       Bright sunshine here at Manuka Oval but due to the mother of all
        downpours this morning, play won't get underway for a good while
        yet.  The umpires have had a squizz at the wicket, there's a
        fellah blowdrying it - shouldn't be too long.
       Players are warming up now, looking goood for a start about 3:15

        moments

        flourishing drive for a period

        brought himself on to attack with left-handed Chinamen
       Attack of the left-handed Chinamen - wasn't there a movie with that
        title? Possibly Japanese?

        super Griffo

        scored to the batsman
       dead ball for talking while the bowler was coming in, umpire Harris

       tea time on day 3 here at Manuka, 5 wickets seperate the Comets
        from having a stab at a total

Match State: Tea - Day 3

       Academy lead by 202 with 5 wickets in hand, the pitch is looking
        like a road and the ACT have muffed a couple of chances - this
        should be an absorbing last session, interesting to see if the
        left arm orthodox Robson can get any bounce out of it
       They're missing Captain Tucker wth stomach muscle probs, his flat
        meds might have been interesting on this batting paradise -
        anyway, it's the big man Kellar, the workhorse of this Comets XII
  38.1 Kellar to Cameron, two runs, nicely tucked fine, bacward square has
        to run a long way to pick it up and two is comfy
  38.2 Kellar to Cameron, no run
  38.3 Kellar to Cameron, OUT: game on here at Manuka as a Kellar straight
        on keeps low on the batsman and the massive LBW appeal is given

        the final day of the ACB Cup match between the ACT Comets and the
        Commonwealth Bank Cricket Academy
       It's quite a warm morning, the pitch looks flatter than yesterday
        (when it was as green as a bit of bitumen) and the crowd is
        exactly 0. Looks a fast outfield, the ACT have to get 281 to win,
        8 wickets in hand and a minimum of 109 overs must be bowled
       Shaping up to be a contest, no argument
  19.1 Griffith to Brown, three runs, Brown scores from the first ball of
        the morning, an edge that went along the ground past 3rd slip
  19.2 Griffith to Heaney, no run
  19.3 Griffith to Heaney, no run
  19.4 Griffith to Heaney, no run

  55.2 Goldsmith to Robson, no run
