End of Over 50: 314-9, runrate=6.28
Bennie 9-0-61-5
Laws* 2 (2 balls)
0 (1 balls)
49.5 1 Bennie to Laws
Played away onto the leg side.
49.4 b1 Bennie to Mpumelele
Plays and misses, and Ghandi just fails to get his hands on it. The ball trickles off for one bye.
49.3 W Bennie to Shackell
After some obvious confusion by Shackell, he realizes its the death rattle and the umpire sends him off. Now we wait for Ghandi to find the bails..
49.2 1 Bennie to Laws
Driven to the left of mid on and Siyabonga makes a leaping stop. Good fielding as he ran ten yards before throwing himself full stretch to grab the ball.
49.1 W Bennie to Breedt
No footwork from Breedt, big nick through to Ghandi. Breedt walks without waiting for the umpire's finger.
End of Over 49: 311-7, runrate=6.35, reqrunrate=3.00 (313-4)
Mills 10-0-60-4
Breedt* 2 (2 balls)
Shackell 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Bruce b. Mills 0 (FOW: 311/7)
48.6 W Mills to Bruce
A lovely slower ball from Mills has made Bruce look like a proper buffoon. He played at that about a week early.
48.5 W Mills to Stonebridge
The ball struck Stonebridge in line and after a moment to consider where the ball pitched, the umpire raised the finger. Out!
48.5 nb1 Mills to Breedt
no ball, Forward, played out to mid on for the single.
48.4 1 Mills to Stonebridge
Flicked around to the region of deep backward square for the single.
48.3 1 Mills to Breedt
Solid stroke down to long on.
48.2 W Mills to Connor
Edged and gone. He's walked before the umpire has raised his finger. That was a beauty.
48.1 1 Mills to Stonebridge
Quick running and an easy single is taken.
End of Over 48: 306-4, runrate=6.38, reqrunrate=4.00 (313-4)
Bennie 9-0-59-3
Stonebridge* 133 (139 balls)
Connor 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Ricketts c. Ghandi b. Bennie 4 (FOW: 306/4)
47.6 W Bennie to Ricketts
There's a loud appeal from both Bennie and Ghandi. Ricketts is suggesting that it flicked his shirt but the umpire sends him on his way.
47.5 4 Bennie to Ricketts
Fantastic shot . Upper cut over the keeper, audacious!
47.4 W Bennie to Parr
If Parr had two bats, he wouldn't have gotten to that. Mischief and mayhem from Bennie there.
especially given that Savage, a worth/worth batsmen, survived more deliveries than my all of my Specialist bats, and only 2 made double figures. Groves & Meyer bowled well enough it seems, shame they didn't have a target to bowl at though. Given that Canning & Tedstone went relatively cheaply another 70-80 runs might've given me a slight chance.
if i lose this, im going to be VERY upset.
