BRISBANE HEAT's INNINGS
Code:
0.1  Dwayne Bravo to Lendl Simmons, Short ball, pulled away for four!  (4) 
0.2  Dwayne Bravo to Lendl Simmons, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy!  (7) 
0.3  Dwayne Bravo to Joe Burns, Lofted drive, falls into the gap. The ball gets stuck in the outfield meaning the batsmen get only two.  (2) 
0.4  Dwayne Bravo to Joe Burns, Good shot, they're running hard, the throw comes in, but they've managed a comfortable two.  (2) 
0.5  Dwayne Bravo to Joe Burns, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover.  (1) 
0.6  Dwayne Bravo to Lendl Simmons, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky!  (4)

1.4  James Pattinson to Lendl Simmons, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1) 
1.5  James Pattinson to Joe Burns, Sloppy fielding, the batsmen were content with one but end up getting two.  (2) 
1.6  James Pattinson to Joe Burns,   (0) Someone should really tell him what that bat is for. Rapped dead in front, the umpire has no hesistation.

13.4  Andrew Fekete to Matthew Wade, Buffet bowling, the batsman helps himself to four more.  (4) 
13.5  Andrew Fekete to Matthew Wade, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover.  (1) 
13.6  Andrew Fekete to Aaron Finch, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0)

14.1  Luke Feldman to Matthew Wade, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1) 
14.2  Luke Feldman to Aaron Finch, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only two.  (2)

15.1  Samuel Badree to Aaron Finch, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0) 
15.2  Samuel Badree to Aaron Finch, Biffed down to long-off, easy single.  (1) 
15.3  Samuel Badree to Matthew Wade, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming!  (4) 
15.4  Samuel Badree to Matthew Wade, Very well bowled.  (0) 
15.5  Samuel Badree to Matthew Wade, The cuts back in sharply, and the batsman misses completely, and his struck on the pads. It's a tough decision, but the umpire sends him on his way! Excellent bowling.

16.2  Andrew Fekete to Callum Ferguson, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2) 
16.3  Andrew Fekete to Callum Ferguson, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2)

Wtf! Reading the thread title I thought we have won the match with Wade scoring hundred off just 30 balls.:p
 
That was PCCC. The history in this is from real life. :p
that team won the League, without even a single loss :o...Hail PCCS and my simulation

excellent performance by Strikers. Jayawardene and Laughlin were stars of the match..Good way to start off the season, hoping that we will continue this form
