SIALKOT STALLIONS' INNINGS

Code:

0.1  Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, Full, almost yorker-length delivery outside offstump. Th batsman drives it hard and square of the wicket. Two more.  (2) 
0.2  Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot.  (2) 
0.3  Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective.  (4) 
0.4  Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two.  (2) 
0.5  Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, Someone should really tell him what that bat is for. Rapped dead in front, the umpire has no hesitation.

6.1  Chris Martin to Shoaib Malik, 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)

6.3  Chris Martin to Shehzad Malik, 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)

They scored 46 and 67*, respectively. Chris Cairns of the Canterbury Wizards picked just 2 wickets, but he was the most economical out of the lot.

Sinhalese Sports Club only had three players going into double figures in this innings, but those three players' contributions were enough to drag their team total to 175/9 at the end of the 20.0 overs. Tharanga Pranavitana top-scored with a 46-ball 70. Keith Parsons picked 4 wickets for just 26 runs in his full quota, but Somerset Sabres still let the Sinhalese Sports Club slip away to a imposing total.

Just 2 runs shy, yet again! This is the second consecutive time this has happened to Somerset, they fall just 2 runs shy of the win. And they have no one to blame but their luck, I suppose. They fall short despite Wes Durston's beastly 12-ball 30 at the end of the innings.
