Going alright problem will be after 15 overs. Looks like you're need to do some big hitting during the middle stages which is a tough ask.

Got Rampaul to open the innings but it failed...his first failure this season:O dont believe he got out

On the other hand Karthikeyan is going beserk

3.3 6 Juries to Karthikeyan
Karthikeyan has lined it up. It's long enough, it's high enough, it's straight over the ropes!

5.6 6 Juries to Karthikeyan
Takes on the hook and it sails just over the head of a retreating backward square leg for six.

My 12th match against arch rival has also started.

Welcome to Loosers are buried here for the match between Jeanz and Assassins XI.

We can tell you that Jeanz won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this partially cloudy and humid day.

Jeanz have selected Livesey, Field, Rasool, Howells, Loxley, Abrahams, Boyd, Chohan, Ahmed, Raheem, Leary.

Assassins XI have picked Heath, Mahmood, Hansen, Ettienne, Ibbrahim, Kampa, Martyn, Haquani, Wajihullah, Dickman, Rahim.

Lets join our team for ball-by-ball commentary.

i lead so far 6-5. So it shuld be a close match.

I can't afford to slow down. If things the RRR gets above 6.50. I'm in a bit of trouble.

 

[zainawan89]

Heath and Mahmood r in.

Mahmood in 11 matches has scored 505 runs with avearge of 56.88 agaisnt this team.


Heath in 3 innings has scored 104 runs at average of 34.00

oh i jinxed Mahmood.

2.3 W Ahmed to Mahmood
OUT! That was a lazy shot by Mahmood. Just poked the bat at that and sent a dolly into the hands of Rasool at mid-on

Hansen is in now. in 9 innings he has scored 634 runs at healthy average of 105.67.
Hope he do well today.

Don't worry, I jinxed My best batsman today. I was saying to someone I know as a joke that he went out first ball. Then I refreshed battrick. And there it was. Myall out first ball LBW!

My batsmen are slowing down. Run rate is now 6.5 and rising! Only 4 from the past 2 overs. Their stanima is fine so I don't know why they are slowing down!

26.5 b4 Farruhk to Saich
Diabolical keeping there, as the ball rolls uncontested to the boundary.

Just what I needed to stay around 6 an over.

 

[aussie1st]

[Gilly Fan]

Massive partnership comes to an end.

28.1 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Farruhk to Bridges
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Bridges flat bats a widish length ball into the waiting hands of long off. A good catch as the ball shot sharply off the bat.[/COLOR]

Great partnership of 160 comes to an end.

And my 1k buy, Vusi. He has hit a 4 first ball. Wait, leg byes.

28.2 	b4	Farruhk to Vusi
 	 	Four. No wait, the umpire has decided there was no bat on ball there so four byes it is.
