well done syl, should be an easy target for your boys

 

[Gilly Fan]

Brilliant stuff, Syl. Brilliant!

Great fielding Saich!

26.1 	W	Longrigg to Hussain
 	 	Hussain attempts to steal a run from Saich at point, but Saich is too quick for him and throws down the stumps at the bowler's end. Hussain is run out.

One more wicket and I'm into the tail.

Ripsnorting delivery!

27.4 b1 Charlton to Byrne
Oh my! That one fairly leaps out of the rough up at Byrne, fizzing past him and clipping the keeper's shoulder on the way through. Bridges sets off after the ball and the batsmen jog through for the bye.

Thanks BC and Gilly.

Put Steele on very aggressive but hes not even been aggressive after 1 over.

Charlton bowling very well. I feel a wicket coming. Crawford has been struggling.

Struggling, yet stable.

2/105 (30.0)
My best batsman comes to the crease now, hopefully we can accelerate and post a better than woeful total.

30.1 W Ryno to Barron
Ryno, Dudgeon and Maughan appeal till their faces go purple! Slowly but surely, the finger goes up.

Thats the wicket i needed. They are now 5 wickets down!!!!

 

[Gilly Fan]

Expensive over from Longrigg. Ruined his figures a bit.


End of Over 31: 137-4, runrate=4.42
Longrigg 9-2-33-0
Crawford* 3 (19 balls)
Byrne 40 (52 balls)
Last Wicket: Hussain Run Out 23 (FOW: 119/4)

Good stuff, Binga.
AA, you have wickets in hand so you should make atleast 220.

Goooooorn!

31.2 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Handbury to Crawford
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Crawford has edged it to third slip. He doesn't even wait for the umpire to to raise his finger, and heads straight back to the pavilion. [/COLOR]

Yet another wicket maiden for handbury.
End of Over 32: 137-5, runrate=4.28
Handbury 6-2-20-2

[aussie1st]

I feel for you Angry same happened to me in my friendly, under 300 totals are usually never enough.

Looking good for you now Brett not going to bad yourself Gilly.

Finally a boundary

4.2 4 Dingane to Steele
Steele was frothing at the bit, waiting to pounce onto that short one. And Dingane looks positively frustrated as it trundles to the rope.

End of Over 5: 20-0, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=1.53 (88-10)
Dingane 3-0-13-0
Masibulele* 7 (11 balls)
Steele 13 (19 balls)

Longrigg remained wicketless but bowled well.

End of Over 33: 138-5, runrate=4.18
Longrigg 10-2-34-0
Byrne* 41 (56 balls)
Tandy 0 (6 balls)
Last Wicket: Crawford c. Cohen b. Handbury 3 (FOW: 137/5)

Why can't my team hold the strike like this team?
Their batsman is taking singles on the right balls so the tailender doesn't have to face any balls.

35.5 	[COLOR="Red"]W	[/COLOR]Handbury to Tandy
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]The batting team looks on in disbelief as Longrigg takes an unbelievable catch at cover, diving to his left and catching the ball one handed in mid-air. The fielding team is jubilant.[/COLOR]

Yum. Mmmmm

End of Over 36: 151-6, runrate=4.19
Handbury 8-2-26-3
Byrne* 54 (68 balls)
Gardiner 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Tandy c. Longrigg b. Handbury 0 (FOW: 151/6)

[Gilly Fan]

 	 	[COLOR="Red"]This boy could turn a ball off glass. Byrne never saw that one coming.[/COLOR]
