Great, I have got a breakthrough before the opener's first spell,

12.6 W Karthikeyan to Sifiso
Nicked and gone, simple catch for the keeper.

Still eying on RB's Naykutse & Whitehouse! These players can turn the game other way at any moment.

End of Over 38: 146-2, runrate=3.84, reqrunrate=5.08 (206-10)
Stanton 9-0-23-1
Nicholls* 6 (9 balls)
Wotton 20 (30 balls)

Last Wicket: Nicholls lbw b. Stanton 60 (FOW: 137/2)

Run rate about to get out of hand, especially with his best bowler with plenty of overs left, i must say leftie Stanton has impressed

38.3 W Pearse to Nicholls
Edged! And taken by a tumbling Dunn!

Im wishing I played my top team now

 

[aussie1st]

You should have it from there unless BT collapses you again.

 

[surendar]

Still, you would get that victory Griffy!

And in my game, only few minutes before, 2nd wicket felt for Amodh,

28.3 W Walton to Milton
Walton gets a mile of turn and Milton cant believe his eyes. That one pitched well outside leg and has hit the top of off stump! Great spin bowling there from Walton!

Warny's type of dismissal At the end of 30 overs,

End of Over 30: 106-2, runrate=3.53
Walton 3-0-10-0
Naykutse* 3 (4 balls)
Salahuddin 58 (92 balls)
Last Wicket: Milton b. Walton 24 (FOW: 102/2)

Amodh has done extremely well till now. Keeping wickets in hand for last 20 overs sends a danger signal to my bowlers.

Lets see...

End of Over 45: 188-6, runrate=4.18, reqrunrate=3.80 (206-10)
Shackell 8-0-29-1
Wotton* 39 (46 balls)
Dayton 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Thelwell c. Dodds b. Shackell 4 (FOW: 188/6)

45.1 4 Hadland to Wotton
Lots of width and driven away for four between point and cover.

This is gonna be close thank god for Thelwells 4 against Hadland! Dayton is the last tail ender without worthless batting with no all rounders playing

45.4 W Hadland to Harvey
Short ball on the stumps, a fairly innocuous delivery. Harvey goes after it, the ball clips the top edge and flies down toward backward square leg. Pearse runs across to his right, times his dive to perfection and comes up with a stunning acrobatic catch.

45.3 W Hadland to Dayton
Dayton gets himself in a complete muddle there and is trapped in front of the stumps.

IM SICK OF BT COLLAPSES!

End of Over 46: 193-8, runrate=4.20, reqrunrate=3.50 (206-10)
Hadland 8-0-34-5
Wotton* 44 (48 balls)
Islam 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Harvey c. Pearse b. Hadland 0 (FOW: 193/8)

CMON WOTTON FIND THE BOUNDARY!

46.2 4 Shackell to Wotton
Wotton has struck that one brilliantly for four runs.

46.3 2 Shackell to Wotton
A delivery short of a length is met with great timing by Wotton. The sweeper has to run a long way around the boundary and the batsmen, who set off quickly for the first, walk the second.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

46.4 2 Shackell to Wotton
Pushed into the leg side, Wotton comes charging down for the second, fantastic running there.

Pressure 50 from Wotton NEEDS TO GET ON STRIKE NEXT OVER!

End of Over 47: 203-8, runrate=4.32, reqrunrate=1.33 (206-10)
Shackell 9-0-39-1
Islam* 1 (3 balls)
Wotton 53 (53 balls)

Last Wicket: Harvey c. Pearse b. Hadland 0 (FOW: 193/8)

ARGH! PRESSURE!

47.2 1 Hadland to Islam
Good yorker by Hadland. Islam does extremely well to clamp down on it. Islam calls his partner through for a quick single. Good cricket all round there.

ISLAM YOUR SEXY!

47.6 W Hadland to Islam
Got him! Yes! He's bowled the classic inswinging yorker and the bails go flying, middle stump goes over and a wicket is lost.

End of Over 48: 205-9, runrate=4.27, reqrunrate=1.00 (206-10)
Hadland 9-0-36-6
Wotton* 54 (56 balls)
Elphick 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Islam b. Hadland 2 (FOW: 205/9)

LAST WICKET WOTTON ON STRIKE 2 RUNS TO WIN

48.1 4 Shackell to Wotton
He whipped it away square on the on side and that one will trundle all the way.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO BT COLLAPSES DIDNT SCREW ME OVER THIS TIME! DO A LITTLE DANCE MAKE A LITTLE LOVE GET DOWN TONIGHT!

And that's the end of the match. The Southern Sharks won by 1 wickets.
Mental Blank 206-10
The Southern Sharks 209-9

Well bowled Hadland he has my respect, great at closing the innings, WHAT A 50 BY WOTTON! in the best bowling conditions he still went at a run a ball!!!

 

[aussie1st]

Congrats on the win what a thriller that turned out to be.

 

[angryangy]

Lunchtime at the game between Hampton Central CC and Fighting Mongooses. It's a sunny day down south and Fighting Mongooses did not hesitate to bat, even though the pitch looked like it might suit the bowlers. FM have no fitness concerns and turned out in full force, which certainly registered on the scoreboard. Although early wickets fell, Barton combined with Sephake to form a 191 run unbeaten partnership, belying the lack of pace in this pitch. The medium pacers were restrictive, but in retrospect they surely would have given away a few more for a wicket.

Fighting Mongooses 2/296 (50.0)
Barton 156 n.o.
Sephake 94 n.o.
Khotso 1/48

And HCCC have been bowled out. The top order blasted away with their own monster 155 run partnership and for a time it looked as though Hiller was going to match Barton, however Cable was able to get a grip on things. Although wickets started to tumble, there was cause for concern as Hampton Central continued to stay in touch with the required run rate well into the death. However, Sheppard proved too hard to hit away and the last wicket fell at the 48th over. It was a very good all round display from both teams.

Hampton Central CC 255 (48.0)
Hiller 90
Atherton-ham 58
Sheppard 3/54 (9.0)

Ross XI batting:

Ghandi 8-0-33-3
Brackenbridge* 0 (2 balls)

Falken- 75
Kananelo- 70
Lund- 65 (44 balls)
Zuma 20 (20 balls). Zuma batted heroicly concidering hes fee/woe/worth batting

Alshaun 9-0-37-5
Ghandi 8-0-33-3

Iloveireland was reasonably happy with the total due to the start of the innings and considering he played five bowlers.

[ansariaamir_leo]

Falken, Kananelo and Lund played brilliantly...
After 42nd Over I thought u'll reach somewhere around 280-300, but thanx to Alshaun and Ghandi... Its game on!

11.2 4 Brackenbridge to Ali
Tweaked away past gully and I think that one will go all the way. Yes it has.

11.3 4 Brackenbridge to Ali
The crowd seemed to like that improvised shot, it was ugly but he timed it perfectly.

End of Over 12: 75-0, runrate=6.25, reqrunrate=4.84 (258-10)
Brackenbridge 1-0-8-0
Hitish* 27 (31 balls)
Ali 35 (41 balls)

I think my batsmen should be able to manage that....

21.5 4 Southern to Hitish
Hitish timed that to perfection right out the middle of the bat. If the fielding side had a whippet fielding he wouldn't catch that!
And that's his fifty! Well played.

21.4 1 Southern to Ali
Pushes it to mid on and runs a quick single.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Well played lads...
