PP Battrick League: Match Thread

[Sean]

Post all match commentaries, score cards from the PP league in here.

[Sean]

Good luck for tomorrow's match, Kamran. Looking forward to it. I defeated you quite comfortable last time. My team was weaker then. It has improved heaps more in skill. But I'm currently in a form slump, which I am struggling to get out of. I heard that you have improved heaps. I can't wait. :)

Starts later for me. At 2pm my time. Which I have never done before. So this is a first.

kamran what do you mean fitness update?

[Kamran]

kamran what do you mean fitness update?
wel you know we have a update everyday, 5.30am uk time for pakistan league well say im playing sean at his ground in aus then he would get his update so if his player was at energetic he would go up to superb but if my player was at energetic he wouldnt go up to superb because the match would have started before the update happens in pakistan. so sean would have a advantage over because it works out that his players would have had 1 more day to recover.

oh yep i get you. i dont think it would make such a big difference

[Kamran]

oh yep i get you. i dont think it would make such a big difference
it does one level of fitness is equal to half a level of primary so a low proficent would actually play like a high respectable so it is a big difference especially if it happens to every player.

[hasbeen]

oh i didnt know that. how about the general fitness of a team? how much affect does that have on the team?

[Kamran]

i know it does have some effect but dont know how much,but i have tried to take it easy as often as possible.

[iZeeshan]

MCM, all I have to say is: Good luck. You'll need it.

SO excited for the match!

[MCMLXXXII]

All I will say is that you post the scorecard when it is over.

[Daoud]

Same thing. Best man's team to make it a compromise :)
But yes, hopefully it shall be a good game

[hasbeen]

hmm what is your teams overall fitness?

[Daoud]

hmm what is your teams overall fitness?
Fair. Yours?

[Sean]

I know you're not asking me, but mines fresh. Have you been GFI, Daoud?

[Daoud]

I know you're not asking me, but mines fresh. Have you been GFI, Daoud?
Nope, normal. Maybe the 100% training level is playing a part

[Sean]

Oh yeah, I guess. But if you want the best out of your young players, you have to have it at 100%
I have mine at 100%

[Daoud]

Oh yeah, I guess. But if you want the best out of your young players, you have to have it at 100%
I have mine at 100%
Might be cause I only rotate a few players. I do have a few bowlers of a similar standard but dont have any real depth in batting

[Sean]

Maybe it's time for you to start buying players?

[hasbeen]

Fair. Yours?

mine is fair too.

[Sean]

Only a couple of minutes left! I'm excited!

[Sean]

We can tell you that Sanyo won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this partially cloudy and humid day.

I wanted to bowl. :(

[Sean]

0.1 W Wise to Saich
There is no sweeter sound in cricket than the sound of the bails clattering to the floor, so it's no wonder that Wise is pleased. Bowled him!

Great start for Kamran!

Everyone batting well at the moment.

[Sean]

How come there are only 5 matches? Where is the 6th match?
The 6th match is in England. So it starts in about 4 hours.

[Sean]

10.1 W Rizwanullah to Qadir
Ball on Qadir's body, glanced through to Mohmand, who takes a diving catch down leg side. Was that glove or thigh? The umpire's taking his time... and that's out, he says. Great snatch!

Qadir goes for 21

[Sean]

Vegitto has lost his 2nd wicket.

10.3 W Nobel to Butt
Edged off the toe of the bat and it's Christmas come early for Standing.

[Sean]

End of Over 14: 75-2, runrate=5.36
Inam 2-0-5-0
Myall* 44 (35 balls)
Cohen 4 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Qadir c. Mohmand b. Rizwanullah 21 (FOW: 64/2)

Things have slowed down since the last wicket.

[Sean]

Another wicket lost for Vegitto! He's in a bit of trouble!

13.5 W Shura to Akhlagullah
Brilliant fielding by Douglas. He backpedalled a long way and has caught him.

Could there be an upset today?

[Sean]

End of Over 16: 81-2, runrate=5.06
Inam 3-0-6-0
Myall* 49 (40 balls)
Cohen 5 (22 balls)
Last Wicket: Qadir c. Mohmand b. Rizwanullah 21 (FOW: 64/2)

Cohen batting too slow for my liking.

