I'll post the score updates now and then.

FreddieFan · Sep 30, 2005

Good luck, I lost my first match by 2 runs

*cries*

ZoraxDoom · Sep 30, 2005

Not Good

:help

End of Over 24: 68-2, runrate=2.83
Gall 2-0-2-0
Delop* 39 (67 balls)
Fallon 5 (38 balls)

Hope Delop can play a good one.

24.3 4 Speare to Delop
Short and smacked through the on side for four.

Thats the way...

Another Update:

End of Over 26: 78-2, runrate=3.00
Gall 3-1-2-0
Delop* 44 (72 balls)
Fallon 5 (45 balls)

Last Wicket: Greenwood c. Halliday b. Aldridge 10 (FOW: 43/2)

Fallon is really slowing things down, although all of his shots have gone to fielders...

26.1 . Speare to Delop
played around to mid wicket, Delop went for the single, send back, fielder missed stumps and Delop gets a second chance

Phew! I hope he uses this luck wisely...

Update 3)

End of Over 28: 80-2, runrate=2.86
Gall 4-2-2-0
Fallon* 5 (47 balls)
Delop 44 (83 balls)

We need to pick things up...

28.3 4 Speare to Fallon
managed to play that past extra cover, sweeper gets a hand to it but the ball managed to roll over the rope

Finally he gets one away!!! A few more now...

Update 4

Aww crap:

30.2 W Speare to Fallon
went for another big one, beats the bat and leg stump on the ground

Atleast skipper Dennis is in now. Lets hope he does well. Quite an attacking batter.

End of Over 31: 97-3, runrate=3.13
Speare 9-1-33-1
Dennis* 2 (3 balls)
Delop 47 (88 balls)

Last Wicket: Fallon b. Speare 12 (FOW: 90/3)

Delop 50 :upray

Update 5)

End of Over 33: 102-3, runrate=3.09
Speare 10-1-36-1
Delop* 49 (91 balls)
Dennis 5 (12 balls)

33.3 lb1 Westlake to Delop
That LBW appeal didn't impress the umpire and the batsmen sprint through for a single.

He'll have to wait a while, but he's practically got it! I hope Dennis opens up soon...

34.3 4 Gall to Dennis
Great timing off the back foot as the ball races through the covers for four.
34.2 4 Gall to Dennis
Rocks back and pulls to deep backwards square.

Yes! C'mon! Thats the way!

Update 6)

35.4 1 Westlake to Delop
He hasnt quite timed that, but theyll still come through for a single.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 36: 116-3, runrate=3.22
Westlake 8-3-10-0
Dennis* 17 (23 balls)
Delop 50 (98 balls)

Last Wicket: Fallon b. Speare 12 (FOW: 90/3)

This still isn't to good. Our first 10 overs with the ball will be crucial.

Update 7)

Double Crap!!!

37.6 W Westlake to Dennis
He went for a big swipe there, but as the ball flew to the boundary, he stood on his stumps! Out hit wicket!!

Horrible luck!!! I can't believe it!

Allrounder Crouch in now. Not a bad bat, quite good infact.

38.2 4 Gall to Delop
Full delivery, but smeared away to backward point for four.

Good to see them trying to up the runrate.

S***!

38.6 W Gall to Delop
gets himself in a complete muddle there and is trapped lbw in front of the stumps.

These are not good last few overs...Runako Atkinson walks in. I predict an early end to the innings...

End of Over 39: 127-5, runrate=3.26
Gall 8-2-19-1
Crouch* 0 (0 balls)
Atkinson 0 (0 balls)

Update 8)

Why Atkinson??!?!?!

40.3 W Storey to Crouch
Crouch sets off for a quick single but the non-stiker has held his ground and left his partner stranded to be run out.

