42.5 W Ilanganage to Basson
Basson has failed to pick the slower ball, as it loops mockingly and traps him plumb in front.

Stiles still in

End of Over 44: 281-4, runrate=6.39
Reade 7-0-51-0
Stiles* 120 (101 balls)
Heath 4 (4 balls)

44.1 4 Ilanganage to Stiles
Wide and smeared to the cover boundary.
44.2 4 Ilanganage to Stiles
Short ball wide of the off stump. Stiles just leaned back onto the back foot and cut the ball past the fielder at point for a four.
44.4 4 Ilanganage to Heath
They don't have to run for that one. Heath just stands there and admires his shot as the ball races to the boundary.

In my opinion, Reade is better...

14 off the over...

End of Over 45: 295-4, runrate=6.56
Ilanganage 8-0-60-1
Heath* 9 (6 balls)
Stiles 129 (105 balls)

Last 5 overs...

45.1 4 Reade to Heath
Well worked off the legs into the gap between mid wicket and square leg for the boundary.
45.4 4 Reade to Heath
It's a nick that has dropped in front of the slip cordon and squirmed through Poke's legs - and off to the boundary for four!

Disaster...

12 off the over...

End of Over 46: 307-4, runrate=6.67
Reade 8-0-63-0
Stiles* 131 (107 balls)
Heath 19 (10 balls)

Geez Voldy you are going to be chasing 350+

 

[voldemort]

got a good news, I might not be chasing 350
got a bad news too, I might have to chase 400... :crying

6 off 6...

End of Over 47: 313-4, runrate=6.66
Ilanganage 9-0-66-1
Heath* 22 (13 balls)
Stiles 134 (110 balls)

3 overs left

9 off the next over...

End of Over 48: 322-4, runrate=6.71
Reade 9-0-72-0
Heath* 25 (16 balls)
Stiles 140 (113 balls)

2 overs left...

too many fours to quote any few...

Ilanganage 10-0-78-1
Stiles* 142 (115 balls)
Heath 35 (20 balls)

49.2 4 Reade to Stiles
Forward, found the gap through covers, played out to a vacant deep extra cover region.
Thats his 150. A fine knock.

First Gilroy, now Stiles...

End of Over 50: 346-4, runrate=6.92
Reade 10-0-84-0
Heath* 37 (22 balls)
Stiles 152 (119 balls)

:upray :help

 

[aussie1st]

Reade really was exposed, he just not the all rounder you need with his consistency.

 

[surendar]

Well managed to get three wickets,

Wkt no : 1,

4.3 W Macdonald to Basson
That was a ball waiting to be cut, but instead Basson pulled it straight into the hands of Mulligan. Basson should learn to choose his strokes more wisely.

Wkt no : 2,

9.6 W Love to Lampard
Got him! Easy decision for the umpire. Lampard wasn't sure but the big screen says it all.

Lampard's wicket is huge for me.. he has BT rating > 10000.

Wkt no : 3,

10.2 W Macdonald to Dodds
That's what bowlers love to see! The bails flying, stumps everywhere and the batsmen's face when he looks down at his stumps, priceless!

At the end of 18 Overs,

End of Over 18: 90-3, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=6.59 (300-3)
Wotton 4-0-11-0
Bradshaw* 20 (23 balls)
Stoltz 47 (60 balls)
Last Wicket: Dodds b. Macdonald 0 (FOW: 55/3)

 

[aussie1st]

Looking good for the win there Suren. Just need Stoltz and you should have it.

Another great win for me in the PC BT league continuing my undefeated run.

The opening partnership has done it twice in a row

 

[aussie1st]

Your team is looking really good so far Brett.

After 32 overs.....

End of Over 32: 137-2, runrate=4.28, reqrunrate=4.44 (216-10) 
Vernon 6-0-30-0 
Bakmeewewa* 42 (76 balls) 
Karthikeyan 79 (96 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Talamini c. Crookes b. Mensing 0 (FOW: 33/2)

Once again Karthikeyan had done a good job for us.His second 50 in PC league.

Bakmeewewa missed his 50 by 8 runs.....

32.1 W Crookes to Bakmeewewa 
    Fooled by the quick ball there, Bakmeewewa was too late onto the shot, much to the delight of Crookes

Rampaul is the next man in....

 

[surendar]

It was just when the partnership was developing for leftie, Mulligan striked for me,

21.4 W Mulligan to Stoltz
An inside edge to a straight delivery helps the ball find leg stump; such a disappointing way to get out!

And Wicket no 5,

23.6 W Mulligan to Bradshaw
A short ball and he pulls it to Alshaun at deep square leg.

At the end of 32 Overs,

End of Over 32: 138-5, runrate=4.31, reqrunrate=9.06 (300-3)
Wotton 6-0-21-0

Fenoughty* 22 (26 balls)
Dunn 7 (27 balls)

Last Wicket: Bradshaw c. Alshaun b. Mulligan 33 (FOW: 109/5)

So far, my team is on right track. Lets see how it goes in the remaining overs!

 

[aussie1st]

You've got it Suren, 5 wickets down and already 9 an over required is too much of an ask.

 

[surendar]

Ya hopefully Syl

Also, Hamed finishing his 10th over with a maiden wicket, i.e. Wicket no : 6 now

32.3 W Hamed to Fenoughty
Misjudged the line to a straight delivery and loses the off stump which nearly takes out Folds behind the wicket!

At the end of 35 Overs,

End of Over 35: 146-6, runrate=4.17, reqrunrate=10.33 (300-3)
Mulligan 6-1-17-2

Dunn* 14 (35 balls)
Dixon 1 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Fenoughty b. Hamed 22 (FOW: 138/6)

 

[kuttakumar]

This looks like another victory for Suren....

Update from my game....

End of Over 36: 160-3, runrate=4.44, reqrunrate=4.07 (216-10) 
Vernon 8-0-40-0 
Karthikeyan* 86 (104 balls) 
Rampaul 16 (15 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Bakmeewewa b. Crookes 42 (FOW: 137/3)

Karthikeyan looking good....

Karthikeyan takes his score into the 90s....

End of Over 37: 165-3, runrate=4.46, reqrunrate=4.00 (216-10) 
Roper 7-0-43-0 
Karthikeyan* 91 (109 balls) 
Rampaul 16 (16 balls)

 

[surendar]

You are on very comfortable track Kutta.. RRR is just around 4 and 7 wickets in hand... game is in ur bag

And in my game, RRR is looking huge for leftie now,

End of Over 37: 158-6, runrate=4.27, reqrunrate=11.00 (300-3)
Mulligan 7-1-22-2
Dunn* 21 (43 balls)
Dixon 4 (12 balls)
Last Wicket: Fenoughty b. Hamed 22 (FOW: 138/6)

 

[aussie1st]

As predicted an easy win for you Kutta.

Game starts in 20 minutes, I see duded was unable to get his slow wicket, turned out to be flat.
