@ Cheetah4eva:
EP will get moered against the Antipodean ‘coconuts’ if they tried their boxing skills over there next year!
Staat penalty, on their own 10m line
Kings have a 5m lineout, that is 5m from their own line
End of over 18 (9 runs) Sydney Sixers 145/7 (19 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 8.05, RRR: 9.50)
Staat lineout, about 15m out…
Damn!
EP Kings scrum… knock
16 of 9
Staat penalty, quick tap by Sareltjie…. and Staat handling lets them down badly
10 of 8 after a 6
Jeez. Cheetahs speel crap
152 @ Pietman,
Jip, you are so right, they will soon discover, that they are outclassed in every aspect!
what a missed catch at this stage, demmit. 8 of 6 , last over
Rhule showing his inexperience with that long pass…open try it was, hand to hand.
Better play by the Cheetahs now…. keeping the ball… and as I say that Benjamin knocks
Bugger! Another pass goes down, bur I guess conditions not helping! Cheetahs defence has been stout though! Last week they showcased their attack, tonight defence!
6 of 5
wicket 6 from 4 , 2 wickets left
Penalty Staat…. I would go for goal…. and they do
Right in front
EP Kings 6 / 3 Cheetahs
wide , 5 from 4
How many kicks did Sias miss tonight? That is a worry, for the Force. It was an aspect of Sias’ game that was very good, but this year he has been terrible.
2 runs, 3 from 3
Cheetahs have changed gears now!
Try Sies Ebersohn!
Staat takes the lead
2 from 2
That will take the fight out of the usurpers!
Frank Hearne the 7s Bok? Some big names in that EP side…
Cheetahs 10 / 6 EP Kings
