no good here looks like i'm finished  :(

2 dropped catches in the last 2 overs  >:(

[Master Q]

Roost should take home his game. Not sure about the Torp and Hawka game though.

1-1 atm.

[DazBurg]

now a missed runout aswell  >:(

[Nails]

Mordt has called tails correctly and has decided to bowl. The Nailers will start their innings shortly.

Bad start for the Pineapples in this game.

Are you a pineapple or a spud? I don't know who I want to win.

End of over 4 (7 runs) - The Nailers(16-0) RR 4.00
S. Rayne 0 (6b) , R. Simon 16 (18b) , W. Alleyne 2-0-15-0

Solid start here.

Simon on D, Rayne on N... you can't really tell though can you? ::)

[PowerBug]

Nails, we want Hawka to win. Torps is part of Q's side.

End of over 32 (3 runs) - Torpedo's Titans(214-5). 138 runs required from 18 overs. RR 6.69 RRR 7.67
W. McKenzie 1 (6b) , J. O'Reilly 104 (87b) , C. de Zoysa 6-0-29-0

Three "flukey" wickets as torp has described them, has put the game more into Hawks and the Pineapples favour.

8.6   W   Hemming to Simon : [catch] Short of a good length delivery on the stumps, Simon makes room and takes a swing. The ball clips the top edge and balloons up to mid-on.
R. Simon c P. Whitting b. D. Hemming 24 (41b 2x4 0x6) SR:58.54

Was about to post the total after this over was finished and talk about how Q wasn't looking good......

Then that happened ::)

[Master Q]

End of over 9 (3 runs) - The Nailers(38-1) RR 4.22
S. Rayne 7 (13b) , H. McDonald 0 (0b) , D. Hemming 5-1-9-1

Not bad.

Hemming >:D

Nails pretty much has 40 overs to make his runs, because when Hemming comes back in with his OBB it'll be all over...

[Nails]

I miss having 2x OBB :(

[PowerBug]

This will be the make or break game. Nails vs Q. We'll need the upset, but i reckon we can get it. :)

End of over 12 (9 runs) - The Nailers(49-1) RR 4.08

The Vag ain't no Michael Bryce!

Rayne opened w/ Simon

Rayne has now faced 18 deliveries, in the same time Simon saw 41 deliveries and McDonald has seen 19  :-\

[Master Q]

Nails what did you rate in your SOD/T20?

End of over 13 (4 runs) - The Nailers(53-1) RR 4.08

Tune in if you already haven't. O'Reilly is playing a blinder for Torps. Hawka has a Spec/Spec LM (Healy) and a reli/reli RM at the other end on a slow wicket.

GO HAWKA!!

42.6 W Healy to Ntalami : [catch] Afternoon tea time! Jaffa of a ball there from Healy, moving away from Ntalami at the last moment. It wasn't there to be nibbled at and it stuck like jam to Holland's hands. A shame for Ntalami but that's the way the cookie crumbles...
A. Ntalami c M. Holland b. P. Healy 5 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR:62.50

Torps no. 10 has avg batting though, pretty solid tail i say.

End of over 20 (2 runs) - The Nailers(88-1) RR 4.40
H. McDonald 34 (48b) , S. Rayne 19 (31b) , V. Love 5-0-31-0
