Match is changing its direction? :what

40.6 W Govender to Paki
Yes, he's got him LBW. Very little bounce from Govender's delivery, which has resulted in Paki being struck plumb in front.
40.5 W Govender to Alshaun
Clipped and caught. A smiling Malik trots in for some high-five action with Govender.
40.4 4 Govender to Alshaun
Late cut, into the gap and over the boundary at backward point.

Its always bad to get out after a boundary.. What a turn in this match!

End of Over 41: 210-5, runrate=5.12, reqrunrate=4.33 (248-10)
Govender 6-0-26-3
Field* 20 (25 balls)
Clarke 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Paki lbw b. Govender 0 (FOW: 210/5)

Can HuntingTigers avoid the further BT collapse????? It all depends on Field now! :cool:

 

[Gilly Fan]

NO! Griffo jinxed him!!!

3.5 W Malik to Myall
What a shame. Myall called for the run, and was about to make it comfortably, but he appeared to trip over his own feet. He tried to crawl desperately for the crease, but Malik whipped the bails off mercilessly.

End of Over 34: 206-3, runrate=6.06, reqrunrate=5.19 (288-3)
Malik 7-0-41-0
Saich* 1 (1 balls)
Sturgess 68 (70 balls)
Last Wicket: Myall Run Out 106 (FOW: 205/3)

34.2 6 Delap to Saich
A lofted drive back over Delap's head; six of the best for that man!

Saich!

 

[aussie1st]

Absolute ripper of a finish there Suren, you are close to your target but Viral is fighting back.

 

[viral1991]

Last Wicket: Clarke c. Fordham b. Haishen 1 (FOW: 213/6)
41.6 	W	Haishen to Clarke
 	 	It's gone high in the air... a straight forward catch. He's out!

This is a very close game.

42.1 4 Govender to Field
Delicious follow through as the ball races for four, his dad would be proud of that one.

Need 30 more runs and 4 wickets in hand.. this is tension... Field is the last hope:upray

End of Over 43: 219-6, runrate=5.09, reqrunrate=4.29 (248-10)

Last Wicket: Clarke c. Fordham b. Haishen 1 (FOW: 213/6)

Its close!!!

This reduces the pressure,

43.4 6 Haishen to Wotton
Up, and over the longest boundary. That will please Wotton.
43.3 4 Haishen to Wotton
Right off the middle of the bat and the ball races to the boundary.

20 Runs needed now....Com'on Tigers!!!

44.6 	1	Govender to Field
 	 	On the front foot, managed to work it around to the deep mid wicket region.
44.5 	.	Govender to Field
 	 	Good line and length ball on off stump, firmly driven straight to extra cover.
44.4 	1	Govender to Wotton
 	 	Solid stroke to long on, tempted for the second, sent back.
44.3 	1	Govender to Field
 	 	Advanced, played around to the region of deep mid wicket for the single.
44.2 	1	Govender to Wotton
 	 	Short and down the leg side. Wotton gets inside the line and turns it around to fine leg for a single.
44.1 	1	Govender to Field
 	 	There was never two there, so they almost walked the single.

Well, doing the basics right..i.e Rotation of Strikes

End of Over 46: 240-6, runrate=5.22, reqrunrate=2.25 (248-10)

38.2 W Delap to Sturgess
Well flighted. Sturgess trys to cut it and a thin bottom edge is taken by Farruhk. You need fast hands and sharp eyes for catches like that.

Crap! Up hill battle now! Last batting pair now!

Great win Suren. Awesome win!

 

[surendar]

You can still win Sean..

And in my game, just the basics are executed in right way,

46.6 	1	Govender to Field
 	 	Attempted hook shot but he edges it and picks up a single.
46.5 	1	Govender to Wotton
 	 	On the front foot, nipped around to the deep square leg region for the single.
46.4 	1	Govender to Field
 	 	On the front foot and pushed past Govender, long off races in to field.
46.3 	1	Govender to Wotton
 	 	The fielders couldn't decide who should pick up the ball and an unnecessary single is given away.
46.2 	1	Govender to Field
 	 	Worked around the legs to deep backward square.
46.1 	1	Govender to Wotton
 	 	Along the ground to mid off.

And finally, winning runs,

47.4 1 Fordham to Field
Driven to long on. Poor running and a mix up keeps it to one.

So thats it, Hunting Tigers have won a great contest against Krishna Team by 4 wickets. :happy

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 4 wickets.

Sri Krishna Team 248-10
HuntingTigers 249-6

Field* 38 (45 balls)
Wotton* 20 (16 balls)

It was a great game overall.. :cool: Tough luck Viral!

42.4 4 Abbasi to Saich
Short and too wide, this one sits up and begs to be hit. Saich clobbers the ball backward of point to the boundary.
42.3 4 Abbasi to Saich
Saich clatters it straight back down the wicket. Abbasi puts his foot out, but can't take any of the pace off the ball. Four runs.

Thats how, keeping wickets in hand always help at the end overs. Another great game Joe/Phil! :cool:
