Need to get Lali out.

34.3 W Charlton to Gardner
Plumb, line and sinker. You won't see an easier decision today!

There we go. 1 more and I'm into the tail.

 

[aussie1st]

Hopefully Hanson goes soon, my batters usually go before 120!

I need lali. Really need him out.

Hopefully Hanson goes soon, my batters usually go before 120!

Yup, Hanson is killing you. Maybe if you can get him, it could lead to a battrick collapse?

 

[aussie1st]

If BT causes a collapse from here I'll be very worried for BT.

Good finish by Hamed 1 off his last over. Might just be able to keep Brett under 300.

I'll be chasing 270 plus but this is a 280+ pitch. And I hope I don't collapse, because I put everyone on attacking. :S

40.3 6 Caskey to Hamed
Huge six! That's out of the ground... listen out for an angry driver, I certainly wouldn't want to have been driving past! Great strike by Hamed.
40.2 4 Caskey to Hamed
Caskey's delivery is too short and Hamed dispatches it past square leg, one bounce, to the fence. If there's one thing Hamed can do, it's pull. Just ask the ladies in the local nightclub.

Aaargh!. Hamed smashing me.

4 every over 300 could be an ease if this keeps occuring.

42.6 4 Caskey to Singh lali
Thrashed through the off side by Singh lali. The power and placement was excellent and Longrigg has no chance of cutting that off.
42.5 1 Caskey to Hamed
Angled in, on the back foot worked around to deep backward square leg.
42.4 1 Caskey to Singh lali
Singh lali plays the ball softly into the on side and sets off for a sneaky single.
42.3 4 Caskey to Singh lali
Bit of lift, on the back foot, played to a vacant deep, wide, mid wicket boundary.
42.2 4 Caskey to Singh lali
That one's dropped in short and Singh lali's eyes light up as he swivels and pulls that handsomely over mid wicket.

Eeep.

43.5 W Charlton to Singh lali
Thin edge which is nicely taken by Bridges.

Just what I needed. The main guy out for 93!

44.3 W Caskey to Poole
Thick inside edge onto the pads, Caskey has the cheek to appeal..... The umpire's given it! Unbelievable, he's practically middled that one! Huge show of dissent from Poole there, he'll be lucky to keep his full match fee.

And here comes the collapse.

 

[aussie1st]

Wow his guys really have accelerated overtaken Brett total against me.

Looks like Hanson will bat the inns out against my guys.

45.2 4 Sam to Staveley
Woh! Staveley has gone for a huge slog and has just slashed it through the slips for four runs. It's effective if he can keep it up!
And that's his fifty! Well played.

45.6 W Longrigg to Binnion
Oh dear me ... a shocker of a decision from the umpire. That one clearly going a mile down leg, a half-hearted appeal from the bowler and the finger goes up.[/QUOTE]

He he.

46.1 W Caskey to Hamed
Got him! He's got to go. That was as plumb as the plumbiest of plumbs. Caskey trapped him right in front of the stumps. No hesitation from the umpire.[/QUOTE]

And another.

46.4 W Caskey to Schalk
Big appeal for a catch at silly mid on. GIVEN!

And another.

46.6 W Caskey to Dangasela
That's gone like a rocket to Alnwick who has caught a wonder catch!

And another.

End of Over 47: 258-10, runrate=5.49

Mohammed* 1 (2 balls)

They've lost 6/11. That's a Battrick collapse.

Speak again?

 

[aussie1st]

Hmmm they are really ruthless on tail enders.

Congrats Hanson just too good for my poor bowling attack.

48.1 1 Hitish to Hanson
Hanson just tickles that into the off side and the batsmen set off for a quick single.
Thats his 150. A fine knock.

Poor finish by Sam

49.6 4 Sam to Staveley
Wide of off stump and an outside edge to a vacant slip region. Third man was a bit wide to prevent the boundary.
49.5 4 Sam to Staveley
That one's far too short and Staveley pulls it easily to the square leg

Only 6 off this first over, but I'm happy with the start.

 

[aussie1st]

New purchase already out hmmm

2.1 W Leeds to Ray
OUT! Thin edge and Dudgeon takes a textbook catch.

47 more overs of this please

2.6 	1	Leeds to Chavhanga
 	 	Could have gone for two but Chavhanga looks a little too laid back for that.
2.5 	3	Leeds to Masibulele
 	 	Smashed into a vacant spot for three runs.
2.4 	1	Leeds to Chavhanga
 	 	one run, Chavhanga drives it to deep mid-off for a single.
2.3 	4	Leeds to Chavhanga
 	 	A classic on drive from Chavhanga, perfectly timed and there's not much Leeds can do in the way of fielding that one. Instead he watches as it races on its merry way.
2.3 	nb1	Leeds to Masibulele
 	 	no ball, Masibulele advances, drives the ball firmly to long on and just jogs through for an easy single.
2.2 	3	Leeds to Chavhanga
 	 	Full and well outside the off stump. Chavhanga drives it beautifully through the covers. Staveley gives the chase and pulls the ball up just short of the boundary.

Good start.

 

[aussie1st]

Very solid start Sean.

I've lost my rock and first time hes been out in the PC league

4.5 W Leeds to Chavhanga
A bit of reverse swing and he tears the middle stump out. Fantastic bowling!!

Still going at rocket pace though

5.5 4 Holland to Quintus
Edged and through the slips for four. Holland seems to be losing his cool here. He could do with some comforting words from his teammates to calm him down.

 

[Gilly Fan]

9.1 4 Poole to Riley
Textbook cover drive, races to the boundary. No need to run for that.

End of Over 9: 51-0, runrate=5.67, reqrunrate=5.07 (258-10)
Binnion 5-0-30-0
Riley* 21 (22 balls)
Vusi 28 (33 balls)
8.6 4 Binnion to Vusi
Full of a length delivery, Vusi smashes it back in the air, just over the bent body of the bowler to the long off boundary.

This must be their favoured spot.

Very solid start Sean.