16.2 1 Rizwanullah to Myall
Good length ball played down to Chaudhury at mid wicket and Myall hurries for a single. In comes the throw and they've just managed to reach safety. That Myall is a hare between the wickets!
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Myall gets yet another 50. What a brilliant young player!

[Sean]

Tom Cats has lost their first wicket.

16.1 W Shafi to Austin
Well flighted. Austin trys to cut it and a thin bottom edge is taken by Karimullah. You need fast hands and sharp eyes for catches like that.

[Sean]

End of Over 18: 86-2, runrate=4.78
Inam 4-0-7-0
Cohen* 6 (25 balls)
Myall 52 (49 balls)
Last Wicket: Qadir c. Mohmand b. Rizwanullah 21 (FOW: 64/2)

Kamran has put a real strangle-hold on me. Only 20 runs in the past 8 overs.

[Sean]

18.2 W Rizwanullah to Cohen
Out. A top edged pull shot is taken by Zeeshan diving to his left.

The strangle hold has given him a wicket. Cohen never looked comfortable at the crease.

[Sean]

Edit.

[Sean]

After 20 overs completed.

[Sean]

looks like a couple more wickets and ill be through your batting.
Yeah. Black just hit a four. :)

21.2 4 Farooq to Black
It's all the way to the boundary as Raza makes a desperate dive at the ball, but misses.

2 more batsmen then you're into the tail.

[Sean]

Woah! Karaachite really has Vegitto under a strangle hold! :O

[MCMLXXXII]

My openers doing great here. Zeeshan where is your secret weapon? Delap can't get any wickets! Hope I don't lose one by just saying that!

[Sean]

A couple of good overs for me. Probably because they have had a bowling change.

End of Over 24: 116-3, runrate=4.83
Farooq 7-0-38-0
Myall* 72 (68 balls)
Black 7 (15 balls)

[Sean]

Black just faced his first ball in 3 overs!

[iZeeshan]

My openers doing great here. Zeeshan where is your secret weapon? Delap can't get any wickets! Hope I don't lose one by just saying that!
Yea its a brilliant start. But both my openers are destructive and are on very attacking. Should be a good game. Just scared for Bakht, whos not gettng any wickets or bowling well.

[Sean]

Oh no. I'm under another spell! I see a wicket coming.

End of Over 27: 123-3, runrate=4.56

Last Wicket: Cohen c. Zeeshan b. Rizwanullah 6 (FOW: 87/3)

27.5 6 Farooq to Black

Black just went whack!

[Sean]

Scores after 30 overs.

Black 18 (28 balls)
Last Wicket: Cohen c. Zeeshan b. Rizwanullah 6 (FOW: 87/3)
---------------------------

MCM is really coasting at the moment.

[Sean]

Kamran's spell has given him another wicket.

30.5 W Rizwanullah to Black
Out. A top edged pull shot is taken by Zeeshan diving to his left.

Good partnership of 61 there.

I need Bridges to stay with Myall.

End of Over 31: 138-4, runrate=4.45
Rizwanullah 6-0-16-3
Myall* 82 (94 balls)
Bridges 0 (1 balls)

Bridges* 0 (1 balls)
Myall 86 (100 balls)
Last Wicket: Black c. Zeeshan b. Rizwanullah 18 (FOW: 138/4)

Myall really slowing down as he edges towards a hundred at a snails pace.

[Sean]

Oh! MCM lost his first wicket! partnership of 190 for the opening stand!

32.1 W Delap to Ashraf
Smashed that, but it's gone straight up in the air! That's gone. Back to the pavilion son, better luck next time!

[Sean]

End of Over 34: 149-5, runrate=4.38
Inam 7-0-17-1
Myall* 88 (102 balls)
Charlton 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Bridges b. Inam 5 (FOW: 149/5)
33.6 W Inam to Bridges
OUT! Easy as you like. It wasn't the best of shots from Bridges, but let's give the bowler some credit. He pushed that through a little bit quicker and he got his reward as the stumps went tumbling.

I'm screwed now. Charlton is now in. His highest score is only 10.And he's an allrounder!!!!

[Sean]

34.6 W Rizwanullah to Charlton
I don't think that hook shot went as planned because somehow it has ended up in the gloves of Mohmand.


