Organ has surely given the Stallions something to bowl at. But it's not all done as the Eagles have a strong batting lineup, however who knows if Stallions manage to peg up two/three wickets early, they even might succumb to pressure

:lol:lol

Who is Organ? ANyways brilliant presentation as always its great to see Eion perform well here too
 
Morgan-Organ whatever. All I can say is that he was awesome! That final over might prove costly to the opposition! Once again, good writing and amazing presentation. KUTGW! Looking forward towards the chase!
 
Southern Stallions have reached to a really good score there, keeping in mind that this is a final and it's always hard to chase in a final. It will be a close match I guess, Northern Eagles have got a solid batting line up and they will not easily give away the title to Southern Stallions.

Excellent stuff JC, great presentation and writing. :)

Below are selected visual indicators of various elements of the recently concluded innings of the Southern Stallions in their Grand Final match against the Northern Eagles at AMI Stadium:

Jayawardene was the main aggressor in the first 10 overs, hitting a fluent 40 from just 26 balls faced. The above beehive shows where each ball was as it arrived to him - note his ruthlessness on short deliveries, and also his slight weakness to balls well wide of off stump, and tendency to play across his pad slightly to balls on leg stump.

Then Tim Southee changed the game somewhat with two very economical overs to ebb the flow of runs. His flurry of un-hittable yorkers is plainly illustrated, as well as his more stock-delivery style outswinger which also caused occassional problems. Batsmen could only take runs when he strayed slightly too straight, but certainly overall Southee had the better of the 4 right handers he bowled to.

Contrast that with the above pitchmap, showing his deliveries to Eoin Morgan. Because the left hander had a reply to Southee's full wide balls, with delicate late cuts and reverse laps, Southee took just a little while to find something else, which in the shorter version of the game meant that Morgan definitely won the battle.

The wagon wheel of Morgan's innings highlights his strongest areas - he was particularly quick on anything with a hint of width, as his barrage of runs square of the wicket on the onside show. However he was more confident hitting through the line and harder over the leg side, as illustrated by the string of runs around mid wicket and mid on.

Partnerships.png


And finally, the partnerships graph. While it is pretty much self explanatory, one of the key features is that there were no 50 run partnerships - even for a T20 innings, it was an innings very much made up of bits and pieces, which led to a slightly above par score, but not a dominant one like the Stallions had been putting up or chasing in previous games.

Tune into OPL Television for the resumption of the match, with the Northern Eagles chasing the 167 run target set by the Southern Stallions
