16.1 Nakia to Karnezis_13, He's absolutely NAILED that one, but the man in the deep makes a fantastic save, pushing the ball back in just in time! His teammate picks up the ball and hurls it in and they save a run, good teamwork. (7) (Editors note this represents 3 runs by the batsmen and 4 overthrows.) THIS IS NOT GROUNDS FOR A RE-SIM!!!
