That is satisfaction! Get in there!!! The way I was scoring this moring I was worried about being able to restrict them to a draw let alone bowling them out, luckily the tweaked bowling orders worked and my plan has come good and not made me look like a tool. Now to concentrate on tomorrows OD game!

 

[aussie1st]

[angryangy]

Got them 4 wickets down with 180 left to chase in 30 overs. A much needed win on the cards.

 

[Highlander999]

Woo, hat-trick time, shame it only goes down as 2 wickets to Roper

7.6 W Roper to Howard
Defensive stroke played, but the ball beats the bat as it nips back sharply and the bails are sent up into the air.

7.5 W Roper to Speare
Excellent work by silly mid off who dives, fields and throws in one movement, Speare was stranded just inches short.

7.4 W Roper to Wessels
Bowled! An unplayable delivery from Roper, swinging in before moving back up the hill - away from the batsman - to hit off stump. Not much Wessels could have done about that.

Game is pretty much in the bag here:

End of Over 9: 26-5, runrate=2.89, reqrunrate=7.15 (318-2)

Manders 5-0-15-2

Stroud* 1 (1 balls)
Killeen 6 (15 balls)

Last Wicket: Howard b. Roper 0 (FOW: 24/5)
