watchful in defence to Tuskunas. 51 for 1 off 12.
2:12 pm
Good stop by everyone's fave Singa player. The Boy Extras continues to
do his stuff. 44 for one off 11.
2:10
pm
Chelvarajah of Singapore (a genuine expert and legend
of Bench and Bar cricket) confesses to some worry. A mix-up between the
batsmen does not result in anything. Taskunas is bowling. 42 for one
off ten. 2:06 pm
David Talalla is the new bat. I blame
myself for the last wicket, so will not say anything more about the
Singaporeans.
2:03 pm
Nada
C hitteds 2 and then a wild swipe beats the keeper for one. The New
Model Raivadera is about as wide as one the stumps. Mr Ramason is here
to give the benefit of his expert views. Whoops, he's actually on the
way to the gents. Nada C hitteds it for 2, not a boundary due to an
heroic chase. Raivadera takes a blinder in front of 1st slip to dismiss A
Sivam of Nick Power. 38 for one off 8. The Boy Extras continues his run
of form in the Bar batting line-up.
1:52 pm
Typing hard as
keeping feet off deck for sound tactical reasons. Buang Soey!! 28 for
none off 6.
1:48 pm
Nick
Power comes on from the pavilion end. A Sivam steals a run, though to
speak of run stealers flickering to and fro may be pushing the point a
tad. Mr Youngeswaran has yet to assume his customary sitting Buddha
pose. Nadarajah C covers drives for 3, hitteding the ball well is he.
24 for for none off 5
1:43 pm
C Nada has hitted Moiz for 4
classically off driving, sending it back from whence it came. 20 for
none off 4.
1:39
pm
We are trying to do a better job in the second innings
(every which way) and to that end I have secured the expert commentary
services of distinguished players Avinash Pradhan and Raji Ramason. I
understand that the latter's classical features will soon be gracing the
website. Burton Chen is bowling from the pavilion end, and it seems
that age cannot wither nor custom stale his trademark leap into the
crease. The Singapore team has now bowled 10 wides, perhaps confusing
Easter with Xmas. Lovely clip through midwicket from C Nada. Score is
15 for none off 3. 1:34 pm
Welcome
back. A Sivam and C Nada are opening for Malaysia. Sivam has
negotiated a testing over from Moiz . Score is 8 for none off 2.
