Chav went! Oh my god!

Should probably have bowled Lisbie out give him every chance to get a big haul.

Yeah I know. But he is only invigorated. And it would've wrecked him. And I also didn't know this team was so bad.

Why can't I finish this tail off? It's been 4 overs since the last wicket.

Syl, is your team just full of proficient and Respectable players?

End of Over 19: 59-8, runrate=3.11
Longrigg 3-1-4-1
Conrad* 0 (11 balls)
Noon 5 (21 balls)
Last Wicket: Mccarthy c. Lisbie b. Longrigg 14 (FOW: 52/8)

Hmmm. C'mon, boys. Finish these bowlers off.

The batting has 1 comp player rest is resp+
Bowling is weaker with 2 comp bowlers, rest being resp+

16.5 4 Wingham to Weaver
Smack - Rope - Four!

18.5 4 Wingham to Weaver
You won’t see a better pull shot than that all day. Four runs.

19.2 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Handbury to Conrad
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Big appeal by Handbury, and no hesitation by the umpire. That was plumb in front.[/COLOR]

There we go. He goes for a 13 ball duck.

In my batting I have...

2 resp batters, 1 med keeper/batter and 3 comp batters.

In my bowling I have 3 Resp bowlers and the rest competent.


Meanwhile, the final wicket falls.

20.1 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Longrigg to Noon
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Noon can't belive he has been stumped by Bridges and we cant either.[/COLOR]

Brilliant bowling effort from my boys. Should be a massive boost in the NRR.


End of Over 21: 63-10, runrate=3.00
Longrigg 3-1-4-2
Overton* 0 (4 balls)

 

[aussie1st]

Great bowling performance by your team.

Germon still going strong, hopefully he makes a 100, can't see him getting too much over that.

20.1 4 Wingham to Germon
Germon unleashes a textbook cover drive, and there's no need to run for that one. Four runs!

 

[Gilly Fan]

Geez. How long is this break? It's going forever!

There we go.

I hope this match finished really quickly.

Syl, who's your skipper? Ryan or Steele?

Germon goes in the 80s.

Bad luck, Syl.

 

[aussie1st]

Steele.

Germon low concentration caught up with him.

27.2 W Oakes to Germon
That outswinger has drawn Germon like a moth to a flame and he's been duly burnt as Lucky takes a safe catch at first slip.

Excellent start by Quintus

27.3 4 Oakes to Quintus
Moxey slips when picking the ball up and falls on the rope. Four runs!

Overton 4-0-21-0
Myall* 13 (18 balls)
Saich 18 (25 balls)

Slow run rate. But oh well.

 

[aussie1st]

This Wingham is causing me all sorts of problems. 2nd maiden and he got Chav out.

End of Over 29: 184-2, runrate=6.34
Wingham 8-2-31-1
Weaver* 36 (43 balls)
Quintus 5 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Germon c. Lucky b. Oakes 85 (FOW: 179/2)

That's more like it Quintus

29.4 4 Oakes to Quintus
Wide outside off stump, sliced down past wide third man for four.

Excellent way to bring up the 50.

31.3 6 Vaughan to Weaver
Massive six from Weaver! The ball has left the stadium and landed out on the training nets outside the ground! Vaughan looks on in amazement.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 32: 211-2, runrate=6.59
Vaughan 6-0-45-0
Weaver* 55 (56 balls)
Quintus 13 (14 balls)

11.1 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Conrad to Saich
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]More spin than a party political broadcast. Conrad has made a monkey of Saich with that one![/COLOR]

Damn, Saich goes right at the end.

12.4 	W	Overton to Bridges
 	 	Jags off the seam and takes the top edge of the bat and balloons straight to silly point!

And Bridges too. :S

And that's the end of the match. Gillys Demolition Team won by 8 wickets.
starstar1 63-10
Gillys Demolition Team 66-2

Dissapointing though. I should've won by 10 wickets.

39.5 	[COLOR="Red"]W	[/COLOR]Vaughan to Weaver
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]Oh my! Weaver has lost his furniture! Clean gone[/COLOR].

Clean gone?

 

[aussie1st]

Not pushing that run rate up as much as you could have Gilly.

Not surprised with Weaver his stamina is awful.

