His 2 best bowlers are still to come as well
 
12.1 W Binnion to Riley
What a gem. That's pitched about a foot outside off and come back sharply through a massive gate taking the off stump with it.

Mohammed 1-0-11-0

GamerKid thinks I'm gonna collapse. :p
Not likely. :)

18.3 2 Schalk to Vusi
two runs, not timed perfectly, but into the gap.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

His first fifty in ages for my club.

19.3 4 Mohammed to Barraclough
A smashing cover drive by Barraclough spilts the field and races to the boundary - 4 Runs!

Wow, he's a resp bat. But with worth stan and mediocre conc. And he's killing them.

His highest score is only 10!

He has 55 at the moment.

I'm slowing down now. Must be the stanima.

22.1 4 Schalk to Barraclough
Snick! That finds the edge of the bat, but squirts on through at pace. Malik just couldn't react and it races to the rope. Four runs.

Lucky lucky.

I'm liking Ryno.

20.4 4 Ryno to Quintus
The fielders had no chance to cut that off. Four runs.

Great knock from Quintus out scored Masi now.

20.6 4 Ryno to Quintus
Textbook drive there. The foot movement was superb.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 21: 110-2, runrate=5.24, reqrunrate=6.45 (296-1)

Last Wicket: Riley b. Binnion 36 (FOW: 78/1)

I'm slowing down heaps.

24.6 W Schalk to Vusi
Thick edge and... taken by Malik. That was a great catch, Vusi just looks on in disbelief.
Vusi falls for a very good 62.

Well my PC league match started a long time back. We won the toss and elected to field.

In one stage, they were, End of Over 45: 198-3, runrate=4.40.

Then a hattrick by Clarke,

Code:
45.4 	W	Clarke to Sheppard
 	 	In the air .... and out!
45.3 	W	Clarke to Glasser
 	 	Goes for the big shot but doesn't connect well. Good catch by Malik running round from square leg.
45.2 	W	Clarke to Hamed
 	 	Wicket! Hamed hammers the ball to mid off, but he hasn't got on top of it, and it's an easy catch for Love. He didn't have to move for that one.

In very next over, Hamed got another hattrick,

Code:
46.5 	W	Hamed to Cable
 	 	Cable has a backlift like an octopus falling out of a tree; all over the place. No wonder it's gone straight through him. Clean bowled.
46.4 	W	Hamed to Miah
 	 	Goodness me! The batsmen have collided while taking the single, what a simple run out for the fielding side.
46.3 	W	Hamed to Mametsa
 	 	What an excellent shot! No, Clarke has salmoned him at short extra cover!

Two hattricks in successive overs and they collapsed to 203 :) It reminds me the typical Windies collapse ;)

But in chasing, my batsmen struggled to the top bowling opponents. Batsmen were completely clueless :( :mad:
End of Over 25: 101-6, runrate=4.04, reqrunrate=4.12 (203-10)
Sheppard 6-1-13-3
Alshaun* 43 (59 balls)
Wotton 6 (12 balls)
Last Wicket: Clarke c. Hamed b. Sheppard 0 (FOW: 82/6)

But very much happy with our bowling department to restrict them for 203 inspite of our poor batting!
 
Quite a slow knock from Masi he better get a 100 for this.

End of Over 24: 120-2, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=6.81 (296-1)
Fowler 2-1-3-0
Quintus* 56 (61 balls)
Masibulele 45 (72 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga b. Leeds 11 (FOW: 29/2)
 
End of Over 27: 143-2, runrate=5.30, reqrunrate=5.04 (258-10)
Schalk 7-0-33-1
Cohen* 2 (6 balls)
Barraclough 36 (43 balls)

Last Wicket: Vusi c. Malik b. Schalk 63 (FOW: 138/2)

I kinda need to speed up.

Very similar to when I played Angry in my last friendly. His bowling is just too good.
Congrats on the double hattrick Suren.

Finally Masi is doing something

24.4 4 Ryno to Masibulele
Beauty, and four runs.

24.6 1 Ryno to Masibulele
One run, Masibulele guides it to third man for a single.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

25.2 4 Fowler to Masibulele
Slower delivery, but he picks it and gets it away through third man.

25.5 4 Fowler to Masibulele
The crowd seemed to like that improvised shot, it was ugly but he timed it perfectly.

End of Over 26: 138-2, runrate=5.31, reqrunrate=6.63 (296-1)
Fowler 3-1-13-0
Quintus* 59 (64 balls)
Masibulele 60 (81 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga b. Leeds 11 (FOW: 29/2)
 
27.5 W Dangasela to Barraclough
OUT! A full slow ball wide outside leg stump, Barraclough comes down the track and mistimes the drive in the air straight back to Dangasela, who takes the catch

End of Over 29: 150-3, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=5.19 (258-10)
Schalk 8-0-38-1
Saich* 3 (3 balls)
Cohen 6 (11 balls)

Last Wicket: Barraclough c & b. Dangasela 36 (FOW: 144/3)

I'm really slowing down. I'm now below the RRR. But I have Saich in. And Bridges next.
 
Still under 6 which leaves you in the box seat. But if you have one of those collapses...

My fav bowler is back :)
Code:
28.6 	4	Ryno to Masibulele
 	 	Wide and given the treatment, four runs over point.
28.5 	4	Ryno to Masibulele
 	 	Dances down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball with a lovely timed straight drive back past the bowler.
28.4 	6	Ryno to Masibulele
 	 	Slog swept over mid wicket for six, and nearly caught one-handed by a spectator unwiling to let go of his drink.

End of Over 29: 159-2, runrate=5.48, reqrunrate=6.57 (296-1)
Ryno 8-0-55-0
Quintus* 60 (67 balls)
Masibulele 80 (96 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga b. Leeds 11 (FOW: 29/2)
 
End of Over 31: 160-3, runrate=5.16, reqrunrate=5.21 (258-10)
Schalk 9-0-44-1
Saich* 10 (11 balls)
Cohen 9 (15 balls)

Last Wicket: Barraclough c & b. Dangasela 36 (FOW: 144/3)

Hmm....

32.4 6 Schalk to Cohen
Oh he's gone to fetch that from way outside off stump and pulled a huge six. Pure power.

Wooo. Hooo.