Bad, Really Bad:

40.4 W Storey to Leonard
nicks that one to Delgado, who holds onto a tight catch.

But no Hattrick for him:

40.5 . Storey to Griffin
outside the off, bottom edge, wanted the run, Halliday quick to field, missed stumps

End of Over 41: 130-7, runrate=3.17
Storey 6-0-17-2
Griffin* 1 (2 balls)
Atkinson 1 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Leonard c. Delgado b. Storey 0 (FOW: 129/7)

Griffin can bat...a bit...

Please last 8 more overs :upray

End of Over 42: 136-7, runrate=3.24
Gall 9-2-25-1
Atkinson* 3 (5 balls)
Griffin 5 (4 balls)

Update 9)(Final Update-a long one)
This is not impressive. I hope our bowlers can pull something out of the hat.

Bye Bye Atkinson

42.6 W Storey to Atkinson
Slight movement away from him and a thin edge is taken by Halliday.

End of Over 43: 138-8, runrate=3.21
Storey 7-0-19-3
Griffin* 6 (5 balls)
Drayton 0 (0 balls)

Ok...we have to defend 138. After what happened in the last match when they tried defending 156...I am not very optimistic

43.4 2 Gall to Drayton
mistimes a pull out to the square leg boundary and takes two runs

Its something...

Gamble is next in. Worthless batter.

43.5 4 Gall to Drayton
timed shot deep into the covers for four.

Nice :cool:

End of Over 44: 145-8, runrate=3.30
Gall 10-2-32-1
Griffin* 7 (7 balls)
Drayton 6 (4 balls)

Last another 6 overs, puh-lease :crying We'll go for Pizza if we win

44.2 1 Storey to Griffin
Edged, but through the slip cordon and thats another to his tally.

We need luck like this.

End of Over 45: 148-8, runrate=3.29
Storey 8-0-21-3
Griffin* 8 (10 balls)
Drayton 7 (7 balls)

Griffin falls...

45.2 W Aldridge to Griffin
big nick and an easy catch for Halliday

Shortly followed by...

Four dot balls.

End of Over 46: 148-9, runrate=3.22
Aldridge 8-1-23-2
Drayton* 7 (7 balls)
Gamble 0 (4 balls)

Then....

46.2 W Storey to Gamble
sets off for a quick one, but it was never on... A quick throw removes the bails and he is stranded. Run out!

End of Innings: 149-10, runrate=3.17
Storey 8-0-22-3
Drayton* 8 (8 balls)

I'll be back with the bowling updates, wish me luck(into 10!!)

Innings 2

Update 1)

Only a legbye here:

End of Over 1: 1-0, runrate=1.00, reqrunrate=3.04 (149-10)
Atkinson 1-1-0-0
Farley* 0 (3 balls)
Garrick 0 (3 balls)

No!

1.1 4 Gamble to Farley
straight bat, managed to get into the gap past cover and another boundary as result

Yes!

1.4 W Gamble to Garrick
attempted hit over the top picks out the safe hands of Delop at long on.

9 so far off this expensive over, and one ball left, but atleast its a wicket.

Update 2

End of Over 2: 12-1, runrate=6.00, reqrunrate=2.88 (149-10)
Gamble 1-0-11-1
Farley* 10 (7 balls)

Atkinson 2-2-0-0
Cilvers* 1 (1 balls)
Farley 10 (13 balls)

Good stuff from Atkinson, another maiden...

3.4 4 Gamble to Cilvers
Textbook drive there. The foot movement was superb.

S***, that Gamble is costing my. He has to produce a wicket now. 10 more off this over

End of Over 4: 22-1, runrate=5.50, reqrunrate=2.78 (149-10)
Gamble 2-0-21-1
Farley* 14 (16 balls)
Cilvers 7 (4 balls)

Update 3)

4.4 wd Atkinson to Farley
Awful ball. About a foot down the leg side and rightly it's called wide.

Less of those will be good.

5 more of this over...

