Very balanced for you Ricky.

Clayden manages to get a wicket with his last ball.

29.6 W Clayden to Way
OUT! Clean bowled, Way misjudged that badly and it cost him.

29.2 W Matjhatjhametse to Sagren
Tried to smash that through the cover area, but Hiller was perfectly positioned and takes the catch at chest height.

End of Over 29: 156-2, runrate=5.38, reqrunrate=4.76 (255-10)
Coppinger 8-0-42-0
Sagren* 68 (74 balls)
Harley 71 (90 balls)

Is it too late though? Depends how quick the next wicket comes I think.

15.1 W Alshaun to Stride
A disaster for Stride! Went for the big one and he played it so late that Karthikeyan had already caught the ball and whipped off the bails by the time he finished his follow through.

End of Over 15: 87-1, runrate=5.80
Mohammed 1-0-10-0
Stride* 36 (40 balls)
Carragher 48 (47 balls)

Quite a relief for sometime :cool:

RRR starting to go up, if my spinners can't get the wickets then I'll take maidens.

End of Over 33: 138-4, runrate=4.18, reqrunrate=5.47 (230-10)
Hamed 7-1-22-1
Dodge* 1 (8 balls)
Browne 68 (97 balls)
Last Wicket: Way b. Clayden 18 (FOW: 134/4)

End of Over 18: 94-2, runrate=5.22
Alshaun 2-0-5-1
Carragher* 51 (50 balls)
Ardley 3 (14 balls)

Runrate is slowing down after Alshaun and Mohammad started their spell but i need the wicket of Carragher

 

[aussie1st]

Huge wicket of Browne

34.2 W Hamed to Browne
A stinker! Looks like it pitched outside leg to me. Hamed looks a little surprised by the decision. Next man in please.

End of Over 35: 148-5, runrate=4.23, reqrunrate=5.53 (230-10)
Hamed 8-1-24-2
Dodge* 10 (15 balls)
Sheppard 1 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Browne lbw b. Hamed 68 (FOW: 146/5)

And WC, are you playing Amodh?

Yes Suren bhai, I am playing Amodh

 

[Gilly Fan]

You're in the box seat Syl! Keep it going!

End of Over 33: 170-3, runrate=5.15, reqrunrate=5.06 (255-10)
Coppinger 10-0-47-0
Harley* 76 (101 balls)
Dangasela 4 (12 balls)

If in the next 7 overs I can get their run rate well down below the required, as well as pick up a wicket, I should win this one.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

End of Over 20: 98-3, runrate=4.90
Alshaun 3-0-8-2
Carragher* 55 (54 balls)
Salahuddin 0 (2 balls)

19.4 W Alshaun to Ardley
Thick edge from Ardley and it's hit the man at slip on the leg! It's in the air, it must be. Yes, Karthikeyan caught it! OUT!

I would have been more happy if i got that Carragher, though it is also a great wicket

End of Over 35: 179-3, runrate=5.11, reqrunrate=5.13 (255-10)
Matjhatjhametse 6-1-21-1
Dangasela* 7 (16 balls)
Harley 82 (109 balls)

Theres the first objective complete. Just need a wicket now, whose wicket I don't really care.

 

[aussie1st]

Harley looks like he is going to get out soon so expect the BT collapse to happen.

Not the greatest over from Mohammed


End of Over 38: 159-5, runrate=4.18, reqrunrate=6.00 (230-10)
Mohammed 9-2-37-1
Dodge* 17 (25 balls)

Last Wicket: Browne lbw b. Hamed 68 (FOW: 146/5)

35.3 W Khotso to Dangasela
Dangasela is arguing that he was far enough forward to that one. Umpire's not having any of it, though. On your way.

GREAT!

Leaving 4.3 overs till I reach my checkpoint, I think its only fair I add a subgoal of 1 more wicket.

End of Over 38: 191-4, runrate=5.03, reqrunrate=5.42 (255-10)
Khotso 9-0-52-1
Harley* 88 (115 balls)
Haishen 2 (9 balls)

2 overs until checkpoint, I'd say another wicket is reachable.
