High Roding v marks marvels (30342922)

Welcome to The Meadow for the match between High Roding and marks marvels.

We can tell you that marks marvels won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a cracker! Hard and fast - should be a run-fest out there on this sunny day.

Let's join our team for ball-by-ball commentary.


4.2 1Whalley to Gall
  A low full toss and it's swung away towards deep square leg. Gall didn't really get hold of that and will just pick up the one run.
4.1 WWhalley to Eastwood
  Got him! Played on. Shortish ball on middle and off - Eastwood didn't account for the inswing, it takes the inside edge and crashes into leg stump.

End of Over 4: 22-2, runrate=5.50, reqrunrate=12.13 (215-2)
Richards 2-0-16-2
Eastwood* 5 (6 balls)
Benton 4 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Perfect c & b. Richards 2 (FOW: 18/2)
3.6 4Richards to Benton
  Sublime late cut from Benton, his movement was balletic there. All the way along the ground to third man for four.
3.5 WRichards to Perfect
  Well that's done Perfect all ends up. Richards bowls the top spinner, the batsman doesn't pick it and gets a leading edge trying to work it to the on side. Really clever piece of bowling and a simple catch in the end.
3.4 .Richards to Perfect
  Nicely floated up on off stump, looks to play it to leg but it straightens so he adjusts to defend back to Richards.
3.3 .Richards to Perfect
  Richards clearly likes the look of this pitch, and gets one to turn out of a small foothole near the batsman. Perfect is wise to it though and manages to defend.
3.2 1Richards to Eastwood
  Too short, Eastwood reads the spin and nudges it through midwicket.
3.1 .Richards to Eastwood
  Slippery devil that Richards. Eastwood was in all sorts of trouble; nearly played on there. Eastwood looks very relieved to have kept his wicket.

End of Over 3: 17-1, runrate=5.67, reqrunrate=11.71 (215-2)
Bambatha 2-0-3-0
Eastwood* 4 (4 balls)
Perfect 2 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Akhtar b. Richards 7 (FOW: 10/1)
2.6 .Bambatha to Perfect
  A big appeal there, yet the Battrick snickometer says it didn't touch. Great technology these days, it really improves the quality of the games.
2.5 .Bambatha to Perfect
  That's a beauty from Bambatha, a full delivery that lured Perfect into the drive. Big LBW appeal, but the umpire reckons that was just going over the top. Good shout that, and Hawk-Eye says so too.
2.4 b1Bambatha to Eastwood
  Terrible ball, terrible shot and terrible keeping. The batsmen steal a quick single.
2.3 1Bambatha to Perfect
  Drop and run by Perfect and Eastwood. Clever cricket.
2.2 .Bambatha to Perfect
  Played all along the ground out to midwicket. No run.
2.1 .Bambatha to Perfect
  That would have been a freak dismissal, Perfect sees a ball on the leg stump, looks for an easy four but misses and the ball almost rolls onto the stumps off the thigh pad. Actually Bambatha is luckier there, that really should have been four.

End of Over 2: 15-1, runrate=7.50, reqrunrate=11.17 (215-2)
Richards 1-0-11-1
Perfect* 1 (4 balls)
Eastwood 4 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Akhtar b. Richards 7 (FOW: 10/1)
1.6 .Richards to Eastwood
  Oh...thought we had a break in play...did they cross? Doesn't look like it. Dot in the book.
1.5 .Richards to Eastwood
  Eastwood is watchful and allows this to go through to the keeper. There was just enough turn there to make it risky to play a shot.
1.4 4Richards to Eastwood
  Caressing the ball through the covers, much as Monet himself might have caressed canvas, Eastwood adds four runs to his score.
1.4 wdRichards to Eastwood
  That's a beautiful ball. Too bad it was a mile down leg. Wide!
1.3 WRichards to Akhtar
  Bowled between bat and pad! I understand Akhtar is a country lad; he should know better than to go leaving the gate wide open.
1.2 6Richards to Akhtar
  Akhtar takes two steps down the pitch, and smacks it straight down the ground for six. A couple of spectators collide in trying to catch the ball.
1.1 .Richards to Akhtar
  Fired down the leg side looking for the stumping. Akhtar was wise to it and got his pads in the way.

End of Over 1: 4-0, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=11.16 (215-2)
Bambatha 1-0-2-0
Akhtar* 1 (2 balls)
Perfect 1 (4 balls)
