First of all I'd like to apologise for not updating sooner, only I've been very busy lately. OK well here is the next 15 overs.
Overs 11-25
After the loss of two quick wickets to Brett Lee. The two men at the crease take guard and score only a few runs over the next couple of overs.
With the Scots on the defensive Ponting decides a change in bowling is in order. Stuart Clarke is brought into the attack. With his fourth ball of the match he bowls a wide one outside off-stump tempting Watson to drive, but he misstimes it and the ball goes straight to Lee in the covers.
Watson will be dissapointed as he was going well
Hamilton and Haq try to take the attack to the bowlers and up the run-rate slightly.
This up in the tempo did not last long when Lee struck again. His pace was too much for Haq and all he could do was chip it to Watson and watch as an easy catch was taken.
Watson is delighted
New man Brown looks dangerous, so Ponting again changes the bowling. This time he turns to spinner Hogg. In Hogg's first over, Hamilton completely miss-judges the spin and is trapped plump LBW!
An easy decision for the umpire.
Half way through Scotland's innings, some brilliant bowling by Lee and outstanding captaincy by Ponting leaves the Scots at 89/5 needing a run-rate of 8.16 per over.
The Scots have been outdone by spin and pace
A fantastic spell by Lee

89/5 is expected when you play a quality side... But Scotties should have clearly in their mind that " we are going to play full 50 overs whatever the target may be "
Btw, great presentation mate

Overs 26-39
Brown started off the next few overs well with a big six.
Unfortunately his attacking style didn't pay off and while trying to sweep a delivery from Hogg, he caught a top edge leaving the ball to fly high in the air for an easy catch.
Things did not get any better for the batsmen when Smith went to Jaques in the very next over.
With Australia now into the tail it seemed as though it would not be long until the match was wrapped up, but captain Wright and bowler Nel put on a much needed partnership hitting numerous boundaries
Good attacking play by Wright and Nel.
It was during this onslaught when Ponting made his final bowling change, throwing the ball to Watson for his second spell. He managed to contain the batsmen until his fourth over when he dispatched Wright 2 runs short of the 50 partnership, and then Hoffman on the very next ball!
The 10th wicket partnership put on 10 runs before Blain was bowled by a perfect yorker which sent his off-stump flying, Watson had finally cleaned up the tail!
Sorry, I lost my scorecard.jpg :crying but here are Scotland's top scorers:
D.Brown:34
C.Wright:30
D.Nel:26*
R.Watson:16
Scotland all out for 169 after 39 overs
Watson did a good job clearing up the tail!
This shows Scotland would have got around 220 had they batted their full 50 overs

Sorry guys for not updating for ages but my life has been pretty hectic. However it's now time for the next match!
South Africa get off to a flyer with both Smith and De Villiers scoring quickly.
Boundaries all round!
Smith really takes the bowlers on hitting a huge six!
Up go the umpire's arms.
Smith goes again. This time hitting it right back over Hoffman's head.
Hoffman got his revenge the very next ball when Smith tried to hit one too many. He misstimes a big one and is caught easily at mid-off by Hamilton
South Africa look to be in a commanding position at 49/1 after 10 overs. Smith will be angry with himself for throwing his wicket away after a good start, but his team should be able to rack up a big total.
Hoffman got the danger man Smith.
