SOD Match They were this... End of over 35 (2 runs) - Big Sticks(181-5). 21 runs required from 15 overs. RR 5.17 RRR 1.40 A. Ur-Rehman 37 (58b), S. Sajjad 14 (25b), G. Brown 6-1-27-1 Then to this! End of over 36 (2 runs) - Big Sticks(183-7). 19 runs required from 14 overs. RR 5.08 RRR 1.36 R. Maqsood 0 (0b), A. Ur-Rehman 38 (59b), P. Huckett 7-0-39-1 Then This! End of over 38 (1 run) - Big Sticks(188-8). 14 runs required from 12 overs. RR 4.95 RRR 1.17 A. Ur-Rehman 41 (67b), J. Ali 0 (1b), P. Huckett 8-1-39-2 Then this happens... 38.3 . Brown to J. Ali : [dropped] Simply dreadful fielding! Reverse paddle from J. Ali and it sailed ever so gently to Huckett at deep gully and he drops an absolute dolly. Brown is crestfallen and kicks the turf in frustration. Then the frustration over... 39.1 W Paquette to Ur-Rehman : [catch] Gone! Sharp bouncer from Paquette and it nicks the glove on the way through, Carty makes no mistake and the umpire raises a pudgy finger. J. Ali consoles Ur-Rehman. A near unplayable delivery. A. Ur-Rehman c B. Carty b. C. Paquette 41 (68b 4x4 0x6) SR:60.29 39.2 2 Paquette to Baig : [dropped] Dug in short and Baig skies a pull shot. Carty runs back, gets to the ball, but drops a tough chance. 39.3 1 Paquette to Baig : Flicked off the pads by Baig and an early call by J. Ali, sees one more added to the total. 39.4 1 Paquette to J. Ali : Good delivery by Paquette. The batsman does well to play it on the on-side and take a single. 39.5 . Paquette to Baig : [dropped] Candappa has dropped a dolly at cover! Even my mother would have caught that! 39.6 2 Paquette to Baig : Fast, full and straight from Paquette, but hardly any movement through the air or off the pitch and he's easily tapped onto the leg side. End of over 40 (6 runs) - Big Sticks(194-9). 8 runs required from 10 overs. RR 4.85 RRR 0.80 N. Baig 5 (4b), J. Ali 1 (8b), C. Paquette 9-1-40-2
40.1 W Terry to J. Ali : [catch] In the zone outside the off stump, from a length and J. Ali seems to be in trance and just pokes at it. Fatal edge. He slams his bat into his pads as he walks off, furious with himself. He's really marching back to the pavilion now. J. Ali c B. Carty b. W. Terry 1 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR:11.11 End of over 41 (maiden) - Big Sticks(194-10). 8 runs required from 9 overs. RR 4.73 RRR 0.89 N. Baig 5 (4b), W. Terry 7.1-1-15-3 !

No idea, most of the games were about 10,000 crowds but I'm not sure if you get more money the further you make it i.e by higher ticket prices. Fatigue is ok as I'm throwing this match so playing mostly youths, and seniors I want to get more experience. But I lost my league game on Friday because I didn't field my strongest line-up so I will be concentrating on that from now on. I've a good chance of promotion in the OD comp so that's my focus from here.
