A few too many runs leaked there from Pollard. Hope my opening bowlers don't let this game slip.

30.6 W Shorey to Karthikeyan 
    Oh dear! That?s a schoolboy error by Karthikeyan, playing away from his body at a wide one.

Karthikeyan departs.But it was a well played innings.And Rampaul is the next man in....

 

[aussie1st]

Good thing Rampaul has come in early, might be able to wear away his stamina or concentration

 

[viral1991]

Well, BornCricketer is playing extremely well! Hopefully, they will finish below 300!

All depends on how your opening bowlers go. Get these two, who knows what might happen.

Really building up the pressure now, hopefully I can get that RRR over 15 just to make sure I'm safe.

Two quick wickets have struck Borncricketer's team! Hopefully, there is a late collapse!

@aussie-kutta : It seems that aussie1st is winning this one now! Thats really a bit of surprise!

 

[borncricketer]

Thats his 100

36.3 1 Abdul kadir to Mckenzie
Flicked around towards mid wicket and the fielder runs in from the boundary.
And that's a century for Mckenzie! Well played indeed Sir!

38.5 4 Abdul kadir to Mckenzie
Mckenzie drives it down the ground through mid off for four.

keep it up!

39.4 W Al ameen to Mckenzie
Great reaction catch by Harley, taking a ball flicked down leg side at full stretch.

goes for 110
And Kathikeyan follows soon after for 73

40.6 W Searle to Karthikeyan
Karthikeyan has gone fishing for that ball and it hasn't paid off. Back to the pavillion he goes.

Rampauls here guys

41.3 4 Abdul kadir to Rampaul
The purists may not like it, but the reverse sweep certainly is an effective shot to play. Rampaul played that one to perfection.

42.2 4 Searle to Rampaul
Beautiful, simply beautiful. Four runs.

End of Over 43: 243-3, runrate=5.65
Searle 7-0-40-1
Hocking* 7 (6 balls)
Rampaul 15 (9 balls)

Last Wicket: Karthikeyan c. Harley b. Searle 73 (FOW: 224/3)

I hope rampaul can get a quick fire 50

 

[aussie1st]

That should at least keep them down below 300.

End of Over 38: 174-3, runrate=4.58, reqrunrate=10.92 (304-4)
Ryan 9-0-36-0

[borncricketer]

43.2 4 Abdul kadir to Rampaul
That one's disturbed the pigeons in the outfield. Four runs.

43.4 4 Abdul kadir to Hocking
He's miss-hit that one and still gets four! What a shot!

End of Over 44: 255-3, runrate=5.80
Abdul kadir 10-0-74-0
Rampaul* 21 (12 balls)

This looks like a huge victory for Syl.

 

[borncricketer]

Syl you are winning this, believe me

not what i need rite now..

44.3 W Searle to Hocking
I don't think that hook shot went as planned because somehow it has ended up in the gloves of Harley.

Searle bowling well in the death overs

Bowler comes in, gives the strike to Rampaul and here we go

44.5 4 Searle to Rampaul
Fantastic shot! Far too short from Searle, and Rampaul stands tall, pulling it powerfully in front of square. Commanding shot, resoundingly struck.

Single from the last ball, Rampaul will keep strike

End of Over 45: 262-4, runrate=5.82
Searle 8-0-47-2
Rampaul* 27 (15 balls)
Bowler 1 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Hocking c. Harley b. Searle 13 (FOW: 256/4

40 more for 300

 

[aussie1st]

Thank God Ryan is finished looked like he was starting to bowl loose balls. Sam is known to concede a few as is Sam so still hope for you Kutta.

 

[kuttakumar]

9 overs to go....

End of Over 41: 194-3, runrate=4.73, reqrunrate=12.33 (304-4)

Rampaul* 23 (26 balls) 
Bakmeewewa 50 (57 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Karthikeyan c. Masibulele b. Shorey 53 (FOW: 139/3)

Bakmeewewa got a 50 as well.

 

[viral1991]

26 needed off 4 overs for BC! Searle should continue his great death bowling!
