The new batter in fitzroybowiedog walks to the crease
17.1 Sab22 to Van_Dyke, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single (1)
17.2 Sab22 to fitzroybowiedog, For all the Americans out there, that's the cricketing equivalent of a Home-Run. Nice stuff. Six. (6)
How about that for your first ball!?!
17.3 Sab22 to fitzroybowiedog, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more! (4)
17.4 Sab22 to fitzroybowiedog, Tucked on the leg side, two more to the total. (2)
17.5 Sab22 to fitzroybowiedog, Short ball, pulled away for four! (4)
17.6 Sab22 to fitzroybowiedog, Swing and a miss. No run. (0)

Hatchy1992 back to round out his overs.
18.1 Hatchy1992 to Van_Dyke, (0) Delicate little late cut, well placed. The batsmen hesitate going for the single...it's a huge mix up...and they end up at the same end! Easy runout, poor, poor running.
Van_Dyke run out nahnah
Runs : 67 Balls : 45 S/R : 148.9
THAT'S MORE LIKE IT GREAT THROW FROM nahnah!

18.2 Hatchy1992 to Shermy, Driven down the ground to long-on, the batsmen get only one (1)
18.3 Hatchy1992 to fitzroybowiedog, , Wide, one run (1)
18.3 Hatchy1992 to fitzroybowiedog, Good running, two runs. (2)
18.4 Hatchy1992 to fitzroybowiedog, (0) Inside edge, and gone! Great bowling, and some loose batting.
fitzroybowiedog b Hatchy1992
Runs : 18 Balls : 7 S/R : 257.1
Another one down the Whales are suddenly looking shaky as the captain walks out to the crease

18.5 Hatchy1992 to iBeng, Down the track, and BOOM! Six Runs! Great batting! (6)
Apologies ignore my previous comments iBeng has made me look like an absolute fool.
18.6 Hatchy1992 to iBeng, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot. (2)

End of over 19
West Coast Whales 214/5 (RR : 11.3)
iBeng 8 (2b)
Shermy 1 (1b)
Hatchy1992 4-0-56-3
Well bowled from Hatchy1992 expensive with 56 runs off him but 3 massive wickets and a great run out also comping from him.
 
The expensive Spanna_ to finish the Whales innings
19.1 Spanna_ to Shermy, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more! (4)
19.2 Spanna_ to Shermy, , Wide, one run (1)
19.2 Spanna_ to Shermy, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run. (0)
19.3 Spanna_ to Shermy, (0) He's hit on the pads, the fielders let out a shout. The umpire has no qualms, and gives him out!
Shermy lbw Spanna_
Runs : 5 Balls : 4 S/R : 125
GOOD AS GOLD! CUTTING THROUGH THE WHALES NOW!
19.4 Spanna_ to Quadzilla, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment! (0)
19.5 Spanna_ to Quadzilla, (0) Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! There is a fielder after it...he's runs hard...and takes the catch! Well done sir!
Quadzilla c Sab22 b Spanna_
Runs : 0 Balls : 2 S/R : 0
A DUCK FOR Quadzilla AS A LATE FIGHTBACK COMES FOR THE BOLTS!

19.6 Spanna_ to eth-dog, He tried to go over the top but doesn't connect well. However, it's placed in the gap the ball trickles away for four. (4)

End of over 20
West Coast Whales 223/7 (RR : 11.1)
eth-dog 4 (1b)
iBeng 8 (2b)
Spanna_ 4-0-46-2

Melbourne Bolts Bowling
The Bolts didn't bowl very well at the start but towards the end tightened it up taking 7 wickets which was overshadowed by the Whales massive total.

