Welcome to Bushwackers CG for the match between Bushwackers and TT Lions.

We can tell you that Bushwackers won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this partially cloudy and humid day.


Batting first, the TT Lions scored a respectable 244/8. Bennet making a fine 90 and Rudi with a fluent 59. Folds (28), Barr (20 off 13*) and Crouch (18) all with decent contributions of their own. Heath ending with 4/57, Ryan 1/33 and Mcinerney 2/45.
In reply, the Buswhackers lost early wickets to end up tottering at 53/3 before fine innings from Swift (55) and Squires (69) put them back on track. However, when they fell with the score at 195/6, much was left to be done. But apart from Hegget (14), no one could hang around long enough with Fiddes (41*) as they were bowled out within 48.1 overs for 228, handing the TT Lions a 16 run victory. Rudi taking 4/55, Folkes 3/33 and Tuckett 1/27.

And that's the end of the match. TT Lions won by 16 runs.
TT Lions 244-8
Bushwackers 228-10

Rudi will probably be MOTM.

Once again, its Hamed :cool:

46.6 W Hamed to Soft
Oh my! Soft has lost his furniture! Clean gone.

Game has changed its direction in last 10 overs.. What a game.. Still Otoole fighting for the opponent team... and this happened,

48.2 	[B]W[/B]	Hamed to Victory
 	 	Attempted flick off his legs, but makes no contact and it cannons into leg stump!
48.1 	[B]W[/B]	Hamed to Piper
 	 	Bowled. Any time you see a spinner persuade a batsman to offer what seems to be the perfect defensive shot only to hear the crunch of the stumps, you know you've seen something special

Brillliiiiaaannnnttt Hamed :happy Hamed and Clarke shared 9 wickets between them

So thats it, Hunting Tigers won a close contest by 26 runs.

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 26 runs.
HuntingTigers 268-6
Blanco Blitzers 242-10

Hamed 9-0-48-5
Clarke 9-0-58-4

I still can't believe... we managed to pull the game in last 10 overs.

End of Over 40: 193-2, runrate=4.83, reqrunrate=7.60 (268-6)
End of Over 49: 242-10,

You did the complete opposite of what I did.
Handsome needed about 7.5po off the last 10 overs. He hit 54 in 4 overs to take control of the match. if only I'd done what you did. Then i'd be happy and would've won.

Good win, Suren.

Didn't get enough runs in the end, none of my batsman got big scores like theirs did.

Just saw the game now. Poor Richardson and Basson both getting out before centuries and King Lampard as reliable as ever. Looks like I might've perfected my batting line-up.

A hat-trick for Bradshaw, left hander will be pleased but really its just my obligatory tail collapse.

The hat-trick

250 to win, i can defend it if i get early wickets but it's going to be tough.

Thanks for posting the hatrick

I was disappointed that I couldn't defend 294 yesterday, I think I probably needed 20-30 runs more. Baggy blues did fantastically to chase it quite easily in the end.

 

[voldemort]

you expected to beat baggy blues : ? well thats a high hope then...

 

[aussie1st]

Nice win Suren did what the Baggy Blues couldn't do.

Hitish was a bit expensive but at least he got 3 wickets, Sam doesn't like attacking bowling I see.
A good knock from Germon and bad luck to Masibulele 1 run short of a 100.

 

[Gilly Fan]

We can tell you that Gillys Demolition Team won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a cracker! Hard and fast - should be a run-fest out there on this sunny day.

Oh what! It's hard and fast! And I wanted it cracked! Hard and Fast (attempting to get to: Cracked)

It was green yesterday!

 

[aussie1st]

Lost the toss will need 300 to be safe.

End of Over 1: 3-0, runrate=3.00
Elam 1-0-3-0
Germon* 2 (4 balls)
Masibulele 1 (2 balls)

Masibulele going very nicely, also interesting to see he has a spinner at the other end.

2.4 4 Elam to Masibulele
Nice shot, they'll get three here…oh terrible throw to Geldenhuys and they'll run an extra one.

3.5 4 Basham to Masibulele
That's past Sutton's outstretched hand, scattering the pigeons on the way to the cover boundary......Great shot! Four runs.

 

[Gilly Fan]

End of Over 5: 21-0, runrate=4.20
Tahir 3-0-15-0
Warlow* 6 (13 balls)
Burton m 14 (17 balls)

I'll need early wickets against this mediocre top order team.

 

[aussie1st]

Elam is really slowing me down.

End of Over 7: 37-0, runrate=5.29
Elam 4-0-17-0
Germon* 13 (19 balls)
Masibulele 24 (23 balls)

7.4 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Lisbie to Burton m
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Bridges made a spectacular dive there, not sure if it was necessary but it was effective.[/COLOR]

The great Lisbie!

9.1 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Lisbie to Warlow
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]What a slower ball! Warlow was so deceived he took two swipes at the ball before it took out off stump.[/COLOR]

All hail the king!

 

[aussie1st]

Great stuff from Lisbie.

Masibulele really in a 4 mood today.

7.4 4 Basham to Masibulele
That's trickling away to the boundary like a rolling stone. Four runs.

9.2 4 Basham to Masibulele
Cracking shot! A shorter pitched delivery and Masibulele judged the spin superbly. Basham is shaking his head over that delivery.

10.1 4 Benamar to Masibulele
Good length delivery outside the offstump, hint of away swing, Masibulele gets well forward and drives through the line, ball finds the narrow gap between mid-off and cover and races away to the fence.

Chav in early today hope he can get a 100 today.

10.3 W Benamar to Germon
Picked out Sutton at mid on. He wanted to go for the boundary but completely mistimed it.
