NA Borcich		9-1-36-1
SA Bennett		2-0-15-0
MJ Robbins		6-3-19-1
3.1 No, we couldn't go four overs without a wicket. Pitt's edged that to Dauth, out for 5.
7.4 Nayak thumps Watt for his second boundary in three balls.
9.1 Feeney's dropped it! Gary Nayak lives on, currently on 18
9.6 Good start from the Colts here. They've already cut a sixth off the target.
14.3 First fifty partnership of the match, would you believe. Nayak goes onto 39 not out, great knock so far.
17.5 Half-century for Gary Nayak, drives Borcich for successive boundaries just before tea.

Colts need 137 to win, Reds need 9 wickets.

Evening session:

18.1 Ooh! Umpire turns down that appeal, it looked close to me. Borcich starting well here.
21.4 Robbins does the trick! Dolly of a return catch is easily held, Malthus-Howell departs for 20, but Colts only need 123 to win from here.
22.2 Two in a row! Borcich bowls a good length, it bounces off the seam and hits Nayak on the pad, lovely delivery, Nayak stands there as he's gone for 63
22.4 Top edge...Mørk strains for it but only gets his fingertips to it! Jasotharan survives on his second ball! Cracking bowling from Borcich, however
22.5 Jasotharan off the mark with a single.
22.6 Towns off the mark, edges the ball to point and gets a single.
23.6 You could sense the tension between Robbins and Towns in that over. Maiden over, but both wanted to attack the other.
24.6 Eight off the over so far...and Mørk drops it again! Jasotharan gets a second reprieve, and you just can't do that to this man.
30.1 Mørk's dropped Jasotharan for the third time! Is he trying too hard?

33.2 Dobson's turn to drop now, Towns on 15. The Reds are feeling pressure once again.
34.4 Towns whips Kennett for SIX.
35.1 Jasotharan slashes...SIX over deep midwicket.
35.6 Fourteen off Bennett's over.
36.2 They're just having fun now. Another SIX from Towns.
38.3 Jasotharan slashes...it's gone over cover...Bennett jumps up and holds it! Out for 45, but is it too late?
43.5 Second boundary of this over, Towns onto 41 and the Colts past 200. 26 left to get for victory.
48.6 Single off Borcich does it, Towns has his half-century.
50.1 That's in, the half-century partnership and a six-wicket win. Well played Colts, dared to attack in the second innings and it paid off.

Cricket Web Green v Cricket Web Black
at CWBCC Stadium

Ball : The ball is nice and new.
Pitch : A perfect batting pitch with no visible cracks.
Bounce : High bounce. Just what the fast bowlers want.

Code:

*AJ Garven	RA Langley
Bharanidharan	CB Benjamin

Won't do this as detailed, since there aren't as many green-blacks around at present.

Code:
Sajith		lbw		b Benjamin		1
Scott		c Smith		b Richards		62
Lezama		c Richards	b Warwick		0 
Malone		lbw		b Warwick		62
Gaukroger	c Smith		b Warwick		2

Extras							18

Total							194 ao (54 ovs)

Langley		1-0-2-0
Benjamin	10-2-34-1
Warwick		11-1-49-3
Pickup		15-2-33-1
Roberts		7-1-35-3
Richards	10-2-28-2
4.6 After wickets fell in the second (Sajith) and third (Lezama) over, Malone and Scott have taken it upon them to score runs here. 15 off the last two overs.
6.3 Warwick to Malone - huge shot! That's gone into the third row on this big stadium! Malone moves onto 17 off 14.
11.4 Half-century partnership up for Green.
19.6 Things have slowed down a little bit here with the introduction of the spinners.
21.6 Two boundaries off Roberts takes Malone to 50.
30.3 Finally the breakthrough! Warwick has been very expensive today but gets Malone, so everything is all right.
31.5 Today's unlucky number is 62. Scott slices the ball to Smith, Richards has his first wicket, and could be in for a long bowling spell now.
32.1 Warwick gets a third! Gaukroger fails to play that one properly.
39.3 Richards gets that one to turn miles...and that's close! Umpire says out after much deliberation - think that was caught behind.
40.1 Pickup brings himself on - and removes the opposing captain.
51.2 Second over for Roberts in this spell...here he comes...got him! Warwick holds on to the catch and Green seem to be struggling.
53.6 Roberts is on a hat-trick here after removing Weber and Mitchell. We'll see how that goes in the second innings, however Black has to bat first.

