Where is Roger Telemachus?

He too, got cut from the final squad. Some teams had more players in their squad than the others, and that's why I had to apply a 15-men squad limit rule.

0.3  Sohail Tanvir to Johann Myburgh, Very well bowled.  (0) 
0.4  Sohail Tanvir to Johann Myburgh, Short and pulled away for a single  (2)

An exceptional batting performance from Hague Cricket Club propels them to 168. A fairly competitive total, and commendable against such a formidable bowling lineup. Feiko Kloppenburg and Tom de Grooth were the driving forces behind their strides to that total.

Shane Watson, Munaf Patel and Yusuf Pathan bagged a wicket each, whereas Sohail Tanvir bagged two.​

[Perfect Square]

Myburgh has been a big disappointment. Also the bowlers. Need some shuffling.

Great win. We have so many bowling options.

2.1  Henry Osinde to Mahela Jayawardene, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot.  (2) 
2.2  Henry Osinde to Mahela Jayawardene, 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)

2.4  Henry Osinde to Mahela Jayawardene, 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)

3.2  Sanjayan Thuraisingam to Mahela Udawatte, 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) 
3.3  Sanjayan Thuraisingam to Mahela Udawatte, Easy single.  (1) 
3.4  Sanjayan Thuraisingam to Mahela Jayawardene, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0)

4.2  Henry Osinde to Mahela Udawatte, 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) 
4.3  Henry Osinde to Mahela Jayawardene, He takes a step down the track and turns an attempted yorker into a full-toss, and dispatches it over long-on for six!  (6) 
4.4  Henry Osinde to Mahela Jayawardene, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though.  (1) 
4.5  Henry Osinde to Mahela Udawatte, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is.  (4)

17.6  Jehan Mubarak to Zubin Surkari, Short ball outside offstump, the batsman rocks back to cut it and sends it up and over point for six!  (6)

Cape Cobras crusaded to a massive 188, but rather uncomfortably as most of their batting line collapsed and crumbled against the Greenock Cricket Club's bowlers. Justin Ontong was the saving grace of the innings with a belligerent 66 off 46 deliveries, which was well accompanied by Herschelle Gibbs 23-ball 44.​

It wasn't a good first game for Claude Henderson. He was very expensive after having taken the toll of the Greenock Cricket Club's batsmen. His economy, and the heroic fifties from Tim McIntosh and Cameron Borgas were still not enough to get Greenock Cricket Club the win, and pull off a major upset.​

Cape Cobras             188/8 in 20.0 overs. 
Greenock Cricket Club   176/5 in 20.0 overs. 

Cape Cobras won by 12 runs

MIDDLESEX PANTHERS WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO BAT FIRST

MIDDLESEX PANTHERS' INNINGS

0.1  Brett Lee to Billy Godleman, 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) 
0.2  Brett Lee to Billy Godleman, That was a very good delivery.  (0) 
0.3  Brett Lee to Billy Godleman, Lofted drive, falls into the gap. The ball gets stuck in the outfield meaning the batsmen get only two.  (2)

0.6  Brett Lee to Dawid Malan, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single.  (1)

Ed Joyce, Middlesex Panthers' captain led from the front and scored a brilliant 66 off just 49 deliveries, which was well bundled with Owais Shah's 28-ball 44. Brett Lee picked 3 wickets to his name, but he was slightly on the expensive side of things.​

13.1  Murali Kartik to Phillip Hughes, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
13.2  Murali Kartik to Phillip Hughes, Splendid shot for four!  (4) 
13.3  Murali Kartik to Phillip Hughes, 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) 
13.4  Murali Kartik to Phillip Hughes, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0) 
13.5  Murali Kartik to Phillip Hughes, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one.  (1) 
13.6  Murali Kartik to David Warner, The batsman looks surprised that that ball wasn't called a wide. The bowler's grinning as he makes his way back to his mark.  (0)

15.1  Murali Kartik to Phillip Hughes, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy!  (3) 
15.2  Murali Kartik to David Warner, Oh that was a dolly of a catch, and the fielder makes no mistake. Back to the nets for the batsman.

15.3  Murali Kartik to Simon Katich, And that's going all the way, four runs!  (4) 
15.4  Murali Kartik to Simon Katich, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.  (1) 
15.5  Murali Kartik to Phillip Hughes, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only two.  (2) 
15.6  Murali Kartik 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)

16.1  Shaun Udal to Simon Katich, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot.  (2) 
16.2  Shaun Udal to Simon Katich, Thick inside edge there, but the umpire still gives it! Unbelievable! Zorax probably has a bet riding on this game, cause there is no way that was out!

16.3  Shaun Udal to Dominic Thornely, 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) 
16.4  Shaun Udal to Dominic Thornely, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad.  (0) 
16.5  Shaun Udal to Dominic Thornely, Very well bowled.  (0) 
16.6  Shaun Udal to Dominic Thornely, 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)

-

New South Wales Blues fall short, just marginally as they crumbled and lost wickets in the latter part of their innings after a solid foundation that was laid out by Phillip Hughes and David Warner. Brad Haddin tried his best with a blitzy cameo towards the end, but it was not enough.​

Middlesex Panthers      184/5 in 20.0 overs.
New South Wales Blues   170/4 in 20.0 overs.

Middlesex Panthers won by 14 runs

Man of the match: Ed Joyce (Middlesex Panthers)

@Akshay. @Till Valhalla​

 

[Morphed]

Judd should have bowled another one over., was economical. Berrington has been expensive, but again batsman friendly wicket. Krause would get one last chance.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

ROUND 3

Pool B, Middlesex Panthers vs Ontario Cricket Club at Chennai
- Generally good for both, batting and bowling.
@Akshay. @HawkAussie

Pool A, Cape Cobras vs Hague Cricket Club at Mumbai
- Great pitch to bat on, usually favours teams with explosive batsmen.
@AliB/@Ashutosh. @Perfect Square

Pool A, Rajasthan Royals vs Otago Volts at Ahmedabad
- Batsmen friendly wicket, not much on offer for either fast, or spin bowlers.
@Sinister One @Rohith.

Pool B, Sialkot Stallions vs Wayamba Elevens at Kolkata
- Normal pitch, equally good for batsmen and bowlers.
@CerealKiller @Asham