End of Over 5: 27-1, runrate=5.40, reqrunrate=2.73 (149-10)
Atkinson 3-2-4-0
Cilvers* 7 (5 balls)
Farley 17 (22 balls)

Atleast we got a wicket...

Gamble bowls three dot balls...a rarity...something's gonna happen

This: Only two more runs.

End of Over 6: 29-1, runrate=4.83, reqrunrate=2.75 (149-10)
Gamble 3-0-23-1
Farley* 18 (23 balls)
Cilvers 8 (10 balls)

6.4 . Atkinson to Farley
Its taken the edge but it hasnt carried to the slip cordon.

Aww

Another Maiden.

End of Over 7: 29-1, runrate=4.14, reqrunrate=2.81 (149-10)
Atkinson 4-3-4-0
Cilvers* 8 (10 balls)
Farley 18 (29 balls)

7.1 4 Gamble to Cilvers
Stunning drive off the back foot, racing away to the boundary.

Stunning

Update 4)

Well 7 more off that one.

End of Over 8: 38-1, runrate=4.75, reqrunrate=2.67 (149-10)
Gamble 4-0-32-1
Cilvers* 17 (15 balls)
Farley 18 (30 balls)

He has to bowl atleast 2 more overs

We need wickets, and fast. C'mon Atkinson :upray.

8.5 4 Atkinson to Farley
Too wide and cut away for four.

There goes that pray

We need to remove Farley.

5 more off that over.

End of Over 9: 43-1, runrate=4.78, reqrunrate=2.61 (149-10)
Atkinson 5-3-9-0
Cilvers* 18 (16 balls)
Farley 22 (35 balls)

They are running away with this...

9.1 . Gamble to Cilvers
That should have been put away, he looks disappointed after that poor shot.

9.4 4 Gamble to Farley
gave himself some room, picked up to long off, one bounce and4

He's gonna be dropped. No doubt. I need a new quicky...

End of Over 10: 49-1, runrate=4.90, reqrunrate=2.53 (149-10)
Gamble 5-0-38-1
Farley* 27 (38 balls)
Cilvers 19 (19 balls)

Last Wicket: Garrick c. Delop b. Gamble 0 (FOW: 10/1)

Gamble lives up to his name well...the only wicket, but 75% of the runs.

Update 5)

YYEEEEEEESSSSSSSS :clap

10.4 W Atkinson to Farley
The ball bounced really low, hitting Farley on the toe plum infront. Out to a grubber, how unlucky!

How Unlucky

ITS TWO IN TWO!!!! ITS TWO IN TWO!!!! YIPPPPEEEEE!!!

10.5 W Atkinson to Delgado
Plays defensively, but the ball moves off the pitch and takes off stump out of the ground.

Atkinson RULES!

End of Over 11: 51-3, runrate=4.64, reqrunrate=2.54 (149-10)
Atkinson 6-3-11-2
Cilvers* 20 (20 balls)
Panjwani 0 (1 balls)

We are fighting back. Drayton-my second best bowler-is introduced into the attack. One more and we stand a fighting chance.

Update 6)

Drayton concedes only...9

. Its only his first, hope he bowls better.

11.5 4 Drayton to Cilvers
gently worked around the legs past mid wicket for the boundary

End of Over 12: 60-3, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=2.37 (149-10)
Drayton 1-0-9-0
Panjwani* 1 (5 balls)
Cilvers 27 (23 balls)

If we can just dry the runrate, and pick up another(hopefully Clivers), we stand a fair chance.

Atkinson into his seventh

12.5 . Atkinson to Panjwani
Great ball! Fullish and swinging prodigiously, plays a feeble half drive at it from the crease, bat well away from body, through the gate and just shaves wide of off stump, through to Fallon

Man...If I just had two of him...

MAIDEN WICKET! C'MON!!!!

