****atoos v West Robbham - Commentary

Mr Mxyzptlk

Request Your Custom Title Now!
****atoos have won the toss and will bat first against the inconsistent Rabid Wolves bowling. It should be a cracking match.

0.1 Gough to Robertson, 2 runs, On the legs straight away and clipped past midwicket for 2 runs.
0.2 Gough to Robertson, 0 runs, Much better. Just outside offstump and left alone.
0.3 Gough to Robertson, FOUR, Oh dear! That was short and down the legside and helped on it's way to fine leg.
0.4 Gough to Robertson, 0 runs, Bang on target. Defended off the back foot.
0.5 Gough to Robertson, 1 run, EDGED! Just past 2nd slip and fielded by third man.
0.6 Gough to Dauth, FOUR, Stand and deliver! He just stayed rooted to the crease and smashed that past mid-off. Great shot.

End of over 1 (11 runs) - ****atoos 11/0
JA Robertson 7* (5b) KJ Gough 1-0-11-0
RJ Dauth 4* (1b)

1.1 Raghav to Robertson, 2 runs, Full and some swing for Raghav. Robertson looked to drive and the ball squirted off the outside edge and flew past gully. It's 2 runs, but a close shave.
1.2 Raghav to Robertson, 0 runs, Some swing again, as Robertson watched it carefully and left it alone.
1.3 Raghav to Robertson, 0 runs, Full and straight and defended back down the wicket.
1.4 Raghav to Robertson, 2 runs, He strayed on the pads that time and Robertson took advantage with a nice on-drive. It was chased well by Gough and he pulled it back to save 2.
1.5 Raghav to Robertson, FOUR, Shot boy! Great straight drive and there's no saving that one! Four runs!
1.6 Raghav to Robertson, 1 run, Guided to third man for a single.

End of over 2 (9 runs) - ****atoos 20/0
JA Robertson 16* (11b) SV Raghav 1-0-9-0
RJ Dauth 4* (1b)

2.1 Gough to Dauth, FOUR, Two balls and two fours for Dauth. Short and wide this time and he just helps it over the slips. It's fine enough to beat third man. Great touch.
2.2 Gough to Dauth, 0 runs, Much tighter and Dauth can't do anything but push to cover.
2.3 Gough to Dauth, 1 run, A firm drive down the ground, but a desperate dive by mid-off keeps it to 1 run.
2.4 Gough to Robertson, 0 runs, On a good length and he pushed to cover.
2.5 Gough to Robertson, 0 runs, Short ball! That zipped past his nose as he rocked back to avoid it.
2.6 Gough to Robertson, 0 runs, Cut hard but straight hard into the ground and to the man in the gully. No run.

End of over 3 (5 runs) - ****atoos 25/0
JA Robertson 16* (14b) KJ Gough 2-0-16-0
RJ Dauth 9* (4b)

3.1 Raghav to Dauth, FOUR, Lofted back overhead for four. Stand and deliver again. Dauth showing that footwork is overrated there.
3.2 Raghav to Dauth, 1 run, Pulled around the corner but straight to long leg. A single.
3.3 Raghav to Robertson, 1 run, Flicked to long leg. Raghav straying to legstump.
3.4 Raghav to Dauth, FOUR, Another one! Pitched up by Raghav and clubbed just out of the reach of Gough at mid-off.
3.5 Raghav to Dauth, 1 run, Short and fended to the legside. The batsmen take a single.
3.6 Raghav to Robertson, 2 runs, A lovely straight drive and the batsmen rush through for 2 runs.

End of over 4 (13 runs) - ****atoos 38/0
JA Robertson 19* (16b) SV Raghav 2-0-22-0
RJ Dauth 19* (8b)

Here's Kieron Pollard into the attack. Medium pace to replace pace with ****atoos off to a good start.
4.1 Pollard to Dauth, 2 runs, A poor start, slipping down the legside. Dauth just tickled it around the corner and the batsmen pushed hard for 2 runs.
4.2 Pollard to Dauth, 0 runs, Nice line and length and defended.
4.3 Pollard to Dauth, 0 runs, A bit outside offstump and Dauth left it through to the 'keeper.
4.4 Pollard to Dauth, FOUR, On the pads again and Dauth put it away with a flourish.
4.5 Pollard to Dauth, 0 runs, Pollard followed up with a slower ball that Dauth just pushed back down the pitch.
4.6 Pollard to Dauth, 1 run, Dauth on the back foot and late cutting it wide of backward point for a single.