And Charlton falls for a 3rd ball duck. I'm totally screwed now. :12:

End of Over 35: 152-6, runrate=4.34
Rizwanullah 8-0-23-4
Myall* 91 (105 balls)
Caskey 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Charlton c. Mohmand b. Rizwanullah 0 (FOW: 152/6)

[Sean]

Someone needs to teach Battrick batsman to hold the strike when a tail ender is batting.
35.1 1 Inam to Myall
Not fielded cleanly by Chaudhury. The batsmen get in for a single.

Thankfully Caskey didn't get out.

[Sean]

He does it again. :12:
36.1 1 Rizwanullah to Myall
Blocked into the leg side for a quick single.

[Sean]

Caskey gives the strike back. Straight away Myall gives it back to Caskey. And Caskey hits a six.

36.4 6 Rizwanullah to Caskey
Caskey didn't seem to like that ball, he's sent it packing and made the umpires get a new one.

[Sean]

Out next ball. You can never trust tailenders.

36.5 W Rizwanullah to Caskey
An edge, well taken by second slip.

End of Over 37: 163-7, runrate=4.41
Rizwanullah 9-0-31-5
Myall* 94 (108 balls)
Longrigg 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Caskey c. Raza b. Rizwanullah 6 (FOW: 163/7)

[Sean]

39.2 W Inam to Longrigg
That is a texbook dismissal. Pitched up in the corridor of uncertainty by Inam with just enough movement to take the edge off Longrigg's tentative prod and that is a regulation catch for Mohmand.

Longrigg goes. I'm going to be all out in a couple of overs. Btw, Myall is on 99. Nearing is 2nd century.

[Sean]

After 40 overs.

Myall* 99 (115 balls)

Last Wicket: Longrigg c. Mohmand b. Inam 0 (FOW: 168/8)
----------------------

Kamran, MCM, Shayan are on fire! Dewsbury Rams is bowling well. But has been unable to finish off Vegitto. Might cost him.

Century for Myall! Brilliant innings under pressure! Time for him to step up the run rate.

40.1 2 Wise to Myall
Swung hard down to long on. There's a little fumble from Raza and they get a brace.
And that's a century for Myall! Well played indeed Sir!

Myall finally doing the right thing. Holding the strike until the end of the over. Might be too little too late though now.

Then he gets a single on the 2nd ball of the next over. *sigh*

[Sean]

Lisbie goes out for 5.


41.6 W Chaudhury to Lisbie
The ball turns sharply out of the rough and Lisbie dollies up a simple catch to mid off.

Only a matter of minutes before I'm all out.

Myall* 105 (124 balls)

End of Over 43: 189-10, runrate=4.40
Lock 6-0-30-4
Anjum* 1 (4 balls)

[Sean]

Geez Tahir! You couldn't survive 2 balls! 2 Fricken balls! Not even one!

42.5 W Wise to Tahir
Tahir seemed to almost get out of the way of that. An absolute steam train of a delivery. It clipped his pads before going on to the stumps and although he's out, he'll be comforted that he can still feel his legs.

End of Over 43: 181-10, runrate=4.21
Wise 6-0-43-2
Myall* 106 (128 balls)

Terrible total after I was 3/136. I collapsed again and lost 7/45. *Sigh*
Why can't my team perform well all at once? Btw, Great innings from Myall. :14:

Caskey 4-0-21-0
Angus* 19 (19 balls)
Zeeshan 24 (23 balls)

Can't seem to get my team out of the terrible form slump.
My bowlers are bowling terribly bad for bowlers that are meant to be in good form!

Reverse swing?

7.1 . Tahir to Angus
Hmm, was that a bit of reverse swing for Tahir there? Angus certainly looked concerned.

[S_haq]

is the fitness level of your team low?

[Sean]

No. It is fresh.
Far out. Everyone has taken an early wicket except for me. :( :(

[Hari Sombar]

Rupalatha 12 (9 balls)

[Hari Sombar]

I need a four eery over, I need a Hitish blinder here

[Hari Sombar]

6.2 . Corbett to Hitish
Down off and left to Akmal but Corbett has fallen over. Hitish can't stop laughing.


:)) :)) :)) Go Hitish ! :))

[Hari Sombar]

7.6 4 Bangash to Hitish
Hitish was onto that in a flash. Bangash really needs to sort out his line and length.

7.5 1 Bangash to Rupalatha
Pushed into the covers for one run.

7.4 4 Bangash to Rupalatha
That's a crackerjack stroke from Rupalatha, rat-a-tat-tatting Bangash over mid-wicket for four.

