You guys going quite well esp Syl. I am in need of wickets , have set my bowlers to defensive on hard pitch. Let's see spinners on now.

[aussie1st]

Current two are 5000 and 8000. Mixed news

21.6 W Duffy to Bridges
Clean bowled! Fanatastic! All of the players gather in the middle, but Duffy looks a little taken aback as Mayo ruffles his hair.

22.5 1 Petrus to Myall
That's good cricket and the batsmen get a single.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 23: 102-2, runrate=4.43, reqrunrate=6.11 (266-4)
Petrus 2-0-5-0
Myall* 50 (60 balls)
Cohen 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Bridges b. Duffy 52 (FOW: 101/2)

Hmmm I really need to figure a way to get Mohammed form up, Clayden has been awesome however.

End of Over 24: 102-4, runrate=4.25, reqrunrate=7.00 (283-10)
Clayden 2-1-1-0
Dowe* 18 (22 balls)

[Gilly Fan]

Hmm. Wicket but I still have Myall. You're goin well, Syl.

 

[aussie1st]

Starting to get a bit worrying for you Sean

24.1 W Petrus to Cohen
Big appeal for a catch at silly mid on. GIVEN!

Hmmm another poor over

24.3 4 Mohammed to Dowe
Long hop. That's very very short and Dowe lifts it over square leg for four. That was a gift from Mohammed.
24.3 wd Mohammed to Dowe
Slightly harsh wide down the leg side.
24.2 4 Mohammed to Dowe
Plays with the spin and lobs it over the infield for four runs.

Clayden conceding a 4 now At least he finished well.

End of Over 26: 120-4, runrate=4.62, reqrunrate=6.83 (283-10)
Clayden 3-1-7-0

12.6 W Willem to Singh lali
Plum in front going for reverse sweep. What was Singh lali thinking

A much needed wicket but run rate has increased :frown

End of Over 15: 83-1, runrate=5.53
Willem 3-0-12-1
Paki* 37 (45 balls)
Esterhuizen 13 (7 balls)

Uh, oh.

These 2 really need to put on a partnership, what's the score?

 

[aussie1st]

Usually slows down after 15 overs so alright position for you Amodh.

Hope Mohammed doesn't stuff up the next over again.

Last Wicket: Cohen c. Duffy b. Petrus 5 (FOW: 111/3)

 

[Gilly Fan]

It'd be nice if my batsmen could speed up. Way too slow for my liking.
Dunno why Myall is batting slow. He's usually going at a run a ball.

 

[aussie1st]

That usually happens when you are up against good bowlers.

lb4 killed the over

End of Over 30: 138-4, runrate=4.60, reqrunrate=7.30 (283-10)

Much better over from your guys Sean

29.1 6 Duffy to Riley
That is what happens when Duffy tries to bowl off spin.
29.4 4 Duffy to Myall
Slightly over-pitched and he was onto it like a flash. Four runs.

End of Over 30: 138-3, runrate=4.60, reqrunrate=6.45 (266-4)

Paki* 49 (60 balls)
Esterhuizen 16 (16 balls)

Last Wicket: Singh lali lbw b. Willem 29 (FOW: 67/1)

100 up for the opposition. But i think i am a slight above in terms of run rate.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Just what I needed. If I can keep it to below 7 until the 40th over, I can go home confident that I can win.

 

[aussie1st]

Yep you are in the box seat right now Amodh.

Not good for you Sean

32.1 W Hodges to Riley
That's pure village from Riley. He swung the bat as hard he could but the ball simply went straight down long on's throat.

32.4 W Hodges to Myall
Myall was trying to drive through the off side and the thinnest of edges is enough to remove him. An easy catch for Van der merwe behind the sticks.

End of Over 33: 148-5, runrate=4.48, reqrunrate=7.00 (266-4)
Hodges 7-0-25-2
Vusi* 1 (1 balls)
Handbury 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Myall c. Van der merwe b. Hodges 68 (FOW: 148/5)

Thank God Mohammed is finished. Very poor effort on a spin friendly pitch.

End of Over 33: 152-4, runrate=4.61, reqrunrate=7.76 (283-10)
Mohammed 10-0-50-0
Dowe* 42 (48 balls)
Nash 55 (86 balls)
Last Wicket: Oli lbw b. Ryan 25 (FOW: 79/4)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Damn. I've lost now. He's into the tail and he should wrap it up soon.

 

[Griffo]

MY BIGGEST EVER WIN!!!

I just owned a team and attacking the new ball has really seemed to work

Manning (+) b. Young 50
Fontaine lbw b. Purcell 145
Wotton not out 125
Carrington not out 11

Extras (5b, 7lb, 4w, 1nb) 17
