Team is self imploding down to my last noted all rounder and hes bearly one at that. Hopefully Chavhanga can keep most of the strike as that's the only way I'm going to win it now.

36.1 W Moodley to Hamed
Off the gloves into Cloete's hands... I'm not sure what's worse, being out or getting hit on the fingers with a ball of that speed. OUCH!

36.3 4 Moodley to Sam
Exquisite on drive for four. Impeccable timing and placement.

36.6 3 Moodley to Chavhanga
The ball is hit over the top and lands safely, stopping just short of the boundary.

Done it again sadly that was the only run off that over.

37.6 1 Sheppard to Chavhanga
Advanced, played around to the region of deep mid wicket for the single.

 

[angryangy]

Gearing up for an exciting finish.

 

[aussie1st]

Our matches never disappoint

Good stuff umpire

38.6 . Moodley to Sam
There's a sound as the ball clips the bat and goes through to Cloete who goes up in tandem with the fielders. Unbelievable! The umpire hasn't given it, he needs to turn his hearing aid up if he couldn't hear that edge.

End of Over 39: 152-6, runrate=3.90, reqrunrate=4.82 (204-10)
Moodley 8-0-38-1
Chavhanga* 75 (103 balls)

Last Wicket: Hamed c. Cloete b. Moodley 5 (FOW: 136/6)

 

[angryangy]

Oh! There it is!

 

[aussie1st]

The wall has been broken. Chavhanga finally out this season worst possible time for it to happen.

43.5 W Moodley to Chavhanga
Chavhanga smashes the ball straight back to Moodley, who puts out his hand and pushes the ball up in the air to be taken on the second attempt. Caught and bowled.

End of Over 45: 174-9, runrate=3.87, reqrunrate=6.20 (204-10)
Miah 8-2-32-4
Sam* 12 (16 balls)
Ryan 0 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Hitish c. Mametsa b. Miah 0 (FOW: 174/9)

Tail no hopers going to fall well short now.

44.2 W Miah to Hitish
That one reared up off a length, and Hitish top edges the pull straight down the throat of the man at square leg.
44.1 W Miah to Mohammed
Out!!! Mohammed was struck right in front of all three. If he was fixing a leaky pipe he couldn't have been plumber!

 

[angryangy]

Miah takes 5/32, vengeance for that 2/85 game.

 

[aussie1st]

Great game Angry, the pitch seemed to suit the pacemen more than the spinners.

Well deserved MOM to Miah.

Bennet gone after scoring a quick 50.
If i get one more wicket his fragile middle order will open up. just one. comon. just one more guys.

tough luck Syl..

And in my game, i am still not happy... Can someone go and tell these two that its time to fire,

End of Over 42: 200-2, runrate=4.76
Mckenna 6-0-29-0
Alshaun* 50 (61 balls)
Malik 83 (109 balls)
Last Wicket: Bartlett c. Hockley b. Howell 36 (FOW: 69/2)

I am worried abt the Runrate

The worst thing i didnt expect is departure of my skipper,

43.3 W Mckenna to Alshaun
Big inswinger and a massive inside edge. But he's given him!! Alshaun can't believe it, what a bad call from the umpire.

And,

43.6 W Mckenna to Malik
The bowler and the crowd go wild, while Malik hangs his head in shame as the umpire raises his finger to a clear LBW.

Things going worse and worse for me.. Guess, its just a lazy Sunday for my players..Nice bowling LF!

End of Over 44: 213-4, runrate=4.84
Mckenna 7-0-36-2
Field* 5 (2 balls)
Baloch 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Malik lbw b. Mckenna 86 (FOW: 213/4)

 

[Gilly Fan]

I've watched the end of the World Cup Final and I've calmed down. I can't believe how much Mark Nicholas was exagerating how dark it was!

