1.2  Daniel Christian to Marcus Stoinis, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
1.3  Daniel Christian to Marcus Stoinis, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0)

3.2  Daniel Christian to Marcus Stoinis, 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) 
3.3  Daniel Christian to Marcus Stoinis,   (0) Great yorker, he's hit flush on the toe and is dead in front! In one ball he's lost his wicket and his pride, and has a broken toe to boot!

Jason Behrendorff picked 3 wickets but his captain's bid to give him the 19th over in an effort to take the remaining 2 wickets resulted in Fawad Ahmed smashing him for 15 runs and ending the match. This also spoiled his beautiful figures.

Really dissapointing that. We could of done with a couple of other batsman standing up and getting us another 10-15 runs which would've been easily defendable in the end, but I didn't expect Fawad Ahmed to smash Behrendorff around!

Code:
0.1  Ben Cutting to Tim Ludeman, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
0.2  Ben Cutting to Tim Ludeman, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1) 
0.3  Ben Cutting to Travis Head, , Wide, one run  (1) 
0.3  Ben Cutting to Travis Head, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0) 
0.4  Ben Cutting to Travis Head, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
0.5  Ben Cutting to Travis Head, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time.  (6) 
0.6  Ben Cutting to Travis Head, Biffed down to long-off, easy single.  (1)

1.1  James Hopes to Travis Head, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavillion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6) 
1.2  James Hopes to Travis Head, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
1.3  James Hopes to Travis Head, 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) 
1.4  James Hopes to Travis Head, He tried to go over the top but doesn't connect well. However, it's placed in the gap the ball trickles away for four.  (4) 
1.5  James Hopes to Travis Head, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (7) 
1.6  James Hopes to Tim Ludeman, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0)

2.2  Ben Cutting to Tim Ludeman,   (0) Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and the stumps are rattled!

18.1  Kane Richardson to Ben Cutting, Someone should really tell him what that bat is for. Rapped dead in front, the umpire has no hesistation.

18.3  Kane Richardson to James Hopes, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
18.4  Kane Richardson to James Hopes, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0) 
18.5  Kane Richardson to James Hopes, Ah, he's beaten by the movement! It moved in the air, and deviated away off the pitch, taking the offstump with it! No chance for the batsman there, he just walks away bemused.

19.1  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, Good shot, they're running hard, the throw comes in, but they've managed a comfortable two.  (2) 
19.2  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0) 
19.3  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, 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) 
19.4  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky!  (4) 
19.5  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, AND HE'S OU...noooo! Got back home just in time. Two runs.  (2) 
19.6  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, Buffet bowling, the batsman helps himself to four more.  (4)

Great batting by the skipper and the Big Show. Faulkner and Hastings played their part too. Hopefully the net run-rate will award us the first place on the points table.

0.6  James Pattinson to Kevin Pietersen, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1)

1.1  Dwayne Bravo to Kevin Pietersen, No Run, excellent bowling.  (0) 
1.2  Dwayne Bravo to Kevin Pietersen, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
1.3  Dwayne Bravo to Kevin Pietersen, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0) 
1.4  Dwayne Bravo to Kevin Pietersen, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves. No run.  (0) 
1.5  Dwayne Bravo to Kevin Pietersen, That's smashed hard into the crowd, its six!  (6) 
1.6  Dwayne Bravo to Kevin Pietersen, Short ball, cut away for a run.  (1)

2.1  James Pattinson to Kevin Pietersen, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs.  (2) 
2.2  James Pattinson to Kevin Pietersen, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
2.3  James Pattinson to Marcus Stoinis, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
2.4  James Pattinson to Marcus Stoinis, BANG! The batsman absolutely nailed that shot! Luckily for the bowler there is a man in the deep, so only two runs.  (2) 
2.5  James Pattinson to Marcus Stoinis, That was a very good delivery.  (0) 
2.6  James Pattinson to Marcus Stoinis, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.  (1)

James Pattinson    2-0-18-1


3.1  Dwayne Bravo to Marcus Stoinis, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavillion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6) 
3.2  Dwayne Bravo to Marcus Stoinis, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
3.3  Dwayne Bravo to Marcus Stoinis, , Byes, another 1 run(s)  (1) 
3.4  Dwayne Bravo to Marcus Stoinis,   (0) He tries to take a step down the track to turn an attempted yorker into a full-toss, but ends up turning a half-volley into a yorker! Clean bowled. Boy he must be feeling silly!

Marcus Stoinis                      b Dwayne Bravo
Runs : 18       Balls : 10         S/R : 180


3.5  Dwayne Bravo to David Hussey, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2) 
3.6  Dwayne Bravo to David Hussey, I don't think he'll be attempting any more bouncers after that. The batsman has hooked that away magnificently for six!  (6)