End of over 5 (7 runs) - ****atoos 45/0

Excellent start by Dauth. Robertson looking solid as he has throughout the tournament. Hoping he can push on a make a big score here.

Up the ****s!

The first sight of spin...
5.1 Richards to Dauth, 1 run, On offstump and Dauth pushed it just to the left of cover for a single.
5.2 Richards to Robertson, 0 runs, The left-armer starts well. Flat and on offstump and defended back to the bowler.
5.3 Richards to Robertson, FOUR, There's the improvisation! A reverse sweep by Robertson that flies away to the boundary for four.
5.4 Richards to Robertson, 0 runs, Some flight from Richards, but Robertson takes care and watches it turn past.
5.5 Richards to Robertson, SIX, More flight and this time Robertson went for it. It only just cleared Rai back at long-off. Very lucky for Robertson, but ****atoos race along.
5.6 Richards to Robertson, OUT, That's a poor shot to go to. Robertson had just hit six and went for another one over midwicket. But he didn't get under it and Sam Morris pulled down a good catch at midwicket. Crucial breakthrough for Rabid Wolves.

End of over 6 (11 runs) - ****atoos 56/1
RJ Dauth 27* (15b) DP Richards 1-0-11-1
R Malone 0* (0b)

6.1 Pollard to Dauth, BEATEN!, A bit of bounce there and that surprised Dauth, beating the edge. Encouraging signs for Pollard here.
6.2 Pollard to Dauth, 1 run, Good shot off his hips but straight to the fielder on the ropes. Just 1 run for it.
6.3 Pollard to Malone, 2 runs, Pollard strayed onto the legs again and whipped away for 2 runs. Malone is off the mark. He's a crucial player for ****atoos today.
6.4 Pollard to Malone, 0 runs, Good legcutter and pushed away to cover. No run.
6.5 Pollard to Malone, 1 run, Short and on offstump, and Malone rides the bounce to get a single to the left of short third man.
6.6 Pollard to Dauth, 0 runs, There's the bounce again. Defended off the back foot.

End of over 7 (4 runs) - ****atoos 60/1
RJ Dauth 28* (18b) KA Pollard 2-0-11-0
R Malone 3* (3b)

7.1 Richards to Malone, 1 run, Short and wide and Malone cut it hard, but picked out the sweeper on the cover boundary.
7.2 Richards to Dauth, 0 runs, Much tighter. Richards flighted it and almost turned it past the bat.
7.3 Richards to Dauth, 0 runs, Hit hard this time, but directly to the man at mid-off.
7.4 Richards to Dauth, 1 run, Dauth got down on one knee and paddle the ball around the corner, then Dauth called him through for a quick single. Well run.
7.5 Richards to Malone, BEATEN!, A big heave and a miss. Richards has a big smile on his face. He's trumped Malone there.
7.6 Richards to Malone, 1 run, Smashed back toward the bowler and Richards had to dive full stretch to field the ball. He looks to have injured himself in the process. Richards is grabbing his side and here comes the physio. It looks like Richards is heading off. This could be a big loss for Rabid Wolves.

End of over 8 (2 runs) - ****atoos 62/1
RJ Dauth 29* (21b) DP Richards 2-0-12-1

Pollard continues...
8.1 Pollard to Malone, 0 runs, Tight on offstump and worked to the man at short midwicket. Good captaincy to have the man there.
8.2 Pollard to Malone, 1 run, Driven down the ground, but there's a man at long-off and he kept it to a single.
8.3 Pollard to Dauth, FOUR, Good shot by Dauth! He was starting to look a bit anxious, but some improvisation released the pressure there. He just went up and over short fine leg with a scooping shot.
8.4 Pollard to Dauth, 2 runs, Overcompensation from the bowler and it's full and wide. Dauth had to stretch to reach it, but he beat the infield and got 2 for it.
8.5 Pollard to Dauth, 0 runs, Bang on target again. Defended.
8.6 Pollard to Dauth, 1 run, Driven hard to cover and they steal a very quick single. The throw just missed, but the batsman would have been safe anyway.