50 on debut for Quintus in the Baggy Blues.

41.6 4 Oakes to Quintus
Textbook cover drive. That's four.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Such a shame Quintus couldn't remain not out.

49.3 W Croft to Quintus
Bowled him! Slower ball yorker!

49.4 4 Croft to Steele
Steele flashes at that one, and the slips watch in dismay as it scuttles to the boundary. A bit streaky that.

Very quick 50

49.6 4 Croft to Masibulele
Masibulele uses his feet well and lofts the ball into the vacant extra cover region. Vaughan chases in vain as the ball skips over the rope.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 50: 350-4, runrate=7.00
Croft 10-0-87-1
Steele* 5 (2 balls)
Masibulele 50 (31 balls)
Last Wicket: Quintus b. Croft 79 (FOW: 341/4)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Supreme effort, Syl. Very well played.

 

[aussie1st]

Thanks pretty easy wrap up.

2.4 W Hitish to Whalley
Out! A magnificent catch by Germon in the outfield. He caught it while still suspended in the air. That'll go down as one of the great catches of the decade.

3.5 W Sam to Lucky
Masibulele makes a wicket out of nothing with that brillant peice of glovework. Top class!
3.4 W Sam to Moxey
Got him! That pitched on middle and straightened down the line, taking Moxey on the pad as he tried to flick it away on the on side. Intelligent bowling from Sam.

4.3 W Hitish to Shabangu
Shabangu tries to play inside the line but Hitish has bowled a little cutter that has jagged back and taken the edge. A brilliant dive forward at second slip and the catch is taken.

5.1 W Sam to Farrell
Oh that's hit him plumb. Masibulele and Sam are straight into the appeal and the slip cordon join in. The umpire's taking his time. And he lifts his finger! That's out!
5.6 W Sam to Oakes
Bowled him! Sam does a robotic dance in celebration. How embarrassing!

7.2 W Sam to Hatch
Thick edge from Hatch and the ball travelled very quickly to first slip. He manages to parry it up and Masibulele is alert and dives full stretch to take the catch.
7.5 W Sam to Vaughan
Thick edge from Vaughan and it's hit the man at slip on the leg! It's in the air, it must be. Yes, Masibulele caught it! OUT!

8.4 W Hitish to Croft
It's in the air... And out. Nice clean catch there from Chavhanga.
8.3 W Hitish to Crossley
That was a textbook forward defensive shot by Crossley in every way except that he missed the ball which cannoned onto his pad. Plumb.

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by 331 runs.
Baggy Blues 350-4
Angry Leg Spinners 19-10

[borncricketer]

Good job Gilly...and Syl AWESOME win

Elected to field first...

0.5 W Masilo to Moodley
GODDIM! Masilo banged it in short and Moodley tried to pull it but he got a top edge to Hocking at mid wicket who steadied himself and swallowed an easy catch

after 9 overs they look to be in a good position...wanna get them out before 100 and chase it in 10 overs to get a good NRR

End of Over 9: 34-1, runrate=3.78
Masilo 5-1-20-1
Ali* 10 (18 balls)
Lucas 18 (31 balls)

Last Wicket: Moodley c. Hocking b. Masilo 0 (FOW: 0/1)

EDIT

9.5 W Alshaun to Ali
Awful shot and Ali pays the price. The ball wasn't short enough to pull, but Ali tried to, and instead dragged a huge bottom edge back into his stumps.

aah finally...was waiting for a wicket from alshaun for a long time

woohooo

10.3 W Masilo to Lucas
The short ball bounced higher than he expected, resulting in a huge top edge straight up in the air. Masilo claims the catch for himself as Lucas departs.
10.5 W Masilo to Dangasela
Movement from the pitch has seen Dangasela bowled, that ball looked fairly innocuous at first.

*Crowd chanting MASILO before every ball**

and herez Rampaul guys...welcome

11.2 W Rampaul to Paki
If Paki had two bats, he wouldn't have gotten to that. Mischief and mayhem from Rampaul there.
11.1 W Rampaul to Chadwick
How is that? He's given him out LBW! The umpire must have seen something I didn't.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Good stuff there, BC.

 

[aussie1st]

Looks like another low score coming up
