My match is against a tough opposition, so I am using the GFI!

 End of Over 22: 102-2, runrate=4.64, reqrunrate=6.07 (271-4)
Padayachie	6-0-52-1
Sagren*	38 (48 balls)
Harley	43 (68 balls)
Last Wicket: Dangasela c. Bhutia b. Abdul kadir 15 (FOW: 44/2)

My best batsmen are at the crease! So, this partnership is crucial!

@Syl : That was a very entertaining match!

@Gilly : Thats a very good win!

Sinhala Ranaweera won the toss and elected to field.

uneven pitch...

End of Over 47: 193-10, runrate=4.11
Whittingham 8-0-33-1
Ryno 8-1-32-4
Cash 10-1-55-0
Manning 10-0-29-4
John 10-0-33-1


Chasing at the moment,

End of Over 11: 45-1, runrate=4.09, reqrunrate=3.82 (193-10)

Murphy went out just now for 14.. Murray and Dharmasena at the crease...

12.2 W Faaiz to Dharmasena
That's an absolute peach of a delivery, finds the edge, and Pradeep takes it at the second attempt.

Stanley and Murray now... If they cant bat, then i lose to Viral

End of Over 14: 58-2, runrate=4.14, reqrunrate=3.78 (193-10)

Too slow for my liking... I think i forgot to set aggressions...

 

[viral1991]

This should be an easy win & a good warm-up for your team before Sunday!

 

[voldemort]

End of Over 27: 140-2, runrate=5.19, reqrunrate=2.35 (193-10)
Murray* 71 (92 balls)
Stanley 46 (42 balls)

Nice partnership so far... Murrays aggression wasnt good enough i think...

 

[viral1991]

End of Over 41: 190-2, runrate=4.63, reqrunrate=9.11 (271-4)
Abdul kadir 6-0-26-1
Harley* 84 (119 balls)
Sagren 82 (112 balls)

Some big-hitting is needed right now! The fact that there are 8 wickets in hand is a big plus point, right now! Harley & Sagren are playing really nicely!

 

[voldemort]

28.4 1 Rideegammanagedera to Stanley
Banged in short. Stanley stands tall, gets on top of the bounce, drops the ball close on the off side and rushes for a single.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Finally, he still has a strikerate above 100...

End of Over 29: 150-2, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=2.10 (193-10)
Murray* 77 (100 balls)
Stanley 50 (46 balls)

Partnership of 101...

hopefully viral, you will suffer from PFL, TFL and morale issues

 

[viral1991]

hopefully viral, you will suffer from PFL, TFL and morale issues

All my players have sublime PFL & their morale is good too!

40.4 	4	Abdul kadir to Sagren
 	 	Sagren just uses the pace of the ball to tickle it down to vacant fine leg region, four easy runs.
40.3 	4	Abdul kadir to Sagren
 	 	A great shot from Sagren there. A full-blooded cover drive that races away to the boundary.

41.2 	4	Govender to Sagren
 	 	Streaky shot but they all count!

42.1 	4	Abdul kadir to Sagren
 	 	Bludgeoned to the boards! Super shot by Sagren.

42.4 	4	Abdul kadir to Sagren
 	 	'Catch!' is the shout as Sagren flails his arms at this short, wide delivery and it's over the slips and down to third man.

43.4 	4	Govender to Sagren
 	 	Sagren just planted his feet and smashed it to the boundary.
[B]And that's a century for Sagren! Well played indeed Sir![/B]

This is a brilliant onslaught from Sagren!

End of Over 44: 221-2, runrate=5.02, reqrunrate=8.50 (271-4)
Govender 7-0-37-0
Harley* 93 (127 balls)
Sagren 104 (122 balls)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Going great, Voldy.
You're a massive chance, viral. You can do it!

 

[voldemort]

31.4 4 Girubaharan to Stanley
Stanley was frothing at the bit, waiting to pounce onto that short one. And Girubaharan looks positively frustrated as it trundles to the rope.

After 4 overs...

I guess Stanley is bored... 10 runs by him off the over, total of 11 off the over...

End of Over 32: 169-2, runrate=5.28, reqrunrate=1.39 (193-10)

 

[viral1991]

45.6 	4	Govender to Sagren
 	 	Sagren edges a quicker ball just wide of Bhutia for four.

