Syl and angy.. both are dominating the opponents.. Excellent! And Pal, inspite of the absymal bowler, you have taken their top order off

And my match.. Still 8 hours to go!

And Pal, inspite of the absymal bowler, you have taken their top order off

Wait till you see my worthless/worthless and feeble/abysmal opening batsmen in action.

 

[aussie1st]

Oh that sucks Pal you could really have put the nail in the coffin to securing an upset win.

Such a long wait for your match Suren.

Here comes the clean up crew

31.5 W Mohammed to Anjum
That was an absolute ripper from Mohammed.

32.1 W Hamed to Rizwanullah
Bowled him!!! Rizwanullah failed to pick the wrong 'un.

 

[angryangy]

Fighting Mongooses 4/190 (30.0)
Dodge 2 (8 balls)
Glasser 3 (6 balls)
Dixon 10-0-66-1
Hadland 5-0-22-2

 

[aussie1st]

My bad Angry looks like I jinxed Barton. Hope BT doesn't do a collapse on you 4 wickets down isn't what you want with BT these days.

A wicket each over giving Hamed a 5 fer and Mohmaed a 2 fer.

33.3 W Mohammed to Inamullah
A much quicker delivery catches Inamullah by surprise and he fails to get any bat on it as the ball hits him in front of middle and leg.

34.5 W Hamed to Wali
Masibulele standing up to the wicket has paid off, Wali tried to hit Hamed back over his head for six but missed the ball, Masibulele didn't hesitate to whip off the bails!

End of Over 35: 107-10, runrate=3.06
Hamed 7-3-18-5
Akhtar* 2 (6 balls)

 

[angryangy]

Fighting Mongooses 4/253 (40.0)
Dodge 40 (43 balls)
Glasser 27 (32 balls)

Interesting period ahead. At least the total will be defensible.

Oh, too soon. Dodge gone for 43. Way comes in.

He knows why he's there. Doesn't waste a ball.

41.4 4 Hadland to Way
Four! Great shot by Way.
41.3 4 Hadland to Way
Plays that on the back foot and that's four runs.
41.2 4 Hadland to Way
Shot! Hadland drops it in too short, Way sees it like a pumpkin, rocks back and pulls powerfully through mid wicket. Not perfectly timed, but he certainly gave it a clout.

 

[aussie1st]

You won't lose with that total Angry.

Long time between 4 but I'll take it.

0.3 4 Wali to Germon
A leg glance is chased by Qadeer. Can he save the four? He dives, but did he touch the rope? The third umpire says he did. Four runs.

5.6 4 Inamullah to Germon
Wide and smeared to the cover boundary.

End of Over 6: 27-0, runrate=4.50, reqrunrate=1.84 (107-10)
Inamullah 3-0-15-0
Masibulele* 3 (12 balls)
Germon 22 (24 balls)

 

[angryangy]

Way done for 25 (15). 6/303 and here we go Battrick creating a hattrick out of thin air.

46.3 W Bradshaw to Cable
He's behind you!!! No seriously, thin edge from Cable and Dunn celebrates one of the easiest catches he'll take all season.
46.2 W Bradshaw to Miah
Miah gets himself in a complete muddle there and is trapped LBW in front of the stumps.
46.1 W Bradshaw to Mametsa
The gap between Mametsa's bat and pad could have let an oil tanker through. Mametsa's stumps are scattered and he trudges off despondently to the pavilion while Bradshaw is engulfed by his team mates with Dunn and Henry leading the high fives.

Fighting Mongooses 306 (47.3)
Barton 103
Browne 53
Glasser 49 n.o.
Hadland 5/48 (7.3)
Bradshaw 4/65 (9.0)

 

[aussie1st]

No surprise there once you go 4 wickets down seems like you will have a collapse somewhere.

The snail Masi out for 3

6.5 W Wali to Masibulele
What a magnificent shot! No, he's out. Caught by Gauhar in the deep.

Chav in an explosive mood today.

6.6 4 Wali to Chavhanga
That was a bad ball by Wali and Chavhanga puts it away for four runs.
7.3 4 Inamullah to Chavhanga
Played the ball with the spin and was always in control of that one.
7.2 4 Inamullah to Chavhanga
Good hit from Chavhanga, Alshaun is underneath it but gets his feet tangled and tumbles backwards much to the annoyance of Inamullah. Four runs.
9.4 4 Inamullah to Chavhanga
Magnificent shot straight down the ground and deep mid off can't get there in time to cut it off.

Germon finally hits another 4.

End of Over 11: 60-1, runrate=5.45, reqrunrate=1.23 (107-10)
Wali 6-0-25-1
Chavhanga* 20 (9 balls)
Germon 35 (40 balls)
Last Wicket: Masibulele c. Gauhar b. Wali 3 (FOW: 27/1)
10.6 4 Wali to Germon
Fullish ball well outside off stump, Germon angles the face and runs it away between the slips and gully, beats two fielders diving towards it simultaneously. The ball races away to the vacant third man boundary.

Angry, you might have to post that on the Battrick collapses page.

 

[aussie1st]

Dam a run out, thank God I only have 30 odd runs left.

13.3 W Akhtar to Germon
Yes? No? Yes? No? No. Both batsmen end up at the same end like a pair of prize plums and it's a simple task for Suleman to whip the bails off. Bye bye, Germon.

End of Over 16: 80-2, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=0.82 (107-10)
Akhtar 3-1-6-0
Chavhanga* 31 (26 balls)

[Gilly Fan]

lol Syl.
16.2 W Anjum to Quintus
Goodness gracious! Quintus certainly won't want to see the replay of that shot, but I fear for his sake that we may be watching it on comedy sports TV shows for years to come. Totally bamboozled!

Lol.

 

[aussie1st]

Chav has got me home, I'm truely becoming a 1 man team these days. Wasn't looking to safe after I lost Quintus

18.5 6 Anjum to Chavhanga
Opens the shoulders and drives it well over long on.

End of Over 19: 105-3, runrate=5.53, reqrunrate=0.10 (107-10)
Anjum 3-0-22-1
Chavhanga* 48 (37 balls)
Ray 7 (6 balls)
Last Wicket: Quintus b. Anjum 1 (FOW: 81/3)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Good win, Syl. Either Masi saves ta or Chav.

 

[borncricketer]

Oh that sucks Pal you could really have put the nail in the coffin to securing an upset win.

He already got the upset win against me....
