They were 3/100 earlier and look 79 overs to reel in 129.
Two remarkable finishes over the weekend, making TVCA's 14 run GF margin seem comfortable.

Saw the last few hours and by gee it came within a whisker of rivaling the unbelievable finish of the Creek v Hahndorf GF only 24 hours earlier.
What a contrast the 2 games were. The A&EHCA GF a run fest compared to the Hills GF which was just a slow grind all day as Aldgate so very slowly crawled towards their target. Great credit to Meadows who looked out of it but just kept grinding and slowly but surely you could see the tide turning and the champs getting up off the canvas and got themselves into the box seat to win only for Aldgate to snatch it back right at the death in an amazing finish. Needing 3 to win off the last over it started with a dot ball then followed by a 2 as the batsmen contemplated going for the match winning 3rd but decided better of it leaving just 1 to win off 4 balls with 2 wickets in hand.
With every fielder circling the batsmen the next 2 balls were dots as the tension built.
The 2nd last ball was then hit back to the bowler with the batsmen running but the bowler turning around to effect a run out to bring it down to 1 off the last ball.
I was thinking? What odds a Mankad? And sure enough the bowler stopped short of delivering the ball with the non striker haring down the pitch as the crowd held their breath if the Mankad would be effected ????
It wasn't
Now thats one that will create plenty of discussion. We all know its a bit of a dog act BUT so is the non striker cheating trying to steal a run.
Last ball was belted down the ground for a 3 and Meadows remarkable 9 year reign had been conquered

imo once the bowler starts his run up the ball is 'in play' and stay in your bloody crease.

If a player is streaming halfway down the wicket looking to steal a single then yes mankad should come into play.
If a player just gets lazy and starts backing up thinking the ball is going to be bowled, then mankad is weak.

Shows that even the best can succumb to the pressure in the big moments!
A fairly costly error you'd think!

Firstly congratulations to L Creek on the win.
A hectic last over by the sounds of it. Also interesting choice of who to bowl that last over. Now RTW is a decent bowler, but had not had a trundle in the game up until that point. Meanwhile one of the opening bowlers who looks to have sent down 4 reasonably good overs at the beginning of the innings is overlooked! Come the final ball 2 to win and 1 to tie and all fielders on the single is a little odd. But I heard last night there was a dropped catch too in either the last over or very late in the game. Costly too as it was Blackwell, there’s the game right there.

I’m only stating what I’ve heard, in terms of the dropped catch, and yes it’s second hand info.

Tweaked my knee bowling and made it worse fielding. Ended up with a strained lateral ligament and damaged meniscus. On a knee that has already been reconstructed twice it wasnt fun. Im interested to hear who told you it was okay though....

Fair enough. I’ve done knees so I know what it is like. Still looks like you were going ok before it went on you.
