Montreal Tigers vs Winnipeg Hawks, 2nd Match, Round 1

WPH
All
19.4
6
Siddle to Miller, SIX, the other end of the pitch, but just as effective. Bends his back leg, clears his front and dispatches it more towards long-on now
19.3
6
Siddle to Miller, SIX, misses his length by a centimeter short. Manages to get under, decent wood on the lofted swing, flat into long-off
18
6
Cooper to Miller, SIX, swipes across, swatting it uppishly into cow corner. Oh this is getting bad to watch, very, very predictable
17.5
4
Cooper to Miller, FOUR, smack in his hitting range. Goes straight down, deflects off Cooper's arm, but that isn't enough either to cut off the momentum this has
17.4
4
Cooper to Miller, FOUR, very inside-halved. Swats a glance off the legs behind square. Surely not the right line to be bowling with nobody in the deep
17.2
W
Cooper to Ben McDermott, out Caught by Henriques!! Holes out. Can't get the elevation for a change, can't get under the ball for a change and finds long-off. Cooper floats it full on middle, McDermott makes it worse with his dance down, hence denying the room to clear the man out there .. and Moises is one of the safest ones. Ben McDermott c Henriques b Cooper 68(46) [4s-7 6s-1]
17
4
Narine to Ben McDermott, FOUR, uppish loft. Goes through with a bat swing, smoking it into long-on, one-bounced
16.4
4
Narine to Ben McDermott, FOUR, keeps backing in the crease. Nails the cut, waiting on the ball to get close to cut it behind point
15.2
W
Malinga to Darren Bravo, out Bowled!! It required all of Malinga's experience to come back in getting rid of this partnership. He knows Bravo would back away, keeps it dead straight and watches him swing over the dipping yorker. Darren Bravo b Malinga 54(29) [4s-3 6s-5]
14.5
F
Narine to Darren Bravo, SIX, more fun. Narine gets it slightly fuller, and Bravo waits under it to pummell it several rows into long-on. And this is good enough to lose another ball -- it's his fifty meanwhile
14
6
Nurse to Darren Bravo, SIX, never mind the miscued top-edge, it's got enough legs. Bravo sits, sweeps airly, but still gets it flying over deep square leg
13.5
6
Nurse to Darren Bravo, SIX, another ball goes missing. Nurse keeps dishing out the length in Bravo's arc .. and yes, it's into the car park behind long-off. Watch the car insurance
13.2
6
Nurse to Darren Bravo, SIX, high full toss. Bravo brings out a slice now, with an almighty bat swing to launch it into the long-off tree
12.3
F
Siddle to Ben McDermott, no ball, FOUR, lets out a juicy full toss. And to make it all the more criminal oversteps. McDermott's big backlift is put to good use, going through the line and into the sightscreen
11.4
4
Nurse to Darren Bravo, FOUR, goes straight down. Nurse overcompensates with a length just too full and Bravo hoicks, clearing his front leg, widening his arc and smashing it into long-on
11.2
6
Nurse to Darren Bravo, SIX, ball lost - his whacking has been that clean. Gets a toss up in his slot, gets on a knee and smokes it into cow corner
9
4
Dwayne Smith to Darren Bravo, FOUR, that was played nicely. Pitched on a full length outside off, Bravo opens the face very late and runs it down to third man.
8.3
Dwayne Smith to Ben McDermott, 1 run, a direct hit would have made things interesting. Was a short delivery outside off as McDermott mistimed his back foot punch to cover. Gets to the bowler's end as the shy misses
8.1
4
Dwayne Smith to Darren Bravo, FOUR, loosener to start off. Full and down the leg side, Bravo knows the fielder at short fine leg is inside the circle and he just needs to get his flick past him. Does it with ease in the end
7.4
W
Worker to Simmons, out Bowled!! Second bowled dismissal of the day. This was full and wide outside off, Simmons tries to reach for it with a flashy drive and ends up playing it onto stumps. Entertaining cameo by the opener, nevertheless. Simmons b Worker 36(24) [4s-4 6s-2]
7.3
4
Worker to Simmons, FOUR, the late-cut by Simmons. Flat and quick delivery aimed at the middle-stump. The batsman is quick to rock back and cut it through the gap at backward point and short third man. Beats the fielder's chase quite comfortably
5.4
4
Malinga to Ben McDermott, FOUR, a Yuvi-like short arm jab. Fullish in length and swinging away. Right near the crease as McDermott chips it with ease over the bowler's head. Straight as an arrow!
4.5
4
Cooper to Ben McDermott, FOUR, another wasted delivery! Down the leg side as Ben McDermott glances it away. Easy pickings
4.3
4
Cooper to Ben McDermott, FOUR, knuckle ball gone wrong. Cooper has bowled three freebies to start off. This was a full toss on the pads, Ben McDermott flicks it away through square leg and gets four more. The fielder was moved towards mid-wicket only a ball before. Playing nicely with the field is the batsman
4.2
6
Cooper to Ben McDermott, SIX, the same script like yesterday! Turning out to be a graveyard for the bowlers once again. A full length delivery on middle and leg, Ben McDermott stays put and flicks it with nonchalance over square leg
4.1
4
Cooper to Ben McDermott, FOUR, moves towards the off-stump and pulls the short delivery through mid-wicket. The fielder is too square to cut this down
3.3
4
Narine to Simmons, FOUR, slam bam! Pitched up on off, the seam up delivery. Simmons makes room and whacks it past mid-off. Away to the fence in a jiffy
3
4
Siddle to Simmons, FOUR, flicked away! A full toss on the pads and can't get any easier for the West Indian as he flicks it away through the gap at mid-wicket. 17 off the over!
2.5
6
Siddle to Simmons, SIX, successive sixes for him! This was a touch short around off, Simmons went for a pull and got a fat top-edge that flew over the keeper's head. Carries all the way for a maximum
2.4
6
Siddle to Simmons, SIX, this is what he was trying to do. Finally gets hold of one. Shimmies down the wicket and clubs the length delivery into the orbit. Over the mid-wicket fence for half a dozen
1.1
W
Malinga to Warner, out Bowled!! He's still got it in him! Slinga Malinga, it is. Gets a wicket right on the first delivery and it's a big fish. Bowls it on a length and extracts some swing straightaway. Beats Warner's defence and goes through to take down the sticks. Warner gives him a smile but he's to walk back. Warner b Malinga 1(2)
0.4

Siddle to Simmons, FOUR, first one of the match! Gotta see a lot of them yesterday. This was pitched on a full length and Simmons was forward quickly to drill it past the bowler to get off the mark
