Robinson  b. Van niekerk 32 (FOW: 61/1)
Myall  b. Nomvete 106 (FOW: 209/2)
Jepson  c. Pennant  b. Van niekerk 95 (FOW: 298/3)
Sturgess not out 105 (79 balls)
Saich* not out 31 (26 balls)

I'm happy with those scores. Would've like Jepson to get a ton and Robinson to make a higher score. Nice scores tho because it was Jepson and Sturgess' first time they batted for me.

Well, a bad start to the chase,

2.3 W Mckenna to Rampaul
We were going to check the stump camera's view. We can't now.

hmmm.. Openers are becoming a huge problem now a days for my team. I am looking for the replacement though..

End of Over 4: 15-1, runrate=3.75, reqrunrate=4.48 (220-5)
Sadlier 2-0-4-0
Bartlett* 10 (13 balls)
Malik 2 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Rampaul b. Mckenna 2 (FOW: 10/1)

 

[Gilly Fan]

End of Over 5: 24-0, runrate=4.80, reqrunrate=7.93 (380-3)
Handbury 3-0-12-0
Fenton* 6 (13 balls)
Basham 17 (17 balls)

I'd like some early wickets. Oh well, I'm off to bed. Cya.

Sean, when you wake up, you would have won by huge margin


And in my match, some good comeback from Malik/Bartlett.

End of Over 9: 53-1, runrate=5.89, reqrunrate=4.10 (220-5)
Mckenna 5-0-32-1
Malik* 21 (19 balls)
Bartlett 29 (29 balls)
Last Wicket: Rampaul b. Mckenna 2 (FOW: 10/1)

Its shocking,

11.5 W Cameron to Alshaun
Alshaun knocks the ball into the stratosphere. It goes high in the air and like a meteor it hurtles towards Sadlier who bravely holds on to the catch. His hands will certainly be sore for a good week.
11.4 W Cameron to Bartlett
Attempted the reverse paddle, but the ball goes straight on and hits off stump. What a soft dismissal.

Alshaun going for a duck that too in very first ball. This is going to be turning point of this match, Joe. Its still shocking!!!!

 

[Leicester Fox]

13.5 W Cameron to Field
Oh that's magnificent! Cat-like reactions from first slip to take that catch. They'll be replaying that one a few times in the studio.

Wow I'm back in it now!

 

[surendar]

Match is gone from my hands. :

13.5 W Cameron to Field
Oh that's magnificent! Cat-like reactions from first slip to take that catch. They'll be replaying that one a few times in the studio.

Cameron has created three major damages. Some irresponsible batting from my team which i am seeing it after ages.

 

[voldemort]

alshauns wicket reminds me of stanleys first ball duck against norfolk...

alshauns wicket reminds me of stanleys first ball duck against norfolk...

Well, that Alshaun's dismissal created a lot and lots of confusions in my team. The match took many directions and atlast, i am close to victory

Last Over :

40.6 	[B]4[/B]	Mckenna to Clarke
 	 	Bit of lift, on the back foot, played to a vacant deep, wide, mid wicket boundary.
40.5 	[B]4[/B]	Mckenna to Clarke
 	 	Stick a ribbon on it and call it a present! Any delivery like that and Clarke is going to send it away to the boundary. Four more.

40.3 	[B]3[/B]	Mckenna to Wotton
 	 	Drives Mckenna back down the ground but the ball does not have enough on it to reach the rope. Three runs.

40.1 	[B]6[/B]	Mckenna to Wotton
 	 	Full delivery and well timed. High over the umpire for six!

No mercy for McKenna. And the current situation is,

End of Over 41: 211-6, runrate=5.15, reqrunrate=1.11 (220-5)
Mckenna 6-0-49-1
Wotton* 12 (11 balls)
Clarke 25 (14 balls)
Last Wicket: Paki c. Mckenna b. Cameron 36 (FOW: 187/6)

Earlier :

After those quick 4 wickets, Malik and Paki played a great rescual act with a solid needed partnership. The score reached 172/4 and Malik got dismissed and Once again it was that Spinner.

35.6 W Cameron to Malik
Tries the cut shot, faint bottom edge, snapped up by the ever alert Cockerill.

The wicket came in the same over which Malik welcomed the spinner with a big SIX!!!!

Score reached 187 and Paki too got dismissed and once again it was the same spinner.

37.6 W Cameron to Paki
That's a great shot by Paki, but unfortunately it is matched by a great catch from Mckenna and he's out!

The situation once again pressed the panic button but at the right time, Clarke and Wotton showed no mercy to bowlers by some quick hittings

And the winning runs in style,

42.4 4 Mckenna to Wotton
Unorthodox shot to the bouncer, he's waited for it and intentionally lifted it over Cockerill for four. You don't set fields to that shot.

Thats it, Hunting Tigers won it in the end by 4 wickets. :happy What a match this has been.. Great fighting contest between both the teams.

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 4 wickets.
Broady 220-5
HuntingTigers 222-6

End of Over 43: 222-6, runrate=5.16
Mckenna 6-0-55-1
Clarke* 28 (18 balls)
Wotton 20 (17 balls)

Tough Luck Joe. I noticed that, spinner who bagged 5 wickets was just 17YO. Hope to see a bright future from him. Good luck for the remaining games

 

[arunj1]

Nice win Suren...looked kind of close

 

[voldemort]

well at least you won, i lost that match...

 

[Leicester Fox]

That last over was apalling!

 

[viral1991]

That was a very interesting match! And thats a fabulous win, Suren! Nice to see your batting perform even without Alshaun's support! Your bowling was very impressive on this flat pitch! Well done! Better luck next time, Joe.

 

[Bilal91]

damn...last week lost by 2runs...and this week 11...they just can't seem to finish it off properly...
