR:46.67

Kershler gone now too :(

    End of over 39 (6 runs) - Roo Boys!(177-5) RR 4.54
J. Harrison 26 (24b) , R. Naved 1 (3b) , J. Omesh 10-0-47-1

C'mon boys, time to accelerate.

End of over 40 (maiden) - Gunz n Rozez(156-10) RR 3.90
S. McPhee 4 (5b) , A. Basharat 9.5-1-33-4

Going to be hard to defend that... Need McPhee to rip through their top order... Highly possible on a sticky pitch & cloudy weather.

End of over 41 (4 runs) - The Brat Pack(193-6) RR 4.71
E. Cain 3 (6b) , S. Gorman 9 (9b) , A. Suriyaprakash 6-0-35-0

Priya finished his 10 with 3 wickets. Hopefully Suri and Ridge can pick up these last 4 cheaply, or if not just keep the RR down...

[roo boys!]

42.3   W   Hofman to Harrison : [catch] A flighted delivery on the stumps, Harrison goes for the sweep but gets nowhere near the line. The ball clips the glove and pops up behind the stumps on the leg side. Flanagan at leg slip makes no mistake.
J. Harrison c S. Flanagan b. B. Hofman 34 (33b 2x4 0x6) SR:103.03

Very well played, did exactly what I needed him too.


End of over 44 (5 runs) - Roo Boys!(212-6) RR 4.82
S. Chiba 4 (6b) , R. Naved 20 (18b) , D. Hayden 7-0-45-2

[roo boys!]

44.5   .   Hofman to Naved : [dropped] Duwa is furious with himself for missing a relatively straight-forward edge behind. Hofman is somewhat less pleased.

Haha.


My guys have done quite a good job despite the order mix up.


45.2   W   Hayden to Chiba : [catch] Short down the leg side, it was close to the body. Chiba looks to pull, gets a glove to it, and it goes straight into the gloves of Duwa, who takes it gleefully.
S. Chiba c C. Duwa b. D. Hayden 5 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR:55.56

Well Ali who is on (A) is in now. Hopefully he has a swing.

My bowling orders are fine though :)

[CrowsFan]

45.4   .   Ridge to Cain : [dropped] In the air straight to mid-on and Mlambo drops a simple chance.

2nd drop on Ridge's bowling.

45.6   .   Ridge to Gorman : [dropped] Uppishly played towards cover, Suriyaprakash dives forward, gets his hands underneath the ball, but then somehow manages to drop the ball.

Make that 3 dropped chances from Ridge's bowling :(

End of over 46 (7 runs) - The Brat Pack(209-6) RR 4.54
S. Gorman 12 (18b) , E. Cain 16 (27b) , E. Ridge 8-0-31-1

Those 2 wickets sure would have helped!

[roo boys!]

End of over 46 (3 runs) - Roo Boys!(220-7) RR 4.78
R. Ali 1 (2b) , R. Naved 26 (25b) , D. Hayden 8-0-48-3

That was a bad over, lessened my chances of 250.

[CrowsFan]

Wasn't as bad as my over RB. 2 dropped chances and 7 runs concede

[roo boys!]

Yeah well.... *blows raspberries

End of over 47 (11 runs) - Roo Boys!(231-7) RR 4.91
R. Ali 11 (7b) , R. Naved 27 (26b) , B. Hofman 9-0-58-1
That was better!

[roo boys!]

I hate this Hayden guy! So tight >.>

End of over 48 (4 runs) - Roo Boys!(235-7) RR 4.90
R. Naved 29 (28b) , R. Ali 13 (11b) , D. Hayden 9-0-52-3
