0.1 W Macdonald to Padayachie
A slower delivery... and he's out. He played all round that and got a top edge to mid on.
2.1 W Macdonald to Moodley
Macdonald fires it in short, Moodley ducks, his bat held high. The ball doesn't bounce as much as he expected and it crashes into the 'periscope' and lobs up to third man.
4.4 W Macdonald to Mohammed
That's an absolute bobby-dazzler! Clean bowled.
End of Over 5: 9-3, runrate=1.80
Macdonald 3-0-4-3
Abdul kadir* 2 (4 balls)
Singh 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Mohammed b. Macdonald 3 (FOW: 9/3)
5.3 W Mulligan to Abdul kadir
Rampaul made a spectacular dive there, not sure if it was necessary but it was effective.
7.6 W Mulligan to Karthikeyan
He plays all around a straight one and is plumb in front.
9.4 W Mulligan to Singh
A ferocious in-swinger. Singh had absolutely no chance. Bowling from the top drawer.
9.6 W Mulligan to Malik
Plumb! Superb bowling from Mulligan. He bowls that full and nearly in the blockhole, it swings into Malik and hits him on the boot, simple decision for the umpire.
End of Over 10: 16-7, runrate=1.60
Mulligan 5-2-4-4
Haishen* 0 (1 balls)
Hamed 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Malik lbw b. Mulligan 0 (FOW: 16/7)
14.1 W Bolland to Hamed
There is no sweeter sound in cricket than the sound of the bails clattering to the floor, so it's no wonder that Bolland is pleased. Bowled him!
17.3 W Baloch to Rampaul
That's jagged back from outside off stump and popped up off the gloves of Rampaul, an easy catch by Rampaul.
18.1 W Bolland to Haishen
Tossed up outside off stump, the ball lands, spins the other way, and Haishen can only get half-forward and poke at it with an open faced bat. Rampaul leaps, cat-like, to take a superb catch behind the stumps.

[COLOR="Black"]0.6 [B]4[/B] Bhutia to Bartlett
Wallop! One bounce and it's four runs, nearly concussing the photographer that foolishly got in its way.
1.3 [B]4[/B] Rampaul to Rampaul
Rampaul showed Rampaul absolutely no respect there! It was a decent delivery pitched up on off stump, but Rampaul carved it over cow corner for four runs. Rampaul does not look happy at all!
1.6 [B]4[/B] Rampaul to Rampaul
Lift, picked up just over slips, third man running in vain to stop the boundary.
3.1 [B]4[/B] Rampaul to Rampaul
Rampaul went down on his knees as if to propose, but proceeded to dispose the ball over to the boundary.
3.3 [COLOR="Red"][B]3(Winning Runs) [/B][/COLOR]Rampaul to Rampaul
Rampaul makes room and hammers it through extra cover, runs hard and comfortably makes it back for the third.[/COLOR]
And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 10 wickets.
Ratnagiri CC 29-10(18.1 Overs)
HuntingTigers 32-0( 3.3 Overs )
Rampaul* 22 (12 balls)(MOTM)

You know the first wicket you got, how could it of been a slower delivery if it is the first ball?

[COLOR="Black"]0.6 [B]W [/B]Macdonald to Dhillon
[COLOR="Red"][B]Man alive! A firm drive stopped by a firm dive. Superbly caught by Alshaun.[/B][/COLOR]
[/COLOR]
4.6 W Macdonald to Rayno
Macdonald is delighed by that catch, Bishop dived wide to his left to take a stupendous catch off the inside edge of Rayno's bat!
End of Over 5 (2 runs). rajputs: 12-2, runrate=2.40
Macdonald 3-1-4-2
Naidoo* 4 (9 balls)
Rampaul 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Rayno c. Bishop b. Macdonald 7 (FOW: 12/2)
[COLOR="Black"]
13.6 [B]6[/B] Hamed to Naidoo
Up, up and away. Naidoo adds six runs to the total.
16.2 [B]6[/B] Wotton to Rampaul
Lovely clean strike back over Wotton, I'm betting that'll come down with snow on it![/COLOR]
24.5 W Macdonald to Naidoo
Somebody call a carpenter, the stumps have been obliterated!
FOW : Naidoo b. Macdonald 62 (FOW: 105/3)
End of Over 25 (2 runs). rajputs: 105-3, runrate=4.20
[COLOR="Black"]57.1 [B]6[/B] [B]Clarke to Padayachie[/B]
They'll have to remove the customs stickers from the ball when that one comes back, Padayachie has hit it to another continent - what a shot.
And that's his fifty! Well played.[/COLOR]
57.3 W Clarke to Padayachie
Clarke runs in, shortish ball around off stump. Padayachie goes back, and chops on! Padayachie has chopped on attempting to cut. Well, That ball was no where near wide enough to cut. Poor shot choice.
FOW : Last Wicket: Padayachie b. Clarke 55 (FOW: 210/4,58 Overs)
75.3 W Hamed to Woolner
Oh dear. Woolner only half commits to that delivery and a feeble piece of strokeplay gives the keeper an easy edge. A bread and butter catch for Bishop that one.
82.4 W Clarke to Padayachie
OUT, GONE! What a delivery from Clarke, cutting back into Padayachie who drove expansively, completely misreading the movement and it pings back his off stump.
86.3 W Clarke to Rampaul
Brilliant fielding by Alshaun. He backpedalled a long way and has caught him.
91.1 W Wotton to Duck
Oh yes! Superb delivery from Wotton, pitched outside off stump and swung in late, Duck shouldered arms and is mystified to see his off pole knocked out the ground. Quite simply an unplayable ball.
92.1 W Clarke to Tau
Hamed is under it, he won't drop this one... Oooops, he juggles it, but he hangs on in the end! Hamed lucked out there.
96.4 W Clarke to Mears
That was vicious! The ball spat up off the pitch towards Mears's throat, who could barely fend it away let alone play a decent shot, and it looped straight to Bartlett at backward point.

