Another wicket and Wotton strikes this time,

16.3 W Wotton to Karthikeyan
Wotton makes the breakthrough! Good length ball just sliding through on off stump, nips back a fair way off the seam, flicks through to Folds, big appeal and the umpire raises the finger.

They are batting with steady pace... Need more wickets though...And score card after 20 Overs,

End of Over 20: 64-2, runrate=3.20
Clarke 5-0-24-0
Ghandi* 6 (8 balls)
Mohammed 27 (54 balls)

Tough luck Syl...

And so many changes occured in my match while i was having breakfast.. Bolland got 5 wickets hold which includes 3 wickets in a same over.

29.2 	W	Bolland to Singh
 	 	[B][COLOR=Red]Tries to loft him against the spin and only succeeds in chipping it to Alshaun at long off. Good piece of bowling from Bolland.[/COLOR][/B]

29.3 	W	Bolland to Rampaul
 	 	[B][COLOR=Red]Bolland found the edge there and, unbelievably, it hit the slip on the head and looped up for a simple catch to Folds![/COLOR][/B]

On a hattrick.. but missed it.. nevermind, he got a wicket in 6th delivery of the same over,

29.6 	W	Bolland to Tau
 	 	[B][COLOR=Red]That's clipped Tau's pad as it goes down the leg side. Tau can't believe it. He's been given out, caught behind by Folds. What a poor decision.[/COLOR]
[/B]

And 5th wicket for Bolland,

36.3 	W	Bolland to Ahmed
 	 	[B][COLOR=Red]A stinker! Looks like it pitched outside leg to me. Bolland looks a little surprised by the decision. Next man in please.[/COLOR][/B]

And the scorecard is,

End of Over 38: 115-7, runrate=3.03
Clarke 9-0-32-0
Ghandi* 30 (56 balls)
Abdul kadir 1 (6 balls)
Last Wicket: Ahmed lbw b. Bolland 4 (FOW: 111/7)

[B][COLOR=DarkGreen]Bolland :  7-1-16-5[/COLOR][/B]

Looking good for you Suren......

And I got a couple of wickets while I went to the saloon for a hair cut.

End of Over 39: 173-5, runrate=4.44 
Haishen 8-0-41-1 
Dures* 18 (28 balls) 
Ahmed 15 (22 balls)

Ahmed* 16 (25 balls)

Last Wicket: Dolezar c. Abdul kadir b. Cooksey 44 (FOW: 144/5)

Cooksey finished with figures of....

Cooksey 10-0-58-1

I think he looked much better today than last time.I think he is not performing well because he is not getting the new ball.

 

[surendar]

I think u might chase around 200-220 Kutta

And in my match,

End of Over 41: 134-7, runrate=3.27
Baloch 6-1-13-0

Abdul kadir* 3 (15 balls)
Ghandi 41 (66 balls)
Last Wicket: Ahmed lbw b. Bolland 4 (FOW: 111/7)

 

[aussie1st]

Kutta will chase down 270 the way he goes

Another win coming up for you Suren.

 

[surendar]

And Bolland picking his Sixth wicket but he was expensive in his last overs,

41.5 W Bolland to Abdul kadir
Unbelievable! The ball went straight to Folds and Abdul kadir was off down the pitch looking to nick a single.

hmmm..keeper has taken around 4 catches i guess

End of Over 42: 142-8, runrate=3.38
Bolland 9-1-32-6

Ghandi* 48 (69 balls)
Sagren 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Abdul kadir st. Folds b. Bolland 4 (FOW: 142/8)

 

[kuttakumar]

Haishen bowled an expensive over.

