40.6 [B]W[/B] Brooker to Knight 
   [B][COLOR="Red"] He's gone for the big hit but has been caught on the boundary! [/COLOR][/B]
40.5 . Brooker to Knight 
    Bit of extra pace there I think. Knight leaves it alone. 
40.4 . Brooker to Knight 
    Quick delivery, nipped away, bit of lift, left for Gonasilan to field. 
40.3 . Brooker to Knight 
    Wide of off, cut straight to backward point. 
40.2 [B]W[/B] Brooker to Gaskin 
    [COLOR="red"][B]He's gone for the big heave, but it's gone way up in the air. Curtis gets himself underneath it and pockets the chance with glee. Out! [/B][/COLOR]
40.1 [B]W[/B] Brooker to Nicholl 
    [COLOR="red"][B]Gone! Good ball on the stumps, Nicholl trying to defend to the on side, misses the line of the ball and gets hit on the pad in line with the stumps. A loud appeal and given. [/B][/COLOR]

Now very large favourite

 

[Mahindinho]

Indeed, given the way the match has gone so far and that the pitch is obviously bowler friendly (it's actually green in case you missed what I said earlier) I'd make Mahindinho slight favourite (unless your death bowlers are crap).

Last time I checked, only 3 wickets had fallen - 129/4 was much healthier, and now it's 134/7 off 41!

Brooker (attacking superb/qual FM) has just come on and managed a triple-wicket maiden!

Last two bowlers are Brooker and Gibb (defensive strong FM), so I reckon I'm back on top.

This game's bloody brilliant - I'm going to have to buy Allan a few pints when I next see him!

Magloire's hit the stamina wall, so i need him to get out sharpish to have any chance

100 off 10 overs might make things exciting with 8 in hand.

Ah, I see. Still, as long as you're within 100 runs at the 40-over mark with 7 or 8 wickets in hand, it's going to be very interesting...I look forward to the updates!

Brooker's just got another to leave them 142/9 after 43. Some people are on the pitch...

 

[superkingdave]

Well Magloire obliged and we're 180-2 after 35. Need 126 off 15 at 8.40

 

[superkingdave]

Webster hits 2 sixes and 4 in his last 3 balls faced, keeping it close. 204-2 after 37.3

Looks like you'll probably get to under 100 off 10, which is gettable on a high scoring pitch, if you get it under 90 off 10 it would make it much more likely.

Still after your opponent's collapse...

 

[PY]

What've you fed Webster Dav?

 

[Mahindinho]

Brooker's just got another to leave them 142/9 after 43. Some people are on the pitch...

...and Gibb pulls off a stunning caught & bowled to bag the last. 143ao, so that's a 43-run win for me

Phew!

Looks as though it's over to superkingdave for the rest of the afternoon's entertainment...

EDIT: Thanks for all the updates, guys. Muchly appreciated.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I'm 210-0 off 39 chasing 275, should cruise that, so back to Lancashire's game like everyone else.

 

[superkingdave]

88 needed off the last 10

 

[superkingdave]

88 needed off the last 10. 79 off 9 but Abdul Kadir gets out, will struggle now

 

[superkingdave]

should have GFI'd, 73 of 8

 

[PY]

Big 43rd over though, 8.7 rpo required.

You just need one guy to stay around.

 

[superkingdave]

just 4 off the 44th and 6 off the 45th pushes the RRR over 10....Webster then hits the first 2 balls of the 46th for 4

 

[superkingdave]

Webster = :

17 off the 46th

 

[superkingdave]

gah, Webster gone for 68 from 42. 30 needed off 22

 

[PY]

What the hecks gone wrong in the 47th.....

 

[superkingdave]

276-3 to 276-7 in 4 balls