There will be an extremely brief intermission whilst I sort out the Bounders B&F (5-10 mins)
 
And the monster chase begins with Cockarfitt opening the batting! The Bolts need 223 at 11.2 runs an over! Lets get this show on the road
0.1 Quadzilla to Nakia, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close. (0)
Oh that was a poor call from the umpire, well out and Quadzilla has been robbed of a wicket.
0.2 Quadzilla to Nakia, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and cracks it up and over midwicket for six! Great shot, tremendous power! (6)
Don't give Cockarfitt a second chance! That's into the second tier. That's how you start a run chase!
0.3 Quadzilla to Nakia, Swing and a miss. No run. (0)
0.4 Quadzilla to Nakia, Tucked to off side, one more. (1)
0.5 Quadzilla to Fizzler, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run. (0)
0.6 Quadzilla to Fizzler, Full and on the toes, the batsman just flicks it past the now-vacant short fine leg region for four runs! The captain is fuming, and it's right after he took the fielder out of there! (4)

Not a terrible start but not quite enough
 
Ljp86 to continue for the Whales
1.1 Ljp86 to Nakia, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves. No run. (0)
1.2 Ljp86 to Nakia, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though. (1)
1.3 Ljp86 to Fizzler, Short ball outside offstump, the batsman rocks back to cut it and sends it up and over point for six! (6)
Massive! He's smiling from ear to ear!
1.4 Ljp86 to Fizzler, That was a very good delivery. (0)
1.5 Ljp86 to Fizzler, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run. (0)
1.6 Ljp86 to Fizzler, Going, Going, Gone! Six Runs! (6)
Rocks onto his back foot and goes bang! That's more like it.

Bolts are on track! This is going to be a cracker!!!!!!!!!
 
Quadzilla takes the ball and looks to slow the fast charging Bolts
2.1 Quadzilla to Nakia, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two. (2)
2.2 Quadzilla to Nakia, No Run, excellent bowling. (0)
2.3 Quadzilla to Nakia, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run. (0)
2.4 Quadzilla to Nakia, The batsman goes for the big heave-ho, and connects fantastically! Six! (6)
IT'S HAPPENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE BOLTS ARE SNEAKING UP ON THE WHALES! MASSIVE FROM Cockarfitt
2.5 Quadzilla to Nakia, Driven for four! (4)
2.6 Quadzilla to Nakia, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though. (1)

AN INSANE OVER FROM Cockarfitt AND THE BOLTS ARE BLITZING THE RRR!
 
A nervous looking Ljp86 takes the ball and chases in
3.1 Ljp86 to Nakia, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more! (4)
COSTLY!!!
3.2 Ljp86 to Nakia, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is. (4)
3.3 Ljp86 to Nakia, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though. (1)
3.4 Ljp86 to Fizzler, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball. (0)
3.5 Ljp86 to Fizzler, Nice. Length ball, clobbered down the ground for six. Superb batting. (6)
3.6 Ljp86 to Fizzler, What an audacious shot! Uppercut up and over third man for six! Incredible! (6)
AND Fizzler TURNS IT UP A NOTCH. Bringing up the team 50 and pulling the run-rate to a massive 14 and a half an over!

Sorry, been a dreadful week, just got here and it looks like i'm doing well here at least! Go Whales!!!
 
Quadzilla looks as if he'd rather recreate the opening to Slumdog millionaire than bowl this over!
4.1 Quadzilla to Nakia, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more. (2)
4.2 Quadzilla to Nakia, Slog-sweep time! He's executed that quite well too, and...yes, it's six! Nice job son! (6)
The Jesus CHRIST! IT'S HAPPENING
4.3 Quadzilla to Nakia, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run. (0)
4.4 Quadzilla to Nakia, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two. (2)
4.5 Quadzilla to Nakia, Good running, two runs. (2)
4.6 Quadzilla to Nakia, Going, Going, Gone! Six Runs! (6)
AGAIN AND NAKIA MOVES TO 48!

iBeng still has faith in Ljp86 so he'll come in for his 3rd over.

5.2 Ljp86 to Nakia, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single (1)
5.3 Ljp86 to Fizzler, Delicate little late cut, well placed. Quick single taken. (1)