12.6 W Atkinson to Panjwani
advanced, picked up straight to Griffin at mid on for an easy catch

End of Over 13: 60-4, runrate=4.62, reqrunrate=2.43 (149-10)
Atkinson 7-4-11-3
Cilvers* 27 (23 balls)
Halliday 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Panjwani c. Griffin b. Atkinson 1 (FOW: 60/4)

Update 7)

3 off Draytons over.

End of Over 14: 63-4, runrate=4.50, reqrunrate=2.42 (149-10)
Drayton 2-0-11-0
Cilvers* 28 (27 balls)
Halliday 1 (2 balls)

They have there keeper in now, to be followed by the five bowlers. I think we stand a fair chance.

Change of bowling. Crouch in. 16 runs of ten overs in the last match, in one spell. I hope he gets a wicket today.

14.12 Crouch to Cilvers
a risky two, but they make it.

14.3 1 Crouch to Cilvers
Flicked to square leg and a hasty single taken, a direct hit would have seen him run out!

They seem under pressure to score here. We need to capitalise now.

Only 3 off the over.

End of Over 15: 66-4, runrate=4.40, reqrunrate=2.40 (149-10)
Crouch 1-0-3-0
Cilvers* 31 (30 balls)
Halliday 1 (5 balls)

Good start by us in the first 15. We have to build on this.

15.4 4 Drayton to Cilvers
The crowd seemed to like that improvised shot, he timed it well though.

Again...they seem to wanna score quick...

8 from that.

End of Over 16: 74-4, runrate=4.63, reqrunrate=2.24 (149-10)
Drayton 3-0-19-0
Halliday* 2 (6 balls)
Cilvers 38 (35 balls)

16.1 b4 Crouch to Halliday
That's not only beaten Halliday but Fallon too! Just to rub salt into the wounds it's gone for four.

Thats says it all...

16.2 3 Crouch to Halliday
Who needs boundaries when you can pick up the twos as easily as that.

8 from that one too...

End of Over 17: 82-4, runrate=4.82, reqrunrate=2.06 (149-10)
Crouch 2-0-7-0
Cilvers* 39 (37 balls)
Halliday 5 (10 balls)

Complemency is sinking in...

Update 8)

17.6 1 Drayton to Cilvers
almost run out! they never should have run that single!

Missed chance there

...

4 off that over from Drayton. Don't know why he isn't in form now...

End of Over 18: 86-4, runrate=4.78, reqrunrate=2.00 (149-10)
Drayton 4-0-22-0
Cilvers* 41 (43 balls)
Halliday 5 (11 balls)

149-86=63 to win with 6 wickets in hand. We need to get one NOW...the sad smileys are returning...

18.3 . Crouch to Halliday
Good ball! shortish ball angling in from around the wicket, plays down on it late in defence as it comes back a long way

So many chances...something has to happen.

1 off the over

End of Over 19: 87-4, runrate=4.58, reqrunrate=2.03 (149-10)
Crouch 3-0-8-0
Cilvers* 42 (45 balls)
Halliday 5 (15 balls)

19.4 . Drayton to Cilvers
Its taken the edge but it hasnt carried to the slip cordon.

Antoher chance...

Maiden over

End of Over 20: 87-4, runrate=4.35, reqrunrate=2.10 (149-10)
Drayton 5-1-22-0
Halliday* 5 (15 balls)
Cilvers 42 (51 balls)

20.1 4 Crouch to Halliday
Cheeky!!! He has just helped it down the leg side and will pick up four.

Clivers wicket is the all important one...

5 more picked up.

End of Over 21: 92-4, runrate=4.38, reqrunrate=2.00 (149-10)
Crouch 4-0-13-0
Halliday* 10 (17 balls)
Cilvers 42 (55 balls)

Drayton off, Leonard in.
They need only 56 to win.
I guess its safe to say we might not win, but its not over till its over!

21.3 . Leonard to Halliday
batsman shaken by blow to body.

21.5 . Leonard to Halliday
Hes gone for a slog and not got anything on it but fortunately it has missed the stumps.

Yet another chance

Maiden over.

