Sorry about the lack of updates everyone, I would come up with an excuse but I may as well be honest with you, I have no excuse, I just couldn't be arsed.
In the 11th over the bowling fell apart. No-balls, wides and full tosses made the Famous XI’s job easier than it should have been. The only boundary for the over was a six off that full toss, but the over still produced 11 runs, which is all that is required now. There was also a runout chance that was blown in the over, with the fielder backing up at the keeper’s end seeming to forget that he was supposed to knock the stumps over, letting Denny Crane just sneak home. 3/189 off 11 overs, 83 off 54 required.
Bill Gates holed out immediately in the 12th over, hitting the ball to Davids off Dwayne Brasco’s bowling. This brought another pretty important figure in the history of the world to the crease, in God. Although the best Richie Benaud could muster was to call him Goodwin, there was a unanimous feeling of respect for God from both spectators and opponents. This feeling of respect eased off when he spooned his first ball and was fortunate to escape, with it just squeezing between two fielders to get God off the mark with a four. He followed it up with two sixes, taking the team’s total to 4/205 off 12 overs, 67 off 48 required.
The 13th over brought about the half century of the greatest lawyer there ever was, Denny Crane. It was an 18-ball 55* that was made look like a 17-ball 55* by the arguably incompetent EA Sports, but either way he had made a lot of runs and made them fast. A true captain’s knock, as would be expected, because Denny Crane has met every other challenge life has thrown at him, making this game pale in comparison. The Famous XI moved on to 4/218 as a result of this 13 run over, 54 off 42 required.
The next over was a successful one for the West Indies, picking up the wickets of the possibly the world’s greatest ever rock singer and definitely the world’s greatest ever attorney in the space of two balls. Denny Crane edged one to the keeper attempting a gentle on drive, a shot that would have only gotten him one anyway, and in hindsight, a shot that would have been a waste of his time as a batsman and our time as spectators. The next ball, Freddie Mercury, being a man that likes to go the other way sometimes, attempted a reverse sweep first ball, only to see it spoon up into Brian Lawrence’s waiting hands. Watching the ball drop down was a bit like waiting for a hammer to fall. He loved his reverse sweep, but as we all know, too much love will kill you. Osama bin Laden came in and hit the hattrick ball for two, taking the Famous XI to 6/222 off 14 overs, 50 off 36 required now.
As everyone expected, the batting partnership between God and Osama was one to watch. One of them being a creator of the universe, the other being a destroyer of the universe, there was always that niggling feeling that they wouldn’t see eye to eye on all aspects of life. But their running between wickets was surprisingly sensational, racing the long on fieldsman to pick up two runs on three occasions. The over also included a big six from God, who showed himself to be an angrier unit than was anticipated. This moved them to 6/233 off 15 overs, with 39 off 30 required now, and the Famous XI’s prospects looking strong in the safe hands of God and Osama bin Laden.

Famous XI aren't doing to bad, they just need a few more runs and they should get over the line. This partnership between God and Osama needs to take them to the end or very close to it.
Yeah im pretty sure it could take them to the end....OF THE WORLD!!
Nice stuff Tassie, Loving the story
