Was expecting more from my openers not enough carnage until here.

Code:
8.3 	6	Mcdougal to Steele
 	 	Steele comes down the track to a full ball outside off stump, sends it a country mile over long on, an almighty hit of biblical proportions. Time for a replacement ball it seems. That one's long gone!

End of Over 9: 51-0, runrate=5.67
Mcdougal 5-0-32-0
Steele* 22 (21 balls)
Liddle 27 (33 balls)
 
13.4 W Longrigg to Luvoyo
'HOWZAT!' as the dull thud of the batsman's pad is heard.

Opposition 1/72.
 
Liddle is loving his 6s.

12.2 6 Kirton to Liddle
That's gone an absolute country mile!

14.6 6 Kirton to Liddle
New ball please! That one has disappeared out of town.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

2 6s in 2 balls now go you Baggy Blues

Code:
15.1 	6	Pearson to Steele
 	 	That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it, super shot that, six runs to Steele.

End of Over 16: 102-0, runrate=6.38

Are you in 20/20mode?
 
In between it seems, I wouldn't be too happy with 113 from my 20 overs.

Getting my own medicine put to me here, can't seem to put his bowlers away now tha the fielding restrictions have come on.

End of Over 20: 113-0, runrate=5.65
Pearson 5-0-25-0
Steele* 49 (54 balls)
Liddle 59 (66 balls)

20.5 1 Wills to Steele
Could have gone for two but Steele looks a little too laid back for that.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Oh yea this is another 100+ opening stand by my batters at my home ground on Sunday.

This is more like it

Code:
21.6 	4	Benitez to Liddle
 	 	That wasn't even a bad ball, it was just a super shot!
21.5 	3	Benitez to Steele
 	 	Solid stroke to long on but the fielder just beats the ball to the rope.
21.4 	1	Benitez to Liddle
 	 	Oops! A misfield off his own bowling allows Liddle through for a quick single.
21.3 	.	Benitez to Liddle
 	 	No run. The umpire is just having a quick look at the line of Benitez's follow through. Very close to the red zone.
21.2 	1	Benitez to Steele
 	 	Off his pads to square leg.
21.1 	2	Benitez to Steele
 	 	Flicked around the legs for two


End of Over 23: 130-0, runrate=5.65
Wills 2-0-6-0
Liddle* 65 (73 balls)
Steele 59 (65 balls)
 
I'll be doing that in my last game after I am 0/2!

Good to see my team has kept up a decent rate.

28.5 4 Wills to Steele
Steele uses his feet to get down the pitch and flay the ball to the point boundary.

29.2 4 Benitez to Steele
Wills has tripped and taken a nasty tumble trying to stop the ball and it's gone for four! Wills is up now, he's alright, only his pride is injured.

End of Over 30: 171-0, runrate=5.70
Benitez 10-0-56-0
Steele* 82 (91 balls)
Liddle 80 (92 balls)

If the double the score thing at 30 overs is accurate then I'm looking at 340!
 
End of Over 32: 175-2, runrate=5.47
Longrigg 6-0-25-1
Campbell* 49 (54 balls)
Keen 48 (59 balls)
Last Wicket: Luvoyo lbw b. Longrigg 27 (FOW: 75/2)

I'm gonna be chasing 300.
 
That guy is only 5 runs adrift from me and I have 2 wickets in hand. Not enough damage early on from my openers it appears.

Steele out short of his 100 :(

Code:
32.4 	W	Kirton to Steele
 	 	[COLOR=Red]A great shot by Steele, well at least by U11 standards. Kirton broke middle stump clean in half after the ball flicked the glove. That will hurt Steele's hand and his pride.[/COLOR]

Weaver making a bid to be promoted for the 20/20 though.
32.5 4 Kirton to Weaver
Full length ball on leg stump and Weaver flicks it off his legs to the backward square leg fence. Excellent timing.

End of Over 33: 187-1, runrate=5.67
Kirton 7-0-41-1
Liddle* 86 (101 balls)
Weaver 4 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Steele b. Kirton 88 (FOW: 183/1)
Still got my best batter to come won't have to do much yet again.

Liddle seems to love the Baggy Blues CG.
Code:
36.3 	4	Kirton to Liddle
 	 	Full ball outside off stump which is driven away on the up for four.
[COLOR=Green]And that's a century for Liddle! Well played indeed Sir![/COLOR]

End of Over 37: 219-1, runrate=5.92
Kirton 9-0-64-1
Liddle* 104 (113 balls)

Campbell* 90 (91 balls)
Keen 60 (76 balls)
Last Wicket: Luvoyo lbw b. Longrigg 27 (FOW: 75/2)
 
You have slowed them down very nicely. A wicket might mean you can restrict them under 300.

My guys are blasting off.

End of Over 41: 256-1, runrate=6.24
Mcdougal 6-0-41-0
Weaver* 35 (27 balls)
Liddle 121 (124 balls)
Last Wicket: Steele b. Kirton 88 (FOW: 183/1)

Grrr Liddle still unable to get much more than 120

41.2 W Wills to Liddle
He's been bowled! A little inside edge took it onto the stumps, how unlucky can you get?

Chavhanga in now lets see if he can remain not out.

Excellent quickfire 50 from Weaver just what the doctor ordered

44.3 4 Mcdougal to Weaver
Forward and flicked past a diving mid wicket fielder for a boundary.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Here goes my King :)

47.2 6 Wills to Chavhanga
Chavhanga displays some nimble footwork to get to the pitch of the delivery, and then lifts the ball inside-out over extra cover. Six runs.

48.1 6 Mcdougal to Chavhanga
Very short and hooked over the mid wicket boundary.

49.3 6 Wills to Chavhanga
Straight shot, picked up to long on, lands on the right side of the rope for a six.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

49.4 4 Wills to Chavhanga
He took the risk of playing across the line, but it paid off this time. Four runs.

49.6 3 Wills to Weaver
Very fine off the legs there. Some good, hard running from the batsmen sees them get three before the slip fielder manages to retrieve the ball.
End of Over 50: 346-2, runrate=6.92
Wills 10-0-77-1
Weaver* 69 (53 balls)

Last Wicket: Mansell c. Bridges b. Handbury 5 (FOW: 268/4)
 
Holly crap Sam getting whacked out of the park today.

1.1 6 Sam to Henshall
A lofted drive back over Sam's head; six of the best for that man!

1.6 4 Sam to Henshall
Wide of off stump and an outside edge to a vacant slip region. Third man was a bit wide to prevent the boundary.

End of Over 4: 27-0, runrate=6.75, reqrunrate=6.96 (346-2)
Sam 2-0-21-0
Liddle* 6 (9 balls)
Henshall 21 (15 balls)
