yea for a close loss that shuld be ok...

6.4 W Masilo to Francis
That has knocked Francis's house down, Masilo must have been a fan of the little pig with the straw house.

A wicket maiden from Masilo, but on the other end Chandepauls 5 overs went for 32 :|

End of Over 12: 57-1, runrate=4.75
Rampaul 1-0-4-0
Parkin* 5 (10 balls)
Affan 37 (36 balls)

Last Wicket: Francis b. Masilo 12 (FOW: 29/1)

 

[aussie1st]

Pretty good bowling considering it's a flat track.

Thank God Chav hit some boundaries that RRR was starting to climb.

23.2 4 Mcallister to Chavhanga
Blakeman dives in vain as the ball races away towards the boundary.
23.4 4 Mcallister to Chavhanga
Steps across his stumps and guides it away fine for four runs down the leg side.

End of Over 24: 169-0, runrate=7.04, reqrunrate=8.42 (387-4)
Mcallister 2-0-16-0
Chavhanga* 88 (73 balls)
Ray 73 (72 balls)

Hmmm Chav looks to be getting those nervous 90 jitters. Really need Ray to start smacking it or this chase is dead and burried.

End of Over 27: 183-0, runrate=6.78, reqrunrate=8.91 (387-4)
Pule 7-0-37-0
Chavhanga* 95 (89 balls)
Ray 79 (75 balls)

And there it is Chav maiden 100.

27.4 4 Mcallister to Chavhanga
Chavhanga blasts that over mid-wicket's head for four runs.
And that's a century for Chavhanga! Well played indeed Sir!

Nice 4 straight after the 100 as well.

27.5 4 Mcallister to Chavhanga
Magnificent shot straight down the ground and deep mid off can't get there in time to cut it off.

End of Over 28: 194-0, runrate=6.93, reqrunrate=8.82 (387-4)
Mcallister 4-0-34-0
Chavhanga* 105 (94 balls)
Ray 80 (76 balls)

 

[borncricketer]

what type of pitch is urz? a flat too? or hard and fast?

19.2 W Rampaul to Parkin
Slams that one over the top and picks out Karthikeyan at deep midwicket! Soft dismissal there, he didn't read the flight well.

A wicket maiden from Rampaul there (y)

End of Over 27: 116-2, runrate=4.30
Ali 7-0-39-0
Affan* 74 (72 balls)
Curtlin 5 (26 balls)

Last Wicket: Parkin c. Karthikeyan b. Rampaul 18 (FOW: 83/2)

Wow this guy Affan is doing really well against me, hez jus 18 :|

 

[aussie1st]

Slow pitch not that it's stopped well over 600 runs being scored with more to come.

I'm still well in this game.

36.3 6 Mcallister to Chavhanga
Very short and hooked over the mid wicket boundary.

Chav goes from no 100 to a massive 100.

37.6 4 Salisbury to Chavhanga
A big edge fine of third man.
Thats his 150. A fine knock.

Last over was pretty crap only 4 off it, needed a lot more than that.

End of Over 39: 287-0, runrate=7.36, reqrunrate=9.18 (387-4)
Mcallister 8-0-68-0
Chavhanga* 156 (131 balls)
Ray 121 (105 balls)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Hope its not too late to let u know but ...
...

You won by 10 wickets

Bowling first u got them all out for 113 - herez the bowling card -

And ur batting...




Well done (y)

Thanks alot mate. Good convincing win.

 

[aussie1st]

Not what I needed but great knock from Chav, now Masi needs to hit a quick fire 50.

44.4 W Parry to Chavhanga
Robertson is under it; it's going to be difficult but he's positioned himself well... and he takes a glorious catch just inside the ropes! Chavhanga shakes his head in sheer disbelief as he trudges back to the pavilion.

Oh no another wicket

45.4 W Kirton to Ray
Out! An absolute gem of a catch. Pule has taken that one-handed catch inches from the ground, diving to his right-hand side in the deep point position. Ray is stunned.

End of Over 47: 352-2, runrate=7.49, reqrunrate=12.00 (387-4)
Parry 9-0-66-1
Quintus* 10 (6 balls)
Masibulele 4 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Ray c. Pule b. Kirton 149 (FOW: 340/2)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Great win Syl. Amazing win! You really deserve it!

 

[aussie1st]

Check out this cracker.

End of Over 49: 372-2, runrate=7.59, reqrunrate=16.00 (387-4)
Parry 10-0-78-1
Quintus* 18 (11 balls)
Masibulele 16 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Ray c. Pule b. Kirton 149 (FOW: 340/2)

49.6 1 Kirton to Masibulele
Nicely flicked around to deep mid wicket for the single.
49.5 4 Kirton to Masibulele
Full delivery and smeared away to backward point for four.
49.4 4 Kirton to Masibulele
Magnificent shot straight down the ground and deep mid off can't get there in time to cut it off.
49.3 4 Kirton to Masibulele
Blakeman dives in vain as the ball races away towards the boundary.
49.2 2 Kirton to Masibulele
That delivery is short and Masibulele gets a top edge but the ball lands in open ground halfway to mid wicket.
49.1 1 Kirton to Quintus
With soft hands, Quintus drops the ball at his feet and steals a quick run.

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by 8 wickets.
Aussie men 387-4
Baggy Blues 388-2


End of Over 50: 388-2, runrate=7.76
Kirton 10-0-76-1
Masibulele* 31 (16 balls)
19 (12 balls)

Just as I predicted I would win the game off the last ball

[voldemort]

thanks...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me the performances of the guys I sold for their new teams. Especially Crouch, Rudi, Tuckett and Folkes. Eli and Falken probably won't play.

 

[pal]

Eli and Falken probably won't play.

Should I not play Eli in league games anymore then? I have him in today's line-up, just because he's probably the only one suited to the pitch.

Eli Currently has 0/7 after 3 overs.
Falken Did not play
Hutchinson Is not playing
Packer Currently has 0/1 after 1 over.
Folkes Did not play
Shipp Made 73* (63)
Pinnock Just went out for a duck.

17.4 W Sturdy to Pinnock
The very thinnest of edges is caught in Tebello's gloves. Everyone appeals, and after what seems like an age the umpire gives him out.

Spearitt Not playing today
Tuckett Made 1 and took 3/23 (8.4)
Rudi Hasn't batted or bowled yet.
Crouch Did not play today.
Giddings Has not batted or bowled yet.
Folds Is not playing today.
Bennett Made 41 before being run out.
Dennis Made 5
Williams Has not batted yet.
Searle Teams yet to be named.
Barr Will not bat today.

There we go, Zorax.