End of Over 22: 92-4, runrate=4.18, reqrunrate=2.07 (149-10)
Leonard 1-1-0-0
Cilvers* 42 (55 balls)
Halliday 10 (23 balls)

Update 9)

22.2 . Crouch to Halliday
On target, yorker length and swinging in late, digs it out to cover

Good bowling, but no wicket

1 off the over.

End of Over 23: 93-4, runrate=4.04, reqrunrate=2.11 (149-10)
Crouch 5-0-14-0
Cilvers* 43 (56 balls)
Halliday 10 (28 balls)

Their runrate is dropping, but the RRR is not anything really...

Clivers is looking good out there:

23.4 1 Leonard to Cilvers
Intelligent cricket there, he knew where the gap was.

This partnership is worth 34. They need 55 more to win. One more wicket, and we have to hope the tail won't wag...

1 off Leonard's over.

End of Over 24: 94-4, runrate=3.92, reqrunrate=2.15 (149-10)
Leonard 2-1-1-0
Cilvers* 44 (60 balls)
Halliday 10 (30 balls)

Their RR has drooped below 4 now

5 off Crouch's over now, RR is 3.96

End of Over 25: 99-4, runrate=3.96, reqrunrate=2.04 (149-10)
Crouch 6-0-19-0
Cilvers* 49 (66 balls)
Halliday 10 (30 balls)

Partnership now worth 39. Clivers is nearing his 50.

25.5 1 Leonard to Cilvers
solid stroke to a diving mid wicket fielder
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Good Knock.

1 off the over, 100 comes up as well. 50 to win-current partnership 40.

End of Over 26: 100-4, runrate=3.85, reqrunrate=2.08 (149-10)
Leonard 3-1-2-0
Cilvers* 50 (71 balls)
Halliday 10 (31 balls)

Update 10)

4 off Crouch's 7th over.

End of Over 27: 104-4, runrate=3.85, reqrunrate=2.00 (149-10)
Crouch 7-0-22-0
Halliday* 11 (32 balls)
Cilvers 52 (76 balls)

27.3 . Leonard to Cilvers
thick outside edge bounces just short of first slip

Sums up our match really...lots of chances, but luck wasn't on our side.

One off that one.

End of Over 28: 105-4, runrate=3.75, reqrunrate=2.05 (149-10)
Leonard 4-1-3-0
Halliday* 12 (34 balls)
Cilvers 52 (80 balls)

45 to win, same amount as this partnership.

Maiden from Crouch.

End of Over 29: 105-4, runrate=3.62, reqrunrate=2.14 (149-10)
Crouch 8-1-22-0
Cilvers* 52 (80 balls)
Halliday 12 (40 balls)

This isn't looking too good.

YYYYEEEEEAAA!
C'mon men!

29.1 W Leonard to Cilvers
Great reaction catch by Fallon, taking ball flicked down leg side at full stretch.

Is it too little too late? I doubt it.
45 to win, 5 in hand. This is getting close.

29.4 wd Leonard to Gall
ball bowled well down the leg side.

Tight situations call for tight bowling Leo...

29.5 . Leonard to Gall
The wickie has removed the bails but there won't be any stumping here, he was clearly safe.

Good to see them out there applying pressure.

Only a wide of the over.

End of Over 30: 106-5, runrate=3.53, reqrunrate=2.20 (149-10)
Leonard 5-1-4-1
Halliday* 12 (40 balls)
Gall 0 (6 balls)

44 to win, 20 overs to go, 5 wickets in hand. In a normal match, walkover for the batting team, in this one, it can go either way.

30.3 . Crouch to Halliday
Good shorter ball, gets extra bounce outside off stump, Halliday is somewhat deceived by it, shaping for one shot and having to stop it, and prevent himself from overbalancing

The boys have smelt a chance for victory in the air. This isn't over, till its over.

Maiden from Crouch. Drayton back. Experienced in this situation, took two wickets in the last match at this time.

