A HUGE wicket! What better way for Neil Carter to finish off yet another brilliant spell than to take out Clontarf's most dangerous batsman cheaply?

David Hussey reminded Stormont's bowlers that he was still out there by smashing Murtagh for two sixes in his final over. Oh, and the deficit fell well below 50 too with Clontarf still having 5 wickets in hand. What a turnaround.

John Mooney got a faint tickle through to Gary Wilson which the keeper took quite comfortably. Vernon Philander in next. All Stormont need is for him to keep stonewalling at a strike rate of 50 as he has been doing throughout this season, and they'll easily win this match.


Now I'm feeling too lazy to post the remaining bit of Clontarf's innings, so I'll take a break. 31 to get for Clontarf from 4.5 overs while Stormont need to either take 4 wickets, or keep Philander on strike till the end.

You always manage to get these down to the wire! I'm sticking with my prediction of a 14-run win!

Philander's ready to face his first ball from part-timer Ervine. Will he end with a wicket-maiden?

Code:
45.2  Ervine to Philander, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!

No, he won't 'cause Vernon's come out and smashed his first delivery for six! Yeah, this is the same fella who failed to middle a single ball in the past eight games.

Code:
45.3  Ervine to Philander, FOUR, Who needs Bradman when weve got Vernon Philander
45.4  Ervine to Philander, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though
45.5  Ervine to Philander, no run, Vernon Philander missed that one by a mile

That over's certainly changed things dramatically

46.1  Gabriel to Hussey, no run, Left alone by David Hussey
46.2  Gabriel to Hussey, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!

         David Hussey        115(95b 8X4 7X6)

47.6  Ervine to Hussey, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though

         End of over 48  (0 runs)
         CLONTARF FIREBIRDS  266/6

         David Hussey        115(101b 8X4 7X6)
         Vernon Philander     10(6b 1X4 1X6)

A part-time spin bowler bowling a maiden in a pressure situation to a well established batsman on 115, what were the odds of that? Could there be a twist in the tale?

The surprisingly expensive Shannon Gabriel will bowl the penultimate over.

48.1  Gabriel to Philander, no run, Vernon Philander missed that one by a mile
48.2  Gabriel to Philander, no run, Vernon Philander missed that one by a mile
48.3  Gabriel to Philander, one run, That was a very risky single.
48.4  Gabriel to Hussey, no ball,  no run, David Hussey missed that one by a mile
48.4  Gabriel to Hussey, FOUR, David Hussey is one of the best batsmen in the world
48.5  Gabriel to Hussey, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Gary Wilson         
48.6  Gabriel to Hussey, no run, David Hussey missed that one by a mile
      Shannon Gabriel finishes off an extremely expensive spell


         End of over 49  (6 runs)
         CLONTARF FIREBIRDS  272/6
         (R/R:  5.55   R/R Req:  8.00)
         Shannon Gabriel      10.0-0-69-0
         David Hussey        119(104b 9X4 7X6)
         Vernon Philander     11(9b 1X4 1X6)

Gabriel's first really toothless spell of the tournament comes to a close. Clontarf need 8 off 6 now with Philander on strike. He may have smashed 10 off his first 2 balls but has scored only 1 off the last 7. Huge pressure on him now..

Wait, what's this? Andrew White is coming on to bowl instead of Ervine who's been so surprisingly consistent in this match. Lets not forget that White's picked up 12 wickets in the tournament so far, but in this match his figures read 3-0-26-0. Will this gamble by Stormont's skipper pay off?
