[Shield Final] Nine Dragons v Demons - Day Five

Terrible batting from our lower order.. should get Michael Ng out in the morning session and see a collapse in their batting lineup..
 
Good partnership with the man himself, we need to continue to back ourselves up.
 
That's even better than I'd hoped - an excellent bowling effort, and we still have a whole bunch of specialist batsmen left. All is going well at the moment.
 
Yes! ARK Rafay picked 3 wickets and bowled Misbah-ul-Haq on 99! :D But bad day for our batting side.
Don't worry The Demons! as long as I don't get a cramp, I will crush the Dragons!
 
Poor day for the demons, looks like if you can get in on this pitch then you can score runs.
 
Misbah :(

We're in a really good place to get the First Innings lead if that matters, and we still have three good batsmen to come, plus Hogg who's been good with the bat all year. I think that we're in the lead at this point, provided that we bat well. I'm a little concerned that Hogg and myself didn't get that many wickets because that was a key part of our performance at the beginning of the year (I had a bowling average below 20 for most of the year!) but luckily @The Author was around to take all the wickets.
 
don't worry, swirler, we're more than happy to wait another day for our glorious triumph
 
I must say, whenever I look at the dragons, I experience cute aggression. :p
