Hodges has wrecked me. :(

He got the important wickets of Riley and Myall. :(

If it wasn't for him, I'd be a massive chance.

You're winning comfortable, Syl.

I gotta go guys. School has finished. Be back in 40 minutes.

Nah he just can't access BT.

Wow Clayden is going for less than 2 an over. Hope he can keep it going for 2 more overs.

Good job Masibulele is as agile as a cat, that's as quick as they come.

This is the update then........another copule of wickets needed. I am worried for my batsmen.
 
Aaaand, I've been thumped. My tail has had one of those BT collapses and I've lost 5/12.

A pop in my seam bowling. It is now mediocre. My batting is still a big problem and something I need to sort out.
 
Sam second chance for a hattrick and he misses again

44.5 W Sam to Goldbourne
Goldbourne edges Sam straight into Chavhanga's cuddly midriff at first slip.
44.4 W Sam to Mcgregor
That was a textbook shot by Mcgregor... sadly the textbook in question was 'Cricket for Beginners'... so that's OUT!

Cleaning up job

45.1 W Hitish to Brittain
That's missing off and missing leg and hitting middle half way up!

45.5 W Hitish to Nyikadzino
'HOWZAT!' as the dull thud of the batsman's pad is heard.

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by 74 runs.

Pop in the middle order might have been all to do with Masi being in the middle will see against Brett what it looks like.

Great win, Syl. Easy win.
I just needed Myall and Riley to stay in until the 40th over, and I would've been a chance, but they both fell inside an over and I was screwed.
 
Fighting Mongooses 9/277 (50.0)
Browne 103
Barton 89
Way 60
Baholo 5/66 (10.0)

Rhinos 218 (46.1)
Grogan 57
Lewington 53
Miah 4/30 (8.1)

Some situations just never play out naturally, do they? I was 2/214 after 40 overs, Rhinos were 4/199. Simple maths shows 7/63 in 10 versus 6/19 in 6.1. Both collapse, for seemingly no ambition. Perhaps this highlights the importance of who you pick as death bowlers.

The last 10 overs are a joke in BT. If I am bowling and the other team needs 50 in the final tean with 7 wickets in hand, I can reasonably expect my team to come out on top due to the frequency of these collapses. Really needs to be fixed...

It's the opposite for me when I'm bowling. I just know that I'll get smashed. The wickets chance must be at 60-70% in the last 10 overs.

Yeah, just looking at Syl's game, he got fairly owned by relatively crap bowlers, 6/52 in just under 10 overs. Death bowlers should probably be going for almost twice as many runs in these situations (which really only means a handful more boundaries). If you went 6/90, you wouldn't sweat on the collapsing so much.
 
The game i have waited for all season. Aussie Beltas vs baggy blues :D:D:D:D

Here is a first over update:

End of Over 1: 7-0, runrate=7.00
Hitish 1-0-7-0
Hanson* 6 (5 balls)
Miller 1 (1 balls)