7.3 1 Bangash to Hitish
Pushes it to mid on and runs a quick single.

7.2 4 Bangash to Hitish
The outfield is like a billiard table out towards Wajahat at deep extra cover. No-one would have stopped that one racing away.

7.1 1 Bangash to Rupalatha
Well forward, stroked out to mid wicket as they scramble for the single.

brilliant over 15 off

[Sean]

End of Over 16: 93-0, runrate=5.81, reqrunrate=2.62 (181-10)
Lisbie 3-0-7-0
Angus* 36 (46 balls)
Zeeshan 52 (50 balls)

Lisbie bowling brilliantly!

[Hari Sombar]

9.5 . Bangash to Rupalatha
Plays and misses outside off, the bowler follows through to exchange views with the batsman. The slips burst out laghing and Bangash walks away looking angry. Couldn't quite hear what Rupalatha said there, might have been something to do with biscuits.


haha, my team are better at talking :P

[Sean]

WICKET!!!!!
17.1 W Lisbie to Zeeshan
Too simple! A slower ball from Lisbie makes Zeeshan misjudge his shot and he's lobbed it straight back into Lisbie's hands.

[Sean]

Are these figures good or good?

Lisbie 4-1-7-1

[Sean]

16.6 6 Dangasela to Hitish
Oh and Hitish looks to have hit one of the members in the pavillon who'll probably want his money back now!

16.5 1 Dangasela to Rupalatha
On the back foot, played out to the on.

41.2 1 Ur-rehman to Xolani
Easy single to long off.
41.1 1 Ur-rehman to Ali
It looked like two runs after a great cover drive by Ali. However, excellent fielding by Kamal restricts them to one.

Kamal 6-0-37-0
Ali* 32 (19 balls)

Good quick thinking by Ali. The batsmen sprint for the single.

Driven to mid off.
39.3 . Corbett to Xolani
Straight bat, on the back foot, cover quick to field.
39.2 1 Corbett to Ali

yeh i was in a dilemma on what to do first. bat or bowl. i saw you were a good chaser and thought id field first.

Slow going. I usually do pretty poorly when batting first

Well done to all those who've won so far
same here. I play very bad when batting first. And that showed today.

[Sean]

Tables now up. Will update again after your match finishes.

[Daoud]

All I can say is that Im glad that my home ground is hard and fast. Not a fan of the slow choke strategy

[Hari Sombar]

thx sean appreciate it

Man, it makes you think, if someone batting faster and got 8 runs more quicker I could have won :(

well, my team put up a good fight

if i get a quick one or two wickets, i dont think your batting is that strong lower down

Do the net run rates look right? I did it using MCM's formula.

[Daoud]

if i get a quick one or two wickets, i dont think your batting is that strong lower down
Nope. Only really have batting till 7 and out of them, Mian and Heishan are quite inexperienced

[Sean]

Thats why I wanted to bat first so wasnt disappointed when you sent me in. Saw the dusty pitch and had a late change in orders :D
Do pitches deteriorate on Battrick? I know they will next season in FC cricket. But do they deteriorate in ODs?

[Sean]

I've lost my past 5 matches. I'm really struggling of late.

Team morale is pessimistic. :|

[iZeeshan]

Hahahah! MCM, I won! I WON! So happy!

Was a really good game though. You put up an excellent score, but my batsmen are just too good for you :D

[Sean]

Ahh, typical Zeeshan. :P

I'm proud of you lad. :29:

[Sean]

2 quick wickets for Hasbeen.

40.1 W Graham to Taseeruddin
Jarman dives spectacularly to his left, catching the ball with one hand. Unbelievable! That was a real 'Champagne Moment'.
40.4 W Graham to Mian
That's bowled Mian, terrible shot that, I've seen better batters in a fish 'n' chip shop.

Graham 6-0-30-2
Iqbal* 32 (72 balls)
Zaheeuddin 1 (1 balls)

Hasbeen on top.

Edit. Another wicket! Hasbeen on fire and into the tail!

41.4 W Martin to Zaheeuddin
The flight has beaten him there. Martin shows that you don't always need prodigious spin of the ball to take wickets.

41.5 W Martin to Haishen
That's a beautiful googly. Haishen swiped wildly but missed and the click of the stumps was heard.

