puts it over square leg for the winning runs, they finally get across the line!
Queensland vs West Aust, at Perth, Oct 11 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary
West Aust won by 2 wickets (with 3 balls remaining)
What a thriller in the end, coming down to the last over despite a very low scoring game. Noffke was outstanding with bat and ball, steadying the innings with a top score for WA of 43. McDermott, Laughlin and Cutting were all great with the ball for Qld
Carseldine got the first 50 for the new season but it wasn't enough as Noffke had the last laugh against his old side, taking Man of the Match honours in the process.
That's it from me, Andrew Fuss. Until next time, good night.
pushed to mid wicket, Dorey takes off and should have been run out as Simpson fumbles at the bowler's end. The drama continues!
Just a bit of pressure on the number 10 here. Field is up
tries to finish it in one hit, punches it down the ground to long on, bouncing five metres short
So it all comes down to this, 3 required off one Simpson over, with 2 wickets in hand. What a way to start the new season!
and again beats the outside edge, very unlucky not to have a fourth there, the end of a great spell
ooh, so close! Full outside off, angling away and just beating the outside edge
nice bouncer, ducked under easily
length on off, nips back in and cramps him up, squirting off the pad to slip
right on the money, defended back to the bowler
Is there another twist?
length on leg, flicked to square leg who takes comfortably low to his left
Noffke the raging favourite to be Man of the Match with 1/19 off 10 and a so far unbeaten 43
advances and punches it down to long on
flicked to mid wicket
low full toss, driven down to long on
driven to long off
full and flicked fine to short fine leg
backs away and advances, going inside out over cover, well played Noffke
full and driven to long off
works the ball to square leg
bang, right out of the middle. Just swings through the line of a length ball on middle
length ball hits the thigh pad, squirts to point
quick, skidding delivery, hits in front of middle, perhaps just going down leg. Rimmington's appeal perhaps wasn't convincing enough
steps across to a short ball outside off and doesn't make contact on a cross bat swat
