Commentary Thread

[PhilD123]

I've made a decent start to my innings, but the RRR is way too high, theres only one possible outcome in this game unfortunately.

End of Over 8: 43-0, runrate=5.38, reqrunrate=7.24 (346-3)
Sadlier	4-0-18-0
Cullingford*	23 (26 balls)
Fisher	19 (23 balls)

Ah, I spoke too soon, Cullingford gone for 23.

8.1 	W	Mellor to Cullingford
 	 	Must be LBW. Must be LBW! MUST BE LBW! It's carnival time for Mellor

I'm sure that commentary line is Mark Nicholas'.

Phils firmly in control of this one

End of Over 18: 110-1, runrate=6.11, reqrunrate=7.41 (346-3)
Mckenna 4-0-25-0
Fisher* 48 (50 balls)
Collins 34 (32 balls)
Last Wicket: Cullingford lbw b. Mellor 23 (FOW: 43/1)

 

[PhilD123]

Lol, how am I in control when the RRR's above 7!

Fishers got his 50

18.4 	1	Wingham to Fisher
 	 	Guided away to third man for an easy single.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 20: 121-1, runrate=6.05, reqrunrate=7.53 (346-3)
Mckenna	5-0-33-0

Bugger fell short of a 301 chase

Shorey the pick of my bowlers with 2/44 and then made a quickfire 33 off 19.
My final score 8/298 2 wickets when on 294
Chavhanga out but managed a quick fire 75 in 56 balls and Steele 99 in 112 balls. No idea how that Fordham got MOM of Steele.

It was a home game and he's 17!!!

LOL, it was always going to be one of my players :


Must admit thought didn't think you'd get that close, but I was playing a seriously under strenght team.

You read my press release about your players??

 

[aussie1st]

My batting is my strength just Weaver was a bit slow and my number 5 didn't do as much as I would have liked.

Pretty sure I've seen MOM given to guys in a losing team happened in one of my league matches.

Players are all wasted after all that drinking now

 

[surendar]

It was a fantastic game .... Very close and Tough luck Syl...

 

[aussie1st]

Thanks Suren

Found the match where my player got MOM on a losing side.

[jdeus]

I know its possible but Im just saying.... actually..... having looked at the scorecard again what about your opener?? He got 99, at a faster rate than Fordham too!

Erm, maybe it was a glitch?

But does it really matter?

 

[aussie1st]

Nah makes no difference just wondering why he didn't get it.

 

[jdeus]

I have got to admit though your team will have a good chance next season in winning a game or two. After running mine pretty close, its a positive step for next season.

But hey one week left before we find out our leagues!

 

[aussie1st]

Thanks Just need my guys to develop and to find a bowler or two so that my batters don't have to chase so much.
Yea definitely can't wait to the league draws come out I really want to see what BT serves me this time.

 

[jdeus]

I wonder if you'll be saying that in a weeks time :

 

[Leicester Fox]

oh yeah i beat Phil yesterday despite him getting to 300. Shows what type of pitch it was. He just didn't have anyone to play Blairs innings.

Broady 346-3
Deasey Athletic's 317-5

Quite a high scoring match similar to the one I had the previous week. Clearly bowling isn't your strong point either!
