Worst display by my batting lineup in a long time. Chasing 240 was all out for 153 in 40 overs. Masi and Germon were the stars with 50 but needed Masi to convert to a 100.

I had worse. Played my rival at home, green pitch, Best XI. Bowled first 4/270 odd, not a bat effort. Bowled out for 76. To say I wasn't happy is an understatement.

0.2 W Frazer to Gayle
Siyabonga claims the catch. The umpire takes his time making the decision but finally the finger goes up. Frazer is jubilant.

3 ducks in a row for Gayle

Using GFI and still getting smashed

End of Over 24: 146-2, runrate=6.08
Clayden 7-0-31-1
Challis* 64 (70 balls)
Wright 48 (35 balls)
Last Wicket: Kean lbw b. Mohammed 20 (FOW: 77/2)

A 5 Wicket Maiden from Matt "Abbo" Carrington

48.6 W Carrington to Dudgeon
Dudgeon's gone fishing outside the off stump but unfortunately for him, he's caught a big one. Wotton puts that one safely into the keep net.

48.5 W Carrington to Bolder
He's hit it high, really high. Was surely going for six until Harvey just managed to claw it to his grasp. Bolder will be disappointed with that one.

48.3 W Carrington to Thabiso
That's a classy looking drive with one major problem, he missed the ball. The clatter of the ball hitting the stumps confirms his departure.

48.2 W Carrington to Deacon
The ball struck Deacon in line and after a moment to consider where the ball pitched, the umpire raised the finger. Out!

48.1 W Carrington to Salmon
Hit down the ground but a slight miss hit means the ball won't clear Mbeki, good pressure catch.

Using GFI and still getting smashed

Thats bad Syl... You should have TIE to preserve atleast the PFL With training ahead and FC ahead, PFL hit might cost you.

Well, my cup game has began.. With two huge/crushing loss for HT last week, this game is very important.

We can tell you that HuntingTigers won the toss and elected to bat.

End of Over 2: 19-0, runrate=9.50
Malik 1-0-14-0

What was Malinga doing? He let that through his fingers and it went for four.
26.5 4 Malinga to Singh
Lofted drive away for four through the covers.
26.1 4 Malinga to Bishop
Flashing cover drive. The man in the covers doesn't move as the ball sails past him out to the boundary.

Nudged through the vacant square leg area. Long leg comes round to save two.

36.6 W Haishen to Tredgett
Huge bounce outside off. Tredgett tries to square cut off the back foot and sends a big nick through to Govender who pouches a straightforward catch at hip height.

Party time :happy
