35.2 W Tandel to Allen : [stumped] Superb guile and technique there from Tandel. He drew Allen down the wicket with a slow flighted ball which held its line, beat the outside edge and Hussain finished it off with a smart stumping. H. Allen st A. Hussain b. D. Tandel 181 (112b 13x4 5x6) SR:161.61 f...k that.. 19 runs short :/

Guneratne 25 (14b) End of over 50 (7 runs) - Unstoppable Indians(448-5) RR 8.96 Massive score & not against the bot this time One highlight here: Oslen was in complete mood of destruction.. He got out..look at the strike rate 47.6 W Bandara to Olsen : [catch] Olsen has gone for a massive swipe, but has only managed to toe the ball in the air straight to Arsalan at mid-on. M. Olsen c A. Arsalan b. A. Bandara 67 (25b 10x4 2x6) SR:268.00

C. Mathison 6-1-21-3, H. Garnaut 21 (41b), B. Sarmad 0 (4b) End of over 36 (maiden) - Halla bol(138-8) RR 3.83 sticky/windy. Keeper still in. anything over 150 will be tricky
Ali to Essien : That's plumb! Essien is checking the edge of his bat as if to indicate that he got something on it, but the replays show he was nowhere near it. Off you go son!M. Essien lbw b. K. Ali 26 (37b 2x4 0x6) SR:70.27 Two to go. They need 30 more.

Ishant Pathan Crushes the opponent line up 5 ver I. Pathan 7-0-19-5, R. Brown 1 (2b), W. Schultz 4 (7b) End of over 22 (1 run) - the rockers(61-8) RR 2.77 My team have played 2 matches & won 2 with nrr of +7.0526 & heading towards 3rd big win
It's only a bot though Dot balls... nerve wracking now they have 3 to win. EDIT: 2 to win now EDIT2: Level. Even worse.
49.1.Nijman to Higgs : [great fielding] Driven superbly by Higgs but Selvi is very quick to stop the ball, the batsmen expected a boundary and miss their chance of a run. 49.2.Nijman to Higgs : Good line and length. Higgs not sure whether to leave or play at it, ends up starting to play and then leaves, nicks the outside edge but lands in front of first slip. 49.3WNijman to Higgs : [catch] Afternoon tea time! Jaffa of a ball there from Nijman, moving away from Higgs at the last moment. It wasn't there to be nibbled at and it stuck like jam to Selvi's hands. A shame for Higgs but that's the way the cookie crumbles...W. Higgs c A. Selvi b. R.

Really need another seam bowler as Hansberry isn't really good enough yet. So very tempting despite shitness: http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=368322
