You're cleaning up right now.

Finally Chav hits a 4, been some very quiet overs.

13.4 4 Sawyer to Chavhanga
Textbook drive there. The foot movement was superb.

Huge drop in run rate continues.

15.5 2 Sawyer to Masibulele
This guy treats the ball like a beautiful lady. Caressed round the corner for two.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 17: 83-1, runrate=4.88

Blenkinsopp* 31 (24 balls)
Lakhani 12 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Fieldhouse b. Handbury 3 (FOW: 52/3)

12 runs off that over. Something I didn't need.

 

[aussie1st]

His run rate is still good, good thing you have 3 wickets.

Finally some 4s.

18.5 4 Benamar to Chavhanga
It looked like a gentle prod, but he's timed it wonderfully and the ball races away for four.

19.1 4 Sawyer to Masibulele
One bounce, smacks into the boundary boards. Bowler looks unhappy it wasn't a bad ball.

Lakhani* 15 (26 balls)
Blenkinsopp 36 (31 balls)
Last Wicket: Fieldhouse b. Handbury 3 (FOW: 52/3)

Wouldn't mind this Blekinsopp guy to go. In the 2 matches before today that he has played against me, he has made 100* and 60+*.

 

[aussie1st]

Looks like hes in for another biggie.

My RR over the past few overs has been 6 which is good.

20.3 4 Sutton to Masibulele
An inside edge just beats a diving Geldenhuys and races to the boundary for four.

21.3 4 Basham to Masibulele
Forced off the back foot and it breaches the infield to head off for four runs.

End of Over 22: 112-1, runrate=5.09
Basham 6-0-40-0
Chavhanga* 19 (26 balls)

Good first up maiden for Caskey. Hopefully Chav can get a ton for you, Syl.

 

[aussie1st]

Lost Masi way too early.

22.3 W Sutton to Masibulele
Masibulele has tried to slog that one but Reed is getting under it. OUT! Masibulele caught in the deep by Reed.

End of Over 23: 116-2, runrate=5.04

22.4 2 Longrigg to Blenkinsopp
That is great bowling. Blenkinsopp didn’t know too much about that, but he will still pick up a couple.
22.3 2 Longrigg to Blenkinsopp
Played to cover point who misfields and they pick up two.
22.2 2 Longrigg to Blenkinsopp
two runs, bad misfield at short fine leg allows the second.
22.1 2 Longrigg to Blenkinsopp
That is a textbook cover drive, but Blenkinsopp will only pick up a couple.

Ouch.

 

[aussie1st]

Thats more like the Quintus I've come to know. Now if only Chav would start doing something.

24.5 6 Sutton to Quintus
YOWZER! That one has gone a long long way!

End of Over 25: 127-2, runrate=5.08
Sutton 3-0-18-1

Look at the difference in the batting speeds!

Chavhanga* 27 (33 balls)
Quintus 17 (21 balls)

Quite a long way to go for Chav to get that maiden 100 and the overs are going by quick.

Caskey is bowling amazingly well. I really need Blekinsopp though. Anything to get him out.
