2.5 W Otto to Conelly
Big appeal for a catch at silly mid on. GIVEN!

And another one!

End of Over 3: 13-3, runrate=4.33
Otto 2-1-5-3
Crouch* 8 (9 balls)
Rudi 2 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Conelly c. Heath b. Otto 3 (FOW: 11/3)

EDIT -

End of Over 5: 29-3, runrate=5.80
Otto 3-1-11-3
Crouch* 21 (15 balls)
Rudi 5 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Conelly c. Heath b. Otto 3 (FOW: 11/3)

I've started well, but Crouch is looking ominous. Need to get him quickly...

EDIT 2 - Otto you beauty!

8.6 W Otto to Rudi
Thick edge from Rudi and it's hit Basson in the leg at slip! It's in the air, it must be. Yes, Basson caught it! OUT!

End of Over 9: 47-4, runrate=5.22
Otto 5-1-18-4
Crouch* 31 (29 balls)
Bunn 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Rudi c. Basson b. Otto 11 (FOW: 47/4)

Can you please get Crouch now?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Crouch onto 40. I didn't expect Conelly and Dunn to last around long honestly. But a duck and 3. Not good. Rudi was very dissapointing. I think he hates batting, despite his talent. Has about the same skills as Crouch...
This should give Bunn, Dennis, Bolder and Andrews some batting practice. They have been needing it.

14.4 4 Bowditch to Crouch
A dolly delivered full and wide outside off stump. Crouch's eyes are like saucers as he thrashes it to the extra cover boundary.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Crouch you beauty!

End of Over 21: 103-4, runrate=4.90
Bowditch 4-0-23-0
Crouch* 67 (70 balls)
Bunn 19 (31 balls)

Last Wicket: Rudi c. Basson b. Otto 11 (FOW: 47/4)

Re-building, Crouch continuing to look good. Dennis yet to come, and Andrews and Bolder able to bat a bit.

 

[zainawan89]

lol Unlucky Zain mate when i finish my cup i wana hammer u too

I am not going to play any one now with a stronger team. With this i lost morale and other things. From now on i will play some teams of my level.
And good match there Zorax and fredie.

End of Over 27: 133-4, runrate=4.93
Bowditch 7-0-45-0
Crouch* 76 (89 balls)
Bunn 37 (50 balls)

Last Wicket: Rudi c. Basson b. Otto 11 (FOW: 47/4)

Looking a lot better now. Bunn on route for a 50, Crouch could possibly get a century here...

 

[hassan]

yeah ur rocking r u?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

yeah ur rocking r u?

I don't know if you are serious, sarcastic, or for some reason mad at me...

Anyways...

End of Over 29: 139-4, runrate=4.79
Bowditch 8-0-48-0
Crouch* 81 (98 balls)
Bunn 38 (53 balls)

Last Wicket: Rudi c. Basson b. Otto 11 (FOW: 47/4)

If they can hang in for 7-8 more overs, I may be well set for 260+. Ofcourse, it all depends on how long they last, and how much Dennis scores.

 

[hassan]

um... NO... i was just um asking

 

[ZoraxDoom]

34.6 1 Griffin to Bunn
Bunn's worked that nicely between the fielders for a single
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Well played indeed.

End of Over 35: 158-4, runrate=4.51
Griffin 6-0-20-0
Bunn* 50 (75 balls)
Crouch 88 (112 balls)

Last Wicket: Rudi c. Basson b. Otto 11 (FOW: 47/4)

100 runs between this pair, its time now to accelerate.

 

[FreddieFan]

Yep, its been a good partnership although with a run rate of only 4.75 I'd argue we're pretty even at the moment.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 37: 177-4, runrate=4.78
Griffin 7-0-25-0
Crouch* 96 (116 balls)
Bunn 56 (83 balls)

Last Wicket: Rudi c. Basson b. Otto 11 (FOW: 47/4)

19 runs off the last 2 overs. The acceleration has begun. Crouch is nearing the century. Don't expect Bunn to hang around much longer, he has poor stamina. Infact, I hope he gets out when the 40th over starts and that Dennis enters...

 

[FreddieFan]

19 runs off the last 2 overs. The acceleration has begun.

Then 6 off the next two The acceleration has stopped again

A Crouch century is pretty inevitable here. Still, the relatively slow run rate means that I'm still definately in with a shout.

40.3 4 Fieldwick to Crouch
That wasn't even a bad ball, it was just a super shot!
And that's a century for Crouch! Well played indeed Sir!

Ryan -The Legend- Crouch!!!
:hpraise

End of Over 41: 203-4, runrate=4.95
Fieldwick 6-0-45-0
Bunn* 74 (100 balls)
Crouch 103 (124 balls)

Last Wicket: Rudi c. Basson b. Otto 11 (FOW: 47/4)

4 boundaries in the last 2 over. Time for fireworks. If Bunn hangs in there, he could get a century too...

 

[FreddieFan]

41.2 W Griffin to Crouch
No-one could've played that. Beautiful delivery.

Huge wicket for me.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Crouch gone! Ah well, he needs the rest, he's is gonna open the bowling too!! And this makes room for the TT Lions version of Shahid Afridi - skipper Arthur Dennis!!

41.2 W Griffin to Crouch
No-one could've played that. Beautiful delivery.

I am not going to play any one now with a stronger team. With this i lost morale and other things. From now on i will play some teams of my level.
And good match there Zorax and fredie.

Can I just make it clear to everyone that losing or winning friendlies have NO effect of members sponsors or anything. They only affect 1/3 of the players' personal fitness.
