[Jaztheman]

I did better than last time though Suren?

 

[surendar]

I did better than last time though Suren?

Yup you did well Jazz.. It was the last 10 overs which pulled you down.. since your team lost 8 wickets for around 50+ runs in those last ten overs. Thats where the things turned its direction. Good luck for the future games Jazz! :cool:

 

[viral1991]

 End of Over 24: 76-5, runrate=3.17
Chapman	2-0-5-1
Govender*	3 (8 balls)
Haishen	0 (8 balls)

I am batting first against Chimpert's team! His bowling is quite strong!

@Suren : That has been a very good performance! Well done! Tough luck, Jaz, better luck next time!

 

[surendar]

Viral.. lost 5 wickets in first 25 overs.. You need this pair to rescue.. Hopefully, if they stay for full 50 overs.. then there will some good total to defend. Lets see..

 

[viral1991]

 End of Over 33: 88-9, runrate=2.67
Smith	10-4-17-5
Fordham*	2 (4 balls)
Searle	4 (21 balls)

Only 1 wicket left now! Smith's bowling was very good!

Staying for the full 50 overs is very tough now!

End of Over 34: 89-10, runrate=2.62
Halls	6-0-9-1
Fordham*	3 (7 balls)

And its all over now! My bowlers should take atleast 3 wickets now!

 

[chimpert]

Woohooo, Smith bowled really well on the dusty wicket.

Farley did well to get 2 early blows. and Halls unplayable as always (6-0-9-1)

U just had that 1 partnership between Harley and Sagren, I was just hoping Smith to get Harley and then the rest wouldnt be as challenging

 

[surendar]

A very tough day Viral.. Ya Smith has exceptional figures there getting 5 wickets for just 17 in full quota of 10 overs.

 

[viral1991]

Yes, they are my best batsmen! And your bowling was terrific!

 

[chimpert]

thanks

0.2 4 Fordham to Apple
Shot of the day for me; an exquisite cover drive races all the way to the boundary. Apple doesn't even think about running and holds the pose for the photographers. Nice.

Good comeback

0.6 W Fordham to Azheruddin
Despite getting in a good stride Azheruddin was adjudged LBW. He won't be happy with that.

End of Over 6: 31-1, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=1.34 (89-10)
Searle 3-0-14-0
Apple* 15 (16 balls)
Branch 15 (17 balls)

Last Wicket: Azheruddin lbw b. Fordham 1 (FOW: 6/1)

looking comfortable

EDIT

End of Over 12: 59-1, runrate=4.92, reqrunrate=0.82 (89-10)
Al ameen 1-0-5-0
Apple* 33 (37 balls)
Branch 21 (32 balls)

Last Wicket: Azheruddin lbw b. Fordham 1 (FOW: 6/1)

30 more to win

EDIT

18.2 4 Moodley to Apple
Wide ball and Apple slashes it inches beyond the diving Haishen at cover. There's no man protecting the boundary out there and it runs away for four.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

And the winnings runs :happy

19.1 2 Al ameen to Apple
That is a textbook cover drive, but Apple will only pick up a couple.

And that's the end of the match. The Monkeys!!! won by 9 wickets.
Sri Krishna Team 89-10
The Monkeys!!! 91-1

 

[surendar]

That was a comfortable win... Congrads! Tough luck Viral.. Better luck next game.. As you mentioned, the opponent's bowling which was exceptional did the trick!

 

[borncricketer]

Good win chimpert ... viral had to deal with his beasty spin bowler
