thick edge to bw point. That is the end of the 15 over, but there is still 6 minutes left. Knights subs appear from all over with drinks and gloves to waste some time, but the Cobras have given up on taking the last3 wickets.h
Knights vs Cape Cobras, at Cape Town, Feb 02 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Had a funny feeling that the Cobras needed 3 wickets last night, but batted on. So match drawn. The Cobras have gone to the top of the log, but it will all come down to next week's matches.
Philander is the Man of the Match, and must be wondering how things would have turned out had be been as effective with the first new ball as the second.
Still, a career best 7 for 61 in the first innings and 9 in the match was a good return.
Reeza Hendrics must also have been in the running with innings of 124 and 82.
shortish again and he is on the back foot
defends confidently
pushed to cover
punched to mid off
pushed back off the back foot. Min 5 balls
that could be it for Philander,, he kicks the air in frustration. 1 over left, but the cobras have bowled quickly in this final hour and there should be time for at least one if not 2 extra overs. here comes WP's hat-trick hero from last week
on middle and off but van der Wath is stubborn in his defiance
defended to mid wicket
down leg and he flicks it to fine leg
and again
round the wicket but wasted outside off, McLaren won't play at that
steered to bw point. 2 overs left
it was a different ball game last week, but simetu did get a hat-trick
punched to cover
turned round the corner. Has Kemp made an error by shunning his specialist spinner?
defended to silly point
juicy half volley outside off gets put away. The deficit is now down to 11.
outside off and left. 3 overs remaining
hit on the pad, perhaps missing leg. Philander is understandably upset that he did not get his man.
