Great work mate. A shocking LBW shout, but it has been good bowling from Lee and Bracken. Keep up the good work

What about McGrath he got a wicket, he got the 1st wicket in fact.

Australia vs Scotland
Group match

After Scotlands slow and disappointing start they knew they needed to lift the run rate and McCallum certainly did that taking the attack to Bracken and Clark straight away, making sure they didn?t feel comfortable. Watts continued his survival tactics only putting away the bad balls. Bracken and Clark just couldn?t get it right as McCallum was was cutting and driving like the worlds best batsmen.

Ponting needed to make a change and he made a good double change bringing on Hogg and McGrath back on for his second spell. They both started to keep things tight and frustrate the batsmen. McGrath kept at a consistent line and length in the corridor of uncertainty whilst Hogg was pitching it up and a bit wide getting some devilish spin back into the batters leaving them in two minds about what to do, The pressure was mounting on the 2 batsmen and you could tell and they were playing and missing constantly. There is some good seam and spin in this pitch and Hogg and McGrath are using it well

The tight line and length McGrath was bowling was really frustrating McCallum. He was playing patiently driving along the ground, leaving and pulling but the slow run rate tempted him into silly shots like cuts that just mis the edge and aerial drives?Which is exactly how he got out, driving on the back foot it hit the top of the bat and resulted in an easy catch for the mid-on fielder Clarke. The good partnership had come to an end thanks to McGrath and Hogg who bowled fantastic.

The game is pretty even right now but Scotland need to lift the run rate but 1 or 2 more wickets could be the end for them. Hogg and Lee still have 5 overs with McGrath 1 and Clark and Bracken a few more up there sleeves so Scotland are in a bit of trouble if they cant get a partnership happening.

Scotland 3/96 off 26 overs
Watts 21 not out
Poonia 13 not out
Lockheart 4 c.Hayden b. McGrath
Watson 8 b.Bracken
McCallum 44 c.Clark b.McGrath

McGrath 7 overs 2/20
Lee 5 overs 0/5
Bracken 5 overs 1/31
Clark 4 overs 0/26
Hogg 5 overs 0/14

Not bad start by Scotland but hopefully we can accelerate. Your graphics and writing is of a very high quality. This looks to be the makings of a very good story

 

[gamerkid22]

Brilliant bowling by the Aussies but most importantly nice update Matt . Nice innovation and great graphics. Turning out to be a good story . Bring Lee back in the attack to get some quick wickets as Scottish batsmen will struggle against his pace. Nice presentation mate

This is a very true post. Great work by Australia but I am sure they would of liked a few more wickets.