2.2 W Tau to Malik
The ball nipped back as he went for the pull and he gets a fine edge. Padayachie and Tau appeal like one man and the umpire sends Malik back to the changing rooms.
2.1 W Tau to Bartlett
OUT! Thin edge and Padayachie takes a textbook catch.
5.1 6 Duck to Alshaun
You can't set fields for shots like that, that's brilliant!
7.2 4 Duck to Alshaun
He's had a go at that one, he's got a lot of edge on it and it's gone flying away to third man for four past the diving fielder.
HuntingTigers,Total (13.0 overs, 2 wickets) 61(End of Day1)
V.Alshaun : 33*(30)
L.Bishop : 15*(38)
13.3 W Blake to Bishop
The ball bounced really low, hitting Bishop on the toe bang in front. Out to a grubber, how unlucky!
19.2 [B]4[/B] Blake to Alshaun
A very, very hard drive to extra cover. Fantastic timing.
25.3 [B]4[/B] Blake to Alshaun
Four runs. That went straight off the meat of the bat. An excellent cover drive by Alshaun.
And that's his fifty! Well played.
27.5 [B]4 [/B]Blake to Alshaun
He played that shot with grace and vision, all adding to Alshaun's gravitas as a batsman.
30.4 [B]4 [/B]Mears to Alshaun
Nice shot, they'll get three here…oh terrible throw to Padayachie and they'll run an extra one.
32.5 [B]4[/B] Mears to Alshaun
Picked up the length early and crashed the ball away for four through the leg side field.
38.6 [COLOR="Red"][B]6 [/B][/COLOR]Mears to Alshaun
Huge shot! It clipped a bird on the way up, feathers all over the place!
40.4 [B]4[/B] Mears to Alshaun
Cracking stroke through the on side.
42.2 1 Dhillon to Alshaun
Gently played out into the covers.
And that's a century for Alshaun! Well played indeed Sir!
[COLOR="Black"]46.3 [B]4 [/B]Dhillon to Alshaun
A lusty cover drive finds a gap in the field and races to the boundary.
46.2 [B]4 [/B]Dhillon to Alshaun
Down the leg side and Alshaun just helps it on its way to the fence for four.
46.1 [COLOR="Red"][B]6[/B][/COLOR] Dhillon to Alshaun
Alshaun has gone the tonk with that one - straight over long off for six.
50.2 [B]4[/B] Dhillon to Alshaun
Four of the best, deposited back over Dhillon's head. Vintage Alshaun.
50.1 [B]4[/B] Dhillon to Alshaun
Highly unorthodox and highly effective. Alshaun just carved that over point with no foot movement at all.[/COLOR]
55.6 4 Tau to Alshaun
Over the bowler's head and just short of six.
Thats his 150. A fine knock.
18.3 [B]4 [/B]Duck to Field
Field guards middle and leg, giving him room for a fantastic square cut. Four runs all the way.
29.1 [COLOR="Red"][B]6 [/B][/COLOR]Blake to Field
Beautifully lofted drive over the outstretched arms of Naidoo at long on for six.
29.4 [B]4 [/B]Blake to Field
Splits the off side field with a delicious square cut. He will enjoy seeing that one again later.
35.2 1 Woolner to Field
The batsman cleverly rolls his wrists on it and it rolls slowly down to square leg.
And that's his fifty! Well played.
38.3 [B]4 [/B]Mears to Field
Drops to one knee and sweeps over mid wicket.
39.6 [B]4 [/B]Woolner to Field
Dropped a bit shorter than good length and run just fine of third man for four.
41.6 [B]4[/B] Woolner to Field
Nice use of the feet creates a half volley which races away back past Woolner.
52.1 [B]4[/B] Dhillon to Field
Field plays that very fine off his hips, letting the pace of the ball do all the work. Four runs.
54.5 [B]4[/B] Duck to Field
A great front foot pull shot by Field. That'll race away to the boundary for four. Rayno had no chance to stop that.
59.6 [B]4 [/B]Tau to Field
FOUR, cut through point and Rayno has no hope of reaching that.
61.1 2 Blake to Field
An ugly shot there from Field. A cross-batted slog somehow gets the ball out to third man and the batsmen cross for two.
And that's a century for Field! Well played indeed Sir!
70.6 W Duck to Alshaun
Man alive! A firm drive stopped by a firm dive. Superbly caught by Tau.
78.2 W Woolner to Field
Beautiful delivery finds an edge. Padayachie grabs it, the appeals go up. He's out.
95.3 W Tau to Clarke
Short pitched delivery, Clarke attempts to pull, thick top edge sends the ball straight up. Duck stands under it and takes a comfortable catch.
96.1 [B]4[/B] Mears to Wotton
Wide of off, on the back foot, cut into the gap to a vacant backward point boundary.
99.3 [B]4[/B] Tau to Wotton
Whacked straight over Tau's head.
100.1 [B]4 [/B]Mears to Paki
Beautiful cover drive races to the fence. That's four runs for Paki. You won't see a better shot today.
104.1 [B]4 [/B]Mears to Paki
Exquisite cover drive, Paki watched it onto the bat and it bisected the fielders perfectly.
105.3 [B]4[/B] Tau to Wotton
Lovely technique by Wotton. Wonderful straight drive back past Tau. Great timing.
110.5 W Duck to Wotton
Poor delivery, full and slow. Wotton leant back, and got right underneath it, smacking it straight into the air and straight down the throat of Rampaul.