Anothe wicket! He didnt get his hattrick.

End of Over 42: 141-6, runrate=3.36

Daoud, Daoud, Daoud. What the hell is going on? You've lost 4/7!

OH DAOUD! WHAT's HAPPENING!?!

42.4 W Graham to Tahir
An inswinger deceives Tahir all ends up and rips out his middle stump.

[hasbeen]

comon lads. after a good start doaud is collapsing

[Sean]

43.2 6 Martin to Iqbal
Whoa! Iqbal waltzes down the track and sends the ball soaring over long off. Super strike.

Nice.

[hasbeen]

martin gets his sweet revenge and gets iqbal out

[Sean]

And out.

43.3 W Martin to Iqbal
That one's coming down with snow on it, and held magnificently by Morris. Martin is delighted with that catch and mobs Morris.

[Sean]

Martin 10-0-23-4

Brilliant figures. Absolutely brilliant. :19:

[Sean]

What happened to the wickets? :(

[hasbeen]

157-9 :)

[hasbeen]

158 all out. with 159 needed i should be favourite but my batting line up is very weak. dauod should be disappointed after his great start

[Sean]

There we go.

45.4 W Hougaard to Rasheed
Great fielding from Tomlinson! diving to his right he got back to his feet quickly and threw when off balance. Direct hit, the batsman had no chance!



46.1 W Graham to Manzoor
That one would have bowled even the best batsman in the world. He had no chance. Just too good.

End of Over 47: 158-10, runrate=3.36
Graham 8-0-33-4
Rafatullah* 3 (8 balls)

[Sean]

8/24. :O

Not has bad as s_haq's effort of losing 6/6. LOL!

By you I was generally speaking. Looks like your batting is pretty comfortable right now. By the time the spinners come on, its likely to be too late

[iZeeshan]

The game is in 13 hours. Have to win this game to move on, because I can't guarentee a win against Big Daddy, Pakiblitz.

[Sean]

We can tell you that Gillys Demolition Team won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a cracker! Hard and fast - should be a run-fest out there on this sunny day.

End of Over 1: 6-0, runrate=6.00
Caskey 1-0-6-0
Chanderpaul* 1 (2 balls)
Hitish 5 (4 balls)

[Sean]

End of Over 7: 55-0, runrate=7.86
Caskey 4-0-31-0
Chanderpaul* 19 (20 balls)
Hitish 33 (25 balls)

6.6 4 Caskey to Hitish
Edged and through the slips for four. Caskey seems to be losing his cool here. He could do with some comforting words from his teammates to calm him down.
6.5 4 Caskey to Hitish
That one strays down leg, rubbish really, and that's well worked off the legs for four by Hitish. Meat and drink to him, not to mention bread and butter
6.4 1 Caskey to Chanderpaul
Short, lift, pulled to the region of deep mid wicket. Charlton doing the fielding.
6.3 . Caskey to Chanderpaul
The ball is a bit mistimed but it falls safely to the ground.
6.2 1 Caskey to Hitish
one run, well hit but straight to long on and they’ll only get one.
6.1 4 Caskey to Hitish
An inside edge just beats a diving Bridges and races to the boundary for four.

If I could control what was happening, they'd be off in a flash.

[Sean]

YESY EYES YE S YES!!!! WIcket!


End of Over 8: 61-1, runrate=7.63
Tahir 4-0-30-1
Hitish* 35 (27 balls)
Rupalatha 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Chanderpaul b. Tahir 23 (FOW: 61/1)
7.6 W Tahir to Chanderpaul
Wow, what a cracker of a ball by Tahir, Chanderpaul obviously had no idea, his castle's been cleaned out, and he's on his way home.

That should slow things down.

[Sean]

Only 4 from the over!



End of Over 10: 71-1, runrate=7.10
Tahir 5-0-33-1
Hitish* 40 (34 balls)
Rupalatha 4 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Chanderpaul b. Tahir 23 (FOW: 61/1)

:O:O:O:O

[Sean]

Handbury off to a terrible start.

11.3 4 Handbury to Rupalatha
Rupalatha guards middle and leg, giving him room for a fantastic square cut. Four runs all the way.
11.2 4 Handbury to Rupalatha
Shows the full face of the bat and punches it down the ground for four.
11.1 1 Handbury to Hitish
That's a neat little late cut through the vacant third slip region for a single.

