0.1 Vince van der Bijl to Romesh Kaluwithrana, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though. (1)
0.2 Vince van der Bijl to Funknath, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time. (6)
0.3 Vince van der Bijl to Funknath, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run. (0)
0.4 Vince van der Bijl to Funknath, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two. (2)

Well played VV but still we have a 2-1 win on you all this season.
Our batting is great as as usual and our bowling is just crap. Loads of changes coming in the next match.