End of Over 31: 106-5, runrate=3.42, reqrunrate=2.32 (149-10)
Crouch 9-2-22-0
Gall* 0 (6 balls)

Update 11) -Possibly the final one

GOT 'EM! YEA! Knew you had it in you Drayt!!!!

31.6 W Drayton to Halliday
The ball shapes away from Halliday and he ends up guiding it to the grateful hands of first slip.

3 off that. This match has swung our way with that wicket! I smell a late night in the pub for the boys! I'll be having pizza, seeing I'm underage

End of Over 32: 109-6, runrate=3.41, reqrunrate=2.28 (149-10)
Drayton 6-1-25-1
Gall* 3 (11 balls)
Speare 0 (0 balls)

41 to win and 4 in hand.

Crouch continuing.

Only a noball of that.

End of Over 33: 110-6, runrate=3.33, reqrunrate=2.35 (149-10)
Crouch 10-2-23-0
Speare* 0 (0 balls)
Gall 3 (18 balls)

102 balls, 40 to win. 4 wickets in hand.
A few tight overs, and we can apply the pressure. Once the RRR climbs above three, it will be hard for them, and I'll be having my best bowler back in. Gamble will be a(here comes the pun) gamble, but if he goes for less than 5, with Leo/Runako or Drayt in from the other end, the match will go to the wire. I hope we come out on top.

Drayton only concieves a leg-bye. Things are tighting up.
Leo replacing Crouch.

End of Over 34: 111-6, runrate=3.26, reqrunrate=2.44 (149-10)
Drayton 7-2-25-1
Speare* 0 (5 balls)
Gall 3 (19 balls

)

39 of 96.

34.4 3 Leonard to Gall
That is great bowling, Gall didn?t know too much about that, but he will still pick up a couple.

Ooohh..6 off that one. Useful over for Lucian Magma CC.

End of Over 35: 117-6, runrate=3.34, reqrunrate=2.20 (149-10)
Leonard 6-1-9-1
Gall* 7 (21 balls)
Speare 1 (9 balls)

33 off 90

Maiden from Drayt, he knows how to handle these situations.

End of Over 36: 117-6, runrate=3.25, reqrunrate=2.36 (149-10)
Drayton 8-3-25-1
Speare* 1 (9 balls)
Gall 7 (27 balls)

33 off 84

Good job Pakcricketer

Update 11)-The final one.

Only a bye from Leo now.

End of Over 37: 118-6, runrate=3.19, reqrunrate=2.46 (149-10)
Leonard 7-2-9-1
Speare* 1 (11 balls)
Gall 7 (31 balls)

32 off 78

Drayt continuing.
Concieves only 2.

End of Over 38: 120-6, runrate=3.16, reqrunrate=2.50 (149-10)
Drayton 9-3-27-1
Gall* 8 (35 balls)
Speare 2 (13 balls)

30 off 72

A bit off worry seeping in now. They seem happy to take one or two each over, so if the required runs drop below 25, they might make it. We need a wicket soon...or a few maidens, leaving them a RRR of around 4.

3 more off Leo's over, Drayt into his final one.

End of Over 39: 123-6, runrate=3.15, reqrunrate=2.45 (149-10)
Leonard 8-2-12-1
Gall* 10 (38 balls)
Speare 3 (16 balls)

27 off 66

A wicket now will be good...I think Gamble would be coming in soon...

Only one from Drayts final over. Well bowled.

End of Over 40: 124-6, runrate=3.10, reqrunrate=2.60 (149-10)
Drayton 10-3-28-1
Gall* 11 (43 balls)
Speare 3 (17 balls)

26 off 60

Stay tuned. 2-4 more updates to come.

How do you Get the commentry?

GAMBLE STRIKES WITH A BANG!

