The MB CUP
Cheesesarni wins the inaugural Monty Burns Cup! Congratulations! He came and took the tournament by storm, arriving only in the 3rd round and losing only once. 500,000 vCash prize for the champion!
My thanks to all who played, the tournament was a smashing success and the second edition will start shortly after the Champions Trophy Tournament.
Final 1: Cheesesarni: 135/9 vs Gougie 56 all out
Final 2: Gougie: 36 all out vs Cheesesarnie37-0
Finals Summaries:
Final 1:Tight bowling from gougie made scoring very hard with only C White (54) contributing runs in the top order, when he fell the AUSSIES were 72/7, then McDonald and Lee came together and repaired some of the damage, with Mcdonald scoring 34 with the tail to get to a respectable score off 135/9.
In reply gougie (South Africa) never came to terms with the conditions, or the quick bowling of cheesesarni, after slipping to 4/4 off 2overs, gougie never got back into the game, with only AB making double figures, but once he fell for 34 the game was all but over, and gougie slumped to a very disappointing 56 all out.
Final 2: After a steady start Gougie was around 20-2 off the first 6 overs. Some good variations in bowling and smart field placings made it difficult to score. The match changed in the 6th over Ben Hilfenhouse taking 5 wickets. Soon after the innings came to an end 36 all out.
Cheesesarni knowing he only needed 37 to win threw caution to the wind plundering the ball to the boundry ending the match and the final in 2.5 overs.

Round 3 Summary.
-A dead rubber for the top of Group B saw LeftArmFast beating amjad9 by 10 wickets after bowling him out for 47.
-Cheesesarni won the toss and decided to bat. After getting off to a quick start 49-1 off 6 the good batting continued up until the 10th over 95-1. However Xtremedesix pulled the game back with some good bowling limiting Cheese to 182-9 off 20 overs. Xtremedesix got off to a steady start 30 odd off the first 6 overs with the loss of 1 wicket. The bowlers then started to turn the screw and has the run rate started to rise the wickets started to fall and he was all out for 149 from 18.4 overs 33 runs short of there target.
-After a quick start for cheesesarni scoring 60 odd in the power play overs Legendboy came back strong in the middle overs taking wickets at vital times with good disciplined quick bowling. With cheesesarni not taking full advantage of the 20 overs available the match was evenly poised.
Cheesesarni bowled tight in the first 6 overs not giving many runs away but Legendboy was up with the run rate for the loss of 3 wickets after 6 overs. With Paul Collingwood holding the innings together and a quickfire 21 from Sidebottom the match looked close but with the tail exposed Cameron White came on to take 3 wickets and close out the match with a 23 run victory to Cheesesarni.
-Early pressure by cheesesarnie kept the score down to 30 odd for 3, before a good 4th wicket stand of 100, kept the innings going and an unbroken stand of 40 odd, pushed Gougie up to 201/8. In reply cheesesarnie never got his timing going, you could tell it was his first game back after his holiday 59 all out. Gougie wins Group A (3 wins, 0 losses), in convincing fashion, averaging 209.3 runs a game and 10.9 per wicket. Well done mate!

This victory should see Gougie into the semi finals and he is currently the highest run scorer after 2 matches played.
