Ramsgate RSL CC 3/40 (10.0)
Lampard 9 (14 balls)
Henry 0 (0 balls)

Cable 5-0-25-1
Sheppard 5-1-14-1

The crazy order hasn't suited Cable much, but they've not given much away. I could stand to stick with Sheppard opening even though he's medium pace.

Ramsgate RSL CC 5/139 (30.0)
Lampard 61 (67 balls)
Bradshaw 27 (38 balls)

Miah 3-0-15-0
Mametsa 8-0-45-0

At this stage I'm pretty safe, but this partnership just dawdles and dawdles along.

Good win angry. I'm playing in 34 mins.
I'm playing Wildwil in South Africa.

Finally my match starts.

We can tell you that Kloof XI 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 cloud day.

I wanted to bat anyway.

3.1 W Cudworth to Bridges
Oh yes! Superb delivery from Cudworth, pitched outside off stump and swung in late, Bridges shouldered arms and is mystified to see his off pole knocked out the ground. Quite simply an unplayable ball.

Damn, an early wicket.

3.3 W Cudworth to Barraclough
After some obvious confusion by Barraclough, he realizes its the death rattle and the umpire sends him off. Now we wait for Lawlor to find the bails..

3.5 W Cudworth to Myall
Good job Lawlor is as agile as a cat, that's as quick as they come.

OMFG! OMFG! OMFG!

End of Over 4: 15-3, runrate=3.75
Cudworth 2-0-8-3
Saich* 1 (1 balls)
Riley 1 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Myall st. Lawlor b. Cudworth 4 (FOW: 14/3)

 

[surendar]

Bad start to the match.. Lets see if a crucial partnership saves you. Atleast your match has started.. I need to wait for another 3 hours since my team is touring England

End of Over 8: 28-3, runrate=3.50
Cudworth 4-0-15-3
Riley* 5 (8 balls)
Saich 10 (18 balls)
Last Wicket: Myall st. Lawlor b. Cudworth 4 (FOW: 14/3)

End of Over 11: 40-3, runrate=3.64
Lawrence 6-0-23-0
Saich* 15 (26 balls)
Riley 12 (18 balls)
Last Wicket: Myall st. Lawlor b. Cudworth 4 (FOW: 14/3)

7 from the over!

11.5 4 Cudworth to Saich
A streaky shot! Pitched outside off stump, Saich drives, gets an outside edge just past Van niekerk at gully to the third man fence.

Woo! A 4!

15.4 W Gibson to Saich
Outside edge, Kanelo waiting for it at backward point and an easy catch as Saich makes his way back to the changing room.

One more wicket in the next couple of overs and we can say goodbye to this game. And maybe an addition to the Wall of Collapses.

End of Over 19: 76-4, runrate=4.00
Heath 3-0-12-0
Riley* 33 (42 balls)
Vusi 0 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Saich c. Kanelo b. Gibson 29 (FOW: 62/4)

Vusi hasn't faced a ball in 2 overs.

23.4 W Gibson to Riley
A doosra. Pitched in line with the stumps and turning away. Riley, on the back foot , defends but the ball takes the edge to Lawlor. Gibson strikes!

Good night match! Hello battrick collapse!

End of Over 24: 90-5, runrate=3.75
Gibson 5-0-13-2
Vusi* 7 (15 balls)
Handbury 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Riley c. Lawlor b. Gibson 38 (FOW: 90/5)

25.5 W Van niekerk to Handbury
OUT! That little inch of seam has put Handbury in all sorts of bother and he's trapped LBW.

Heeeeeeeeeeeere it comes!

End of Over 27: 95-6, runrate=3.52
Heath 7-0-21-0
Vusi* 11 (22 balls)
Lisbie 0 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Handbury lbw b. Van niekerk 1 (FOW: 94/6)

29.2 2 Van niekerk to Vusi
Solid stroke to wide mid on, misfield as they turn for the second.
29.1 4 Van niekerk to Vusi
Short outside off stump. Vusi pounces like a cat and hammers it between point and extra cover, beautifully timed.

Nice.

29.3 W Van niekerk to Vusi
A full ball, Vusi mistimed it and got the top edge, Van niekerk took a simple catch.

Eep, a ball later....

End of Over 30: 107-7, runrate=3.57
Van niekerk 3-1-11-2
Lisbie* 0 (13 balls)
Caskey 0 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Vusi c & b. Van niekerk 21 (FOW: 107/7)

It will be all over soon....

Last Wicket: Vusi c & b. Van niekerk 21 (FOW: 107/7)

...

GILLY! did you break your promise?

???

32.5 6 Heath to Lisbie
A cacophony of horns and whistles erupts from the crowd as that one clears the long off roof and lands on the Chairman's Bentley in the car park. What a shot, although the club's insurers may not think so!

HAHA! Lisbie!!

 

[Griffo]

I put money on you

Lisbie 8 (29 balls)
Last Wicket: Vusi c & b. Van niekerk 21 (FOW: 107/7)

Slow batting.

I put money on you

Well the pressure of that money and travelling to South Africa for only the 2nd time has killed me. Maybe they were only coming here for a holiday?

34.1 4 Lawrence to Lisbie
Textbook cover drive. That's four.

Woo! Go Lisbie!

End of Over 35: 125-7, runrate=3.57
Lawrence 8-0-36-0
Caskey* 5 (14 balls)
Lisbie 13 (32 balls)
Last Wicket: Vusi c & b. Van niekerk 21 (FOW: 107/7)

Tail holding up well. Why do they do this when it's not a close match?

35.5 W Cudworth to Lisbie
Oh dear, bowled by a full toss, that should really have been given the treatment.

ARGH! I jinxed it!!

 

[Griffo]

does travelling actually effect your team???

 

[Gilly Fan]

36.5 W Lawrence to Longrigg
That's a poor decision by Longrigg, he's left a straight one which has flicked the top of his pad. Given out and rightly so.

1 more. And the pain is over.

End of Over 37: 132-9, runrate=3.57
Lawrence 9-0-42-1
Caskey* 8 (18 balls)
Tahir 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Longrigg lbw b. Lawrence 3 (FOW: 132/9)

37.5 W Cudworth to Tahir
Went for the big heave-ho, but completely missed it! He hangs his head as he makes the long walk back to the pavilion.

The pain and misery is over.

End of Over 38: 136-10, runrate=3.58
Cudworth 8-0-34-5
Caskey* 9 (19 balls)

THey came here for a holiday instead of a cricket match. They did not take it seriously at all. Terrible performance.
