[surendar]

A century in style by Baloch,

71.6 6 Bhutia to Baloch
That's a massive hit! Six runs! The ball was still on the way up as it passed the boundary!
And that's a century for Baloch! Well played indeed Sir!

First Triple centurion of Hunting Tigers ~ Rampaul

72.2 2 Singh to Rampaul
Pushed through the covers, Bhutia sprints around in the deep, but can't prevent the batsmen coming back for two.
A triple century. Excellent innings this.

[surendar]

What will be ur declaration 5000

Whatever score my batsmen can reach by Day2's end. I just want the game to get extended to Day 3 because its a home game So probably i am going to set some high total like 1500-1700 now in orders to make sure that they are batting till the EOD2. Lets see how it goes.

Lunch day 2

Fighting Mongooses 8/300 (80.0)
Barton 78
Hamed 51 n.o.
Browne 47
Lewington 3/61 (18.0)

Barton and Browne took the score past 200, but the middle order fell sharply midway through the morning session. Hamed then stepped in, batting sensibly with the tail and muscling boundaries, bringing up his 50 with a pair of sixes at the very end of the session. The lead is 153.

 

[surendar]

My team still going strong to bat through out the Day 2

End of Over 103 (8 runs). HuntingTigers: 826-1, runrate=8.02
Lead by 803 runs. (player 23-10)
Singh 22-0-160-0

Rampaul* 392 (323 balls)
Baloch 203 (177 balls)

Last Wicket: Bartlett c. Karthikeyan b. Rampaul 192 (FOW: 437/1)

hehe, First 400 for HuntingTigers ~ Rampaul

104.5 3 Singh to Rampaul
Short in length and on the off stump line. Rampaul rocks back and punches it through cover. Good fielding prevents 4, but good running gets them 3.
400!! Don't see that very often.

nice nice..
