Pitch acting like a green one.

Very proud of the bowlers, excellent work every single one of our bowlers. Again disappointed with the batsmen including myself, but tomorrow is a new day and with the way our bikes l bowlers have performed, I have full faith in our team

That is the sort of bowling performance we were looking for to fold out the Rebelz. Was good to see Jethalal (@Akshay.) to get those wickets at a very crucial time in the match. @MattW bowled an equally impressive spell. And it was so good to see @Manish. being constantly applying pressure and keeping the runs down. I think the match is fairly balanced and there is no chance for this to end in a draw. The lead that we got in the first innings was an absolute bonus. I think we need about 100 more runs from here on in to really test the Rebelz batting line-up. 250 would be a mammoth target to have to chase on the sort of pitch we are having. Let's do it guys!!!

Spoiler: Power Booster

The power booster worked, 4 wickets in the innings
If we can cross 200 lead, we can defend the total

I think there is some turn as well.

 

[Manish.]

Need around 70+ runs to get game into our control. Not sure what my player was doing there. While everyone having wickets to their names I was keep on bowling dot balls. Well done on the day 2. Hopefully match finishes by day 3.

 

[Akshay.]

Not sure what my player was doing there

Your player bowled a tight spell with accurate stuff, which helped the others to pick up wickets

 

[Manish.]

@Yash. Sure it's even pitch right .?

 

[Till Valhalla]

Wildcats need 70 more but can they get it.

 

[NaviN GandhI]

Well, I think I was wrong with the pitch, it's getting worst for the batsman as the Match progress. We (Wildcats) are strong in the bowling department and they have proved that here once again, Reducing a Good batting line up to less than 190 is extremely good. But the question is can we do it again? looking at the way pitch is acting, I think it is possible.

Still, our Lower order needs to increase the lead by at least another 100+ runs to give themself a fighting chance with the ball. Both the teams are struggling to maintain a decent partnership, A 50+ partnership between the standing batman's Cho-Cho and Mattw should do the trick for us.

At this point, both the teams have a good chance, to be honest, and we might get a result on Day 3 itself.

 

[Yash.]

@Yash. Sure it's even pitch right .?

Yes it is. Even pitch can bend to any side anytime.
This time it bent towards the bowlers.

This is how you set a batsman up, he wasn't able to get set. Just 3 fours, two of which were edge or misfield and nothing else.

Lovely stuff from our bowlers.

Just need a few more runs on board with the Loco chugging along. I'm confident that we can defend even a total of 160-180 if our bowlers pick up from where they left off!

Just for the purpose of contingency let us have some 25-30 extra runs. I think we must have a minimum of 200-225 run lead.

Wow. What a match we are having. They are already ahead by 150 runs, we need to restrict them for max 200. Anything else will be really difficult to chase. Locomotive seems to be in continuing where he left in 1st innings, need to pick his wicket as soon as possible and the rest will crumble.
