Welcome to Noelle Road for the match between Rabbitohs and Borncricketers XI.

We can tell you that Rabbitohs won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this partially cloudy and windy day.

End of Over 35: 93-10, runrate=2.66
Tau 5-1-13-1
Tawab* 39 (77 balls)

My innnigs started good enough n then

3.3 W Mould to Abdul kadir
HOWZAT! The umpire takes a while to think about it, and raises his finger! OUT.

and then next over

4.3 W Serrant to Bowler
Good job Penford is as agile as a cat, that's as quick as they come

I think those should be the only 2 wickets they will be getting

End of Over 7: 39-2, runrate=5.57, reqrunrate=1.28 (93-10)
Serrant 4-0-26-1
Karthikeyan* 8 (8 balls)
Rampaul 7 (8 balls)

EDIT...ooo..that not good

End of Over 11: 65-3, runrate=5.91, reqrunrate=0.74 (93-10)
Sanders 1-0-6-1
Karthikeyan* 31 (26 balls)
Hocking 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Rampaul b. Sanders 10 (FOW: 65/3)


10.6 W Sanders to Rampaul
A bit of reverse swing and he tears the middle stump out. Fantastic bowling!!

16.4 4 Sanders to Karthikeyan
Stunning fielding from Serrant. The third umpire is going to have a look and yes, his arm just touched the rope before he could get rid of the ball. Unlucky.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Karthikeyan gets his 50 as v need 2 more runs to win

17.2 W Sedgwick to Karthikeyan
In the air, and caught. Disley could have caught that with his back to the play. Karthikeyan is clearly frustrated with himself.

n now Karthikeyan gets out with 3 runs still needed

End of Over 18: 93-4, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=0.03 (93-10)
Sedgwick 4-0-15-1
Hocking* 7 (16 balls)
Angell 1 (1 balls)

scores tied right now...
dot ball...
SINGLE

And that's the end of the match. Borncricketers XI won by 6 wickets.
Rabbitohs 93-10
Borncricketers XI 94-4


End of Over 19: 94-4, runrate=4.95
Sanders 4-0-20-1
Hocking* 8 (18 balls)
1 (1 balls)

And thats the end...we win but not as convincingly as i thought..good work by rabbitohs bowlers to pick up 4 wickets

 

[jdeus]

All that time I waited to find out I lost as one of my openers scored 65 off like 115 balls!!!


If he had gone fast I would have probably won!

End of Over 4: 25-0, runrate=6.25
Fieldwick 2-0-13-0
Sohail* 9 (8 balls)
Ainsworth 16 (16 balls)

Pleased to be bowling, but a bit of an expensive start. I'm a greatly improved team to the one Briggsey beat the last time we played, I'm hoping for a much tighter match. We'll see how it goes.

4.4 W Otto to Sohail
Sohail drives hard but the swing beats him, edged to the keeper for an easy catch.
4.3 . Otto to Sohail
On the front foot, pushed to the off and cover doing the fielding.
4.2 . Otto to Sohail
On the front foot, stroked to the off.
4.1 . Otto to Sohail
Good, tight, lifting ball on off stump, forced down into the ground, away to point in defence.

String a few dot balls together, the pressure starts to tell...

End of Over 7: 45-1, runrate=6.43
Otto 4-1-20-1
Moodley* 7 (7 balls)
Ainsworth 28 (23 balls)

Ainsworth, as always, a big wicket. Hopefully I can get him before my openers come off.

End of Over 8: 48-2, runrate=6.00
Fieldwick 4-0-28-1
Ainsworth* 29 (26 balls)
Ali 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Moodley c. Otto b. Fieldwick 8 (FOW: 48/2)


7.6 W Fieldwick to Moodley
Half volley, skied away to long on where Otto takes the catch.

Good, tight over from Fieldwick, and another wicket. I want that run rate down and that wickets column up...

End of Over 20: 115-2, runrate=5.75
Hemmings 5-0-35-0
Ali* 24 (32 balls)
Ainsworth 70 (66 balls)

Not too bad at the 20 over mark, but need to get both of these to out ASAP.

End of Over 23: 124-5, runrate=5.39
Slaytor 5-0-20-2
Cox* 1 (1 balls)
Cornes 65 (78 balls)


awful start, cornes outstanding yet again, need cox to show his worth to the side

 

[FreddieFan]

24.6 W Stiles to Ali
You won't see an easier catch than that, Purse didn't have to move in the end.

Gotcha

My match against Fatal.Error is going incredibly well:

End of Over 27: 58-10, runrate=2.15
Long 3-2-6-3
Matthews* 0 (8 balls)

Jeez, noone expected that! fatal error has a decent team, and I expected to lose, but after that...
Good effort from all the bowlers, picking up a wicket each...Hopefully we dont have a mega collapse...

End of Over 7: 39-2, runrate=5.57, reqrunrate=0.47 (58-10)
Ahmed 4-0-14-2
Kekeletso* 25 (20 balls)
Wood 5 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Edwards c. Raheem b. Ahmed 2 (FOW: 20/2)

 

[fatal.error]

I cant believe it as well. I am mad on my batsmen now. I am gonna fire each batsmen in this linup. Shame on them.

oh well, three wickets in an over for me.

posted 223-10


which might be enough, my best bowlers are at 4+5 so i hope it snot over before they get a decent shot

 

[FreddieFan]

End of Over 45: 279-3, runrate=6.20
Fieldwick 8-0-55-1
Ainsworth* 148 (139 balls)
Jepson 64 (62 balls)

Game's starting to run away from me. I need a top performance from either Gilroy or Stiles, preferably both, to have a chance.

 

[GrayNicolls]

46.6 W Newton to Lawrence
Bowled him! The inswinger clearly bamboozled Lawrence and he didn't even attempt to play it. That one'll keep him awake tonight!
46.5 W Newton to Hodgson
His score will advance no further, Hodgson has edged that ball onto the stumps. Good allround bowling peformance there from Newton.
46.4 W Newton to Grabb
That's hit him above the knee-roll. Grabb won't be pleased with that decision.

Hattrick.