[Sean]

End of Over 14: 103-1, runrate=7.36
Handbury 2-0-18-0
Hitish* 50 (45 balls)
Rupalatha 26 (18 balls)
Last Wicket: Chanderpaul b. Tahir 23 (FOW: 61/1)

The wicket didn't do anything :12:

[Sean]

15.3 6 Handbury to Hitish
Superb stroke by Hitish. You don't see a square cut for six everyday.
15.2 4 Handbury to Hitish
A square drive beats a diving fielder in the covers.
15.1 4 Handbury to Hitish
Lofted drive away for four through the covers.

Rupalatha 31 (27 balls)
Last Wicket: Chanderpaul b. Tahir 23 (FOW: 61/1)

OMG! Only one from it!

[Sean]

2 bouncers. :D

17.2 . Handbury to Hitish
This is getting nasty. Plenty of chat flying and I think it's time to turn the stump microphones off; this is all very uncivilised.
17.1 . Handbury to Hitish
The bouncer! Teriffic ball, right around the throat area and Hitish just ducks in the nick of time to get his noggin out of the way.

[Sean]

End of Over 18: 127-1, runrate=7.06
Handbury 4-0-36-0
Hitish* 69 (58 balls)
Rupalatha 31 (29 balls)

Hitish* 70 (62 balls)
Rupalatha 31 (31 balls)

I feel something big coming.

[iZeeshan]

OMG! I am sorry Sean, but you are getting pwned!

[MCMLXXXII]

Sean the game looks pretty even at the moment. What do you think? I just looked at it right now. You were doing badly before?

Yeah. Check this out for before.

15.6 2 Handbury to Rupalatha
Rocks onto the backfoot and cuts it away for an easy two.
15.5 . Handbury to Rupalatha
Charlton earns his lunchtime crust with an incredible stop at point, saving four runs.
15.4 1 Handbury to Hitish
Glided to third man for a comfortable single.
15.3 6 Handbury to Hitish
Superb stroke by Hitish. You don't see a square cut for six everyday.
15.2 4 Handbury to Hitish
A square drive beats a diving fielder in the covers.
15.1 4 Handbury to Hitish
Lofted drive away for four through the covers.

But then I had heaps of cheap overs. Wow. I'm doing well now.

Here are the wickets.

30.3 W Longrigg to Hitish
Oh that's magnificent! Cat-like reactions from first slip to take that catch. They'll be replaying that one a few times in the studio.

31.2 W Handbury to Rupalatha
That's a shame, Rupalatha has spanked that one away, but has broken the stumps with his bat. :))) :)))

33.5 W Handbury to Macdonald
Big inswinging yorker crashes into his pads. Massive appeal and given!


End of Over 39: 202-4, runrate=5.18
Charlton 8-0-37-0
Xolani* 8 (20 balls)
Ali 19 (18 balls)

[Sean]

End of Over 41: 217-4, runrate=5.29
Tahir 6-0-39-1
Ali* 23 (22 balls)
Xolani 18 (28 balls)
Last Wicket: Macdonald lbw b. Handbury 2 (FOW: 177/4)

[Sean]

Wow! Great work Sean! Pretty even match now.

Myall and Qadir are playing right?
Yeah. Shiiite! I forgot to make Myall captain. Oh well.

[iZeeshan]

My match is in 2 hours. I should be awake at that time. Studying for my Geo exam.

[Sean]

I'm getting spanked towards the end of my innings.



42.3 4 Tahir to Xolani
He's in fantastic nick today, sublime timing adds four more to his tally.
42.2 4 Tahir to Xolani
Played past a diving mid on fielder for the boundary.
42.1 1 Tahir to Ali
Solid stroke to wide extra cover, Saich fielding.

[Sean]

My match is in 2 hours. I should be awake at that time. Studying for my Geo exam.
If you are asleep when the match finishes, just come on PP when you wake up. Because I'll give updates for the matches and the scorecards.

[Sean]

44.5 W Tahir to Xolani
Xolani has struck that a long way in the air. Cohen could sign an autograph while he waits for this one to come down. Out!

Wicket! Big wicket! Crucial to get the batsman who is set out!

[Sean]

[Sean]

Last Wicket: Moodley b. Caskey 0 (FOW: 264/8)
45.6 W Caskey to Moodley
Good ball. Caskey hit those wooden stick things in the ground and the twigs on top went flying.

