[The Spin]

Well I get the honour of being the last opponents of the TT Lions. Bit tricky really, because I dont want to be a spoilsport and do well. I wouldnt worry about doing well though, probably won't happen.

End of Over 28: 110-2, runrate=3.93
Nedd 4-0-6-1
Rudi* 7 (12 balls)
Folds 20 (52 balls)

Last Wicket: Bennett c & b. Nedd 54 (FOW: 96/2)

Im not doing badly at all here. Could we have an upset in the making? Doubt it personally, but we will have to see

Kirkland 8-0-36-0
Ainsworth* 54 (83 balls)
Jepson 1 (5 balls)

interesting, if i get ainsworth quickly i might be able to get them for under 200,

Looks like you've done enough there Suren but 2 wickets and that BT collapse could rip the game away from you.

Fortunately, there were no BT collapses for me Alshaun and Malik guided the team to victory

End of 33.4 overs, 2 wickets : 188/2 ( Hunting Tigers win by 8 Wickets )

Malik : 90*(119)
Alshaun : 62*(52)

Malik got his MOTM for the brilliant 90.. Tough luck Phil.. Good luck to remaining games :cool:

Folds* 23 (66 balls)
Rudi 20 (23 balls)

Last Wicket: Bennett c & b. Nedd 54 (FOW: 96/2)

Zorax's Lions still going fairly slowly. Pitch is H+F so I expected 300+ from them.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Wait till Crouch comes. He loves going out with a bang...

Folds is 28 off 70 :S
How I am gonna miss him...not.

33.6 6 Slaytor to Folds
An early birthday present for Folds. What looked like a relatively simple catch in the deep has been fumbled by Riaan, and the ball has gone over the rope for six runs.

Keep this up and I might forgive you...

End of Over 36: 163-2, runrate=4.53
Slaytor 8-1-33-0
Rudi* 36 (36 balls)
Folds 35 (78 balls)

Last Wicket: Bennett c & b. Nedd 54 (FOW: 96/2)

Picking up the pace

(BTW, if your wondering, I'm not on MSN cause I'm using another computer)

End of Over 40: 181-2, runrate=4.53
Slaytor 10-2-42-0
Rudi* 46 (43 balls)
Folds 41 (95 balls)

Last Wicket: Bennett c & b. Nedd 54 (FOW: 96/2)

If I fail to get 250 from here...I'll sell everyone!
Wait, too late...

41.2 4 Nedd to Rudi
He goes for it and BANG, came right out of the middle. The fielders can only watch helplessly as it flies to the boundary for four.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Sigh. I'll definately miss this guy's genius with bat and ball...

42.2 W Cronin to Folds
Nicks that one to Marsden at second slip, who holds onto a tight catch.

And The Legend walks out for his final innings at the club...

End of Over 43: 165-10, runrate=3.84
Mampe 7-2-14-4
Moodley* 30 (41 balls)

fantastic effort, both dlomo and mampe taking 4-14


lost harbin first ball of the chase though

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Dlomo, Mampe, and then Maybe Eli? What a spin attack

End of Over 47: 236-3, runrate=5.02
Cronin 9-0-50-1
Rudi* 79 (65 balls)
Crouch 16 (13 balls)

Last Wicket: Folds c. Marsden b. Cronin 45 (FOW: 196/3)

Looks like 275+ is out of the question. Wonder if 260 is enough on a H&F...

Legend

48.4 4 Cronin to Crouch
Bada-boom bada-bing. One bounce and into the crowd.
48.3 4 Cronin to Crouch
Excellent cover drive from Crouch and well fielded by the security man behind the boundary rope. Four runs.
48.2 6 Cronin to Crouch
Strayed down the leg side, and that shows the strength of the man, he has cleared Chinthaka on the square leg boundary.

End of Over 49: 262-3, runrate=5.35
Cronin 10-0-67-1
Rudi* 84 (70 balls)
Crouch 37 (20 balls)

Last Wicket: Folds c. Marsden b. Cronin 45 (FOW: 196/3)

Last over, Rudi and Crouch to face it. Rudi won't go off with a ton, and Crouch without a 50. Barring a miracle, of course...

End of Over 50: 268-3, runrate=5.36
Riaan 10-1-54-1
Crouch* 40 (23 balls)
Rudi 87 (73 balls)

Last Wicket: Folds c. Marsden b. Cronin 45 (FOW: 196/3)

Dissapointing last over, but two fantastic knocks from two TT Lions legends in their final game for the club.

 

[The Spin]

I wonder, 269 to win on a H+F. Could be interesting

 

[ste_mc_efc]

112/3

anthony still there, i'll back myself but with only two respectables left to come in it could go either way

And that's the end of the match. Everton won by 7 wickets.
Briggs Bullets 165-10
Everton 168-3

wahey! big win that

End of Over 28: 118-3, runrate=4.21, reqrunrate=6.86 (268-3)
Tuckett 4-0-12-1
Bradshaw* 2 (4 balls)
Marsden 32 (48 balls)

Last Wicket: Mccormick c. Barr b. Eli 4 (FOW: 113/3)

Looking alright for me.

 

[The Spin]

Its all going away from me now, Lions bowlers are just too good

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Mardsen wakes up...

30.2 4 Eli to Marsden
Full length ball swinging into the leg stump, Marsden flicks it away through mid-wicket, ball races away to the rope.
30.1 4 Eli to Marsden
A glorious cover drive from Marsden. That was four from the moment it left the bat.

 

[pal]

Eli's getting ***** (kinda) in this match.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

He is only Lively, so is a bit below normal standards...
