Crocodiles desperately need a wicket, and they could've got one if that anonymous fielder hadn't dropped that catch.
 
4.1 eth-dog to Jeremias, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single. (1)
4.2 eth-dog to DemonJim, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? YES HE DOES! Out!!!

DemonJim c princey b eth-dog
Runs : 30 Balls : 16 S/R : 187.5

That's the wicket they wanted, that's the wicket they got.
 
The next batsman in is Hatchy1992.

4.3 eth-dog to Hatchy1992, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky! (4)
4.4 eth-dog to Hatchy1992, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one. (1)
4.5 eth-dog to Jeremias, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two. (2)

5.3 princey to Jeremias, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and top edges it high into the air. It's an easy catch in the end, and hopefully the batsman has learnt why you shouldn't slog across the line!

Jeremias c eth-dog b princey
Runs : 21 Balls : 14 S/R : 150

The second opener is out too! Two new batsman are in, and the power play is almost over. Could this be the turning point of the match?

The next man in is MoOP.

5.4 princey to MoOP, 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)
5.5 princey to MoOP, The batsman goes for the big heave-ho, and connects fantastically! Six! (6)
5.6 princey to MoOP, Edged and through the vacant gully region for four! And just after the captained had removed a man from there! Don't you just hate it when that happens? (4)

6.5 Willo_ to Hatchy1992, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call. (0)
6.6 Willo_ to Hatchy1992, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective. (4)