End of over 9 (8 runs) - ****atoos 70/1
RJ Dauth 36* (25b) KA Pollard 3-0-19-0
R Malone 5* (9b)

Gough turns to Bennett to replace the injured Richards. The second member of the much hyped Trip of Rip.
9.1 Bennett to Dauth, 3 runs, Short straight away and Dauth cut it behind point. Read ran hard in the chase and just pulled it back, but the batsmen run exceptionally to get 3.
9.2 Bennett to Malone, SIX, There he goes. Malone didn't waste any time there. He received a low full toss and took toll of it by swinging it into the stands.
9.3 Bennett to Malone, 0 runs, Good comeback. That was 67mph and fired into the toes of the batsman. Great thinking by Bennett.
9.4 Bennett to Malone, FOUR, Bennett tried for the same ball again but it drifted down legside and Malone flicked it away fine. A welcome boundary.
9.5 Bennett to Malone, OUT, Bowled'm! Dragged down short but it skidded through and beat Malone's pull shot. Bowled comprehensively.

8+ an over and Richards hurt. Not a good start here. Though we do bat very deep. Hopefully Richards can hold a stick

Pollard is a beautiful man. Without him the RR would be going way out of control.

Would be confident of chasing down 170. Anything above that could go either way

Morris is into the attack...
10.1 Morris to de Bruyn, 1 run, Swept away for a single. Good solid shot.
10.2 Morris to Dauth, 0 runs, That was a bit short but Dauth couldn't beat backward point with his cut shot.
10.3 Morris to Dauth, FOUR, Another short ball, but Dauth was keen to this one. Great contact and placement to beat the sweeper.
10.4 Morris to Dauth, 0 runs, A bit of turn there and Dauth got a leading edge. It dropped just short of the bowler in his follow through.
10.5 Morris to Dauth, 1 run, Good strike rotation. He dropped the ball into the legside and ran through for a quick run.
10.6 Morris to de Bruyn, 0 runs, Bang on target and defended.

Kev Gough brings himself back on...
11.1 Gough to Dauth, 0 runs, That climbed into him and he swayed out of the way. Great stuff.
11.2 Gough to Dauth, 0 runs, Yorker this time and he defended.
11.3 Gough to Dauth, FOUR, Another short ball, but Dauth was keen to it. That hook shot looked almost premeditated and was struck very cleanly.
11.4 Gough to Dauth, 0 runs, Zipped back in and cut him in half. Some seam movement for Gough there and Dauth had no answer.
11.5 Gough to Dauth, OUT, What a beauty! The ball cut back in late and cannoned into the front pad. That's a hint of reverse swing and a big wicket.

12.1 Morris to Kearsley, 2 runs, On the legs and he whipped it away for 2. Kearsley truly looks like a man in form.
12.2 Morris to Kearlsey, 2 runs, Again Morris was on the legstump and again Kearsley worked it away for 2 more runs.
12.3 Morris to Kearlsey, 0 runs, Much better and pushed to short extra cover.
12.4 Morris to Kearsley, FOUR, Too short this time and he paid the price. The batsman cut it past Read at backward point and there was no saving it.
12.5 Morris to Kearsley, 1 run, Down the track and he drove it to long-off for 1.
12.6 Morris to de Bruyn, 1 run, Good shot for 1 run. He swept that from offstump with some power, but straight to the man on the ropes.

13.1 Bennett to Kearsley, 2 runs, That's quick and flat again Kearsley just helped it fine for 2 runs.
13.2 Bennett to Kearsley, 0 runs, Fired into the toes and blocked out. Bennett fielded the ball and had some words for Kearsley.
13.3 Bennett to Kearsley, 1 run, A bit of width offered and hit cut the ball to the sweeper. A single.
13.4 Bennett to de Bruyn, 0 runs, He can't do much with that. It's in the blockhole at 68mph, off just a couple of paces. Extraordinary.
13.5 Bennett to de Bruyn, 1 run, Punched off the back foot to the man at long-off.
13.6 Bennett to Kearsley, BEATEN!, Some flight and Kearsley was beaten by the lack of pace. He went for the slog sweep way too early there.

