Bad luck Gilly just a little too much.
Hopefully you can get a 100 at least BC.

34.3 6 Mohammed to Karthikeyan
Bang! Six of the best, that's how to play cricket!
And that's a century for Karthikeyan! Well played indeed Sir!
34.2 4 Mohammed to Karthikeyan
Flayed through the off side field for four.

What a way to get hundred Debut match for my team and a maiden hundred as well

46.2 	W	Bangash to Charlton
 	 	What a catch! Akmal has launched himself 3 metres and has fully outstretched caught it in the tips of his gloves! Catch of the match! Decent ball by Bangash too. Corbett and Corbett are going crazy with jubilation!

*Sigh*. My new batsmen haven't stopped me from massive collapses.

I've lost 5/29

End of Over 47: 248-7, runrate=5.28, reqrunrate=17.67 (300-7)
Bangash 9-0-62-1
Caskey* 2 (3 balls)
Handbury 3 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Charlton c. Akmal b. Bangash 0 (FOW: 245/7)

What a crap day. I had high hopes after 20 overs.

36.4 6 Ghandi to Alshaun
Willow - leather - boundary. That's six!

Alshaun bring up the 100 :happy well done lad

End of Over 37: 104-9, runrate=2.81
Ghandi 7-2-22-1
Masilo* 1 (14 balls)
Alshaun 9 (13 balls)

Last Wicket: Ahmed c. Grewcock b. Langer 15 (FOW: 94/9)

they were jus delaying the inevitable.

37.4 W Thabang to Masilo
Masilo goes for the on-drive, but gets a thick edge. Caulfield dives like a goalie and snags it brilliantly.

104 Allout...

Corbett 9-0-41-3
Handbury* 5 (5 balls)
Caskey 8 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Charlton c. Akmal b. Bangash 0 (FOW: 245/7)

Why can't all my batsmen perform well at the one time. It's always one or 2 batsmen doing well and the rest failing.

End of Over 49: 262-7, runrate=5.35, reqrunrate=39.00 (300-7)

End of Over 37: 234-0, runrate=6.32
Mohammed 7-1-26-0
Karthikeyan* 103 (112 balls)
Paki 107 (113 balls)


36.6 . Mohammed to Paki
Terribly unlucky. A beautiful straight drive from Paki, but right into the stumps at the non-striker's end.
36.5 . Mohammed to Paki
Paki gets into line early and plays an immaculate forward defensive.
36.4 . Mohammed to Paki
Paki, on the front foot, defends to the cover region. Malik moves across and prevents a single.
36.3 1 Mohammed to Karthikeyan
That's good cricket, batsmen run for a single.
36.2 1 Mohammed to Paki
The batsman comes down the pitch but he can only force a single to mid wicket.
36.1 . Mohammed to Paki
Mohammed comes around the wicket and it?s a very good ball. Nicely played.

End of Over 36: 232-0, runrate=6.44
Dangasela 8-0-40-0
Paki* 106 (108 balls)
Karthikeyan 102 (111 balls)


35.6 . Dangasela to Karthikeyan
Has that hit something on the pitch? It's not often Dangasela will get one to bounce that much. Well bowled.
35.5 1 Dangasela to Paki
Forward, stroked to the off, extra cover fielding.
35.4 1 Dangasela to Karthikeyan
Opened the face of the bat, guided to third man as the fielder runs in from the boundary.
35.3 . Dangasela to Karthikeyan
That one's nipped back off the seam and nearly cut him in half!
35.2 . Dangasela to Karthikeyan
Nipped back, on the back foot and stroked down to mid on.
35.1 . Dangasela to Karthikeyan
Fullish, straight ball, shuffles forward, watchfully stroking it straight to mid wicket off the toes.

Last 2 overs only four runs came

 

[Gilly Fan]

Look what I just found.

46.2 W Bangash to Charlton
What a catch! Akmal has launched himself 3 metres and has fully outstretched caught it in the tips of his gloves! Catch of the match! Decent ball by Bangash too. Corbett and Corbett are going crazy with jubilation!

Yet only 1 Corbett is playing today.

Gillys Demolition Team have selected Myall, Saich, Bridges, Vusi, Riley, Barraclough, Handbury, Charlton, Caskey, Longrigg, Tahir.

Cornered-Tigers have picked Sattar, Moosa, Zahid, Wajahat, Fawad, Akmal, Bangash, Ur-rehman, Kamal, Farruhk, Corbett.

I lose 2 wickets to finish off the match.

	 0 (0 balls)
 
49.6 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Corbett to Longrigg
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Longrigg advances down the ground and wallops it towards the long on boundary. Great take by Bangash though![/COLOR]
49.5 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Corbett to Handbury
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]That's a rocket! But it's hit right at Zahid, he juggles it and makes the catch. Outstanding fielding![/COLOR]

Game over.

And that's the end of the match. Cornered-Tigers won by 32 runs.
Cornered-Tigers 300-7

Reporter's Summary
Gillys Demolition Team Cornered-Tigers
Top Order: feeble feeble
Middle Order: woeful feeble
Lower Order: abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: feeble woeful
Spin Bowling: woeful feeble
Fielding: woeful woeful
MOTM: Corbett

 

[aussie1st]

Pretty evenly matched just your seam bowling didn't stack up while his spin bowling did.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

End of Over 41: 255-1, runrate=6.22
Singh lali 6-0-47-0
Viduka* 3 (7 balls)
Karthikeyan 121 (127 balls)

Viduka needs to move fast : he is not playing in his usual style :

 

[voldemort]

Sinhala Ranaweera vs Mansfield Warriors

Has a remarkable/med batting, strong/comp bowling... But he has rested two of his guys. I lost the toss and am batting

End of Over 28: 145-4, runrate=5.18
Hackworth 9-0-69-0
Aziz* 39 (44 balls)
Stanley 37 (52 balls)

Aziz is hitting boundaries at the moment... good for a Green pitch

 

[aussie1st]

Still doing well WC.

Your batters are going well against a strong bowling attack, none of the slow down in run rate that you see usually.

 

[viral1991]

I am playing Maxkarter's team today!

End of Over 29: 156-4, runrate=5.38
Breen	8-0-36-1
Robson*	39 (66 balls)
Malik	10 (36 balls)
Last Wicket: Harley st. Noon b. Breen 52 (FOW: 118/4)

Harley played really well! I am expecting a score of around 285+!

@WC : Karthikeyan is playing superbly! You should reach around 325 runs from here!

 

[handsome]

I am playing jdeus today. No chance of winning but still am giving it a try.

He is batting first on a cracked pitch. I wanted to bat first

End of Over 12: 69-0, runrate=5.75
Malik 1-0-6-0
Howard* 31 (33 balls)
Siddiq 36 (40 balls)

Spinners are on now. Hope they get me a copule of wickets.

End of Over 21: 89-1, runrate=4.24
Allan 1-0-2-0
Fordham* 1 (6 balls)
Howard 44 (63 balls)

Last Wicket: Siddiq c. Stride b. Green 40 (FOW: 86/1)

Did not get 2 wickets but the run rate slowed down a bit. I would want that

 

[zainawan89]

Well i won against my arch rival again today.
despite looking good at 20 overs marker i only managed 218 on flat track which was not enough to defend agaisnt superb top order. hansen scored a century 114 and Heath 43 no one else was in good touch.

Got them out for just 107. Getting his exceptional batsman for just 16. one of his opners scored a fifty.
Rahim took 3/38 in 10 overs. Dickman 3/11 in 6 overs.

In 12 matches now i lead 7-5 now which was once 1-5. After that i hav one 6 consective times against him now.
