Sumner 2-0-12-0
Weaver* 44 (48 balls)
North 55 (55 balls)

Can't believe how well my batters are going, hope they don't collapse though.

Not looking good for you Brett, Lee is looking quite set there and they don't have too much to get from here.

End of Over 22: 112-2, runrate=5.09
Haishen	1-0-3-0
Abdul kadir*	42 (63 balls)
Singh lali	5 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Moodley lbw b. Weir 49 (FOW: 105/2)

21.6 	.	Haishen to Singh lali
		A play and a miss. I'd let this lad play in my grandad's greenhouse... there's no chance of him breaking any windows with shots like that.
21.6 	nb.	Haishen to Singh lali
		no ball, That delivery strays down leg side, catching the pad on the way through. A half-hearted appeal by the keeper but Haishen wasn't wasting his breath appealing for that one.
21.5 	1	Haishen to Abdul kadir
		Solid stroke to mid off.
21.4 	.	Haishen to Abdul kadir
		Good ball, Abdul kadir moves forward and defends to the point region.
21.3 	1	Haishen to Singh lali
		Outstanding save from Hitish! Singh lali creamed that to the covers and Hitish dived full length to his left to cut off a boundary.
21.2 	.	Haishen to Singh lali
		Haishen was right on the money there, but stonewall defence from Singh lali keeps the ball out. Thou shalt not pass.
21.1 	.	Haishen to Singh lali
		Fullish, straight ball, a little uncertainly drawn forward in defence, taken on the front pad and the ball balloons up in close on the off side.

...Still evenly poised.

EDIT:

23.4 	W	Haishen to Abdul kadir
		Out! Abdul kadir had a nibble and Darby takes a comfortable catch at waist height. Classic dismissal.

Haishen dismisses Abdul Kadir

Tau 2-0-6-0
Malik* 1 (5 balls)
Mohammed 6 (11 balls)

Last Wicket: Padayachie b. Ali 0 (FOW: 63/9)

Well a fairly 1 sided contest so far....

 

[kuttakumar]

Jhansi CC has lost half of their side!:happy

26.5 	W	Dangasela to Govender
		Doesn't Govender know what sport he is playing? What a ridiculous way to lose your wicket

Dangasela struck finally after being hammered early in the match.

EDIT:And make that six!

27.3 	W	Haishen to Singh lali
		Hook, line and sinker! Haishen tempts Singh lali into fishing outside off stump, Weir reeling in an ugly outside edge at slip.

No wait seven....

28.1 	W	Dangasela to Rampaul
		He didn't get anything on that one, and is struck cleanly on the pad. The umpire has no hesitation in giving him out LBW.

End of Over 28: 71-10, runrate=2.54

[rickyp]

looks like a win for you aussie, im watching your game live

 

[kuttakumar]

Paki is now hammering my bowlers.

30.2	4	Dangasela to Paki
		Hilarious! Dangasela is not pleased as what looked like a single has turned into four runs because Bakmeewewa let the ball go through his legs.

30.6	4	Dangasela to Paki
		The straight drive beats the mid on fielder and races away for four.

31.5 	4	Weir to Paki
		That pie has been dispatched to the boundary

33.5 	6	Weir to Paki
		Short ball is picked up just over the rope at deep backward square.

Now I have a question to my skipper.Where is my best bowler, Naidoo?

 

[rickyp]

Haha cool :cool:

Yep no collapse from my boys and what a win this is to chase 284 and only lose 2 wickets. I certainly don't want to be bowling last wicket my attack though.

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by 8 wickets.
Tangys All-Stars 284-4
Baggy Blues 285-2

End of Over 45: 285-2, runrate=6.33
