Match venue

Monkey Park, Geelong.

Pitch

Plenty of bounce on offer. The ball should carry through quite nicely to the wicket-keeper. Fast bowlers and gutsy batsmen are expected to thrive.

Lineup rules & guidelines

- No more than two star players per XI.
- A capable wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:) must feature in the XI.
- Try marking 6 bowlers in your XI, so a non-bowler doesn't come on and potentially cost you the match.
- The country flags on this forum look pretty. Try using them while posting your lineups if possible.

Home Game!!! I sincerely hope Dragons have a deep squad. Quite a few dragons will be going back on a stretcher after the game.
 
Hey coach! How would you like your monkeys? Smoked or roasted?

Aditya Jha calmed the nerves with three quick boundaries. Khurram at the other end was nearing his century.

Lameck Onyango got his team the wicket they needed by dismissing Khurram just seven short of a century. 33 needed off 30..

The required rate went over 7 per over as a result of a tight over bowled by Matt Whitehorn in the 46th.

New+Zealand+v+West+Indies+Day+1+Is5ZoAC9kRKl.jpg


The lack of a proper 6th bowler in the Monkeys' lineup saw Shivnarine Chanderpaul tasked with bowling the 47th. As expected, he leaked 9 runs to ease the pressure on the Dragons.

20 needed off 18 balls..

47.1  Whitehorn to Jha, two runs, Took the first one quickly the second was no problem

Clint+McKay+Australia+v+England+Game+5+NOOGTU9-oGTl.jpg


And it was right up again with Whitehorn bowling another superbly tight over. 16 needed off 12..


Shivnarine+Chanderpaul+New+Zealand+v+West+9AXzf3mT-Fgl.jpg


With all their bowlers save Whitehorn having completed their quotas, the Monkeys had no choice but to persist with Chanderpaul. This could be it..



HTML:
48.1  Chand'paul to Ulberg, one run, That is very well run by Aditya Jha


Shivnarine+Chanderpaul+Derbyshire+v+Durham+VJHHP2tBnPJl.jpg


So Chanderpaul reluctantly began his second over. He didn't start off too badly, conceding a single off the first ball.
HTML:
48.2  Chand'paul to Jha, one run, The misfield by SKR allows yet another run


Ajinkya+Rahane+India+v+Ireland+ZIdCiWQA2OVl.jpg


If not for a misfield by Santhosh SKR, this might have been a dot.
HTML:
48.3  Chand'paul to Ulberg, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down


Nathan+Rimmington+Scorchers+v+Renegades+FSQ_9C4gQ7bl.jpg


He nearly had Ulberg trapped with a pretty good legbreak for a part-timer!
HTML:
48.4  Chand'paul to Ulberg, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman


Shivnarine+Chanderpaul+Derbyshire+v+Durham+HWR2ZLSJwnzl.jpg


Another gem from the part-timer. There is more to this leggie than meets the eye.
HTML:
48.5  Chand'paul to Ulberg, FOUR, Who needs Bradman when weve got Svenke Ulberg


Nathan+Rimmington+Stars+v+Renegades+iJ0EBEJFOKYl.jpg


Inevitably, he had to give away a pie at some point and Svenke Ulberg managed to cash in. That takes it to 10 off 7..
HTML:
48.6  Chand'paul to Ulberg, no run, Svenke Ulberg missed that one by a mile


Shivnarine+Chanderpaul+Derbyshire+v+Durham+4EuZG-YoEmMl.jpg


Chanderpaul had one last trick up his sleeve as his last delivery completely outfoxed the Norwegian biffer. He was rightly given a pat on his back for a spectacular bowling effort, conceding just 6 runs off the 49th over to bring it down to 10 off the last.


Clint+McKay+Australia+v+England+Game+1+yTHuXsW5kebl.jpg


Much to the relief of the home crowd, the specialist bowler Whitehorn was brought back for the final over instead of a non-bowler.

HTML:
49.1  Whitehorn to Jha, no run, Aditya Jha missed that one by a mile


Irfan+Pathan+Australia+v+India+ICC+World+Twenty20+WaN6dxsZdonl.jpg


Aditya Jha swung wildly at the first one and missed it completely. 10 off 5..
HTML:
49.2  Whitehorn to Jha, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down


Clint+McKay+TAS+v+VIC+1-sMqh_CT4Gl.jpg


Whitehorn struck him on the pads, but failed to convince the umpire despite a very loud appeal. 10 off 4..
HTML:
49.3  Whitehorn to Jha, no run, Aditya Jha missed that one by a mile


Clint+McKay+Australia+v+England+Game+5+NOOGTU9-oGTl.jpg


This one nearly clipped the top of off. It's an even more improbable 10 off 3 now..
HTML:
49.4  Whitehorn to Jha, one run, That is very well run by Svenke Ulberg


Clint+McKay+Melbourne+v+Perth+ZojSquGiHYjl.jpg


Jha finally managed a single to get Ulberg on strike. With 9 off 2 needed, every ball from here on must go to or over the fence in order for the Dragons to win.
HTML:
49.5  Whitehorn to Ulberg, OUT, Santhosh SKR takes an easy catch to dismiss Svenke Ulberg

         Svenke Ulberg          13 (17b 2X4)
         c. SKR         b. Whitehorn


Clint+McKay+Bash+League+Sydney+v+Melbourne+XmL_JXriP8ul.jpg


Ulberg was out! That is undoubtedly the last nail in the coffin for the Nine Dragons. Even a last ball six won't save them from here.
HTML:
49.6  Whitehorn to Adams, no run, Rick Adams missed that one by a mile


Clint+McKay+England+v+Australia+4th+NatWest+H_9oOrszv_jl.jpg


Another swing, another miss, and it's over! The Hugging Muffins have won their second match on the trot bowling second.