End of Over 42: 194-5, runrate=4.62 
Haishen 9-0-50-1 
Dures* 30 (37 balls) 
Ahmed 24 (31 balls)

41.6 1 Haishen to Dures 
    On the toes, played around to deep square leg, Dures quick to move between the wickets. 
41.5 1 Haishen to Ahmed 
    Slogged down the ground but straight to long on. Only the single. 
41.4 1 Haishen to Dures 
    Dures plays the ball softly into the on side and sets off for a sneaky single. 
41.3 1 Haishen to Ahmed 
    On the front foot, past Haishen, long off running in to field. 
41.2 4 Haishen to Ahmed 
    Sneaky. He found the gap between Darby and slip and the ball goes over the rope. 
41.1 1 Haishen to Dures 
    Dures advances, drives the ball firmly to long on and just jogs through for an easy single.

And Dangasela with another expensive over.....

42.6 1 Dangasela to Dures 
    Edged, but it goes through the slip cordon and he survives with a single added to his tally.  
42.5 2 Dangasela to Dures 
    Pushed down to long leg. Slow fielding means they steal a second. 
42.4 1 Dangasela to Ahmed 
    Clipped off his legs for one run. 
42.3 . Dangasela to Ahmed 
    Mistimed and the ball ends up back at the bowler's feet. 
42.2 4 Dangasela to Ahmed 
    That was a bad ball by Dangasela and Ahmed puts it away for four runs. 
42.1 1 Dangasela to Dures 
    Cuts backward of gully, but good fielding keeps it down to one

End of Over 43: 203-5, runrate=4.72 
Dangasela 7-0-36-2 
Dures* 34 (40 balls) 
Ahmed 29 (34 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Dolezar c. Abdul kadir b. Cooksey 44 (FOW: 144/5)

 

[surendar]

Thats not looking gud Kutta for you! Hope u get a hattrick

And in my match, Baloch strikes & its wicket no 9!

42.4 W Baloch to Sagren
Short ball and it's been pulled straight up in the air! Long leg is running around to take the catch and does so. Super effort by Govender, he had to cover a lot of ground.

The scorecard atm,

End of Over 43: 146-9, runrate=3.40
Baloch 7-1-17-1
Ghandi* 50 (72 balls)
Bhutia 1 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Sagren c. Govender b. Baloch 0 (FOW: 143/9)

 

[kuttakumar]

Another expensive over.This is rubbish bowling by our bowlers at the death overs.

43.6 1 Haishen to Ahmed 
    Well forward, played out to the deep mid wicket region. 
43.5 1 Haishen to Dures 
    Wide delivery, late cut, deep backward point runs in to field. 
43.4 1 Haishen to Ahmed 
    Gently worked around to the on side, mid wicket runs to field. 
43.3 4 Haishen to Ahmed 
    Worked to fine leg and a misfield brings four. 
43.2 2 Haishen to Ahmed 
    Ahmed neatly turns it around the corner. Haishen straying onto leg that time. 
43.1 1 Haishen to Dures 
    Turned to leg with a flick of the wrists.

End of Over 44: 213-5, runrate=4.84 
Haishen 10-0-60-1 
Ahmed* 37 (38 balls) 
Dures 36 (42 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Dolezar c. Abdul kadir b. Cooksey 44 (FOW: 144/5)

And Dangasela strikes for us.

44.5 W Dangasela to Dures 
    Great delivery! Outside off stump, swinging away and the batsman helps it into the hands of Abdul kadir at first slip!

I can't believe that skipper Abdul kadir was going with a slip at the death overs.

5 overs to go....

End of Over 45: 220-6, runrate=4.89 
Dangasela 8-0-43-3 
Malik* 1 (1 balls) 
Ahmed 40 (41 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Dures c. Abdul kadir b. Dangasela 38 (FOW: 219/6)

[surendar]

And all out.. Baloch finishes it off.. and the target is 152 now

44.4 	W	Baloch to Bhutia
 	 	[B][COLOR=Red]Good watching and catching by Folds, it was coming with speed![/COLOR][/B]

End of Over 45: 151-10, runrate=3.36
Baloch 7-1-20-2
Ghandi* 54 (77 balls)
