SV Carlisle 6* (21b 1x4) GW Flower 0* (49b)
Grant Flower looks to be continuing where he left off yesterday,
content to stay at the crease at the expense of scoring runs
14.1 O'Connor to Carlisle, one run, scare, thick outside edge, diving
attempt at 2nd slip, got through the fingers somehow
Astle couldn't hold onto that, it was pretty hard chance
14.2 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, inswinger, Grant defends it as usual
14.3 O'Connor to GW Flower, FOUR, off the mark in style, lovely straight
drive, past midoff to the boundary, classy shot

time
14.5 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run
14.6 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, down the off, didn't bother the
batsman, he didn't bother with the delivery

of the groundsmen is on
A rat has been extracted from the field
16.1 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run
16.2 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, defended, good line and length from
O'Connor
16.3 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, turned in sharply, padded up to it,
judged to have pitched outside the off, big shout
16.4 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, bouncer, tries to dent Grant's
helmet, may be telling him to get on with it
16.5 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, Grant replies by paying no attention
to this delivery
16.6 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, turns in again, Grant shoulders
arms, as we've seen him do so often this innings

GW Flower 4* (60b 1x4) SV Carlisle 7* (34b 1x4)
Let's see if Grant can make a dent in O'Connor's great figures
18.1 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, feels content to lat that one go by,
whether these are tactics or a lack of confidence is yet to be
seen
18.2 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run
18.3 O'Connor to GW Flower, one run, scuffed straight drive, barely made
it down the wicket, early call by Grant, counting on Wiseman at
midoff to make an error, paid off
18.4 O'Connor to Carlisle, no run, bowls himself over in the middle of
the track while completing his follow-through, we hope he's okay
18.5 O'Connor to Carlisle, no run, goes for the helmet, evasive
maneuvres by Stuart
18.6 O'Connor to Carlisle, no run, went for the ribs this time, Stuart
had to be on his toes to fend that one off

the last two days

20.3 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, doesn't bother with that one, either
20.4 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, had to play at this one, straight
on, defeds his place in the middle, may be looking to keep it all
day if possible
20.5 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, one wonders when the bowlers are
really going to start attacking these bats, if they have any hope
of evicting from the crease
20.6 O'Connor to GW Flower, no run, great bowl from O'Connor, goes for
him this time, unlucky not to get the lbw decision, may be
straying down the leg side a bit

22.1 O'Connor to Carlisle, no run
22.2 O'Connor to Carlisle, no run, half-hearted attempt at a stroke, in
danger of falling prey to Parore's catching abilities, or even
Spearman's
22.3 O'Connor to Carlisle, no run, looks to leave it, but it turns so
sharply that he tried a late stroke when the ball was already
past, could have been bowled there
