Syl, still voldy going strong..

Very next over, Love striked

39.2 W Love to Abdul kadir
Got him! Yes! He's bowled the classic inswinging yorker and the bails go flying, middle stump goes over and a wicket is lost

But once again, a good bounce back by Viral,

End of Over 44: 232-4, runrate=5.27
Clarke 7-1-34-0
Moodley* 74 (104 balls)
Dangasela 25 (16 balls)
Last Wicket: Abdul kadir b. Love 1 (FOW: 191/4)

Hamed strikes immediately,

44.5 W Hamed to Moodley
Defensive stroke played, but the ball beats the bat as it nips back sharply and the bails are sent up into the air.

 

[voldemort]

Aussie didnt mention!

26.6 W Sam to Dharmasena
Chavhanga's caught him. Great fielding.
30.5 W Hamed to Stanley
Defensive stroke played, but the ball beats the bat as it nips back sharply and the bails are sent up into the air.

End of Over 31: 172-2, runrate=5.55
Hamed 6-0-29-1
Wijenayake* 10 (8 balls)
Aziz 0 (1 balls)

And now its Aziz time

 

[aussie1st]

Aziz out soon time I hope

Oh no

31.1 6 Shorey to Wijenayake
Lofted long and high by Wijenayake. Shorey will be kicking himself.

 

[surendar]

Two quick wickets,

44.6 W Hamed to Haishen
Haishen doesn't even stop to see the umpire's finger go up. He'll be kicking himself that he got out playing that shot.

45.2 W Clarke to Moodley
Marvellous delivery that! Clarke drew Moodley into the shot and a thick outside edge is well taken at first slip.

Score atm,

End of Over 47: 249-7, runrate=5.30
Hamed 9-1-53-2
Al ameen* 7 (7 balls)
Dangasela 34 (23 balls)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Very well done, Suren. Excellent bowling!

 

[aussie1st]

Viral guys really have collapsed, still a ok total.

32.2 4 Hamed to Aziz
That one's far too short and Aziz pulls it easily to the square leg boundary for four.

End of Over 33: 191-2, runrate=5.79
Hamed 7-0-35-1
Aziz* 10 (7 balls)
Wijenayake 19 (14 balls)

[surendar]

Another 2 quick wickets for Hamed,

48.3 W Hamed to Malik
Malik slams that back towards Hamed who kicks it up with his toe, juggles it and...got him!
48.2 W Hamed to Al ameen
Well Al ameen has played all around that one as the ball pitched in the rough and bowled him round his legs! Take a bow son!

Hamed picks 4 wickets! And the final wicket,

49.1 W Clarke to Fordham
Clearly hitting all three!

Suprised to getting them all out!

End of Over 50: 263-10, runrate=5.26
Clarke 9-1-45-2
Dangasela* 45 (29 balls)

Hunting Tigers need 264 to win.. Lets see what happens.:cool:

 

[Gilly Fan]

Great! Fantastic! :hpraise

 

[aussie1st]

Should be a good chase, this is very chaseable.

More of this please

End of Over 36: 203-2, runrate=5.64
Shorey	8-1-43-0
Wijenayake*	22 (18 balls)
Aziz	19 (21 balls)
Last Wicket: Stanley b. Hamed 82 (FOW: 172/2)
35.6 	.	Shorey to Aziz
 	 	Good length, fullish ball, straightening off the seam outside off stump. The batsman has a bit of a poke at it but straight through to Masibulele.
35.5 	.	Shorey to Aziz
 	 	Shortish ball just outside off stump. Guided to point who does well to prevent a single.
35.4 	.	Shorey to Aziz
 	 	Sharp, short, rising ball outside off stump. Aziz sways back out of the line to let it pass through to Masibulele.
35.3 	.	Shorey to Aziz
 	 	Shortish ball seaming back into the body. He looks to tuck it square off the hip but mistimes it and it squirts away towards point off a leading edge.
35.2 	.	Shorey to Aziz
 	 	Bit of lift, over the stumps, batsman not tempted.
35.1 	.	Shorey to Aziz
 	 	Shortish ball, heading down the leg side, tries to whip it away very fine but only gets a deflection off the top of the pad, great stop by Masibulele.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Syl, you ust need a couple of wickets. And you may be chasing less than 300.

And with Chav, you never know.

 

[aussie1st]

Hes got too many for my guys to chase. We just can't score at close to 6 for the whole inns against his bowling lineup.

Very poor over from my best bowler

42.2 4 Hitish to Aziz
Aziz was onto that in a flash. Hitish really needs to sort out his line and length.

42.4 6 Hitish to Wijenayake
They say that limited overs cricket is the opium of the masses, and Wijenayake has certainly given the crowd something to feel good about with that fine lofted straight drive over long off.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Has he got a good bowling side?

 

[surendar]

Syl, you shd now depend on your batting lineup especially chavy. Lets see.

And in my game, scorecard atm,

End of Over 12: 81-1, runrate=6.75, reqrunrate=4.82 (263-10)
Abdul kadir 1-0-10-0
Malik* 15 (14 balls)
Bartlett 34 (40 balls)
Last Wicket: Rampaul lbw b. Fordham 28 (FOW: 41/1)

 

[aussie1st]

His bowling rating is at least comp/comp probably more this game so I have no hope. Just have to hope we don't get bowled all out.

Going very nice Suren

End of Over 50: 298-2, runrate=5.96
Sam 10-0-62-1
Aziz* 55 (57 balls)
Wijenayake 79 (66 balls)
Last Wicket: Stanley b. Hamed 82 (FOW: 172/2)

Just when I thought I had a good over against Aziz

1.3 4 Aziz to Masibulele
He took the risk of playing across the line, but it paid off this time. Four runs.

This happens

1.6 W Aziz to Germon
Germon is not happy with that. Everything was wrong. It pitched outside leg and he got an inside edge, but the umpire's given him out. He might get a fine for waiting so long before walking off.

End of Over 2: 9-1, runrate=4.50, reqrunrate=6.04 (298-2)
Aziz 1-0-8-1
Masibulele* 7 (7 balls)
Chavhanga 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Germon lbw b. Aziz 2 (FOW: 9/1)

 

[surendar]

oh, thats not the start which you wanted Syl. Lets see..

And in my match, the pressure is building up,

End of Over 23: 106-1, runrate=4.61, reqrunrate=5.85 (263-10)
Moodley 5-0-8-0
Bartlett* 49 (75 balls)
Malik 23 (46 balls)
Last Wicket: Rampaul lbw b. Fordham 28 (FOW: 41/1)

And Bartlett reached his fifty with atmost patience.

23.1 1 Haishen to Bartlett
Neatly flicked off his hips towards square leg and they scamper through for a single, nicely played.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

RRR is climbing up well
