Super 50 semi final 2: Jamaica v HPC

[mikesiva]

WICKET! Brooks c Russell b Brown 20 slog/sweep down the throat of deep mid-wicket; HPC 82/5 (24.6)

[BallOil]

Bowl im....Miller bowled Dowrich for 6. Permaul the new batsman

84/6

[mikesiva]

I'm hoping they can reach 230, i believe that score would be very defendable and the Jamaican's would have to work hard to get that total.

WICKET! Dowrich b Miller 6 played back to a well-pitched arm ball that may have kept a little low; HPC 84/6 (25.6 ovs)

[BallOil]

Brown send Holder back to the bench LBW for 0

84/7 100 looks difficult here for HPC

[mikesiva]

WICKET! Holder lbw b Brown 0 playing defensively forward ; HPC 84/7 (26.5 ovs)

0-0-0-0-wkt-0
HPC 84/7 (27th over, Brown)
Cottoy 0*, Permaul 0*
HPC won the toss
Wicket maiden!

[mikesiva]

29.1 Russell to Cottoy, 6 runs, lofted over long-off from a no-ball free hit

[BallOil]

100/7 after 30 overs

Just looking at the top order reveals the problem, THE TOP ORDER ONLY HAS THREE PROPER BATTERS, for a start they are missing Powell which is a problem..and they are playing Thomas instead of Creary for some odd reason, lets look at the team today..

Chandrika (ok decent opener)
Corbin (usually comes in at three, talented batter)
Thomas (wicket keeper who's batting was garbage for WI at the world cup)
Bonner (a bowling alrounder)
Brooks (decent batter)
Dowrich (wicket-keeper)
Holder (bowler who can bat a little)
Gabriel (not a batter or any note)
Cottoy (ok with the bat i hear)
Permaul (he's ok aswell but nothing special)
Bess (nothing special)

So is it any wonder that they've found it tough today? i hope the next batch is much more balanced, you can't have just have three batters and expect to win many matches.

Permaul and Cottoy need to mek dis game lil competitive by hook or crook...107/7 off 33
