The captain will bowl the second over.

1.1 Ljp86 to Blacky, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there. (2)
1.2 Ljp86 to Blacky, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, who fires a throw back in immediately. The batsmen try to scramble through for a single, but they're caught short! Brilliant fielding, and a wicket for the fielding side!

Blacky run out (wce_all_da_way)
Runs : 4 Balls : 4 S/R : 100

Blacky's short stay at the crease comes to an end.

Your fault, Blacky. Bad call.
 
2.1 Covvy to JT_the_Man, 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)
2.2 Covvy to JT_the_Man, Oooh, he's not going to be a happy man after that dismissal. His partner called him through for a suicidal single there! If I were his partner, I'd stay far, far away...

JT_the_Man run out (Ljp86)
Runs : 7 Balls : 5 S/R : 140


Second run out caused by Ant Bear...
 
WFL comes in. He's gonna be cautious with his running between the wickets. I think.

2.3 Covvy to WFL, Good shot, bad placement. Won't get a run for that. (0)
2.4 Covvy to WFL, No shot offered. (0)
2.5 Covvy to WFL, Wide full toss, the batsman slashes at it and gets four more through point! Poor bowling. (4)
2.6 Covvy to WFL, EDGED AND TAKE...DROPPED! The keeper drops it! A simple chance and he fluffs it! Single. (1)

What an eventful first three overs, these have been.
 
3.1 Ljp86 to WFL, Down the track, and BOOM! Six Runs! Great batting! (6)
3.2 Ljp86 to WFL, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single (1)
3.3 Ljp86 to Ant Bear, 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)
3.4 Ljp86 to Ant Bear, Paddled away for a six! What an outrageous shot! The batsman is all smiles after pulling that one off! (6)

3.5 Ljp86 to Ant Bear, Slog-sweep time! He swings, and misses! Clean bowled. Aw shucks.

5.6 Ljp86 to Power Raid, He's skied it, too high, there's a fielder coming under it, takes it comfortably!

6.2 larrikin to WFL, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run. (0)
6.3 larrikin to WFL, Buffet bowling, the batsman helps himself to four more. (4)
6.4 larrikin to WFL, Good length delivery on the stumps, the batsman just leans forward and drives it past mid-on for four more. Lovely shot. (4)

6.5 larrikin to WFL, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single. (1)

9.4 larrikin to WFL, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single. (1)
