What happened to Sam?

 

[aussie1st]

Dropped for Sawyer.

 

[surendar]

Sawyer has not bowled bad either... Its just they(opponents) decided to move on with a steady face.. Syl, BT collapse can still help you.. Angy's team had some of such collapses too

No signs from Viral's openers to get back to pavilion,

End of Over 27: 126-0, runrate=4.67
Wotton 7-1-36-0
Moodley* 55 (74 balls)
Harley 68 (90 balls)

With wickets in hand, last 10 overs are never going to be safe for me now...

With 15 overs to go, i am very sure that its gonna be 300+ chase which is going to be very tough :

surendar can you show me wottons ratings please?

He is just a comp bowler with Battrick Rating: 7,481.. I am looking forward to a replacement soon though.. He usually have a good start in initial overs and give runs in the end.

Wotton 10-1-65-0

With almost 30 runs in last three overs for Wotton

 

[Gilly Fan]

28.1 W Longrigg to Sharif
That's a bad ball by Longrigg, short and wide but Sharif has edged the cut into his own stumps!

Wicket maiden for Longrigg.

End of Over 29: 166-2, runrate=5.72
Longrigg 8-1-40-1
Davies* 65 (63 balls)
Hussain 0 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Sharif b. Longrigg 79 (FOW: 166/2)

A couple of more wickets before the 40th over, and I could get a BT collapse.

Robson* 12 (10 balls)
Sagren 13 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Moodley c. Paki b. Clarke 100 (FOW: 199/2)

Last 3 overs : 26 runs.

With five overs to go, i think the target will be around 260-270.

A tight over with 4 runs,

45.6 	.	Clarke to Robson
 	 	That one seamed away nicely. Too good for Robson!
45.5 	.	Clarke to Robson
 	 	Robson soundly defends on the front foot, pushing the fullish delivery back to the bowler.
45.4 	1	Clarke to Sagren
 	 	Gave himself some room, bit mistimed, long on fielding.
45.3 	1	Clarke to Robson
 	 	Dabbed to point for a quick single. Alshaun shies at the non-striker's end but misses.
45.2 	1	Clarke to Sagren
 	 	Nudges just in front of point for a single.
45.1 	1	Clarke to Robson
 	 	Stroked to wide extra cover and a single taken.

Something good to cheer about again,

End of Over 46: 230-2, runrate=5.00
Clarke 8-1-34-1
Sagren* 15 (13 balls)
Robson 14 (14 balls)
Last Wicket: Moodley c. Paki b. Clarke 100 (FOW: 199/2)

Soon, a boundary...

46.2 4 Hamed to Robson
Ker-ching! Robson wastes no time cashing in on Hamed's mis-directed delivery. A graceful square cut races to the offside boundary.

A great reply from Hamed,

46.3 W Hamed to Robson
Well Robson has played all around that one as the ball pitched in the rough and bowled him round his legs! Take a bow son!

Thats nice little competition there.. Hamed/Clarke have done fantastic till now to maintain the pressure.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Its Hamed again,

46.6 W Hamed to Malik
He's gone for the big hit but has been caught on the boundary!

Hamed!!! Hamed!!! Hamed!!! is what i can hear now

[surendar]

Its time for Clarke to display some heroics now,

47.3 W Clarke to Malik
Out! Malik was placed there just for that shot, and he takes an easy chance at head height. Smart cricket there from the fielding team.

47.2 W Clarke to Haishen
Drives on the up...oh my goodness, he's hit it straight to mid off. Haishen has just thrown his wicket away and doesn't he know it!

47.6 W Clarke to Moodley
Short ball and it's been pulled straight up in the air! Long leg is running around to take the catch and does so. Super effort by Field, he had to cover a lot of ground.

Thats beauty.. 3 wickets in 6 balls :hpraise :hpraise :hpraise

End of Over 48: 238-7, runrate=4.96
Clarke 9-1-35-4
Sagren* 18 (16 balls)
Al ameen 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Moodley c. Field b. Clarke 0 (FOW: 238/7)

5th wicket for Clarke now,

49.2 W Clarke to Al ameen
Out! Al ameen had a nibble and Bishop takes a comfortable catch at waist height. Classic dismissal.

5 wickets haul! :happy Btw Hamed has finished his spell with,

Hamed 10-0-46-3
