Cw Xi 6/117

0.1 Eshan to Pickup... LOUD SHOUT! Not out says the umpire as Pickup padded that away!
0.2 to Pickup... SLOG SWEEP! FOUR!!! What a shot!!!
0.3 to Pickup... the forward defence and the pose for the cameras!
0.4 to Pickup... left alone watchfully.
0.5 to Pickup... pulls bat inside the line. Entertaining stuff!
0.6 to Pickup... he goes for the sweep! Misses it and it's collected by the 'keeper.

Pickup is looking very focusses right now.

BOWLED'M! Pickup's batsman's dream comes to an end!

He gave himself room there and looked to wallop Eshan over the longon ropes. If he had made contact, that would have flown all the way to the non-striker's end. As it is, he's on his way!

Young fast bowler to the middle. He's exposing his mullet, as he's come out without any headgear!

Dave Watt
RHB
OD Average: 9.25

He's going for it! High and back!!! Piranha runs around... GONE!!!

0 fours/sixes

Well it's $2 to charity, but a silly shot really. The CW XI blushes continue... it's 8/129.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Now the big Chris Broadbent takes his place. He'll be the first to laugh at his batting prowess, but he'll need to give Robbins some sort of support here today.

Chris Broadbent
RHB
OD Average: 9.00

0.6 to Broadbent... leading edge! It lands in no-man's land at extra cover and a run taken.

**CWBCC Donation**

The CWBCC would like to announce that we will match whatever is raised in addition to an individual donation.

 

[marc71178]

de Groot and Ramprakash don't yet know they donated a week's wages...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Berry True: Well trust the rain to ruin a great position for the underdogs.

Martin Tufnel: Yes, Berry. The BanglaCricket XI can feel very hard done by this as it does not look good for further play. To recap, the Cricket Web XI won the toss and chose to bat first. Two wickets fell in the first over and the score was 9/134 when the rains came.

We'll be back after a few commercial messages.

Daily Blast TV Update

Miraculously, the rain has cleared! The outfield is still soggy and the skies are overcast, but the teams have arranged to restart.

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.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Berry True: The pitch has been freshened up and the lights are on full blast. This may well get interesting.

We head to the middle where the players are ready to go.
