18.1 Boyd Rankin to Tim Southee, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion... (4)
18.2 Boyd Rankin to Tim Southee, (0) Slog-sweep time! He hasn't executed that quite well, and....yup, he's out caught! Tough luck kid, maybe you'll do better next time.