46.2 	4	Abdul kadir to Sagren
 	 	He waits on it and then drives well through the covers.

46.4 	4	Abdul kadir to Harley
 	 	Fantastic shot by Harley! Shortish straight ball, pulled powerfully through mid wicket. Deep square leg is helpless to stop that rocket.
[B]And that's a century for Harley! Well played indeed Sir![/B]

The onslaught continues & Harley gets his century too!

End of Over 47: 249-2, runrate=5.30, reqrunrate=7.67 (271-4)
Abdul kadir 9-0-55-1
Sagren* 120 (132 balls)
Harley 104 (135 balls)

A win looks very likely now!

47.5 	W	Govender to Harley
 	 	OUT! Clean bowled, Harley misjudged that badly and it cost him.

48.1 	W	Abdul kadir to Robson
 	 	A beautiful reverse swinger by Abdul kadir has left Robson's bat swinging at thin air. Middle stump takes off like a rocket and hits Bhutia in the leg. Ouch. Or, should I say, Out-ch. Sorry, I'll get my coat.

This is a big blow! This game is turning out to be an absolute thriller!

11 runs needed off 7 balls now!

8 needed off 4 now!

49.2 	1	Govender to Sagren
 	 	Sagren gets in a tangle and doesn't know where that's gone, but his partner gives him a shout and they make an untroubled single.
49.1 	1	Govender to Malik
 	 	Short of a length and slanting away. Malik stands tall, taps it close on the off side and they rush across for a quick single.

End of Over 49: 262-4, runrate=5.35, reqrunrate=10.00 (271-4)
Abdul kadir	10-0-60-2
Malik*	4 (3 balls)
Sagren	123 (136 balls)
Last Wicket: Robson b. Abdul kadir 1 (FOW: 257/4)

And that's the end of the match. Sri Krishna Team won by 6 wickets.
Newbee	271-4
Sri Krishna Team	273-4

End of Over 50: 273-4, runrate=5.46
Govender	9-0-66-1
Malik*	6 (5 balls)
Sagren	132 (139 balls)
 
49.5 	4	Govender to Sagren
 	 	Wonderfully timed on drive, four runs!
49.4 	4	Govender to Sagren
 	 	Forward, smacked over a vacant wide long off boundary, well placed.
49.3 	1	Govender to Malik
 	 	Inside edge, past the stumps, square leg running in to get the ball.

Thats an excellent finish from Sagren! It is a superb win for the side! The GFI came in very good use!

 

[Gilly Fan]

Great win, mate. Thrilling match!

 

[voldemort]

you really need to get out of such an easy league...

Leeds 1-1-0-0
Basson* 0 (0 balls)
Stoltz 0 (6 balls)

Great tight start with another dot ball following in hollands first over

[COLOR="Red"]1.4 W Holland to Basson 
    Absolute jaffa, bowled him all ends up. They'll need a technician out there as that stump camera is in several pieces.[/COLOR]

Thats an early one i wanted!

2.1 W Leeds to Stoltz
A quick ball from Leeds has taken a big snick and just carried to Staveley at second slip.

Another this is a great start!

End of Over 3: 2-2, runrate=0.67
Leeds 2-2-0-1
Lampard* 0 (2 balls)

Really killing them there Brett.

Hitish really likes this dusty pitch.

2.2 W Hitish to Hockley
Defensive stroke played, but the ball beats the bat as it nips back sharply and the bails are sent up into the air.

6.4 W Hitish to Blair
Forward defensive, beats the bat, on the pads, huge appeal, the umpire is thinking hard on this one, and given!

Been a few big hits

1.1 4 Clayden to Blair
Fabulous shot! Blair comes forward to meet the ball and drives it elegantly through extra cover for four.
4.6 6 Hitish to Dangasela
Like a bat outta hell that ball has gone, gone, gone! Six runs!
6.5 4 Hitish to Thay
Long hop and battered square by Thay. Poor bowling from Hitish.

End of Over 7: 31-2, runrate=4.43
Hitish 4-0-17-2
Dangasela* 13 (16 balls)
Thay 4 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Blair lbw b. Hitish 12 (FOW: 27/2)
