Munroe*	109 (106 balls)

Two great performances there. Now I need a masterclass from Hodge or it's 1-1 with one to play.

Jamee all out for 199, thanks to Kealey's 72 off 117. Fernando took 4, while Canning and Erasmus got 3 each.

Shame you didn't break 400 or get Darryl to 100

Hodge- esque stuff from Darryl.

0.2 	W	Hodge to Hocking
 	 	Good length ball from Hodge grips off the seam and the batsman's defenses are found wanting as a faint edge is found. A simple catch for the keeper.
2.2 	W	Hodge to Gravey
 	 	Hodge finds some swing and Jephcott takes a simple catch.
4.5 	W	Hodge to Maughan
 	 	Short outside off stump and moving away. Maughan plays away from his body, gets an edge and Heads takes the catch.

Well, he certainly started well. Hocking for a duck is the best news ever. Hopefully he can grab hiller as well and then the game is almost ours. Pryde going for 10 an over at the other end, mind.

Freaking Bardle

End of Over 3: 6-2, runrate=2.00, reqrunrate=4.13 (199-10)
Bardle	2-1-2-2
Kilkenny*	2 (4 balls)
Sutton	0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Terry c. Wanless b. Bardle 0 (FOW: 6/2)
2.6 	.	Bardle to Sutton
 	 	Pitched wide outside off stump, swinging away, Sutton left it alone.
2.5 	W	Bardle to Terry
 	 	That's a fantastic take by Wanless.
2.4 	W	Bardle to Farmer
 	 	Farmer glances a poor, leg side delivery off his hips but he doesn't get enough on it and a stunning one-handed catch from Wanless brings his innings to an end.

Edit: Gareth Bardle- spawn of the devil

4.5 	W	Bardle to Griffin
 	 	Griffin edges a ball on a good line and is given out.
4.4 	.	Bardle to Griffin
 	 	Bouncer and Griffin gets out of the line of fire.
4.3 	.	Bardle to Griffin
 	 	Well I have no idea how Griffin managed to dig that yorker out.
4.2 	.	Bardle to Griffin
 	 	Good fullish ball angling away outside off stump, left alone and through to Wanless.
4.1 	W	Bardle to Sutton
 	 	Absolutely plumb! By the time the bowler looked back to the umpire, the finger was already up.

Reimann gone - basically our best batsmen.

Going to be a very one sided affair

End of Over 5: 10-4, runrate=2.00, reqrunrate=4.22 (199-10)
Bardle 3-2-2-4
Kilkenny* 4 (7 balls)
Canning 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Griffin c. Wanless b. Bardle 0 (FOW: 10/4)

Best person.

MAGICAL PONIES 10/5


5.3 W Kealey to Kilkenny
Forward defence not quite executed correctly......... the ball has spun back toward the stumps and the bail just falls. Kealey smiles wryly and looks up to the gods.

 

[andyc]

Not happy tbh. Tears will flow if this continues

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

End of Over 12: 69-3, runrate=5.75, reqrunrate=4.11 (224-10)
Viduka	1-0-5-0
Allison*	19 (26 balls)
Hiller	36 (34 balls)

Need a few wickets, namely these two, and soon.

 

[NZTailender]

Doing marginally better than Andy.

[NZTailender]

We need to play each other, Andy. Just to let you run through my side and get your confidence back up

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

15.3 	W	Viduka to Allison
 	 	Allison drops the knee and swings a mighty slog-sweep but gets a thick edge and skies it to square leg. Hodge is in a good position and takes a great catch.

Get in! Need Hiller badly here.

 

[Agent TBY]

Sigh. 9-2 against Hougaard. Atleast I'll make some 350k thanks to gate receipts.

 

[andyc]

16.3 	4	Bardle to Tedstone
 	 	Plays that on the back foot and that's four runs.
16.2 	3	Bardle to Canning
 	 	Three runs, a rarity on this small ground but very well run indeed.

Tedstone and Canning carrying me to respectability

End of Over 17: 67-5, runrate=3.94, reqrunrate=4.03 (199-10)
Bardle 9-3-30-4
Canning* 23 (30 balls)
Tedstone 30 (41 balls)

Edit: Bardle finishes his spell, 4/33 off 10

As is Siya and Pullers. He hasn't had a decent bat since popping to respectable so this will be a good test for him.


End of Over 17: 68-4, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=9.48 (380-1)
Hook 9-1-30-3
Siyabonga* 29 (37 balls)
Weerappuli 18 (24 balls)
Last Wicket: Fordham lbw b. Hogg 1 (FOW: 37/4)

Edit: Pullers gone. Macca's in now, and really is my last bastion of defence. If he can hang around with Siya to get us past 100 I'll be happy. Mind you, Benji is supposed to be able to hold his bat, but thus far has been a big disappointment.

Naylor	 8 (30 balls)

What a gun

EDIT:

End of Over 25: 118-4, runrate=4.72, reqrunrate=4.28 (224-10)

End of Over 25: 118-2, runrate=4.72

If it wanst for the wickets, i would say this is fairly even, need Hiller to bat through.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

End of Over 24: 107-4, runrate=4.46, reqrunrate=4.54 (224-10)
Pryde	7-1-42-0
Hiller*	59 (60 balls)
Naylor	8 (30 balls)

Game in the balance here.