14.2 Morris to de Bruyn, 0 runs, Hard hit but brilliantly at short midwicket. That's the spirit that Rabid Wolves need to maintain to keep the pressure on.
14.3 Morris to de Bruyn, 0 runs, Short and cut, but he couldn't beat short third man.
14.4 Morris to de Bruyn, FOUR, A rank long hop this time and he pulled it over the short midwicket and it beat the man on the boundary.

15.1 Bennett to de Bruyn, BEATEN!, 65mph and beating the outside edge. Bennett is loving this.
15.2 Bennett to de Bruyn, 2 runs, Good improvisation. He stepped across his stumps and worked the ball past short fine leg to get 2 runs.
15.3 Bennett to de Bruyn, 2 runs, Bennett offered some width and de Bruyn slapped the ball past cover. They applied some excellent pressure by running hard and got back for a second run.
15.4 Bennett to de Bruyn, 1 run, de Bruyn late cut for a quick single.
15.5 Bennett to Kearsley, 1 run, He hit that hard back down the ground, but Bennett got a hand to it. He probably saved 3 runs there.
15.6 Bennett to de Bruyn, OUT, Brilliant work by Mørk. Bennett continues to mix things up and he reaped the rewards. That was a flighted delivery and de Bruyn ran straight past it, then Mørk grabbed the ball and pulled off the stumping in a flash.

Morris is out of the attack after a couple of expensive openers. And Raghav returns to the attack with ****atoos looking to get a move on.
16.1 Raghav to Kearsley, 1 run, Whipped off his pads for a single. De Silva did a good job running in off the midwicket boundary.
16.2 Raghav to Raftery, 3 run, He's on the pads and that's gone really fine. They get back for a 3rd.
16.3 Raghav to Kearlsey, 0 runs, Hit back to the bowler.
16.4 Raghav to Kearlsey, DROPPED!, He went for the drive and hit it low to short extra cover. Scott couldn't quite hang on to the ball, but he recovered quickly enough to stop a single.
16.5 Raghav to Kearsley, FOUR, That's frustration from Raghav. He dragged the ball down and Kearsley had the ball sit up for the pull shot. Four more.
16.6 Raghav to Kearsley, 2 runs, A firm push down the ground and they ran hard for 2.

17.2 Bennett to Kearlsey, 1 run, On the pads this time but Kearsley coudn't beat short fine leg. It's a great bit of fielding but it can't stop the single.
17.3 Bennett to Raftery, 0 runs, Flat and quick and hit to short midwicket.
17.4 Bennett to Raftery, 0 runs, Bennett fired the ball into his toes and he could only dig it out with a straight bat.
17.5 Bennett to Raftery, BEATEN!, A prod by Raftery and it zips past the edge. Lovely bowling.
17.6 Bennett to Raftery, 1 run, Raftery was on the back foot there and he guided it to the right of short third man. They ran through for a single, but more urgency is needed, surely.

18.1 Gough to Raftery, 1 run, Just a single. Driven from middle stump to the fielder on the cover fence.
18.2 Gough to Kearsley, SIX, BANG! Gough tried for yorker and Kearsley slammed it over long-off. Huge one!
18.3 Gough to Kearsley, 1 run, An excellent yorker, and Kearsley hits it straight for a single.
18.4 Gough to Raftery, noball, SIX, Brilliance! That yorker didn't miss by much, but it was enough for Raftery to clear long-on. It's a noball too. A free hit for Raftery. ****atoos could really use it right about now.
18.4 Gough to Raftery, FOUR, Raftery gave himself room but the ball took the edge and flew down to the third man fence for four. Important runs, these.
18.5 Gough to Raftery, 3 run, Much In the blockhole again but he somehow squeezed it past legstump and managed to get three runs.
18.6 Gough to Kearsley, OUT, And Gough lets out a yell of frustration. It's a big wicket, but it ends a very expensive over.