Black 1st innings:

Code:
Fitzsimmons	lbw		b Mitchell		75
Smith		c Lezama	b Mitchell		171
Jones		c Gaukroger	b Popat			116

Mitchell                45     3  159   3    1  0
Cameron                 41     6  139   4    4  1
Weber                   35     4   91   0    0  1

Malone                  23     6   61   2    0  0
4.6 Fitzsimmons and Smith have certainly attacked before tea
11.6 Spinner introduced early, and nearly gets a wicket - but Popat can't hold on to the catch off Weber
28.6 Slow cricket in the evening session, Black batting to retain control of the game.
32.4 Another dropped catch, this time Mitchell off Cameron.
39.6 Stumps are drawn. Black trail by 64 with all ten wickets in hand.
44.4 Umpire turns that down. Wasn't really close.
45.4 Mitchell has his first wicket! Fitzsimmons is lbw there, no doubt about it, and gone for 75.
50.4 Garven drops that one! Not instilling confidence in his bowler there...
59.3 A rare boundary here. Smith drives through the covers.
73.6 Lunchtime - Black aren't scoring quickly, but they are scoring, and they are well in control at present.
74.4 Smith brings up his maiden first class century with a nudge down to third man.
74.6 Gaukroger then drops Smith two balls later.
79.6 New ball taken.
88.1 Smith dropped again, on 126 off Mitchell by Gaukroger.
95.3 Half-century for Jones.
105.6 Tea time with no further wicket, Black seem content with just barraging on.
107.3 150 for Smith.
108.6 Smith dropped again, by Cameron off Garven - this time on 152.
112.5 200-run partnership up.
114.6 Century for Jones, who has really let himself loose after tea. His first century this season.
118.2 Jones hoiks Mitchell - and that's SIX.
118.6 Seventeen runs off this over. Black are toying with Green at present.
121.2 A long anticipated turnup for Geren - Jones is caught at the wicket for 116.
122.6 Someone finally takes responsibility and holds Smith - out for 171. A crucial maiden century, nevertheless, and the ground applauds him.
130.1 Cameron comes back for his umpteenth spell, and with the first ball he gets Dubb-Lynch caught in the slips.
137.6 Over 100 runs post lunch, and Black will be looking for a massive total here. It's still only stumps on day two.
139.4 Langley fails to add to his overnight score, as he inside edges Cameron for 16.
139.5 Cameron on a hat-trick here.
139.6 Warwick plays and misses.
140.6 Malone's turn to get wickets - Warwick goes for a second-ball duck, Richards for a first-ball one.
148.5 Blackman hogging the strike very well here - it does entail the occasional drop, though.
154.4 Half-century partnership.
156.3 Blackman inside edges - nevertheless a highly entertaining 72. What can Roberts and Pickup do?
158.5 Mitchell to Pickup...he hoiks...SIX. That sums up the match accurately.
159.6 Second new ball taken.
163.6 Cameron shatters Pickup's stumps. All out for 521, a lead of 327.

Roberts		8.4-1-35-3
0.6 Lunchtime. Green need to bat for a couple of days here.
1.3 And then Sajith gets bowled by Benjamin. Seven-ball duck.
8.1 Scott is dropped by Fitzsimmons on 14
8.2 Warwick bowls, Scott hoiks again...this time to Langley who holds on to the catch. Two down after just 8.2 overs, and it's looking very, very tough for Green.
11.4 Roberts in the deep hangs onto the ball from Lezama - another man dismissed for a sub-20 score
27.4 A good partnership was about to be formed between Malone and Gaukroger, but Richards breaks through and has the wicketkeeper caught int he slips.
29.2 Richards gets Malone, and the Greens still need over 200 runs just to make Black bat again.
32.6 Tea, with Garven and Bharanidharan sharing a stand of 14 thus far.
35.5 Bharanidharan smashes Richards straight...it's gone for SIX.
40.5 Warwick to Bharanidharan, short, hooked, SIX! His third boundary of the match, and his second six.
43.2 Pickup is brought on...Bharanidharan attempts a big shot off him, too! Roberts holds on in the covers and he has to walk back for 41.
53.1 Pickup to Garven, Garven charges down the pitch! SIX runs and the captain moves onto 61. Green nearing 200 here.
55.6 Garven deserted by another one - Weber walks back, frustrated with himself and his too attacking strategy. Out for 14.
65.6 Solid ten overs here, Garven has just blocked and is aiming for a century here. Still 101 needed to make Black bat again.
67.4 Fiery over from Roberts so far! That spun right back into the batsman. How was that not lbw?
69.2 Revenge for Roberts. Ball falls safely into the hands of Smith and Garven walks back for 88.
69.4 Second ball duck for Cameron.
69.6 Blackman drops Mitchell. Great over from Roberts here.
72.6 Another Blackman drop.
75.4 Roberts takes matters into his own hands, Cameron is out for 10 and Green have been defeated by an innings and 81 runs.
