No need to panic just yet I remember I got your guys up to over 7 runs an over then one good over pushed that back down.

 

[kuttakumar]

A good over for us....

34.6 4 Malik to Rampaul 
    Rampaul gives that ball what it deserves... that's four runs all the way. Malik should consider adjusting his run up.  
34.5 . Malik to Rampaul 
    Sound defensive technique from Rampaul there, getting well forward and deflecting the ball to the on side. 
34.4 . Malik to Rampaul 
    Point running in to field. 
34.3 2 Malik to Rampaul 
    Slower delivery down the leg side and Rampaul glances it away fine for a couple of runs. 
34.2 . Malik to Rampaul 
    Just managed to get his bat on that one. It almost squeezed through the gate. 
34.1 4 Malik to Rampaul 
    Four, good ball on the off stump, Rampaul moves back to defend, gets an outside edge between gully and the slip cordon, ball runs away to the fence

Poor bowling...

28.1 4 Cash to Bandara
Plays with the spin and lobs it over the infield for four runs.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Congrats...

 

[kuttakumar]

4th wicket falls for the Unicorns....

44.6 W Dolezar to Abdul kadir 
    What a catch, what a marvellous catch by Chanderpaul.

45.1 1 Singh to Rampaul 
    Guided it away past point for a quick single.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

 

[voldemort]

28.5 W Cash to Bandara
Can you believe that throw in from Ilanganage at short square leg? Neither can Bandara. Right in, flat and hard, to the top of the stumps and Cash takes off the bails at the bowler's end. They won't be taking on Ilanganage's arm again in a hurry.

HAH... I recognized Illanganges fieldign abilities even when i got my team...

29.2 W Polonowita to Samarawickreme
Oh dear! That?s a schoolboy error by Samarawickreme, playing away from his body at a wide one.

A collapse in sight...

End of Over 30: 128-5, runrate=4.27, reqrunrate=12.85 (384-2)

Very good...

 

[kuttakumar]

Last Wicket: Abdul kadir c. Chanderpaul b. Dolezar 35 (FOW: 222/4)

 

[voldemort]

30.2 W Cash to Kandage
Kandage has gone down the wicket to Cash's delivery and hit that straight up in the air. Duminda is chasing it, he's right underneath it and safely held. OUT!!!!!!

That is it... Superb performance from my team after Hilton left us...

This match is a good indication of the good times to come...

End of Over 31: 130-6, runrate=4.19, reqrunrate=13.42 (384-2)

[voldemort]

31.1 W Whittingham to Cramar
Cramar pushes at the ball on off stump, and the away swing has just clipped the edge! Duminda took it safely, and that's out!

That is his third catch today...

7 down...

End of Over 32: 134-7, runrate=4.19, reqrunrate=13.94 (384-2)

 

[kuttakumar]

3 more runs needed......

48.1 2 Dolezar to Darby 
    Short of a length on the stumps, Darby plays to the vacant mid wicket region, two runs taken.

Scores are now level.....

48.3 1 Dolezar to Rampaul 
    Rampaul's worked that nicely between the fielders for a single 
48.2 1 Dolezar to Darby 
    Pushed into the vacant gully area.

And Darby gets the winning run...

48.4 1 Dolezar to Darby 
    Wide of off, cut to deep point for the single.

So at the end of the day....

And that's the end of the match. Kutta's Unicorns won by 6 wickets. 
krazy kids 254-7 
Kutta's Unicorns 255-4

 

[voldemort]

Thats amazing Kutta...

33.2 W Whittingham to Ramanayake
That's missing off and missing leg and hitting middle half way up!

8th down... now off to 9 and 10...

34.4 4 Polonowita to Kalasooriya
Beautiful, simply beautiful. Four runs.
36.4 6 Polonowita to Dharmapala
What a stunner! That one went all the way!

Not good...

36.6 W Polonowita to Kalasooriya
Kalasooriya shuffles across his stumps to a ball of fullish length from Polonowita. Trapped plumb in front.

Another... one more left...

End of Over 37: 167-9, runrate=4.51, reqrunrate=16.77 (384-2)

 

[aussie1st]

No surprise there, would need at least 300 to push Kutta chasing.

 

[kuttakumar]

Amazing performance by your team as well voldy
