Round 1, Match 2 - Nine Dragons vs Slipperpool

We probably let them get a few too many runs there, and that shocking collapse means that the game is back to even terms again. If the tail can rally and make it to 200 we should be able to defend that sort of a lead. The good news is that the pitch is evidently getting harder to bat on, and bowling last will be an advantage
 
should hopefully turn a little bit which is only going to benefit us and our strong spin attack

...this is when they somehow win by ten wickets, isn't it?
 
That's really terrible! We need real good support from the tail-enders to get a decent total. Giving them around 400 to chase should be enough I guess.[DOUBLEPOST=1439875010][/DOUBLEPOST]
Heading for a draw I reckon. That's some collapse though.

With 2 more days to go, I dont believe it'll up as a draw.
 
Steven Stokes :mad
Sorry pal but as a Zimbabwean it is only mandatory that I get myself in and then get out :p

Well this is a pretty good fight back from us, If we can dismiss the Dragons cheaply then i'd back ourselves to chase down a score of around 300-350. Plenty of time left in this match for a result.
 
Have to admit good batting on my part, sadly we didnt score enough runs and our middle order failed... Hopefully the bowlers can knock off the tail, if we can bowl them out for 150 then i back ourselves to get the win...
 
What a turnaround! Thought the match slipped off our hands but the current situation is certainly not bad.

Steven Stokes looks resigned to some hard work in the morning.

Code:
         END OF DAY 4
         Time: 5:01 PM
         SLIPPERPOOL         195/6 (deficit 163)
         Ern Shylock          11.0-1-43-1
         Steven Stokes        18(39b 4X4)
         Bobby Dillinger      15(17b 3X4)
 
That did not go to plan... Jha probably won the game for them, sadly we took to long to take out the tail while our batsmen once again failed to make a mark. We need Stokes to bat a heck of a lot tomorrow. With Johnston and Dillinger still to come I think we can still win this...
 
Good to see Jha get to his century, disappointed not to have stuck around a little more, every last run matters. Tikolo threatened to take the game away for a bit but a bit of a collapse in that final session ([HASHTAG]#BlameAbhas[/HASHTAG]) sees us with the advantage I'd say. Glad to have picked up a vital wicket, but I just wish I could get a spell of more than one over at a time! A lot resting on the shoulders of Stokes, if we can get him early tomorrow we should be able to wrap it up comfortably, if he sticks around it could become very interesting.
 
The match could still flip both sides. A much needed ton by Aditya really helps. Hopefully the bowlers can bowl them out. Stokes' wicket is crucial.
