slower ball, tip and run to cover... who misfields and allows them to come back for two! Brave win by seven wickets and go joint top of the table
Originals vs Brave, 11th Match at Southampton, Men's Hundred, Aug 01 2024 - Match Result
Brave won by 7 wickets (with 22 balls remaining)
Wayne Madsen and Jamie Overton's 57-run partnership is MO-M's highest for the 5th wicket in T20s, breaking the record of 39 between Ackermann and Brathwaite
This is the lowest match aggregate (233) involving Brave & Originals in T20s
8.55pm: Originals walk off with stony expressions, they've lost for the third time in a row. Not the start to the season they were after, particularly with their regular captain, Jos Buttler, absent as well. They started badly with the bat, started badly with the ball - and didn't do a lot better either side, to be honest
Craig Overton is Match Hero: "Great win, we enjoy playing here. Bashing the top of the stumps, little bit two paced. Make them play as much as possible, make it hard for them. Home games are massive, then try to get a few on the road and you'll be there for the finals."
Okay, that's yer lot for one night. Just a regular double-header tomorrow, Superchargers vs Invincibles at T'Oval. Join us then. Bye!
"116 just not close to enough," muses DaWolf, here to the bitter end. "Comfortable chase."

Farooqi again, sun setting on Originals

Brave closing in now, 18 needed from 30. Paul Walter on to bowl
"You'd think this total should be fairly simple to chase, but again, they aren't making it look easy. Have the surfaces in this tournament been unusually bowler-friendly? If so, I'm not sure that's in keeping with the whole 'shop window' idea..." It's a bowler-friendly format, Pete. But yes, whatever the reasons, not been a vintage one (for the men) so far
straighter line, nudged leg side and they will run hard for two more
reverse-swept for four! Nicely played by the 20-year-old, down on one knee to steer into the gap through point
flat outside off, Evans dinks it softly towards point. Looking for two but Coles says no
pushed through straight, 55mph and driven to cover

steered to short third for one
floated up, into the front pad as Coles goes across the line. Rob White shakes his head, looked to be going down leg
skiddy length, 57mph down leg, Salt can't gather it in and they'll run a couple more
over the wicket, flicked out full and worked to long-on
Raza again
short of a length, cut to point where Madsen can't quite prevent one
