B misses k by not much from edge of A Baulk
22 Jan 2017 11:13AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
Bryant goes to c3 and misses to 1ft W of c4
22 Jan 2017 11:18AM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Hakes stops the clock to put some tape around the top of his mallet
22 Jan 2017 11:22AM (Tournament); 26 Readers
That could be a match changing play
22 Jan 2017 11:22AM (Tournament); 25 Readers
Doesn't get a rush out of h1 but a good cut gets it to 5y n of c4
22 Jan 2017 11:23AM (Tournament); 25 Readers
Looks like he might have gone of rolled off the lawn
22 Jan 2017 11:24AM (Tournament); 24 Readers
That would be quite disappointing
22 Jan 2017 11:24AM (Tournament); 24 Readers
He's safe! Has a rush to h2 and dug red in a few yards at the same time
22 Jan 2017 11:25AM (Tournament); 24 Readers
Approaches h2 leaving himself a rush to h3 or down to c4 when he runs two off the line
22 Jan 2017 11:25AM (Tournament); 23 Readers
Now he's looking at the 7 yarder into c2
22 Jan 2017 11:26AM (Tournament); 24 Readers
Mallet remains in his hand as he hits it half back. Should go round here now
22 Jan 2017 11:26AM (Tournament); 24 Readers
In control at h6 with partner at 2b
22 Jan 2017 11:35AM (Tournament); 26 Readers
He's playing with the tape on his mallet again
22 Jan 2017 11:40AM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Y pretty close the WB if not on it, R will be at 3b and an NSL. A nice pick up and big turn for his confidence in the grand scheme of the match.
22 Jan 2017 11:41AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
All other clips on h1
22 Jan 2017 11:41AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
Over runs 3b and has a 3 yard return on oppo so it will be an OSL instead
22 Jan 2017 11:43AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
Bryant lifts the ball 5y E of the peg and middles the lift at a controlled pace
22 Jan 2017 11:48AM (Tournament); 27 Readers
1.53 left in the game so I think we'll still see a TPO
22 Jan 2017 11:48AM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Still has a bit of work for the break so it may just be a ball to 4b. No pioneer within 10 yards of h3 but all the balls in lawn
22 Jan 2017 11:53AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
Won't be a TPO unless he chases a delayed so I think he'll just have a ball round with an NSL and 4b ball at 3b. The experts can tell me if I'm wrong thinking that's a sensible leave
22 Jan 2017 11:56AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
The rookie expert panel of Shilling, Goldfinch and croquet NZs new AC wonder boy Freeth agree
22 Jan 2017 12:00PM (Tournament); 30 Readers
Bryant has just had an absolute shocker
22 Jan 2017 12:08PM (Tournament); 32 Readers
Croqueting a ball to 3b, going to partner at 2b he must have hit it off the side as he finished 1y south of the hoop completely wired
22 Jan 2017 12:09PM (Tournament); 29 Readers
Failed h1 trying to run the hoop to hit the 2b pioneer and missed giving Hakes the world
22 Jan 2017 12:10PM (Tournament); 26 Readers
That is very disappointing
22 Jan 2017 12:10PM (Tournament); 28 Readers
Probably would have run the hoop if it wasn't an Atkins is the panels current thoughts
22 Jan 2017 12:10PM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Apologies about the delay. Hakes has a straight double to complete
22 Jan 2017 12:37PM (Tournament); 27 Readers
e stuffed up again - looks like it's a straight rover to complete in a very good position
22 Jan 2017 12:44PM (Tournament); 26 Readers
26TP - 7
