38.2 W Caskey to Muralitharan
Gone! Vicious inswinging yorker, and both Muralitharan and the stumps are on the ground!

Niiiiice!

Fowler 9-0-47-0
Kirby* 107 (99 balls)

Last Wicket: Whiteside c. Staveley b. Hutchinson 97 (FOW: 212/3)

Taht over had over 15

Then a WKT
42.6 W Holland to Kirby
Miller throws the ball and hits the stumps. The third umpire has a look... and has given Kirby the red light. Great fielding from Miller


End of Over 43: 281-4, runrate=6.53, reqrunrate=5.43 (318-3)
Holland 7-0-46-2
South* 36 (30 balls)

Last Wicket: Kirby Run Out 112 (FOW: 281/4)

Then ANOTHER WKT

43.5 W Fowler to Adrian
There was nothing graceful about that shot, Adrian left his crease and tried to smear Fowler over mid-wicket. Good work by the alert Dudgeon though

End of Over 44: 288-5, runrate=6.55, reqrunrate=5.17 (318-3)
Fowler 10-0-54-1
South* 42 (33 balls)

If south goes he is gone!

 

[Gilly Fan]

42.5 W Tahir to Fieldhouse
The umpire raises his finger for LBW. Fieldhouse is staring at the edge of his bat, he's obviously not pleased at that decision!

Just about over...

43.2 W Caskey to Thabethe
Absolute jaffa, bowled him all ends up. They'll need a technician out there as that stump camera is in several pieces.

End of Over 44: 258-9, runrate=5.86, reqrunrate=11.50 (326-4)
Caskey 10-2-52-5
Gratton* 17 (16 balls)

Terrific innings from both of them

 

[surendar]

Clarke was not upto the expectations.. He gave away runs... But managed to get the 6th wicket in Love's final spell

35.2 W Love to Haishen
You won't see an easier catch than that, Hamed didn't have to move in the end.

:happy Love's 4th wicket :happy

End of Over 36: 142-6, runrate=3.94
Love 8-1-23-4
Singh lali* 54 (80 balls)

com'on boys com'on.. You can do it:upray

 

[Gilly Fan]

And that's the end of the match. Aussie Bombers won by 19 runs.
Aussie Bombers 326-4
Real Payne United CC 307-9


End of Over 50: 307-9, runrate=6.14
Handbury 10-0-52-1
Walton* 21 (19 balls)
43 (37 balls)

Dissapointing! Absolutely terrible!

A lost wicket stand of 51 is just horrible. Shouldnt have happened.

 

[surendar]

Last 9 overs remaining... Need to get rid of Singh lali..

End of Over 41: 159-6, runrate=3.88
Hamed 6-1-17-0
Singh lali* 65 (97 balls)
Grabb 6 (19 balls)

Last Wicket: Haishen c. Hamed b. Love 28 (FOW: 140/6)

Crucial time for both the teams!

43.4 W Clarke to Singh lali
Singh lali looks to go after a short wide ball from Clarke but gets a thick inside edge which sends the ball flying into his stumps

Got him!!! :cool: And one more,

43.5 W Clarke to Facey
Facey drives to extra cover and calls a quick single... what a mix up. Macdonald with a great throw and Bishop whips off the bails. Poor cricket from the batting side.

Good throw and keeping...

End of Over 44: 172-8, runrate=3.91
Clarke 7-0-37-1
Grabb* 8 (23 balls)
Mansfield 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Facey Run Out 0 (FOW: 172/8)

 

[aussie1st]

You're cleaning up Suren, your batters should be able to get it unless he has a few superstar bowlers.

 

[angryangy]

Fighting Mongooses 324 (50.0)
Barton 150
Whaley 93
Hamed 64 n.o.
Ramsay 5/59 (10.0)

Rhino's 55 (15.2)
Mametsa 5/28 (7.0)
Miah 4/22 (7.0)

For now, it seems like an opponent will field his 'good' team in either FC or OD. However, from my observations on FC stamina drain, it's going to get very tricky to tell if an opponent will field a good team. They will be able to mix and match.

 

[surendar]

Ya Syl.. me too thinking the same.

Last two wickets,

49.4 W Clarke to Fallon
What was Fallon thinking going for the single on such a fieldable hit? A laser throw from Paki and Fallon goes back to the bench. Clarke is still wondering why his teammates are mobbing him.

47.6 W Clarke to Mansfield
What a catch! Clarke, diving to his left, has picked that one up inches from the turf! His teammates mob him with delight!

Very Pleased with the bowling.. now lets see how batting turns up,

End of Over 50: 185-10, runrate=3.70
Clarke 9-0-43-2
Grabb* 18 (40 balls)

So need 186 to win:upray

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

End of Over 50: 343-3, runrate=6.86
Islam 10-0-57-1
Paki* 33 (29 balls)
Tredgett 52 (32 balls)

Last Wicket: Karthikeyan c. Islam b. Haishen 129

Quite a good score on board now i need to see How Impey and Cook perform while bowling

 

[surendar]

Some positive start,

0.4 6 Mansfield to Bartlett
Tries the yorker but instead serves up a knee-high full toss which is dispatched over the ropes on the off side. Dreadful bowling.
2.4 4 Mansfield to Bishop
Bishop takes one step to turn a loose ball into a full toss, cracking it into the gap between mid wicket and a diving mid on. Timed and controlled beautifully.

scorecard,

End of Over 3: 17-0, runrate=5.67, reqrunrate=3.60 (185-10)
Mansfield 2-0-13-0
Bartlett* 9 (13 balls)
Bishop 5 (5 balls)

 

[Maxkarter]

A nice bot bashing going on again today, pity we didn't get to bt first, I would have liked to see what sort of total we could reach. Nice to have Samuel playing some league games after not playing most of the end of last season, I can't wait till his fitness is at a decent level again.

End of Over 13: 21-8, runrate=1.62
Samuel 7-3-7-4
Bird 1-1-0-1

Bird to bowl with Pinnock from now onwards, should be another 5 overs or so until thier ultimate demise.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

End of Over 10: 52-0, runrate=5.20, reqrunrate=7.30 (343-3)
Coleman 5-0-23-0
Tau* 17 (28 balls)
Moodley 30 (32 balls)

10 overs gone, not a single wicket : What is Coleman and Waters doing

End of Over 26: 124-1, runrate=4.77, reqrunrate=9.17 (343-3)
Cook 3-0-12-0
Paki* 28 (31 balls)
Moodley 57 (80 balls)

Last Wicket: Tau b. Impey 29 (FOW: 70/1)

Give me wickets :

 

[surendar]

5.5 [B]W[/B] Haishen to Bishop 
    He's out LBW. Good bowling, Haishen, very good bowling indeed.  
8.1 [B]W[/B] Mansfield to Malik 
    That's jagged back from outside off stump and popped up off the gloves of Malik, an easy catch by Waheed. 
12.5 [B]W [/B]Grabb to Alshaun 
    What a catch, that was a genuine stroke. Fantastic anticipation by Lungile at short leg.

:::

Both Alshaun and Malik failed to do their job when team needed the most from them.

End of Over 27: 98-3, runrate=3.63, reqrunrate=3.83 (185-10)
Facey 4-0-17-0
Field* 14 (40 balls)
Bartlett 46 (89 balls)

Last Wicket: Alshaun c. Lungile b. Grabb 19 (FOW: 54/3)

Very very crucial time.. It can go in either way... Both the batsmen have taken time to settle in... Please do it for the team:upray
