More Bradman fun

40.5 2 Atkinson to Chavhanga
Chavhanga lives a little dangerously, miscuing an attempted hook just wide and clear of mid wicket.
40.4 4 Atkinson to Chavhanga
Yorker length and quick from Atkinson. Chavhanga clips it past square leg and falls over in doing so, but still gets enough bat on it for four.

41.1 4 Ayton to Chavhanga
The delightful sound of willow on leather and off it races to the square leg boundary for four.

Mansell made 92 out from 128 balls!

 

[aussie1st]

Chavhanga really powering home now

41.4 4 Ayton to Chavhanga
Shows the full face of the bat and punches it down the ground for four.

Good stuff from Liddle.

43.6 4 Ayton to Liddle
Fantastic shot . Upper cut over the keeper, audacious!

44.6 4 Atkinson to Liddle
Liddle smashes that one through the covers for a one-bounce four.

End of Over 45: 278-3, runrate=6.18
Atkinson 8-0-70-0
Chavhanga* 97 (84 balls)
Liddle 21 (13 balls)
Last Wicket: Weaver b. Vallance 54 (FOW: 221/3)

 

[angryangy]

Yeah, but Mansell didn't lose.

 

[aussie1st]

I've seen MOM given to guys on the losing team before.

45.4 4 Ayton to Liddle
A great shot from Liddle there. A full-blooded cover drive that races away to the boundary.

And another 100 for Mr Bradman.

45.6 4 Ayton to Chavhanga
Well that is one of the finest cut shots I have ever seen.
And that's a century for Chavhanga! Well played indeed Sir!

End of Over 46: 290-3, runrate=6.30
Ayton 8-0-71-0
Liddle* 27 (16 balls)
Chavhanga 103 (87 balls)
Last Wicket: Weaver b. Vallance 54 (FOW: 221/3)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Well played by the chav!

 

[aussie1st]

The Chavanator I like

If you missed my 46th over well the 47th is exactly the same

End of Over 47: 302-3, runrate=6.43
Atkinson	9-0-82-0
Chavhanga*	109 (90 balls)
Liddle	33 (19 balls)
Last Wicket: Weaver b. Vallance 54 (FOW: 221/3)
46.6 	4	Atkinson to Liddle
 	 	Liddle rocks onto the back foot and punches that through cover point for four.
46.5 	1	Atkinson to Chavhanga
 	 	Good running after a push to mid off.
46.4 	4	Atkinson to Chavhanga
 	 	Belted past extra cover and the valiant dive of the sweeper can't stop four.
46.3 	1	Atkinson to Liddle
 	 	Solid stroke to mid on and good running between the wickets.
46.2 	1	Atkinson to Chavhanga
 	 	Smacked back down the pitch. Atkinson takes some pace off it so it's just a single.
46.1 	1	Atkinson to Liddle
 	 	He got lucky there, caught the leading edge but they scamper through for a single.

Looks like Liddle has settled very nicely into the number 5 spot now.

47.2 4 Ayton to Liddle
Half volley from Ayton and the ball has been sweetly put away for four by Liddle. A touch of out-swing but that didn't make much difference as the ball thunders into the advertising boards.

End of Over 48: 311-3, runrate=6.48
Ayton 9-0-80-0
Chavhanga* 112 (93 balls)
Liddle 39 (22 balls)
Last Wicket: Weaver b. Vallance 54 (FOW: 221/3)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Looks like a good total coming up!

 

[aussie1st]

Yep a decent total. Once again smashed the finishing bowlers to wreck their figures. Liddle deserved a 50 for his efforts.

End of Over 50: 326-3, runrate=6.52
Ayton 10-0-89-0
Liddle* 49 (29 balls)
Chavhanga 117 (98 balls)
Last Wicket: Weaver b. Vallance 54 (FOW: 221/3)

Other closing bowler

Atkinson 10-0-88-0

 

[Gilly Fan]

Atkinson. :O
What **** figures!

 

[aussie1st]

My guys really do like smashing bowlers around

Good start as well.

2.1 W Hitish to Naysmith
Out! Short ball that kept low and crashed into Naysmith's pads. The umpire had no other option than to raise his finger and send Naysmith packing!

End of Over 4: 13-1, runrate=3.25, reqrunrate=6.83 (326-3)
Ryan 2-0-7-0
Islam* 6 (9 balls)
Reaboka 1 (8 balls)
Last Wicket: Naysmith lbw b. Hitish 1 (FOW: 7/1)

Been a good return to the Baggy Blues for Ryan

7.2 W Ryan to Reaboka
Ryan with a quicker one which finds a gap through to off stump before Reaboka even has chance to play a shot. He had no answer to Ryan's devastating pace.

End of Over 8: 28-2, runrate=3.50, reqrunrate=7.12 (326-3)
Ryan 4-0-10-1
Mckoy* 1 (4 balls)
Islam 13 (17 balls)
Last Wicket: Reaboka b. Ryan 8 (FOW: 27/2)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Wow. Great bowling there! Great economy!

 

[aussie1st]

My new spinner has picked up his first wicket now.

12.2 W Hamed to Islam
Goes for the slog-sweep, but mistimes it and has holed out to deep mid wicket.

Not the best of start for my other spinner.

End of Over 14: 52-3, runrate=3.71, reqrunrate=7.64 (326-3)
Mohammed 2-0-11-0
Mckoy* 8 (19 balls)
Tyson 6 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Islam c. Hitish b. Hamed 23 (FOW: 43/3)

Another wicket for Hamed

8.2 W Hamed to Tyson
Tyson has gone down the wicket to Hamed's delivery and hit that straight up in the air. Masibulele is chasing it, he's right underneath it and safely held. OUT!!!!!!

 

[aussie1st]

Just when it looked like they were getting back into the game.

28.2 W Sam to Mckoy
That's an absolute snorter of a delivery! Moving away from the batsman before jagging back off the seam and crashing into the stumps. Clean bowled!

29.4 W Ryan to Atkinson
Atkinson nicked the one that pitched perfectly in the corridor, caught by Masibulele.

30.5 W Hamed to Dlomo
Dlomo has gone down the wicket to Hamed's delivery and hit that straight up in the air. Masibulele is chasing it, he's right underneath it and safely held. OUT!!!!!!

End of Over 31: 144-8, runrate=4.65, reqrunrate=9.63 (326-3)
Hamed 6-0-16-3
Vallance* 1 (4 balls)
Menzies 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Dlomo c. Masibulele b. Hamed 43 (FOW: 144/8)
