[Gilly Fan]

Well played Syl. An easy victory for you.

3.1 W Sotho to Sutton
Out. A top edged pull shot is taken by Schutte diving to his left.

Nice early wicket but very expensive.

10.3 W Lekgwathi to Bartlett
GODDIM! Lekgwathi banged it in short and Bartlett tried to pull it but he got a top edge to Moxey at mid wicket who steadied himself and swallowed an easy catch

Getting much better.

Stone 6-0-36-0
Adams* 88 (77 balls)
Pietersen 82 (73 balls)

Taking it easy against a better side. I've got Stiles and Gilroy opening for me but I doubt they'll manage to chase this down.

Cantrell 8-1-23-3
Howard* 31 (47 balls)
Hick 29 (48 balls)
Last Wicket: Siddiq c. Shoeshoe b. Villiers 8 (FOW: 29/5)

Thats a bit better! But yet again a fight back from the lower order is needed!! Im getting a bit concerned about this.

16.2 W Hirst to Thorpe
Lucas takes a simple catch as Thorpe top edges the ball attempting the sweep shot.

End of Over 27: 157-3, runrate=5.81
Hirst 7-1-26-1
Kepler* 18 (28 balls)
Grant 86 (84 balls)

Last Wicket: Thorpe c. Lucas b. Hirst 13 (FOW: 121/3)

Need to get Grant out for definit.

27.6 W Liddle to Grant
Grant tries to sweep and completely miscues the shot, and the ball takes off the bails. OUT!

My worst bowler had to get Grant out for 94

28.4 W Hirst to Kepler
Lucas takes a simple catch as Kepler top edges the ball attempting the sweep shot.

My bowler of the day, Hirst with his second witcket getting Kepler for 21.

End of Over 40: 257-2, runrate=6.43
Hemmings 10-0-79-1
Gibbons* 24 (35 balls)
Desouza 15 (11 balls)

This could be interesting. 2 poor batsman at the crease (after 2 amazing openers), I might restrict them to 300. If Gilroy and Stiles perform that's not out of reach, but unlikely on a TIE.

 

[jdeus]

End of Over 42: 139-10, runrate=3.31
Cooper 6-0-20-1
Hick* 47 (80 balls)

Well there you go Im all out, yet another dismal performance. Surely a lose will come making it 3 in a row :crying

 

[Jaztheman]

The players are off the field for the break between innings.

I am treating them to Cheese and Crackers.

 

[jdeus]

I haven't even gone into the changing room for my lot they can sort this out themselves!!

 

[pal]

Well there you go Im all out, yet another dismal performance. Surely a lose will come making it 3 in a row :crying

Well, if you're in need of hope, take a look at my last match. I bowled my opponent out for 138 and then fell for 128.

 

[FreddieFan]

End of Over 50: 352-3, runrate=7.04
Alder 10-0-75-0
Desouza* 64 (42 balls)
Thabiso 30 (18 balls)

So much for restricting them. I can't see myself winning this from here.
