1st PS3 T20 Champions Trophy- Completed

[RIZZYX]

Rizzy, Psy, Jay - Guys any luck setting up your remaining games? Lets get Group A done an over with people.

Rizzy, I saw Psy online and have left him a message requesting that he setup his remaining games with you and Jay. I see him online frequently so its not like he's not around - it may just be a matter of coordinating schedules. Its just mighty difficult unless both players are active on PC. I know Rizzyx is, not sure if Psy comes here often.

BTW, Psy just responded indicating that Rizzy and his "timings don't match". I guess both will have to make an effort to make time. Maybe over the weekend might be better?

Yeh I have noticed PSY has been online before I get on, I will try getting on at 6 today and see if I can catch him. Otherwise ill mesasge him and ask him to arrange a time for tomorrow.

Same with Jayn.

Best way is to arrange a time on here, considering the tourney was organised here, I think players should regularly check this thread to arrange games, and I have tried doing that on a number of times, oh well both groups are at a similer stage, we should be able to get all group games done by the end of the weekend, and have the knockout stage the following week.

If PSY wins both games, and i win my game against Jayn, the 3 of us will have 12 points each, and it will go down to NRR, could be very intresting but I think you have a good enough NRR to qualify.

Or, maybe you could just beat Psy and make sure I go through!

So, Psy & Jay are both online (and playing Ashes 2009) right now. Hopefully they can get their game.

I just went on about 10 minz ago, they were both online, I have arranged a game with psymax tomorrow at 10pm india time and i have agreed, but i realise now that is not a good time for me..

I am away from my ps3 ryt now, but thanda if your still on, then plz send him a message and ask him if he can play at 7.30pm india time. As i will be busy from 9pm india time untill early morning.

Psy has agreed to play you at 7.30PM IST tomorrow. Messaged him and got a response back confirming.

I managed to catch him on earlier, and we started a game, was a cracker but for some strange reason i got disconnected from the Playstation Network, even though my connection seemed fine.

I made 275 for 8, and in reply he was some were around 100/6, maybe a bit more, can't remember his score 100%, after 9 overs.

Am hoping, we will replay the match in a unranked fixture, were he will have 11 overs to get around 175, and i still have 3 Shoaib Akhtar overs in the bag, and only 1 spin over to bowl.

I havent managed to confirm this with Psymax yet, he went offline after the i got dc. So am hoping he will be on at 730pm ist tomorrow and we can finish the game.

Wow, that's quite a show you must've put on there - 275's a massive total. I think sustaining 16 an over for another 11 overs with 4 in hand's going to be a tough ask. Good luck to both.

I was looking at a lot more, but he came back well picking up wickets with good feild settings, I was 170/3 after 10 overs, that was partly because he didnt use his fast bowler until the 13th over, and strangely enough he only bowled 3 overs with the quicky even though he was by far the most economical bowler

Group A Match 10 Pakistan (RIZZYX) vs South Africa (Psymax)
Venue: Karachi (Hosted by Pakistan)
Toss: Pakistan won elected to bat

Pakistan: 277/8 - 20 Overs
Y Khan 63 (19)
K Akmal 55 (27)
S Malik 55 (29)
V Palenger 3/62 (4.0)
P Harris 2/44 (3.0)

South Africa: 156 all out in 12.3 overs
N/A

Result: Pakistan won by 121 runs
Points: Pak=3 SA=0

Match Report: Another blazing display by Pakistan's meant Pakistan race their way into the Semi Final's along with New Zealand. Kamran Akmal got things flowing until the in form Yunus Khan fresh from his 97 against Srilanka again took charge, racing to a 14 ball half century, Malik once again gave the injection towards the end of the innigs and Pakistan finished with a daunting total of 277/8.

South Africa began well taking 18 off the first over, but then Pakistan slowly chipped away and picked up wickets just often enough to keep South Africa's batsman in check, They were reduced to 126/6 as Pakistan were marching towards victory until bad light stopped play (connection lost) the game continued on the reserve day with South Africa requiring a further 150 from their remaing 11 overs with only 4 wickets in hand. They faultered and ended their innings on 156.

MOM: Yunus Khan for his 63 from 19 balls.

(gg psy shame about the connection loss, and the lag for one of your wickets today)

So, Pak & NZ qualify from Group A. Game against Gougie & Lonewolf decides semi-finalists from Group B.

So its going to be:
Rizzyx vs Gougie/Lonewolf
Thanda vs Lilas (assuming he wins even 1 of his 2 games against Aus)

Right?

Yes I think thats right, As i am sure Pakistan will be topping this group regardless of the result of the last game against Srilanka.

And it looks probable that Lilas11 will top his group, hence you playing him, I can say one thing for sure, whatever the outcome its going to be a tough semi Final.

I have never played Lonewolf so that will be an intresting game am sure.

Congratulations RIZZY and Thanda on making the semi finals. Tough luck psymax any one result going your way would have changed the whole group scenario. Guys would be great if you could complete your games against jaynffc as was hoping after the group stage we could probably award the most runs scored, most wickets taken, best average and best NRR. Whats your take on it.

Group B is still open as I am yet to complete against gougie also along with the result of lonewolf gougie game the NRR might also play a significant role in determining who qualifies..should be very interesting.

Have sent a number of messages to gougie since yesterday but am unable to get a game against him hopefully tomorrow we can complete or I could get my games against Eflindor

Are you talking about awards for teams as a whole or individual players i.e how many wickets Shoaib Akhtar took?

If its for the team as a whole i.e how many wickets Pakistan took, how many wickets Srilanka took etc...then i think that is a good idea, I will try get my game with Jayn in over the weekend.

@ Jayn...if possible mate please arrange a time on here, I will be free after 8pm uk time on both Saturday and Sunday
