BanglaCricket XI v CricketWeb XI

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Bc Xi 0/22

BOWLED! One down. The Cricket Web XI have made their first breakthrough at the very least. That was full, straight and Rahman played around it.

Asif Rahman b Watt 13 (15)
0 fours/sixes

It's 1/32.

He won't face a ball in this over.

52 needed off 96.

Liam Camps is the new bowler. He'll bowl off a short run.

He's in to Unknown...

0.1 to Unknown... BEATEN! Fishing at a wide one there.
0.2 to Unknown... defended to point. No run.
0.3 to Unknown... EDGED!!! HELD! Caught at 2nd gully. Lovely bit of bowling and 2 are down!

Well the captain's in now with his team a little bit shaky. He did a good job with the ball, so he'll look to do the same with the bat here...

E Eshan
RHB
OD Average: 43.00

0.4 to Eshan... no run. Defended to midon.
0.5 to Eshan... driven through the covers. It's well struck, but won't make the ropes due to the moisture of the outfield. He'll get 3.
0.6 to Mueid... BEATEN! Length and nipping away. Lovely.

49 off 90...

we will be doing this tough i think

Bc Xi 2/35

Dave Watt (7th) - 0,1,1,0,0,1

Liam Camps (8th) - 1,3,0,0,0,3

Dave Watt is out of the attack. He makes way for Neil Pickup as spin comes on in the 9th over. This should be interesting.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Bc Xi 2/49

0.1 Pickup to Eshan... no run. Pushed forward and it spun past his bat.
0.2 Pickup to Eshan... played with the spin into the gap in the covers for a single.
0.3 Pickup to Mueid... paddled for a single.
0.4 Pickup to Eshan... defended to short leg.
0.5 Pickup to Eshan... flicked away for a single.
0.6 Pickup to Eshan... down the track and driven for a single to long off.

Decent start, but it's wickets that are needed.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Marc Robbins to toil his medium pacers...

0.1 to Mueid... Poorly lined! Flicked for FOUR!
0.2 to Mueid... pushed to midon. No run.
0.3 to Mueid... wide ball called. Great take by Ashley.
0.3 to Mueid... driven straight! Beautiful for another FOUR - $25,000.
0.4 to Mueid... defended to cover.
0.5 to Mueid... pushed to cover again.
0.6 to Mueid... pushed to midoff and a run taken against Pickup, who has slipped and fallen. Oh dear!

Pickup (11th) - 0,3,0,0,0,4

It's now just 18 needed off 10 overs.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Bc Xi 2/66

Watt is back for his 5th and final over.

Desperation for a wicket now...

0.1 to Mueid... left alone calmly.
0.2 to Mueid... clipped for a single to long leg.
0.3 to Eshan... edged along to ground to 1st slip.
0.4 to Eshan... pushed to Pickup for another single! He looks totally distracted. You'd think he were focussing of Harry Potter or something ridiculous like that.
0.5 to Mueid... short and pulled for FOUR! Thunderous!
0.6 to Mueid... pushed into the midwicket gap for 1.

11 needed now. 9 overs remain.

Neil Pickup (13th) - 0,lb,0,0,1,0

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Bc Xi 2/75

Well now it's all in good fun, because Goff has brought himself on to bowl. However, he'll be tossing some left-arm leggies up there as opposed to his right arm seam up.

Brendon Goff (14th) - 1,0,1,1,1,1

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Bc Xi 2/80

Just 4 runs needed now to win by the D/L method. 7 overs left...

0.1 Pickup to Mueid... SHORT! Cracked for FOUR past point! Terrific quickness there. That's it. The 50 partnership and the win!

The BanglaCricket XI have reached the required 84 to win in just 14.1 overs.

M Mueid 25* (22)
3 fours, 0 sixes

E Eshan 24* (30)
2 fours, 0 sixes

Neil Pickup 3.1-0-16-0

The rain hampered this game severely, but overall it was a pleasant atmosphere and nicely finished. Much credit to all involved and all who donated.

Thanks to everyone watching and we'll be back for the wrapup later.

We've lost a fair bit of time, so we'll see the D/L into play.

It's 8:45 pm. The Cricket Web XI innings will be halted where it stands and the BanglaCricket XI will be asked to chase 84 runs from 21 overs.

Doesn't D/L take wickets fallen into equation?

Final Bank:

Runs = $294,000
Ducks = $6
Wickets = $22,000
Fours = $300,000
just the one six = $50,000
Donation = $200,000 (The public added a small total to round it up and make it easier for me to tally )

Total = $866,006

Total when matched by CWBCC = $1,732,012

Unforetunatley, half of the overs were lost to rain. So that run count couldn't rise any more.

It was taken into consideration.
