Anyone fancy an online game?

Thought I might as well post the result for anyone who's interested. Basically I got absolutely thrashed. I dropped about 4 chances, and Chris's batting was incredible, especially early on. Chanderpaul got 80 odd not out, Colly did well and got 2 wickets. They got 172-3.

Then I batted, Bell did well, but got caught at the third man boundary trying to repeat his earlier feat of reversing sweeping for 6, he got 35 from 18 balls. I got bowled out for 87 with 2 balls of the innings remaining. Screenie below...

My latest online game against Joe, incredible game, with me batting first and making 105-9, thanks to 30 from Tendulkar and 2-13 from Kaneria. In reply, Joe got off to a flying start with Malik and Khan doing pretty well and got to 60 or 70 odd for 2 before Harbhajan and Yuraj Singh and Sehwag bowled well, and they were left with 4 to win off the last over, with 3 wickets in hand, they needed 3 after the 3rd delivery of the over, but lost another one when trying a second run. 2 to win with 2 balls and 2 wickets remaining. The next ball, Yuraj got another wicket, trapping Asif LBW. The last ball was played out with an LBW Appeal but no runs. Therefore I won by 1 run! Unlucky Joe, better luck next time

well if you could run on the bloody LBW appeals then i would have managed a tie! I knew i was going to lose it when i couldn't get the tail enders of strike. btw Phil Yousuf completely pwnd you with the ball and i reverse sweeped a 6 of the edge India-Pakistan classic there!

 

[dhoni dhamaka]

what a match! :cool:

btw can you play a full 50 overs match in the game?

Easy answer to that, yes.

I played Phil and bowled him out for 46 i think and then knocked it off with 4 wickets to spare although i did go through a very nervy patch. The reason it was such a low scoring game is both me and phil bowled too many yorkers to score off and phil forgot how to run

Only 4 wickets to spare! Yep, you fell to something like 21-6, but then you got home without losing anymore wickets. The over of Ashraful won you the game. Incredibly low game, I wasn't able to hit the ball to the boundary which meant I got frustrated and edged and gave the fielders a lot of chances. A lot of slower balls in our games, Joe, and I'm starting to wish I hadn't played as Bangladesh.

Is a thread setup yet to arrange games?

 

[Leicester Fox]

Me and Ricco_M jus played a game, he was New Zealand, i was England, he batted first, then i chased what i though to be an easy total, but Ricco bowled really well and pegged me down, not allowing me to get into any kind of flow, decent match and great fun. Cheers Ricco
