You were all over me Aus . I can't believe I put in a performance that bad. You derserve that huge victory.

 

[aussie1st]

You should be able to get that collapse to finish of the inns.

Chav brings up the win and his 50 with the last ball of the game.

44.6 2 Dixon to Chavhanga
Shortish, straight ball, tucked off the hip, sneaks through Hadland at square leg, and they scamper back for a second as long leg comes around to field.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by 8 wickets.
Ramsgate RSL CC 219-10
Baggy Blues 221-2


End of Over 45: 221-2, runrate=4.91
Dixon 8-0-60-1
Quintus* 11 (9 balls)
Chavhanga* 51 (44 balls)

[surendar]

Hamed is back into business

40.3 W Hamed to Fisher
Plays defensively, but the ball moves off the pitch and takes off stump out of the ground.

40.1 W Hamed to Toney
Got him! Hit on the toe, plumb in front and Toney may be nursing a broken toe along with his shattered pride.

Wonderful job in getting rid of both the well settled pairs.

AND, Once again, Hamed... :happy

40.6 W Hamed to Fu
GONE! Magnificent catch on the boundary.

Three wickets in the same over.. I love the last 10 overs while bowling :cool:

End of Over 41: 160-7, runrate=3.90
Hamed 6-1-19-3
Clitheroe* 1 (1 balls)
Lakshika 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Fu c. Macdonald b. Hamed 0 (FOW: 160/7)

 

[handsome]

Wow, same in my case...my best bowler strikes in the 41st ovre. Well done Suren

 

[surendar]

Amodh.. 270 in 240 balls is damn good score.. i wonder why you are not happy

Another one... This time it was Clarke

41.5 W Clarke to Lakshika
Someone give the chubby lady a nudge, Lakshika is out, clubbing a tired drive to Macdonald at mid-off.

And scorecard,

End of Over 42: 165-8, runrate=3.93
Clarke 6-0-25-1
Clitheroe* 2 (2 balls)
Sherwood 4 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Lakshika c. Macdonald b. Clarke 0 (FOW: 161/8)

43.4 	W	Clarke to Sherwood

48.3 	W	Hamed to Sawyer
 	 	[COLOR="Red"][B]Oh my! Sawyer has gone for the sweep and Hamed has bowled Sawyer round his legs. Embarrassment for Sawyer as he heads back to the pavilion.[/B][/COLOR]

Full Credits to Hamed who initiated the collapse and ending with 4 wickets following the 5 wickets hold day before yesterday :happy

Hamed 9-1-27-4

Target :- 187 for Hunting Tigers!

 

[angryangy]

lol where's Jaz? He's not going to believe this.

Dusty pitch, Fighting Mongooses won toss and batted. The ever experimental top order collapsed for 15. Note to self, if you're sending in your weakest batsmen first, have at least one of them not trying to cream it. It was freefall from there, Barton played a cameo 44 in 39 balls, but couldn't hang around. Sheppard forged an unlikely rearguard to creep the total to 160 all out before the end of the 40th over. The spinner Crabb took 5.

Then it was a slow start for Greenbank, 1/14 in 5 overs. They recovered ground though and were 2/64 after 15 overs, well on track. After 20 overs, the bowlers begun to grind back into the game. Consecutive maidens were bowled and another wicket was taken, 3/88 after 24 overs. Finally, what seemed doubtful at times had happened; the commanding spinner had come to bowl, with Immediate effect, too. Greenbank were 4/96 after 26 overs.

Cable bowled centimetre perfect and did not concede a boundary for the entire match. The match had been stretched thin and by the 37th over, more wickets were falling. 6/139 in 40 overs.

10 overs, just 22 runs to victory. Nokwe had picked up the quietest of 50s, 54 in 113 balls. Alas, the tail was exposed and being crushed. Sheppard picked off a pair. 8/151. Cable conceded 3 runs. Sheppard conceded 3 runs. The tiny steps were looking like they were enough. Cable conceded one run. Just a couple more. Cable took a wicket. Nine down. Just a couple more. The next couple were fended away. Maybe they'd get to the next over and Nokwe could have strike. The tailender holds out, phew, wait! No! They attempt a single and his wicket falls, a run out. What was he thinking? Fighting Mongooses won by just 2 runs, defending the indefensible.

Fighting Mongooses 160 (39.4)
Crabb 5/45 (9.4)
Legwathi 3/40 (7.0)

Greenbank 158 (46.0)
Nokwe 62 n.o.
Sheppard 3/28 (8.0)
Cable 2/14 (8.0)

That was a big win, Syl! Well done! Lefty was unlucky!

@Suren :Your team's playing superbly! The batting should take your team to the win now!

@Amodh : That is a very dominating partnership!

 End of Over 2: 14-1, runrate=7.00, reqrunrate=4.21 (215-10)

Harley*	11 (7 balls)
Moodley	3 (4 balls)

 1.5 	6	Byron to Harley
 	 	Half volley by Byron and Harley gives it the full treatment. That is a HUGE six that almost hits the TV blimp hovering overhead. Oh the humanity!

As for me, my team's young star Searle took 4 wickets! And the run-chase should be very interesting.
