NT League Matches

[Philly]

I'd want more on a hard wicket.

A well earned drink. I'm a bit concerned that Gilbert will be knackered for the rest of the tour.

End of over 25 (9 runs) - USA(170-1) RR 6.80
D. Nieuwoudt (lfm) 5-0-49-0, G. Melton 77 (77b), C. Kline 87 (76b)

Yeah, would have much preferred Melton to have got out for 0 and Rios on 77 not out.

Yeah ticking along nicely now

What sort if score you think you need? About 330?

I reckon 330 would be good but it's difficult to contain batsmen on this pitch so I'd prefer 350+.

[Philly]

Bravo for Christian on his NT debut

That is 100 runs for Kline (101 runs, 86b, 5x4, 4x6) SR:117.44
27.6 3 Stockley to Kline : Didn't read the spin at all, but he got enough of a nick on it to wrong-foot Gessner and it runs down to third man for 3.

[spark]

Yes, well done Kline. And Melton has also got his highest score.

[Philly]

Kline falls. Hopefully the others can continue the momentum.

[Philly]

Shame. So close to his first ever century.

32.3 W Blignaut to Melton : Quick on the leg stump, going straight on, Melton looks to play to the on side, misses the line of the ball and gets hit on the pad in line with the leg stump. A loud appeal from everybody and the umpire lifts his finger.G. Melton lbw b. H. Blignaut 88 (94b 4x4 1x6) SR:93.62

Still, probably good that he puts his feet up before bowling.

[Philly]

A good win. 330 wouldn't have been enough
