46.3 3 Francis to Cohen
Cohen comes forward and flicks the ball beautifully off his pads towards the mid wicket boundary for three.
And that's a century for Cohen! Well played indeed Sir!

Century for Cohen! 2 runs needed now! Gonna be a good win.

Bad luck, BC. It's only a friendly.

And that's the end of the match. Gillys Demolition Team won by 3 wickets.

MOTM: Saich

I have a dilemna. I am playing the top team next week. And I dunno whether to play a play with med/med/med
Or a player with resp bat / worth/worth?

The player with med/med/med made a ton today. And the resp player made a golden quacker.

 

[voldemort]

med/med/med ofcourse...

End of Over 38: 166-4, runrate=4.37
Cash 9-0-45-0
Malik* 21 (24 balls)
Dangasela 40 (57 balls)

no no...

 

[handsome]

End of Over 37: 160-3, runrate=4.32
Willem 9-0-36-1
Carruthers* 6 (7 balls)
Singh lali 83 (98 balls)

Last Wicket: Burns lbw b. Willem 54 (FOW: 148/3)

Gamer Vs me then , Gamer batting now need a copule of wickets to get something out of it.

 

[voldemort]

A poor last over from manning, 10 off the over...

End of Over 39: 176-4, runrate=4.51
Dangasela* 44 (60 balls)
Malik 27 (27 balls)

Manning 10-0-39-2 - better than John...

End of Over 40: 180-4, runrate=4.50
Malik* 28 (29 balls)
Dangasela 47 (64 balls)

4 off the last over.
Cash 10-0-49-0 - decent enough...

40.2 W Whittingham to Malik
Whittingham's pitched one right up in the blockhole and it's struck Malik on the boot! There's a sustained appeal from the bowler and finally the umpire raises his finger! Whittingham's got his man! OUT!

Time for Rynos favourite time of bowling...

Dangasela at 48...

40.6 W Whittingham to Govender
It's in the air.....and OUT! Excellent fielding from Aziz. He had some ground to make up but he got there in the end and held onto the catch.

BT collapse time

 

[surendar]

Thats an excellent win Sean
Game still in balance there Voldy.
Handy, u need wickets else, u need to chase around 300 i guess.

And in my game, at the end of 41 Overs,

Alshaun* 26 (26 balls)

[voldemort]

41.1 2 Ryno to Dangasela
Short ball by Ryno and Dangasela hooks it down to the boundary. An easy two runs.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Its about team he returned back to the pavilion...

41.5 W Ryno to Moodley
Out! Moodley has been caught out by the bowler who got the ball smashed straight back into his hands.

End of Over 42: 187-7, runrate=4.45
Ryno 6-0-20-1
Dangasela* 52 (68 balls)
Al ameen 0 (1 balls)

42.1 6 Whittingham to Dangasela
SIX, goes for the hook! Risky shot, but it came off.

Get him off

 

[Gilly Fan]

Goin well, Suren.

Easy, Voldy.

 

[voldemort]

43.1 W Ryno to Dangasela
The short ball bounced higher than he expected, resulting in a huge top edge straight up in the air. Ryno claims the catch for himself as Dangasela departs.

Finally...
