Well, my match has started and going to be finished infact

We can tell you that john_11 won the toss and elected to bat.

And the wickets fell next after next..... :cool:

2.4 	W	Macdonald to Padayachie
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Field dives spectacularly to his left, catching the ball with one hand. Unbelievable! That was a real 'Champagne Moment'.[/COLOR]
7.4 	W	Love to Abdul kadir
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Out. A top edged pull shot is taken by Baloch diving to his left.[/COLOR]
9.5 	W	Love to Mohammed
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]The batting team looks on in disbelief as Alshaun takes an unbelievable catch at cover, diving to his left and catching the ball one handed in mid-air. The fielding team is jubilant.[/COLOR]
14.3 	W	Hamed to Malik
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Malik got that sweep shot terribly wrong. He missed it by a mile and the bail has been dislodged. He threw his wicket away there, and he knows it as he trudges back to the pavilion.[/COLOR]
15.1 	W	Mulligan to Hamed
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Gone! Mulligan nails Hamed! Landed on a length, around middle stump, moved in and Hamed was beaten on the forward prod. It was probably hitting the leg stump. The umpire agrees.[/COLOR]
16.6 	W	Hamed to Alshaun
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]He's gone for a reverse sweep, mistimed it, and you don't get much more plumb than that![/COLOR]
20.4 	W	Hamed to Mohammed
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Mohammed practices bolting the stable door while Rampaul starts to reset the stumps.[/COLOR]
25.3 	W	Wotton to Moodley
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Moodley tries something special, but is made to look foolish as the wickets spread like butter.[/COLOR]
26.3 	W	Hamed to Paki
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]The only thing the ball was missing was the bat.[/COLOR]
26.3 	W	Hamed to Paki

Hamed finished with 7-2-10-5 :happy

So, the target was 67 Runs.... And chase began with Rampaul going for duck which was unexpected though,

0.2 W Naidoo to Rampaul
That's hit him above the knee-roll. Rampaul won't be pleased with that decision.

Yeah, not pleased with the decision : And the scorecard,

End of Over 4: 14-1, runrate=3.50, reqrunrate=1.15 (66-10)
Paki 2-0-10-0
Malik* 3 (10 balls)
Bartlett 11 (12 balls)

And in my match, when the target was coming close, Malik departs...

10.5 W Naidoo to Malik
What a rip snorter of a delivery!! The ball swung in and nipped away smashing into off stump. The bewildered Malik heads back to the pavilion.

How cud you, Malik??? And soon next over, winning runs came,

11.6 2 Moodley to Bartlett
Full delivery, flicked to deep backward square, deep mid wicket fielding.

So thats it... Hunting Tigers Win by 8 wickets.

Thanks. I'm playing this team next week in my league. So hopefully I can pull out a win this time. He can have a win in a friendly any time. I'll have the league win.

Oh god. I wish I could've batted that well today! :hpraise

[voldemort]

33.6 6 Murphy to Kuruppu
Six runs! Kuruppu is a magician with the bat, he has made that ball disappear.

End of Over 34: 84-7, runrate=2.47
Murphy 7-0-27-1
Kamalasuriya* 25 (54 balls)
Kuruppu 6 (4 balls)

nopes, not good... apparently kamalasuriya has wages of 1k and while i am speaking this, poke gave away 7 off the last over...

36.6 4 Poke to Kamalasuriya
And he has smashed that very hard indeed, right out of the meat of the bat.

runs are leaking :

End of Over 37: 100-7, runrate=2.70
Poke 9-3-25-3
Kuruppu* 8 (11 balls)
Kamalasuriya 38 (65 balls)

I suppose it is upto Ryno and Illanganage to clean them up...

End of Over 40: 110-7, runrate=2.75
Murphy 10-1-34-1
Kuruppu* 13 (21 balls)
Kamalasuriya 42 (73 balls)

Both ended on decent figures... 3 more wicktes fell, Ryno claimed two of them...

End of Over 45: 124-10, runrate=2.76

Kamalasuriya not out at 52

Ryno 7-3-7-2 cool for a v.defensive...

 

[aussie1st]

Geez that is an awesome performance there Voldy.

 

[handsome]

End of Over 11: 69-0, runrate=6.27, reqrunrate=6.08 (305-8)
Heller 1-0-9-0
Tau* 33 (39 balls)
Mohammed 32 (27 balls)

Bowlers taking a hammering , it's not looking very good , seems they'll chase the total with ease

49.6 W Ghandi to Heller
OUT! That little inch of seam has put Heller in all sorts of bother and he's trapped LBW.
49.5 W Ghandi to Richardson
That's an absolute peach of a delivery, finds the edge, and Ahmed takes it at the second attempt.
49.4 1 Ghandi to Malik
Angled in, managed to steer it into the gap, deep cover doing the fielding.
49.3 . Ghandi to Malik
That's just too good for Malik. Pitched and left him off the seam.
49.2 W Ghandi to Allan
Allan went for the big hit, and Mohammed has comfortably taken it.
49.1 W Ghandi to Stride
Out! Short ball that kept low and crashed into Stride's pads. The umpire had no other option than to raise his finger and send Stride packing!

Gosh , this was the last over when i batted. Could be the difference.

 

[aussie1st]

Lol that is some carnage. 300 is a good total, 280 is where you should feel under pressure.
