The new ball is due and Fulminia have asked for it. However umpire Hugh Jarse has denied their request, implying that they don't need to waste a new seed on these bunnies. KBLT kicks the ground in disgust and walks back to the start of his run up.

80.1 KBLT to Kasprowicz, no run, Left alone by Kasprowicz
80.2 KBLT to Kasprowicz, FOUR, What a blunder by Ocha905. He gave away 4 runs with that misfield
80.3 KBLT to Kasprowicz, no run, Kasprowicz was completely deceived
80.4 KBLT to Kasprowicz, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman
80.5 KBLT to Kasprowicz, OUT, That didnt look so convincing but the umpire gives it out LBW

The tail is already wagging more than what it did in the game I got the team from so that's not a good sign.

McGrath 0(2b)

Fulminia have bowled the '97ers out for 291, giving them a very handy 143 run lead heading into the second innings. Gralin & HinkleysHeroes were the best of the bowlers with three wickets each, while Ian Healy's 49 at over a run a ball probably the pick of the Aussies. spudmaster & Dinsdale are off to pad up, let's see how they go on a wearing pitch.

Fulminia have a 231 run lead with 8 wickets in hand after a middle session which saw them wrap up the '97er tail and then score 88 runs at 4.2 an over for the loss of Dinsdale & moginie. We'll be back with the third session of day 3 once I get my kids to stop crying about the Australian batting collapse.

 

[moginie]

once I get my kids to stop crying about the Australian batting collapse.

Your kids and I have something in common.

 

[moginie]

To be fair, it's been excellent bowling by the Indians.

I'm trying to be magnanimous but I'm finding it a bit difficult. I think I'll have another beer.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Was it the dropped chance that pulled you back into your shell or the comparison to Bradman? Dinsdale

13.5 Young to Dinsdale, FOUR, Who needs Bradman when weve got Dinsdale

OK I've put a brick through the TV so the kids are entertained with a trip to JB Hi-Fi. Time for the third session. McGrath to bowl to spudmaster who's on 48. Has the tea break calmed his nerves?

It's that time of the year when quaffing skills are highly appreciated.

Young made a big mess of that simple chance. Can't bowl, can't throw, can't catch.

And it's only through fantasy-style cricket that he is remembered.
