Jepson is way too slow.

Great start Suren just what you needed. You were going alright Sean until that wicket.

Malik	53 (60 balls)

This partnership is looking really good! Malik is playing very aggressively! And yes, Suren, your team's bowling in the last overs was fantastic!

By the way, i can see a suprise player in Vira's line-up playing today,

He should be promoted from academy i believe.. With BTR 42 and playing in this match is what my team should look for now. ( oh wait.. i should somehow try to keep his other strong bowlers quiet though.. )

Yes, he is from the academy! My team's young star has very low PFL, so, Malik has replaced him!

12.6 W Bakht to Jepson
A thin nick and taken behind by Farruhk. There was no need for Jepson to go chasing that!

He was going way too slow for my liking.

9 from 18 balls.

I expected him to bowl though ;) Is Haishen your regular bowler? I thought that he was a batsman.

Well, the partnership is continuing,

Well, the partnership is continuing,

He is a batting all-rounder! He is given the ball whenever I rest a bowler!

And the match is pretty even at this stage.

Goin well.

21.1 6 Delap to Myall
Myall dances down the pitch and swipes that high over mid wicket! That's gone ten rows back, what a shot!

Long partnership coming to an end after Bartlett's steady 50,

29.3 W Haishen to Bartlett
Plumb! Superb bowling from Haishen. He bowls that full and nearly in the blockhole, it swings into Bartlett and hits him on the boot, simple decision for the umpire.

With Twenty Overs to go and 102 Runs needed,

End of Over 30: 147-2, runrate=4.90, reqrunrate=5.10 (248-10)
Haishen 5-0-29-1
Malik* 76 (92 balls)
Alshaun 5 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Bartlett lbw b. Haishen 51 (FOW: 140/2)

 

[aussie1st]

You are in the box seat right now Suren. Will need one of those collapses to lose it.

 

[viral1991]

So, Alshaun has come to the crease! It should be very interesting now!

 

[surendar]

Yep, its going to be interesting now especially after this happening,

32.3 W Moodley to Malik
Edged! And taken by a tumbling Harley!
32.2 4 Moodley to Malik
Too wide and cut away for four.

A boundary followed by a wicket.. Field and the Skip are under pressure.

End of Over 33: 162-3, runrate=4.91, reqrunrate=5.12 (248-10)

Excellent innings coming to an end! Well done Malik

It was an awesome innings!

Are they playing outside the stadium? :cool:

33.2 6 Al ameen to Alshaun

33.3 3 Al ameen to Alshaun
Alshaun has hit that right off the meat of the bat. Past long on for 3.

Skipper trying to release the pressure

lol Viral :laugh Like beach cricket, it should be street cricket

34.1 4 Haishen to Field
Nipped back, forward, solid drive into the gap at mid off. Very well placed.

Haishen must be feeling bit pressure as he is given the crucial role of batting all-rounder

Looking good, but I can't afford the famous collapse that former team name "Gillys Demolition Team" had. Hopefully the new "Aussie Bombers" don't have any.

 

[aussie1st]

Nice going Suren.
I've seen you in that position lots of times Sean hopefully your name change has indeed changed that.
