If it weren't for Cape Cobras' top-order, things would've been very different. Graeme Smith and JP Duminy's innings laid the foundation for a massive total, but their middle/lower-order and tail-end collapsed completely. What an atrocity, it was.

1.4  Charl Langeveldt to Neil Broom, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming!  (4)

3.1  Charl Langeveldt to Brendon McCullum, 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) 
3.2  Charl Langeveldt to Brendon McCullum, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0)

4.2  Rory Kleinveldt to Neil Broom, One more to the total.  (1) 
4.3  Rory Kleinveldt to Brendon McCullum, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2) 
4.4  Rory Kleinveldt to Brendon McCullum, 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)

5.4  Claude Henderson to Brendon McCullum, The batsman sees the juicy half-volley outside off-stump, and decided that it deserved more than a spanking through the covers, and so thrashes it into the stands instead! 6 runs.  (6)

8.1  Vernon Philander to Brendon McCullum, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement.  (3)

0.2  Dewald Nel to Johann Myburgh, The batsman sees the juicy half-volley outside off-stump, and decided that it deserved more than a spanking through the covers, and so thrashes it into the stands instead! 6 runs.  (6) 
0.3  Dewald Nel to Johann Myburgh, Slog-sweep time! He hasn't executed that quite well, and....yup, he's out caught! Tough luck kid, maybe you'll do better next time.

16.1  Maurits Jonkman to Moneeb Iqbal, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2) 
16.2  Maurits Jonkman to Moneeb Iqbal, Text-book cover drive, four more.  (4) 
16.3  Maurits Jonkman to Moneeb Iqbal, I don't think he'll be attempting any more bouncers after that. The batsman has hooked that away magnificently for six!  (6) 
16.4  Maurits Jonkman to Moneeb Iqbal, 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!

16.5  Maurits Jonkman to Anthony Judd, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavilion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6) 
16.6  Maurits Jonkman to Anthony Judd, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0)

17.1  Bernard Loots to Dewald Nel, 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) 
17.2  Bernard Loots to Dewald Nel, 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) 
17.3  Bernard Loots to Dewald Nel, Good shot, bad placement. Won't get a run for that.  (0) 
17.4  Bernard Loots to Dewald Nel, Edged and through the vacant gully region for four! And just after the captained had removed a man from there! Don't you just hate it when that happens?  (4) 
17.5  Bernard Loots to Dewald Nel, In the air, and gone!

Hague Cricket Club win! What an exceptional game of cricket. Hague Cricket Club wins by just 6 runs, defending a mediocre 144. Mark Jonkman, Maurits Jonkman and Bernard Loots picked a wicket apiece, Jacob-Jan Esmeijer claimed two whereas Feiko Kloppenburg bagged three. A complete team effort gives them a consolation win, just as they exit the tournament.

Code:
Hague Cricket Club      143/9  in 20.0 overs. 
Greenock Cricket Club   137/10 in 17.5 overs.

- Great pitch to bat on, usually favours teams with explosive batsmen.
@Akshay. @X Factor

4.1  Naved Arif to Simon Katich, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time.  (6) 
4.2  Naved Arif to Simon Katich, Six!  (6)

6.4  Salman Ali to Steven Smith, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavilion...  (4) 
6.5  Salman Ali to Steven Smith, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1)

9.5  Shoaib Malik to Steven Smith, That's a single.  (1)

15.1  Mansoor Amjad to Steven Smith, Great bowling, catching the batsman off guard with the quicker ball. He's stuck in his crease, rapped on the pads, and thoroughly beaten.

16.1  Abdur Rehman to Phillip Hughes, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0) 
16.2  Abdur Rehman to Phillip Hughes, 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) 
16.3  Abdur Rehman to Phillip Hughes, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, and misses completely! Gone!

Runs : 56       Balls : 44         S/R : 127.3

16.4  Abdur Rehman to Brad Haddin, 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) 
16.5  Abdur Rehman to Brad Haddin, Short, wide, and played on! That's poor, poor batting, the bowler is ecstatic about getting a wicket off that!

Runs : 2        Balls : 2          S/R : 100
