Nah suren, my team have slowed down too much as i wanted 350-400, still could get it though.

End of Over 17: 117-1, runrate=6.88
Cambridge 2-0-7-0
Nokwe* 74 (61 balls)
Watson 42 (40 balls)

Last Wicket: Moxey c. Ogrady b. Wessels 0 (FOW: 0/1)
 
well, the testing time is 25-40 Overs where things slow down more.. If you are able to maintain > 6RPO at 40 overs, you might get 320+ Jaz :)

haha PC that was such a tight game, good job :p

My cup game - won by 330 runs:)
Batting first made 386/2 - Mckenzie 71 off 64, Karthikeyan 116 off 90, Ahmed 96 of 84, and Rampaul 94 off 63

And then comming out to bowl, Masilo 7-1-26-4 and Rampaul 3.1-0-8-3 led the team to win
 
nice wins BC and PC... i have a tough friendly on sunday, but doesnt matter... i lost today. got skittled out for 86...
 
Oh man. I thought I was out! This must be one of the closest games:

Good win. I've had a closer game.

I lost by 4 runs about 2-3 weeks ago.

We can tell you that Gillys Demolition Team won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this partially cloudy and windy day.

Brilliant delivery followed by a wicket.

2.4 lb4 Caskey to Tandy
Extraordinary delivery, that clunked Tandy flush on the helmet but such is the pace of Caskey it has carried on, evaded the keeper and put a dent in the boundary boards too. Tandy will think twice before attempting another hook shot!

2.6 W Caskey to Tandy
That's in the air and...... out! Handbury won't get an easier catch all game.

End of Over 3: 14-1, runrate=4.67
Caskey 2-0-4-1
Shackell* 2 (6 balls)
Hitish 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Tandy c. Handbury b. Caskey 7 (FOW: 14/1)

End of Over 4: 17-1, runrate=4.25
Holland 2-0-14-1
Kagkwo* 7 (12 balls)
Rocastle 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Jabulile c. Dudgeon b. Holland 10 (FOW: 17/1)

Nice early wicket for me

What a catch! Dudgeon has launched himself 3 metres and has fully outstretched caught it in the tips of his gloves! Catch of the match! Decent ball by Holland too. Shaka and Shaka are going crazy with jubilation!
 
Oh boy I think I need to start batting first if I want my batters to get more runs.

0.5 W Hitish to Lipalesa
On his toes and off he goes! Hitish delivers a perfect yorker and Lipalesa is back in the pavilion!
1.6 W Ryan to Mcgrath
Excellent work by Sam, it was a brilliant throw, with only one stump to aim at, and he hit it. No need for the TV umpire this time!

4.3 W Hitish to Hislop
OUT! Hislop pulls a shortish one and Masibulele takes it above his head! Good catch.

End of Over 6: 14-3, runrate=2.33
Ryan 3-0-6-0
Searle* 10 (16 balls)
Hoyte 2 (8 balls)
Last Wicket: Hislop c. Masibulele b. Hitish 2 (FOW: 11/3)
 
Are you batting first, Syl?
Good stuff Binga. ;)

Expensive over. :(

End of Over 8: 42-1, runrate=5.25
Tahir 4-0-22-0
Hitish* 19 (17 balls)
Shackell 11 (19 balls)
Last Wicket: Tandy c. Handbury b. Caskey 7 (FOW: 14/1)

End of Over 8: 42-1, runrate=5.25
Tahir 4-0-22-0
Hitish* 19 (17 balls)
Shackell 11 (19 balls)
Last Wicket: Tandy c. Handbury b. Caskey 7 (FOW: 14/1)

I'm really in bad form. I can't even knock over a team that just joined 2 weeks ago!

Nah I wish I was though. Last thing I need is my NRR getting even higher.

Hehe I knew putting Ryan on attacking would give the opposition more runs.

Code:
End of Over 8: 40-3, runrate=5.00
Ryan	4-0-26-0
Hoyte*	8 (13 balls)
Searle	28 (24 balls)
Last Wicket: Hislop c. Masibulele b. Hitish 2 (FOW: 11/3)
7.6 	1	Ryan to Hoyte
 	 	Played out to extra cover for a single.
7.5 	1	Ryan to Searle
 	 	Neatly turned to fine leg for a single.
7.4 	2	Ryan to Searle
 	 	Picked up into the gap past a diving mid wicket fielder.
7.3 	4	Ryan to Searle
 	 	Great timing as the ball disappears through backward point for four runs.
7.2 	6	Ryan to Searle
 	 	Searle has really got hold of that one! It's gone high into the stands, straight to Dr Searle who promptly dropped it. Did he aim for his father?
7.2 	nb1	Ryan to Hoyte
 	 	no ball, Good yorker by Ryan. Hoyte does extremely well to clamp down on it. Hoyte calls his partner through for a quick single. Good cricket all round there.
7.1 	4	Ryan to Hoyte
 	 	Drives to extra cover and Chavhanga can't cut it off.
 
Why don't you want your NRR getting higher? That's good.

End of Over 10: 47-1, runrate=4.70
Tahir 5-0-23-0
Shackell* 14 (27 balls)
Hitish 21 (21 balls)
Last Wicket: Tandy c. Handbury b. Caskey 7 (FOW: 14/1)

Now, I only got 43,866 in gate receipts because of my bad form. :(

Wicket for you Syl. Nice.
Bowling well.

2nd wicket for Caskey. Followed by a six.

Code:
12.5 	6	Caskey to Byrne
 	 	Smacked the ball into the head of a small child who had to be taken to hospital!
12.4 	W	Caskey to Hitish
 	 	Where was Hitish going? He moved right out of the way of that super quick ball by Caskey, easily bowled out. Crazy batting!

Syl, you're on fire!
Binga, you got your second. Good stuff.

Code:
13.1 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Handbury to Shackell
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Bowlers live for moments like this. With a satisfying 'bink', the middle stump has been knocked clean out of the ground.[/COLOR]
Another wicket. They're 3 down now.

Code:
13.2 	.	Handbury to Hussain
 	 	That has missed everything and goes straight through to Bridges.
So close!

Lol I don't want to get promoted, last time I was in div 4 my team was falling to pieces. I'm going to need to rest a number of my players to even up the field.

Shorey sure does love getting a wicket in his first over.

10.1 W Shorey to Simms
Masibulele resembles a coiled spring as he jumps up with ball in glove. A thin edge from Simms and Shorey is delighted with his keeper.
13.1 W Hamed to Dingane
That's bowled Dingane, terrible shot that, I've seen better batters in a fish 'n' chip shop.
 
End of Over 14: 68-3, runrate=4.86
Handbury 2-1-5-1
Byrne* 6 (2 balls)
Hussain 0 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Shackell b. Handbury 23 (FOW: 68/3)

Good wicket maiden there.

Well you could just take it easy every single week.