40.2 W Gamble to Speare
attempted hit over the top picks out the safe hands of Griffin at long on

This match in safe hands now. Westlake walks in.
Gamble is a bit of a gamble(pun not intended), but he sure does make the breakthroughs when you need them. I am reconsidering dropping him...

Only two off that over.

End of Over 41: 126-7, runrate=3.07, reqrunrate=2.67 (149-10)
Gamble 6-0-40-2
Westlake* 1 (2 balls)
Gall 12 (46 balls)

24 off 54

It has turned out to be a tight match. I think credit for that is due to Leo, Runako and Ryan.

3 more picked off Leo here, still keeping the strike ticking...
Required RR upto just below 3. This is getting close, but if they keep the strike ticking, they might get there.

End of Over 42: 129-7, runrate=3.07, reqrunrate=2.63 (149-10)

Holy S***! This will cost us...Gamble really needs to tighten up

42.1 4 Gamble to Westlake
Short and picked up early. Four through mid wicket.

5 already picked up so far, 3 balls to go...then:

GAMBLE STRIKES AGAIN!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!

42.5 W Gamble to Gall
That's a truly woeful shot. He couldn't have been surprised to hear the clink of his wicket breaking.

I think a comparision to Akhtar is due here-strikes when neede, but concieves a lot of runs. A real gamble(groan!) but I think I'll stick with him

.

5 off the over.

End of Over 43: 134-8, runrate=3.12, reqrunrate=2.29 (149-10)
Gamble 7-0-45-3
Westlake* 7 (8 balls)
Storey 0 (1 balls)

16 off 42

This is getting tight. They might pull it off

43.1 4 Leonard to Westlake
Slightly over-pitched and he was onto it like a flash. Four runs.

NOOO!!!!

43.3 . Leonard to Storey
Good job silly point is wearing a helmet because it's just saved a certain four and a substantial amount of his brain cells

Phew!.

6 picked up here...we can't lose from here...not after all this...please...

Click on the match in progress, you can see the commentry.

End of Over 44: 142-8, runrate=3.23, reqrunrate=1.33 (149-10)
Leonard 10-2-22-1
Storey* 1 (3 balls)
Westlake 14 (12 balls)

S***, Leo concieved 8 off that one.

8 off 36

We might lose this one, but it was a good fight none the less.

Gamble gives away two more.

End of Over 45: 144-8, runrate=3.20, reqrunrate=1.20 (149-10)
Gamble 8-0-47-3
Westlake* 15 (15 balls)
Storey 2 (6 balls)

6 off 30

Westlake has thrown his bat around and has taken his team to the brink of victory. Runako back in. Can he pull off a miracle?

Atkinson concedes a wide...

45.1 wd Atkinson to Westlake
Oh dear, he's got that all wrong, big wide outside off stump, it was nearly fielded by first slip!

And then a single...

4 to win, 27 left. A wicket is needed, as well as a miracle for the TT Lions.

And a miricale....IT IS! ATKISON DOES IT AS THE MATCH GOES TO THE WIRE!

45.5 W Atkinson to Storey
Through the gate the ball went, and to the pavilion Storey headed. A great wicket taking delivery!

What a match! What a match I tells ya. Gamble bowling to Westlake, 1 wicket neede, 4 runs to win.

NNNOOOOOO!

A one wicket loss...Gamble concedes the losing runs as they crash to a one wicket loss. But a great match it was.

46.3 4 Gamble to Aldridge
Pitches up, but a good drive to long off.
46.2 1 Gamble to Westlake
A sprawling dive at extra cover turned what seemed certain to be a boundary into only one. Great fielding!
46.1 . Gamble to Westlake
bit of lift, just over the stumps to keeper

CRAP...
It seems u are really having fun

Too bad...no pizza for u hahah

ZoraxDoom · Oct 1, 2005

I'm going for Pizza...they just don't come

And I am having fun. This game is great! After a few weeks I'm planning to hire a few more coaches, and develop 13 key players in my squad, probably promote a few youths after a while after that.