19.2 Raghav to Raftery, OUT, Great catch! Ben Read at backward point went one-handed to his high right to pull off an excellent catch. Raftery was sure he had a boundary there.

19.5 Raghav to Ritchie, 1 run, Full and straight and Ritchie can't get under it. Just the single again. This is a clinic by Raghav in death bowling. Can he finish it off?
19.6 Raghav to Mamesh, 1 run, Yes he can. Superb bowling by Raghav and he's limited ****atoos to 6 runs from the final over. They've got to settle for 167.

Gutted, that 18th over may come back to haunt us. Bennett showing good character after his first over to come back and bowl that well. Still, I reckon we can chase this if we play to our potential. Fingers crossed

Rabid Wolves are facing a potentially tricky run chase, but they boast the most celebrated batting lineup in the Cup, so we could be in for a cracking finale to this semi-final.

Zander de Bruyn will get things going...
0.1 de Bruyn to Scott, FOUR, Great start! Full and a bit of swing, but Scott just drove through the line and picked up the first boundary for Rabid Wolves.
0.2 de Bruyn to Scott, 2 runs, Another bold drive but Robertson chased well and pulled it back. 2 runs.
0.3 de Bruyn to Scott, 1 run, A bit straighter this time, so Scott works it away for a single.
0.4 de Bruyn to Rai, FOUR, BANG! Short and wide and goodbye! Rai not wasting any time.
0.5 de Bruyn to Rai, FOUR, He brings the square drive to the party now. No joy for de Bruyn right now.
0.6 de Bruyn to Rai, 0 runs, On target this time and the first defensive shot.

End of over 1 (15 runs) - Rabid Wolves 15/0 (153 needed from 114 balls)
NG Scott 7* (3) Z de Bruyn 1-0-15-0
DK Rai 8* (3)

1.1 Wright to Scott, OUT, Another failure for Scott. But he couldn't do much about this one. Wright bowled that perfectly. It swung in off a full length and sent offstump reeling. Lovely stuff.

NG Scott b Wright 7 (4)
Partnership 15 (NG Scott 7, DK Rai 8)
Rabid Wolves 15/1 (1.1 overs)

1.3 Wright to Read, 0 runs, Again outside offstump and again left alone.
1.4 Wright to Read, BEATEN, Wonderful! That pitched on offstump and swung away and Read was beaten all ends up.
1.5 Wright to Read, FOUR, Another beauty, but that took the edge and raced down to the vacant third man.
1.6 Wright to Read, 0 runs, A bit wide this time and he left it alone.

2.3 de Bruyn to Rai, BEATEN!, Slightly short and Rai tried to cut, but missed the ball by a few inches.
2.4 de Bruyn to Rai, 0 runs, Pushed to cover, but there's no room for a single.
2.5 de Bruyn to Rai, 1 legbye, A stifled appeal, but it was high and heading down the legside. They took a legbye.

Interesting move here. Wright bowled a great first over, but he's being replaced by Bichel for the third.

3.3 Bichel to Mørk, 0 runs, He's on offstump again and again Mørk shuffled into line and defends.
3.4 Bichel to Mørk, 0 runs, a bit of width this time, but he just let it go past.
3.5 Bichel to Mørk, FOUR, What a shot! Flicked off his toes and it raced away to the square leg boundary. The fielder was 10 feet away when he played the shot and he had no chance.
3.6 Bichel to Mørk, 1 run, Tucked off the hip for a single.

4.2 de Bruyn to Mørk, FOUR, Lofted back overhead! Wonderful shot. Mørk means business it seems.
4.3 de Bruyn to Mørk, 0 runs, Back into shape with the forward defensive. A good tight line by de Bruyn and Mørk not hurried to carelessness.
4.4 de Bruyn to Mørk, 1 run, Pushed into the covers and they sprinted a single. Excellent communication.
4.5 de Bruyn to Read, FOUR, Short and wide and BANG! He hit it in the air, but wide of the gully for four.
4.6 de Bruyn to Read, FOUR, Overcompensation by de Bruyn and it's full and wide and dispatched with a beautiful square drive. Read on the go now.
