[arunj1]

my openers are blazing through

End of Over 10: 84-0, runrate=8.40, reqrunrate=3.53 (224-10)

 

[aussie1st]

Geez that was a rubbish over from Clayden.
Hitish has gone alright in his first two.

End of Over 4: 39-0, runrate=9.75
Clayden 2-0-23-0
Ipaye* 21 (9 balls)
Grayston 13 (15 balls)

 

[Hooper]

My keeper is so damn good. Great over.

End of Over 19: 146-7, runrate=7.68
Mccafferty 4-1-6-5
Gayle* 64 (42 balls)
Daniels 2 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Westcarr st. Govender b. Mccafferty 0 (FOW: 144/7)


18.6 . Mccafferty to Daniels
Shortish ball just outside off stump. Quietly defended down into the covers.
18.5 2 Mccafferty to Daniels
Driven into the gap for a comfortable two.
18.4 W Mccafferty to Westcarr
Westcarr comes down the track and has a swing at Mccafferty. He misses and the ball goes through to Govender. He takes off the bails but has Westcarr got back in his crease? The man in the middle goes to the 3rd umpire... OUT, the bat just on the line!
18.3 . Mccafferty to Westcarr
Beautiful drive by Westcarr but its stopped by Shakes at silly midwicket. Ouch, that looks painful. Don't rub 'em son, count 'em.
18.2 W Mccafferty to Gwynne
A thin nick and taken behind by Govender. There was no need for Gwynne to go chasing that! 18.1 . Mccafferty to Gwynne
Perfect length from Mccafferty. That's exactly where he needs to pitch the ball on this wicket.

Good stumping off my medium pacer.

In total my keeper made 6 dismissals!

 

[aussie1st]

Missed the ending of my match but looked like a ripper.

jayjays ended up with 1/184 off their 20 overs.
Baggy Blues started off very slowly with usual OD openers taking their own sweet time. Ray was the first to go with the score on 38. Masibulele followed soon after and another two quick wickets left the Baggy Blues in real trouble at 4/79.

In came captain Steele to join the Great Chavhanga. The two produced a 100 run partnership to guide the Baggy Blues home with 1 home to spare. Chavhanga ended up with 69 in 33 balls with 5 massive 6s and Steele 61 off 27 balls.

Quite the upset when you look at the report summary.

just looked at your match commentary and I can't believe you've actually won this match ...espicially after this

End of Over 12: 80-4, runrate=6.67, reqrunrate=13.13 (184-1)

 

[surendar]

Nice win Syl.. Well my match started too..

We can tell you that HuntingTigers won the toss and elected to field

My bowlers clearly struggled against the remarkable top order Only one wicket till now,

11.4 W Wotton to Abdul kadir
Great diving catch by Hamed. Abdul kadir thought it was four!

Scorecard at the moment,

End of Over 19: 176-1, runrate=9.26
Macdonald 4-0-33-0
Jones* 26 (25 balls)
Ali 103 (66 balls)

Last Wicket: Abdul kadir c. Hamed b. Wotton 44 (FOW: 119/1)

This is not looking good

Well Love managed to get a awicket in last over,

19.4 W Love to Jones
Love produces a beautiful delivery and Rampaul easily catches and releases the ball in celebration. Did Jones get a slight edge? The umpire seems to think so and raises his crooked finger

First four balls were excellent but last two ball produced a 2 and a SIX!!!

End of Over 20: 186-2, runrate=9.30
Love 4-0-35-1
Ali* 104 (68 balls)
Naidoo 8 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Jones c. Rampaul b. Love 27 (FOW: 178/2)

So Hunting Tigers need 187 to win. Lets see how the chase begins.

 

[aussie1st]

Should be an interesting chase Suren could go either way.

 

[surendar]

Not a good start in chasing,

2.5 W Dodd to Rampaul
That one would have bowled even the best batsman in the world. He had no chance. Just too good.

Scorecard at the moment,

End of Over 3: 23-1, runrate=7.67, reqrunrate=9.65 (186-2) Dodd 2-0-14-1
Bishop* 14 (11 balls)
Malik 4 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Rampaul b. Dodd 3 (FOW: 19/1)

A huge dependency on Alshaun/Malik :upray

Noooooooooooooooooo... Malik departed

3.4 W Singh lali to Malik
Malik was expecting that one to cut away off the seam but it straightened up as the crow flies, found the gap and split middle and leg.

I lost all the hopes. :

 

[Hooper]

Hey Syl, did you win?

 

[surendar]

Hey Syl, did you win?

Yep he won the match

And in my match, the scorecard at the moment,

6.5 W Malik to Bishop
He's gone for the big heave, but it's gone way up in the air. Tailor gets himself underneath it and pockets the chance with glee. Out!

End of Over 7: 51-3, runrate=7.29, reqrunrate=10.46 (186-2)
Malik 2-0-13-1
Alshaun* 13 (10 balls)
Paki 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Bishop c. Tailor b. Malik 27 (FOW: 51/3)

I am clueless where this game is heading towards.

 

[aussie1st]

Just need a big partnership here Suren.
