Basil Brush would have been proud of that one. Boom boomed back over Ryans head. Six runs!!!!!

10.6 6 Hamed to Dharmasena
That's gone miles back and landed in a dustbin. I wouldn't like to bowl the next spell now.

38.2 W Alnwick to Nokwe
Wild slash from Nokwe goes straight up, and pocketed easily by Longrigg at mid wicket. A soft, soft dismissal. Poor batting.

There we go. Alnwick's first wicket for me.

 

[surendar]

And in my match, i am still hunting for the break through.. Viral goin strong and strong..

The only good thing I can take out of it is Myall's century under pressure and the way Handbury stuck around with him.

 

[surendar]

Yes that was brilliant century by Myall!

And in my match, no improvements for my team Need a breaaaakkkkthrrrrooough.....

[aussie1st]

Sagren looks like hes going to get one quick 100, usually my ones are 38 overs.

Hameed another good over only 2 off it. Hope Shorey can keep up his pressure.

16.5 1 Hamed to Dharmasena
The batsman comes down the pitch but he can only force a single to mid wicket.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Run rate under 6 for once too.

End of Over 17: 99-0, runrate=5.82
Hamed 4-0-17-0

[surendar]

You need 2-3 wickets Syl in another 5-10 overs.

Still, Sagren going on very strongly.. Whats happening to my bowlers!:what

[voldemort]

[surendar]

you might get 2, but not three cause then Aziz comes in

Oh wait... Syl is playing Voldy... lol i thought that its between Syl and leftie Then Syl, bowlers need to bend their backs very hard

And Sagren in very attacking mood

34.1 	4	Macdonald to Sagren
 	 	FOUR, that is brutality! Slogged down to the long on fence, just bounced before the rope. Sagren deserved six there.

35.1 	4	Love to Sagren
 	 	Short and smacked through the on side for four.

Who is going to break this partnership :

Sagren* 115 (116 balls)
Moodley 59 (90 balls)

[voldemort]

[surendar]

This is going worse and worse for my team..

End of Over 38: 188-2, runrate=4.95

Sagren* 119 (128 balls)
Moodley 59 (91 balls)
Last Wicket: Robson b. Love 0 (FOW: 6/2)

Someone has to send a msg to bowlers to get wickets

 

[aussie1st]

Thank God for that, my bowlers don't look like getting a wicket and this pitch is meant to be green!

End of Over 23: 127-0, runrate=5.52
Sam 2-0-6-0
Stanley* 61 (58 balls)
Dharmasena 62 (80 balls)

 

[surendar]

lol, as i was typing the above, msg has been immediately sent

38.1 W Macdonald to Sagren
Fast and straight. Stumps out of the ground. Sagren begins the slow walk back to the dressing room.

A crucial wicket!

 

[aussie1st]

Very nice Suren, just have to hope these guys coming in aren't going to up the tempo.

Hmmm runs have started to flow since Ryan came back on.

23.6 4 Ryan to Dharmasena
Too full and that's smashed away through cover with an authoritative drive on the front foot.

And there goes Sam now

24.5 6 Sam to Dharmasena
That was an enormous six! Almost joined us up here in the commentary box!
24.4 1 Sam to Stanley
Makes room for himself, but he can only force a single.
24.3 4 Sam to Stanley
Short and on his hips. Whipped away for a boundary.
