Apologies for the long delay folks. Nothing like an early morning game, right?


Simon Qatich: Welcome, qricket fans, to the highly anticipated clash between the Red Centre Kangaroos and the Northern Phoenix. After hours of technical difficulties, the Roos’ openers are finally strolling out onto the ground.
Dirq Nannes: This should be a ripper, Qato. Ant Bear and Cloud_ are having a chat on the pitch about something and the heavily Phoenix-leaning crowd aren’t happy about it.
Qato: Thanks, Dirq, it looks like spookism is lining up to take the new ball and - oh dear, a member of the crowd has thrown a drink on DemonJim
Dirq: Gotta love the qricket Qato. Here we go. Spookism from over the wicket.

0.1 spookism to Ant Bear, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover. (1)
0.2 spookism to Cloud_, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time. (6)

711752

Qato: Oh he’s cracked the digital advertising board. The ground staff won’t be happy about that.

0.3 spookism to Cloud_, 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)
0.4 spookism to Cloud_, 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)
0.5 spookism to Ant Bear, (0) Fantastic slower ball, the batsman swings twice and still misses it, and is caught plumb in front!

Dirq: brahj is on a hat-trick! Oh dear, the Roos are in deep trouble at the moment. Out strolls roo2macca to face the hat-trick ball.
Qato: If he gets this, I’ll eat my microphone

1.4 brahj to roo2macca, (0) Bah, that was poor umpiring. Pitched outside leg, going over the top, and an inside edge! That's what you get for sleeping with the umpire's wife!

Qato: ****! *microphone cuts out*
Dirq: My word, brahj has done it! What a bowling display from the young player… can someone get Qato a new mic?

1.5 brahj to Tony Lynn 15, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though. (1)
1.6 brahj to Cloud_, 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)

2.1 spookism to Tony Lynn 15, 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)
2.2 spookism to Tony Lynn 15, What an audacious shot! Uppercut up and over third man for six! Incredible! (6)

711744

2.3 spookism to Tony Lynn 15, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs. (2)
2.4 spookism to Tony Lynn 15, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run. (0)
2.5 spookism to Tony Lynn 15, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment! (0)
2.6 spookism to Tony Lynn 15, Uppercut over the slip fielders and away for four! Cheeky shot! (4)

3.1 brahj to Tony Lynn 15, That's a single. (1)
3.2 brahj to Cloud_, 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)
3.3 brahj to Cloud_, , Leg Byes, another 1 run(s) (1)
3.4 brahj to Cloud_, 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)
3.5 brahj to Tony Lynn 15, Slog-sweep time! He's executed that quite well too, and...yes, it's six! Nice job son! (6)

4.1 spookism to Cloud_, Very well bowled. (0)
4.2 spookism to Cloud_, (0) And that's why you should always know where your back foot is. The batsman left that ball alone, completely oblivious to the fact that he was standing out of his crease, and the keeper removes the bails while laughing. His coach is going to give him an earful after that!

Qato: I have no idea what just happened, but it wasn't a good look for Cloud_. The Roos are in all sorts! The Phoenix are putting on an absolute clinic right now. You could learn a thing or two from them, Dirq.

4.3 spookism to Headless, 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)

4.5 spookism to Tony Lynn 15, Very well bowled. (0)
4.6 spookism to Tony Lynn 15, 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)

6.5 Noobz0r to Headless, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)

Qato: Wha- uh, I, uh, yes, an excellent bowling display so far.
 
10.1 Noobz0r to Headless, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is. (4)

Dirq: Still twenty to thirty runs short, I’d say
Qato: All will be revealed soon. Righteo, I’m off to get smashed. Dirq will be back after the break with Riqqy Ponting.
 
Riqqy Ponting: I dunno, Dirq, I think you’re gonna need a cream for it. Wh-
Dirq: Ahem! And we’re back! Riqqy Ponting joins me in the box for the first time this season. G’day, Riqqy. How’d you rate the batting performance of the roos?
Riqqy: Evening, Dirq. Well, what is there to say about that? Middling would be apt. WFL is lining up after a chat with his keeper. The Filth Wizard to face.
