Omg

Fighting Mongooses 7/215 (46.0)
Dodge out in the 90s and it seemed like the line had ended there and then.

Fighting Mongooses 8/219 (47.0)
Somehow, the game refused to die.

Fighting Mongooses 9/225 (48.0)
Only 1 wicket left, but only 8 runs behind.

48.1 4 Stevenson to Moodley
A long hop outside off and Moodley pulls that imperiously between mid on and mid wicket.

Bad time for one of those.

48.2 . Stevenson to Moodley
Moodley raises the bat and lets it through to Love. If he has many more leaves he'll be a tree!

48.3 4 Stevenson to Moodley
Stevenson briefly had the batsman in two minds with that delivery. He didn't know whether to hit him for four or six. Moodley eventually settles for the four.

Scores level.

48.4 nb1 Stevenson to Moodley
no ball, He?ll be looking for two here, but a great stop keeps it to a single.

Number 11 saves the day (with a little help). A captain's knock for the ages!

End of Over 39: 185-1, runrate=4.74
Faulkner 8-0-39-0
Bignot* 67 (111 balls)
David 105 (125 balls)

Last Wicket: Kemp b. Pearce 0 (FOW: 8/1)

Excellent knock from David :hpraise now need to start assault in the last 10 overs

40.6 1 Pearce to Mcgoldrick
Short of a length and is nudged off the hips. Mcgoldrick scurries off looking for the run and narrowly beats Duncan's throw.
40.5 W Pearce to David
David comes down the track and has a swing at Pearce. He misses and the ball goes through to Barlow. He takes off the bails but has David got back in his crease? The man in the middle goes to the 3rd umpire... OUT, the bat just on the line!
40.4 1 Pearce to Flower
Played out to extra cover for a single.
40.3 W Pearce to Bignot
Controversy here as Bignot refuses to walk! Snicko is inconclusive, but Bignot clearly felt there was no edge. Eventually he trudges disconsolately back to the pavilion, but the Match Referee may have something to say about that little episode! 40.2 1 Pearce to David
Nice - a nudge into the covers and an instant call. Well run.
40.1 1 Pearce to Bignot
Outstanding save from Ferguson! Bignot creamed that to the covers and Ferguson dived full length to his left to cut off a boundary.

This one over has just .........

 

[aussie1st]

Ray produced a sensational knock

End of Over 48: 245-8, runrate=5.10, reqrunrate=8.50 (261-10)
Semple 9-0-57-2
Ray* 65 (40 balls)
Mampe 0 (0 balls)

But he got out first ball next over and the tail collapsed.

If only one of Chav or Masi performed, yet again they failed together.

42.3 W Pearce to Stifler
The batting team looks on in disbelief as Mullen takes an unbelievable catch at cover, diving to his left and catching the ball one handed in mid-air. The fielding team is jubilant.
42.2 W Pearce to Mcgoldrick
Oh my lord, Mcgoldrick had no clue where that ball came from but he sure knows where it ended up, trickling down the pitch after uprooting middle stump. 42.1 1 Pearce to Flower
Slogged away to the man in the deep. Good fielding keeps it down to one.

Damn BT Collapse : :cutit

[borncricketer]

tough luck there WC...

good game ther syl, soo close to a win, and u even matched his ratings:O

batting first against BFN Bombers...facing the feared Samuel...

2.6 4 Samuel to Folkes
A good ball but Folkes does well to work it firmly to leg, and it beats Backley to the rope.
2.5 4 Samuel to Folkes
Folkes pulls strongly and beats the mid wicket fielder. Just a tad short by Samuel and Folkes was quickly onto the back foot. Nice shot.

Good job Folkes!

End of Over 5: 20-0, runrate=4.00
Samuel 3-0-15-0

Hiller* 3 (4 balls)
Coppinger 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Jp c. Upton b. Whitehouse 0 (FOW: 11/4)
3.6 W Whitehouse to Jp
You won't see an easier catch than that, Upton didn't have to move in the end.
3.5 . Whitehouse to Jp
Good fielding at mid on.
3.4 W Whitehouse to Wilkinson
Bowlers live for moments like this. With a satisfying 'bink', the middle stump has been knocked clean out of the ground.
3.3 . Whitehouse to Wilkinson
Shortish ball on off stump, watchfully defended from the crease and tapped back to Whitehouse.
3.2 W Whitehouse to Atherton-ham
Ball pitched outside off, Atherton-ham attempts to cut, gets a thick inside edge and makes a mess of his stumps.
3.1 1 Whitehouse to Hiller
Wanted some room, mistimed, cover runs in to field.

End of Over 3: 10-1, runrate=3.33, reqrunrate=3.79 (187-10)
