Carlton Cricket Club get bowled out for 137, on the same score as the Easterns achieved in the previous game. However, Carlton Cricket Club got bowled out and the Easterns didn't. But, could it mean the same fate lies for the Carlton Cricket Club as it did for the Easterns? Perhaps, but it will be a fun chase to watch nonetheless.

Wayamba Elevens had very little success with the ball, but they let Kent Spitfires get to only to a modest 168, had there been one more breakthrough, the scorecard would've been completely different.

0.2  Cameron White to Cedric English, No Run, excellent bowling.  (0) 
0.3  Cameron White to Cedric English, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0) 
0.4  Cameron White to Cedric English, Wide, no run.  (0) 
0.4  Cameron White to Cedric English, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0) 
0.5  Cameron White to Cedric English, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
0.6  Cameron White to Cedric English, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0)

Cedric English     0 (5b)
Jamie Kerr     1 (1b)
Cameron White    1-0-2-0


1.1  Clint McKay to Jamie Kerr, Great yorker, he's hit flush on the toe and is dead in front! In one ball he's lost his wicket and his pride, and has a broken toe to boot!

J. Kerr        c Pattinson       b McKay
Runs : 1       Balls : 2         S/R : 50

1.2  Clint McKay to Fraser Watts, Short and pulled away for a single  (1) 
1.3  Clint McKay to Cedric English, That wasn't a bad ball, but the batsmen went at it with everything except the kitchen sink, and got enough on it to send it over the fence! 6 more!  (6) 
1.4  Clint McKay to Cedric English, Full and on the toes, the batsman just flicks it past the now-vacant short fine leg region for four runs! The captain is fuming, and it's right after he took the fielder out of there!  (4) 
1.5  Clint McKay to Cedric English, That was a very good delivery.  (0) 
1.6  Clint McKay to Cedric English, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0)

Fraser Watts     1 (1b)

3.4  Clint McKay to Bryn Lockie, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
3.5  Clint McKay to Bryn Lockie, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two.  (2) 
3.6  Clint McKay to Bryn Lockie, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.  (1)

4.2  David Hussey to Bryn Lockie, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
4.3  David Hussey to Bryn Lockie, Dabbed into the gap for a quick single. The captain decides to shift the field around a little bit.  (1) 
4.4  David Hussey to Cedric English, Full and on the toes, the batsman just flicks it past the now-vacant short fine leg region for four runs! The captain is fuming, and it's right after he took the fielder out of there!  (4) 
4.5  David Hussey to Cedric English, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one.  (1) 
4.6  David Hussey to Bryn Lockie, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad.  (0)

6.2  Shane Harwood to Cedric English, Tucked to off side, one more.  (1) 
6.3  Shane Harwood to Robert Thornton, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2) 
6.4  Shane Harwood to Robert Thornton, Good running, two runs.  (2) 
6.5  Shane Harwood to Robert Thornton, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
6.6  Shane Harwood to Robert Thornton, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves. No run.  (0)

7.2  Darren Pattinson to Robert Thornton, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs.  (2) 
7.3  Darren Pattinson to Robert Thornton, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two.  (2) 
7.4  Darren Pattinson to Robert Thornton, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (4) 
7.5  Darren Pattinson to Robert Thornton, Very well bowled.  (0) 
7.6  Darren Pattinson to Robert Thornton, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover.  (1)

0.5  Gordon Drummond to Brad Hodge, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0)

2.1  Gordon Drummond to Aiden Blizzard, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and top edges it high into the air. It's an easy catch in the end, and hopefully the batsman has learnt why you shouldn't slog across the line!

12.1  Benjamin O'Connell to Brad Hodge, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0) 
12.2  Benjamin O'Connell to Brad Hodge, Placed nicely into the gap. Two runs.  (2) 
12.3  Benjamin O'Connell to Brad Hodge, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run.  (0) 
12.4  Benjamin O'Connell to Brad Hodge, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
12.5  Benjamin O'Connell to Cameron White, Inside edge, and past the stumps. The batsmen take a quick single  (1) 
12.6  Benjamin O'Connell to Brad Hodge, Very well bowled.  (0)

13.4  Steven Gilmour to Brad Hodge, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0)

14.1  Ross Lyons to Cameron White, Short and pulled away for a single  (2) 
14.2  Ross Lyons to Cameron White, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0) 
14.3  Ross Lyons to Cameron White, Very well bowled.  (0) 
14.4  Ross Lyons to Cameron White, That was a very good delivery.  (0)

15.1  Cedric English to Cameron White, Very well bowled.  (0) 
15.2  Cedric English to Cameron White, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two.  (2) 
15.3  Cedric English to Cameron White, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close.  (0) 
15.4  Cedric English to Cameron White, Reverse sweep, and it's four! What an outrageous shot! The batsman is all smiles after pulling that one off!  (6)
