Story A Season in Battrick - The TT Lions Story

[Pak_cricketer]

Haha! I was following your game and look at this:

21.6 W Crouch to Legg
Bowled him Crouch really bowled a beauty.. oh no Crouch has missed the high five and Gallagher has been slapped in the face.

Now things are getting interesting. Harris and Zweni in after 25 overs. Advantage is that they will bat fewere overs. Disadvantage is that they are Harris and Zweni, and will probably kill my bowling nonetheless. Need a wicket.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Eli and Crouch are just leaking runs atm.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

The batsmen are of such quality, it would be hard not too, especially since they both are my two 'weaker' bowlers. Both batsmen Remarkable and Remarkable+, with high secondaries. I'll need a fluke to get a wicket.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Tuckett is back into the attack. Probably the most capable bowler in my lineup of getting one of these two batsmen out.

End of Over 32: 119-3, runrate=3.72
Tuckett 6-1-13-2
Zweni* 20 (29 balls)
Harris 38 (56 balls)

Last Wicket: Legg b. Crouch 29 (FOW: 75/3)

Looking at the progress, Will it be a first defeat after a long time.. As the opponent seem to go well.. almost 50 runs partnership for them atm!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 39: 164-3, runrate=4.21
Crouch 8-0-55-1
Zweni* 35 (44 balls)
Harris 67 (83 balls)

Last Wicket: Legg b. Crouch 29 (FOW: 75/3)

Crouch is bleeding runs, Tuckett giving nothing away. These two are unstoppable. I need a wicket before the last 10.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 40: 166-3, runrate=4.15
Tuckett 10-1-29-2
Harris* 67 (83 balls)
Zweni 37 (50 balls)

Last Wicket: Legg b. Crouch 29 (FOW: 75/3)

Crouch will get 2 overs, Folkes 5, Rudi 3...

 

[surendar]

Thats tough time for TT lions.. i guess they wud reach around 250!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

42.4 W Folkes to Tudor
What a catch, what a marvellous catch by Rudi.
42.3 W Folkes to Harris
Seamed back in and bowls him! Middle peg nearly knocked the wicket keeper out!

Oly Zweni the only threat left, but the rest should be mopped uo rather quickly I should end up chasing less than 250

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Oh man, just when I thought Lions were losing it, Folkes strikes 2 and is on a hattrick!!!

42.4 W Folkes to Tudor
What a catch, what a marvellous catch by Rudi.
42.3 W Folkes to Harris
Seamed back in and bowls him! Middle peg nearly knocked the wicket keeper out!

EDIT: No hattrick.

Not a good match. As I mentioned earlier, the key to winning this was two things: Restricting Zweni and Harris with the bat, and facing off Zweni with the ball. We did the first decently enough, didn't do the second well at all. In all fairness, the rest of the team was crap and we thrashed them. The other 7 batsmen apart from Harris and Zweni mustered only 71 runs between them, and the bowling figures removing Zweni read 15.4-1-62-4, which included 3 tail-end wickets. It never is nice losing, but it's even worse when you lose to a one-man team, especially when you have the much better team allround. Although, I admit, batting still needs work...

Ratings:

Smashed them bowling. Batting was weak, definately a point which needs work, but overall, I should have won based on these ratings. But one when one player takes 6 wickets in 7 overs, there is not much you can do.

Attendance:

147K in the bank for me. Not too much, but it's fine.

Join us on Friday when the Lions play host to the Corktown Wayfarers!
