[aussie1st]

At least you will be able to boost up your average of your batters Suren.
In the bag already Voldy.
You should have a chaseable total hand.

Awesome cash

And handy, they are accelerating well.. U need to apply brakes.

And in my match, Baloch got a breakthrough in his last over....last ball, :happy

39.6 W Baloch to Singh lali
Stick a fork in Singh lali - he's done! Clean bowled!

He finished his spell with : Baloch 10-3-25-2

Then Love was back into attack and recieved a massive six

40.2 6 Love to Singh lali
Launched a rocket with that shot. Six all the way!

Then a revenge :cool:

40.6 W Love to Singh lali
Beatuiful inswinging yorker. Singh lali doesnt move his feet in time and hit hit firmly in line. The umpire made a sound decision there!

That Cash is on fire good thing you got rid of Hilton

Won't be chasing very much again Suren. Wish my bowlers would do that once in a while.

cup gams are hard on those who are in lower divisions

27.4 W Murphy to Gallage
Ball pitched outside off, Gallage attempts to cut, gets a thick inside edge and makes a mess of his stumps.

Thats 3-3 between Cash and Murhpy.

End of Over 28: 103-9, runrate=3.68
Murphy 4-1-6-3
Rupusinghe* 6 (11 balls)
Wijesinghe 0 (2 balls)

Murphy is batting at 3. so if a wicket of mine falls, Murphy can claim MOTM

Recieving some smashings ,

41.1 	[B]4[/B]	Wotton to Islam
 	 	Split the field superbly, and even an energetic dive from Love cannot prevent the ball rolling over the rope for four. Superb shot selection from Islam
41.5 	[B]4[/B]	Wotton to Islam
 	 	That's four all the way.
41.4 	[B]3[/B]	Wotton to Govender
 	 	Didn't quite time it. Govender got a fair chunk of bat on it, but it won't reach the rope. It's an energy-sapping chase for Rampaul though, who eventually collects the ball at long on and heaves it wearily back to Wotton. Three runs.
42.1 	[B]4[/B]	Love to Islam
 	 	Ooh ? Islam was quickly onto that and punishes Love for what really was a playground delivery.
42.4 	[B]4[/B]	Love to Govender
 	 	Stunning fielding from Macdonald. The third umpire is going to have a look and yes, his arm just touched the rope before he could get rid of the ball. Unlucky.

I didnt expect this But oh..well.. Got a wicket next over

43.1 W Wotton to Islam
Deceived by the pace of the ball, that's popped up nicely for Wotton to palm.. and that's out, caught and bowled by Wotton.

Scorecard,

End of Over 43.1: 157-9, runrate=3.65
Love 7-0-27-3
Islam* 28 (33 balls)
Govender 7 (5 balls)

Won't be chasing very much again Suren. Wish my bowlers would do that once in a while.

hehe Syl.. But they(my bowlers) always fail to do so against BaggyBlues especially Love!

My match has been going really well!

 End of Over 42: 144-10, runrate=3.43
Govender	8-0-37-3

@Suren : You should win this one easily!
@Handsome : It looks an even contest! Good luck!
@Syl : Thats a terrific win!

Everybody's doing well .I must say this is my first battrick match, so in that sense i have done a decent job .

47.2 4 Allan to Malik
Gorgeous cover drive.
47.1 1 Allan to Ahmed
Great shot by Ahmed and a superb piece of fielding by cover means it's only a single. Good cricket all round.

End of Over 47: 223-7, runrate=4.74
Sanders 9-0-37-4
Ahmed* 18 (14 balls)
Malik 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Paki c. Allan b. Sanders 0 (FOW: 223/7)


46.6 W Sanders to Paki
Someone call the paramedics, that's gone straight down the throat of Allan!
46.5 W Sanders to Singh lali
Singh lali marched down the wicket and had a wild swing at the ball, missed it by a mile and Richardson was quick to whip the bails off. Good wicketkeeping.

 

[surendar]

45.6 W Macdonald to Govender
Macdonald ripped Govender's middle stump out of the ground and the crowd has errupted. A magnificent yorker.

Gradley 6-1-29-1
Wijesinghe* 3 (11 balls)

32.5 W Cash to Wijesinghe
That's a great shot by Wijesinghe, but unfortunately it is matched by a great catch from Overton and he's out!

End of Over 33: 111-10, runrate=3.36

Cash ends 4/25 on a Green pitch...

That's it 252 to chase. My batsman are all mediocre , any chances of chasing with thier respectable bowling.

 

[aussie1st]

The big guns have come and blown their teams away
Could go either way handsome, my first game in BT a cup game as well managed to chase 260+.

Thanks for that aussie1st. I hope to bat 50 overs. That's my target.

 

[surendar]

yea for me too.. My first BT league game also ended up with chasing 270+. It was a unforgettable match ever for me.. becos, i was 188/8 and ended up with 276/8 in 49th over for a win

Btw, a good positive start in chase,
