betcha they were getting *frustrated*!!

[petehosk]

19 for 9 and then unable to get that last wicket! The frustration must have been immense!!

[Manormanic]

unless they lobbed up a few to give their batsmen something to chase? 

not what I'd do mind...

[petehosk]

I reckon they would have done that a couple of wickets earlier if they would have wanted that! Plus they only knocked the runs off when their number 7 and 8 bat put on a bit of a partnership, so they must of still needed 50+ with 5 or 6 wickets down! That would have worried most teams with their top 6 batsmen out and just the tail to chase them down! 

[Manormanic]

an interesting game to have taken part in either way!

can you imagine if the other lot had WON from 19/9? 

[petehosk]

That would have been incredible!! To win from that position didn't happen on that occasion, but has anyone heard of any team winning from a similar position?

Don't have a link (we aren't that tekkers up here in central QLD!) but in this years final We were rolled for 101...thought we were done and dusted when the oppo was 2/48 from 26 overs. Enter our 16 year old superstar and they went from 2/48 to 9/49!!! A cheeky run out to finish the game and get them all out for 70...best win I've been a part of!

I'm not sure what this is saying about our top order batting!

[tim2000s]

Our seconds defended 78 ao a couple of weeks back...

[uknsaunders]

Defended 44 at Crossgates in 2008. Bowled them out for 41. Track wasn't great lol

[petehosk]

Blimey! It just shows you that anything is defendable!!!
Some quality scorecards there 

[Manormanic]

defended 71 at ICI Paints in 2001 - I was the only person to make double figures in the match from what I recall.  A few years ago for the CS side we had a wierd one - we lost three wickets in the first over and two in the second then totalled 229, our opening bowler was on a hat trick the fourth ball of their reply...

...and they knocked them off two down... 

[petehosk]

Actually we were on tour in essex in 2009 and had a bit of a strange game!
We batted first and were 3 for 3 off 3 overs!!
We then recovered with both bats hitting a ton, one of which was arounf 140!
So we went from 3-3 to 230-3 (or more!) and won that game.

peteH - reminds me of a story told by Bill Tallon, bro of legendary wicketkeeper Don - Bill was a leggie.
it went something like: 'We decided to start with my spin and and I flighted a good 'un down to their number one, our Don pouched it and they were 1 for 3 which brought in Bradman. I drew their number 2 forward in my next over, our Don stumped him and they were 2 for 6. The prize was when I did Bradman with a wrong un and our Don caught him - 3 for 335!'

I like that! Classic story and shows the class of the best Test batsman ever!
