[rabbitoh rob]

Dawson s about to come back into the attack, touch wood he can take a wicket or eight to slow them down.

Dawson does it again

End of Over 41: 256-4, runrate=6.24
Dawson 6-0-33-3
Sohail* 51 (55 balls)
Moodley 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Duminda c. Hammond b. Dawson 0 (FOW: 256/4)


40.6 W Dawson to Duminda
Hammond takes a fantastic catch diving in front of first slip, after Duminda went for a drive and got a thick outside edge. Dawson is ecstatic after that one.
40.5 W Dawson to Folkes
Bowled by Dawson caught by Hammond. An absolute gem of a delivery by Dawson, pitching on off, seaming away and finding the edge to the dismay of Folkes

44.1 W Dawson to Ali
Bowled him! Good length ball with a hint of swing, misjudgement from Ali as it clatters into off stump!

Dawson doing the job but i dont have the batting to chase down the total.

End of Over 47: 296-9, runrate=6.30
Dawson 9-0-39-7
Moodley* 24 (14 balls)
Mcmahon 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Bignot c. Vine b. Dawson 0 (FOW: 296/9)


46.6 . Dawson to Mcmahon
Short, lifting ball. No room to free the arms and he has to be content with defending down into the covers.
46.5 W Dawson to Bignot
Dawson drags it short and Bignot is caught by surprise. Ugly looking pull shot and the ball balloons up towards mid wicket. Vine settles under it and takes a comfortable catch.
46.4 W Dawson to Vusi
Great ball from Dawson. Full and straight and middle stump is flattened.
46.3 W Dawson to Burdett
Off the gloves into Hammond's hands... I'm not sure what's worse, being out or getting hit on the fingers with a ball of that speed. OUCH!
46.2 . Dawson to Burdett
What a marvellous piece of bowling by Dawson. He's beaten Burdett all ends up.
46.1 1 Dawson to Moodley
Big bottom edge but they'll scamper a quick single

Dawson all class not much to be said for the other boys in red and green.

potential 10 wicket win

 

[Left_Hander]

Well, I won the game against Leftie today. Missed the game as I went out.. Hunting Tigers managed to win with around 13 overs to spare.

Tough luck, leftie.. Better luck next time!

I never to seem to match up to you. We are fairly even teams but you always beat me. I even played my star bowler Hadland, who went wicket-less.

Last Wicket: Long lbw b. Mcleod 3 (FOW: 87/4)

Bowling first on a dusty deck with my bowlers from my B Team. Doing pretty good here, should have them all out by the end of the day at least.

Bowling first on a Green Pitch. Hmmm...

 

[Hooper]

53.3 . Appleby to Kasprowicz
Kasprowicz is beaten all ends up as he is distracted by a streaker vaulting over the long off fence. Play is stopped momentarily as she leads the stewards a merry dance around the field, before being tackled by Poulter.

Has to be one of the funniest pieces of commentary I have seen on Battrick

Last Wicket: Buchan lbw b. Brandy 6 (FOW: 10/1)

Wotton venting his frustrations of losing in the shield against a team better than mine but with poor PFL on a hard and fast pitch

Has to be one of the funniest pieces of commentary I have seen on Battrick

Your game?

I think the names are just as funny.

 

[Hooper]

Yeah, my match today.

The names aren't that funny

 

[aussie1st]

Got what I wanted with the toss sadly my 2 best FC batsmen got run out cheaply so I could do some bot rigging

1st day Baggy Blues 7/742 (Lee 224, Cook 183)

 

[Left_Hander]

End of Over 21 (7 runs). Mental Blank: 75-0, runrate=3.57
Trail by 206 runs. (chipper11 281-10)
Harding 8-2-21-0
Richardson* 48 (76 balls)
Basson 21 (50 balls)

Great opening stand here. Richardson closing in on another FC milestone. Both batsmen have been kept pretty quiet out there, particuarly Basson.

21.6 1 Fray to Richardson
Good length ball on off stump and Richardson is forward in defence with the bat in front of the pad. The ball squirts of an inside to the on side and they sneak a single. Good running.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Well played Dave. Go on get another ton!

Yeah, my match today.

The names aren't that funny

Kasprowicz and Appeleby. First one is a cricketer and the second a golfer (I think)

Richardson getting closer...

40.5 1 Harding to Basson
Gently worked around to the mid wicket region.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Well done Basson. You finally got there . Continue on your strong start.

Harding 18-2-46-0
Basson* 50 (95 balls)
Richardson 92 (154 balls)

Good position to be in at lunch. All me in that session. Richardson will have to wait till after lunch for a chance to bring up his ton.

48.1 4 Harding to Richardson
Brilliantly fielded by Lewis, but I'm afraid it's all in vain, the batsmen have run through for four.
And that's a century for Richardson! Well played indeed Sir!

Nearly gave me a heart attack in getting there but he has finally done it. Took a while, kept on getting singles in the 90's and finally brings it up with a four. Well played son! Great work Davey!

End of Over 49 (5 runs). Mental Blank: 174-0, runrate=3.55
Trail by 107 runs. (chipper11 281-10)