 

[surendar]

Well, my team managed to cross 250 in the end,

End of Over 50: 268-5, runrate=5.36
Mckenna 10-0-68-2
Clarke* 27 (16 balls)
Field 32 (20 balls)
Last Wicket: Baloch c. Cockerill b. Mellor 1 (FOW: 218/5)

Target is 269.. It all depends on my bowlers! Great batting from Field and Clarke in th end, but the way we started slowly was the disappointing factor!

Lets see what happens.... am not much confident though!:

 

[zainawan89]

End of Over 50: 258-9, runrate=5.16
Ettienne 10-0-57-4
Rudi* 77 (83 balls)
Folkes 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Tuckett c. Hansen b. Ettienne 6 (FOW: 254/9)

Not what i wanted. No hope i hav no trust in my batting.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

2.3 W Folkes to Ettienne
Out! An absolute gem of a catch. Giddings has taken that one-handed catch inches from the ground, diving to his right-hand side in the deep point position. Ettienne is stunned.

3.2 W Rudi to Hansen
That one seemed to stick in Rudi's hand, he looks almost as shocked as Hansen!

4.2 W Folkes to Kampa
That has jagged back off the seam and hit the top of the off stump. Spearitt catches the bail and hands it to the umpire

.
Hansen's wicket was big. That one pretty much has sealed the deal for Zain.

End of Over 9: 35-3, runrate=3.89, reqrunrate=5.46 (258-9)
Folkes 5-0-13-2
Ibbrahim* 4 (8 balls)
Heath 20 (25 balls)

Last Wicket: Kampa b. Folkes 1 (FOW: 10/3)

End of Over 16: 91-3, runrate=5.69, reqrunrate=4.94 (258-9)
Crouch 3-0-28-0
Ibbrahim* 39 (34 balls)
Heath 39 (42 balls)

Last Wicket: Kampa b. Folkes 1 (FOW: 10/3)

Heat and Ibbrahim staging a good comeback here, taking a special liking to Crouch...

 

[surendar]

Well missed the later part of my match.. i.e Broady's team chase. Just was in time to see the results though

My team bowlers managed to get regular wickets and got my team for a 102 runs victory :happy

6.5 	W	Macdonald to Blair
 	 	Goes back to a full ball and gets absolutely done. Hits him on the toe and the umpire had no choice but to give that one out! A bit of mis-judgment from Blair there.
13.1 	W	Love to Cockerill
 	 	If Cockerill had two bats, he wouldn't have gotten to that. Mischief and mayhem from Love there.
13.4 	W	Love to Thay
 	 	Excellent work by Hamed, it was a brilliant throw, with only one stump to aim at, and he hit it. No need for the TV umpire this time!
16.1 	W	Bolland to Mckenna
 	 	He's hit that hard...Wait! It's been gobbled up in the deep! Great Catch!
17.4 	W	Hamed to Dangasela
 	 	A mix up between the batsmen results in Dangasela being stranded as Rampaul whips off the bails.
26.1 	W	Bolland to Ingram
 	 	Gotcha! Round the wicket and the ball pitches on middle and turns away. Ingram tries to drive through the on side but can't account for the spin after the ball grips the surface. Loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger.
37.4 	W	Love to Mellor
 	 	Slight movement away from him and a thin edge is taken by Rampaul.
38.4 	W	Macdonald to Howell
 	 	Attempts the cut but the ball is lower than Howell anticipated and he only succeeds in chopping it onto his own stumps! Bowled him, albeit with some assistance!
39.4 	W	Love to Wingham
 	 	His concentration has let him down there, pathetic effort from Wingham off what was an average delivery. That won't matter to Love though, a wicket's a wicket.
39.3 	W	Love to Sadlier
 	 	Thick edge from Sadlier and the ball travelled very quickly to first slip. He manages to parry it up and Rampaul is alert and dives full stretch to take the catch.

So thats it... Its all over, Hunting Tigers win by 102 runs :cool:

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 102 runs.
HuntingTigers 268-5
Broady 166-10

Love finished with the spell of 9-1-27-4

 

[Jaztheman]
