I remember years ago my mates were at a Richmond Tigers game (AFL reference sorry non Australians) (pre Dustin martin and winning premierships - you know when they always finished 9th and no one cared about them). They told me about this Richmond supporter head to toe in black and yellow, truest of true believers. This guy he left at 3/4 time and he just yelled out loud “capitulate, capitulate, that’s all you lads know how to do, capitulate”.
Now I’m not saying that’s all we know how to do....
But we do love to capitulate, in complete control of the chase, lose our heads and lose the game once again.
End of over 10 (4 runs) - UAE(72-1). 54 runs required from 10 overs. RR 7.20 RRR 5.40
I. Saad 23 (21b), J. Ghayth 48 (38b), D. Clark (rf) 2-0-10-0
Fantastic!
End of over 16 (2 runs) - UAE(102-5). 24 runs required from 4 overs. RR 6.38 RRR 6.00
K. Aziz 0 (3b), G. Ka'im 11 (9b), R. Thunder (rfm) 3-0-20-1
Now I’m panicking!
End of over 17 (maiden) - UAE(102-8). 24 runs required from 3 overs. RR 6.00 RRR 8.00
K. Wajih 0 (1b), K. Aziz 0 (3b), I. Newton (lf) 3-1-15-4
Sir Isaac Newton takes a triple maiden and roots our chase completely.
End of over 20 (1 run) - UAE(122-10). 4 runs required from 0 overs. RR 6.10 RRR 0.00
I. Alim 1 (1b), R. Thunder (rfm) 3.3-0-21-3
Tour Match # 3
VS
Result:
win by 3 runs The Match in a tweet: CAPITULATE, CAPITULATE, CAPITULATE!
Man of the Match: Isaac Newton
Our best: Mu’adh Khaleel - 2/16 off 4 overs including a maiden. He got Scotland’s number 2 and number 3!
Google tells me “Khaleel” translates roughly to “friend”. And boy oh boy if khaleel bowls like this he will be my very best friend. Let’s just remember he’s only 25! Very excite!
Imtiyaz Alim - 2/23 off his 4 overs. Bowled well.
Jaul Ghayth - 48 and his 68 run partnership with Saad had us looking in control. Would have been nice to see Jaul bat a little deeper.
Tune in at 1530 as we take on South Africa and look to salvage something from this tour.
Trust in the process