Tahir misses out on his hattrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiick!!

46.1 2 Tahir to Ali
Double trouble here as a misfield by Handbury at midwicket lets the batsmen scamper through for two.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

[Sean]

End of Over 47: 273-8, runrate=5.81
Tahir 9-0-66-3
Ali* 56 (42 balls)
Singh lali 1 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Moodley b. Caskey 0 (FOW: 264/8)

Caskey coming into ball. Crowd going crazy..........

*Silence*

47.1 1 Caskey to Ali
Banged in, and it hits Ali's bat handle. That could have gone anywhere but it drops square, with nobody there. Caskey jumps up, and holds his head in his hands as the batsmen run through for a quick single.

Oh so close! Nearly a hattrick! Brilliant ball!

[Sean]

Gone! Mr Singh Lali goes!


47.6 W Caskey to Singh lali
Hands like flypaper! That one really stuck.

End of Over 48: 278-9, runrate=5.79

[iZeeshan]

Sean, lots of "haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatrick" chances eh? Good going?

[Sean]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HATRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!


4.4 W Rudd to Cohen
What a catch, what a marvellous catch by Karthikeyan.
4.3 W Rudd to Qadir
Qadir misses the ball completely and it hits the pads. Big appeal and he's given! It looked like it pitched outside leg but TV replays show it pitched on leg stump. Fantastic umpiring.
4.2 W Rudd to Saich
Well caught by Macdonald.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

End of Over 5: 22-3, runrate=4.40, reqrunrate=5.91 (287-10)
Rudd 3-0-13-3
Myall* 11 (13 balls)
Black 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Cohen c. Karthikeyan b. Rudd 0 (FOW: 20/3)

Oh and they were bowled out for 287.

[Sean]

I need a 150 partnership between Myall and Black right here, right now. Or I'm a gonna and out of the tournament.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAME OVER! ALL OVER! IT's ALL OVER!
MYALL HAS GONE! NO!!!!!!!!!

7.3 W Singh lali to Myall
A dive to the left with hand outstretched sees a superb catch from Macdonald in the slips.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sean]

****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7.4 W Singh lali to Bridges
Bridges gets himself in a complete muddle there and is trapped LBW in front of the stumps.

[iZeeshan]

Oh man. Sean I feel really bad for you. This sux.

[Sean]

FCUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8.3 W Rudd to Charlton
Great delivery from Rudd, Charlton has a dash at it and finds the edge. Dropped at first slip! No! Yes! No! Chanderpaul looked to have spilled the catch, but his quick reflexes allowed him to recover and he gobbled up the crumbs after some fumbles. Out!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS BULL ****!!!!!!!!!! FOR **** SAKE!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG! NOOOO!!!!

[Sean]

End of Over 9: 41-6, runrate=4.56, reqrunrate=6.02 (287-10)
Rudd 5-0-28-4
Black* 5 (8 balls)
Caskey 4 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Charlton c. Chanderpaul b. Rudd 0 (FOW: 37/6)

FAR OUT! This is murder! What the hell! IMAGINE IF THIS WAS A GREEN PITCH!

[Sean]

SHITT!ON ANOTHER HATTRCIK. ****ING HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!


9.3 W Singh lali to Longrigg
Longrigg hammers that one, but Moodley foils him and takes a great catch deep on the boundary.
9.2 W Singh lali to Caskey
Gone! Singh lali has bowled Caskey with a yorker. To top it off, Caskey's broken his bat as he slammed it into the pitch trying to keep that delivery out.

[iZeeshan]

Wow. I am getting so mad. This game is incredibly unfair to you. You have better batsmen then that.

Though Rudders and Singh lali are terriffic bowlers.

[Sean]

10.4 W Rudd to Handbury
I could hear that nick from up here. Xolani takes it comfortably.

:12::12::12::12::12::12::12::12::12:

[Sean]

Moodley 1-0-3-0
Tahir* 1 (5 balls)
Black 13 (14 balls)
Last Wicket: Handbury c. Xolani b. Rudd 0 (FOW: 47/9)

This is bull ****. Tahir can survive more than one ball when I've lost.
But can't do it when the game's on the line! I hate battrick!

[Sean]

And that's the end of the match. India Rules won by 236 runs.
