Given you bowled him out so cheaply last time round you're be fine. My declaration is still a bit away.

84.1 3 Taggart to Germon
Through mid wicket, they will get three for that.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

85.5 2 Griffiths to Masibulele
Not a lot of time to come back for the second, but a poor throw from Andrews almost gives them time for a third.
Thats his 150. A fine knock.

End of Over 102 (7 runs). Baggy Blues: 383-4, runrate=3.75 (1st Inn: 154-10)
Lead by 344 runs. (Hillside 193-10)
Paster 23-2-75-0
Germon* 79 (131 balls)
Masibulele 182 (275 balls)
Last Wicket: Quintus lbw b. Griffiths 41 (FOW: 210/4)

Should be able to get Germon a 100 and Masi a 200.

Switch to spin worked and the kingpin is dislodged.

16.1 W Cable to Pearse
Marvellous delivery that! Cable drew Pearse into the shot and a thick outside edge is well taken at first slip.

 

[aussie1st]

When you have a superstar like Cable that is always possible.

I'm sure I set my declearation total, must have changed the 1st inns as I declared at 400.
Masi got his 200 at least.

105.4 1 Paster to Masibulele
Masibulele leans back and steers it down to third man.
A double century. Very good innings this.

Bowlers haven't done much

End of Over 12 (5 runs). Hillside: 24-0, runrate=2.00 (1st Inn: 193-10)
Trail by 345 runs. (Baggy Blues 154-10 & 408-4 dec)
Clayden 4-2-7-0
Hilton* 9 (38 balls)
Ayres 13 (36 balls)

 

[angryangy]

Speak of the devil!

22.6 W Cable to Greene
Fantastic spin bowling from Cable! The ball drifted down the leg side and spun back sharply. Bowled Greene around his legs!

 

[aussie1st]

A Cable is what I need here, 3rd day pitch on dusty and my best bowlers are pacemen.

No Cable but he was on a hattrick in his first over!

23.4 W Hamed to Hilton
Hilton's belted that one, but he wasn't in control and so it didn't come off the middle of the bat. It's going to be either a six or a wicket. Mohammed steadies himself... OUT! Safe hands young man, you can carry the beers later!

23.5 W Hamed to Lancaster
Straightforward outside edge into Masibulele's gloves.

End of Over 24 (Maiden). Hillside: 48-2, runrate=2.00 (1st Inn: 193-10)
Trail by 321 runs. (Baggy Blues 154-10 & 408-4 dec)
Hamed 1-1-0-2
Ayres* 34 (71 balls)
Robinson 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Lancaster c. Masibulele b. Hamed 0 (FOW: 48/2)

41.2 W Miah to Jorrie
That's a spectacular catch, Sheppard was three feet in the air! That was six runs had he not pulled that off.

30 ball duck.

 

[aussie1st]

With your bowlers I'm not surprised. Looks like we're both pushing it with bowling them out on time. At least you have Mr Cable.

Finally Mohamed has got a wicket. Wish Steele would bring back my pacemen now.

34.2 W Mohammed to Ayres
Ayres has not picked that one from Mohammed. He tries to get forward but it's bat-pad and into the grateful hands of silly point.

End of Over 35 (Maiden). Hillside: 81-3, runrate=2.31 (1st Inn: 193-10)
Trail by 288 runs. (Baggy Blues 154-10 & 408-4 dec)
Mohammed 9-2-15-1
Robinson* 19 (37 balls)
Andrews 0 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Ayres c. Chavhanga b. Mohammed 45 (FOW: 81/3)

Still need 7 wickets going out of tea, tough ask against his med middle order.

 

[surendar]

You can do it Syl...

In my match, the opponents lost 7 remaining wickets in 6 overs i guess.. They were 82/3 yesterday and now 87 all out

FOW    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 
Total 5 26 46 82 83 83 85 85 85 87 
Batsman Out 2 1 3 4 6 7 8 5 9 11

What a collapse So seeing this, its possible for you too Syl And ya, Hunting Tigers won by a innings and some 100+ runs. :happy

 

[angryangy]

About time. Another savvy bowling change by the captain.

55.1 W Moodley to Tauqiruddin
Tauqiruddin hooks it, but mistimes it slightly and it falls into the safe hands of Barton at long leg.

5 down
5 to go
31 overs

 

[aussie1st]

Congrats Suren awesome display. Will be interesting seeing the report summary there.

That was boring commentary repeat of the one earlier.

43.4 W Hamed to Andrews
Andrews's belted that one, but he wasn't in control and so it didn't come off the middle of the bat. It's going to be either a six or a wicket. Mohammed steadies himself... OUT! Safe hands young man, you can carry the beers later!

Double strike

44.3 W Hitish to Robinson
That's a rocket! But it's hit right at Chavhanga, he juggles it and makes the catch. Outstanding fielding!

In exactly the same boat as Angy, my best 2 bowlers are on now. If they don't get wickets in this spell this game is a draw.

End of Over 49 (5 runs). Hillside: 124-5, runrate=2.53 (1st Inn: 193-10)
Trail by 245 runs. (Baggy Blues 154-10 & 408-4 dec)
Clayden 10-3-20-0
Manchester* 8 (13 balls)
Taggart 14 (16 balls)
Last Wicket: Robinson c. Chavhanga b. Hitish 32 (FOW: 102/5)

 

[angryangy]

Yeah, I really need Cable to come on in the next few overs and just bowl out the game. A wicket before hand wouldn't hurt.

 

[aussie1st]

Is he due for another spell?

Best bowler in the last inns has finally struck.

49.6 W Borrowdale to Manchester
A quick delivery and Manchester is left looking back at his stumps. He's gone!

4 wickets to go

Make that 3, was worried why Clayden was taken off but then I see

52.5 W Mohammed to Paster
Big appeal for LBW...and given! He doesn't seem to be happy with that decision. A big inside edge.

 

[surendar]

I predicted right then Syl You can win it easily from here..

 

[aussie1st]

Hmmm just noticed the best team in my league isn't taking FC seriously, last thing I want is to be promoted.

2 wickets to go

59.5 W Borrowdale to Taggart
A quick delivery and Taggart is left looking back at his stumps. He's gone!

And the BB have done it, could this be the making of Mohammed performing at the BB?

64.3 W Mohammed to Griffiths
Mohammed has fooled Griffiths in the flight as he danced down the track. Masibulele whips off the bails for a simple stumping!

66.5 W Mohammed to Lefu
Quick pick up and throw by Steele, direct hit on the stumps, Lefu has carried on running to the pavilion.

Baggy Blues win by 222 runs.

 

[surendar]

Thats awesome display Well done and congrads Syl!
