Decent start... need them to get out under 200... this is a battle for promotion

3.6 W Hammill to Africa
Africa nicked the one that pitched perfectly in the corridor, caught by Hilton.

Game is very much on my side now...

1.2 W Coutts to Jakobus
The was more out than the outiest out thing in the whole of Outland. Middle stump out of the ground.

Got the wicket I wanted but haven't followed up and at 10 overs, Shev is in control.

End of Over 10: 62-1, runrate=6.20

Tenius 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Holt c. Staveley b. Dangasela 0 (FOW: 55/8)


12.6 W Dangasela to Holt
Blinding catch in the gully by Staveley - that was hit hard and low.
12.5 W Dangasela to Dhillon
Bowled him! All over the shop. An attempted drive but he missed it and he's gone.
12.4 . Dangasela to Dhillon
On the back foot, defends to the off, tempted for the single but sent back.
12.3 W Dangasela to Mosheua
Beautiful slower ball from Dangasela, deceiving the batsman who plays far too early and is caught at cover.
12.2 2 Dangasela to Mosheua
Not the best of deliveries, he's lucky he's got a sweeper there in the deep to cut off that shot. Two runs nevertheless for Mosheua.
12.1 1 Dangasela to Wilbrahim
Gave himself some room but mistimed it. Long on fielding.

Dangasela has ripped Muireston's lineup...

Coutts 7-0-37-1
Convery* 40 (61 balls)
Lunt 78 (77 balls)
Last Wicket: Jakobus b. Coutts 3 (FOW: 5/1)

Although a batting pitch I still think Shev is in control and I definitely need a few quick wickets.

Jaztheman added 34 Minutes and 27 Seconds later...

31.5 W Burger to Lunt
'Cómooo sea esoooo?' screams Burger who has just returned from a holiday in Spain. 'Out' replies the umpire.

Finally the wicket has come! 154 runs were put on for their second wicket partnership which, if a collapse does not occur, could put them on their way to victory. If I can get Convery soon then we have a match on our hands!

Hydes* 33 (39 balls)
Ramprakash 7 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Callery c. Rheams b. Watkiss 50 (FOW: 126/3)

This two must blast from now on so that i can give some competition!

33.2 W Burger to Clarkson
Goes for the slog-sweep, but mistimes it and has holed out to deep mid wicket.

Burger you legend in the making! Although it isn't Convery who has gone, the wicket of Clarkson has put the match right in the balance and I think that Shev's team are only slightly winning now. This match is turning out to be a belter.

Jaztheman added 27 Minutes and 30 Seconds later...

40.1 W Sotho to Littlejohn
Missed everything but middle stump...

40.4 W Sotho to Wilbrahim
He's out! That was a disgraceful shot. It was a wide ball and he's had a little dabble and gifted Hodge a catch.

End of Over 41: 207-5, runrate=5.05
Sotho 6-0-35-2
Convery* 93 (116 balls)
Fadeer 1 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Wilbrahim c. Hodge b. Sotho 1 (FOW: 205/5)

In control now. Hopefully I can get him all out for less than 250 which would be remarkable considering he was 159/1. Collapse could be imminent.

41.1 W Nkoe to Convery
Out, Convery is gone. Nkoe put it right in the blockhole, and Convery fell over himself like a stumbling toddler. It's hit the pad and the umpire correctly judged it would have gone on to hit leg stump.

Potter 7-0-46-1
Seaby* 29 (28 balls)
Maxfield 31 (27 balls)

Probably going to lose. I don't think I could chase much over 200.

End of Over 10: 53-0, runrate=5.30, reqrunrate=5.30 (264-7)
Keigher 5-0-23-0
Mcdonald* 29 (31 balls)
Wylie 23 (29 balls)

Shev's tail did well to get him a respectable score after a collapse but on this pitch, I should be able to do it. Keigher is their best bowler and he hasn't been very effective so far.

14.6 W Edgerley-harris to Maxfield
The batsman is struck on the back foot right in front of middle stump. Plumb LBW.

Harris takes a key wicket in a rare chance with the ball.

I am playing Wiki Wanderers

 

[surendar]

Always I see this pair bringing you buckets and buckets of runs without any demand. And I am playing AP today. It's in WestIndies. I was waiting for a long time for HT to tour WestIndies and play a match there Waiting for it to begin...

Fadeer 6-0-32-0
Wylie* 53 (73 balls)
Raisani 8 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Mcdonald c. Janes b. Littlejohn 54 (FOW: 106/1)

Should still chase down his score on a flat pitch although Raisani is very inconsistent for me. Hopefully Wylie can take us to victory.

Wow. Harris rarely bowls but I chose him for the added batting depth and he takes 4 wickets. Pretty much have to bowl him whenever his pf allows, now.
