Syl, if you get around 220, i feel it should be a match winning score. And i can see it happening at ease unless a poor collapse occurs.

Well, had to wait till 10.30(BT time) for my match in England to begin against Joe :cool:

Same here.

Oh, god Syl. 4 wickets in 4 balls!

Awesome stuff from Cable.

44.4 W Cable to Hitish
Swift action by Hamed caught the batsman out of his crease. He's out!

End of Over 45: 230-10, runrate=5.11
Cable 7-0-25-8
Steele* 27 (27 balls)

So far keeping the pitch on dusty hasn't helped, but lets see what my bowlers can do.

 

[Gilly Fan]

All out for 230, Syl. You gotta hope that this dry pitch helps your pacers.

 

[aussie1st]

Great start

0.4 W Hitish to Whaley
Thick inside edge onto the pads, Hitish has the cheek to appeal..... The umpire's given it! Unbelievable, he's practically middled that one! Huge show of dissent from Whaley there, he'll be lucky to keep his full match fee.

End of Over 1: 4-1, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=4.63 (230-10)
Hitish 1-0-3-1
Browne* 3 (2 balls)
Barton 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Whaley lbw b. Hitish 0 (FOW: 4/1)

Would be good to get Barton cheaply.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Good start, Syl. If you can get them on the ropes, say 3-4 wickets after 15-20 overs, you'll be in the box seat.

 

[Brett_Lee]

End of Over 50: 394-1, runrate=7.88
Hodge 10-0-74-1
Hanson* 187 (146 balls)
Staveley 66 (42 balls)

Last Wicket: Miller c. Pieters b. Hodge 128 (FOW: 271/1)

There is another update in my game against Didcott CCC

Should be able to defend that total

 

[aussie1st]

Wow that is one massive total there Brett.

Not much from my usual star Clayden.

End of Over 6: 31-1, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=4.55 (230-10)
Clayden 3-0-14-0
Browne* 18 (19 balls)
Barton 12 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Whaley lbw b. Hitish 0 (FOW: 4/1)

 

[angryangy]

That Hanson guy is an utter monster.

 

[Gilly Fan]

In trouble Syl. You'll be needing a BT collapse to get out of this one!

End of Over 50: 394-1, runrate=7.88
Hodge 10-0-74-1
Hanson* 187 (146 balls)
Staveley 66 (42 balls)

Last Wicket: Miller c. Pieters b. Hodge 128 (FOW: 271/1)

There is another update in my game against Didcott CCC

Should be able to defend that total

Wow. Brilliant total there!

 

[aussie1st]

Finally one of my spinners have done something.

15.5 W Mohammed to Barton
Clearly hitting all three!

End of Over 16: 89-2, runrate=5.56, reqrunrate=4.18 (230-10)
Mohammed 3-0-18-1
Browne* 40 (44 balls)
Hamed 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Barton lbw b. Mohammed 47 (FOW: 89/2)

Hehe Hamed v Hamed

16.5 W Hamed to Hamed
Hamed misses the ball completely and it hits the pads. Big appeal and he's given! It looked like it pitched outside leg but TV replays show it pitched on leg stump. Fantastic umpiring.

 

[rickyp]

End of Over 20: 117-2, runrate=5.85, reqrunrate=4.63 (255-10)
Khotso 5-0-32-0
Sagren* 48 (45 balls)
Harley 54 (64 balls)

They arent strong in batting depth, so I'd say if I can get 1 or 2 wickets in <5 overs thats my best chance at winning.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Syl, you gotta hope like hell that they have BT collapse.

Ricky, you need wickets. Gonna be tough if you don't.

 

[aussie1st]

Sam has been real poor so far. Hopefully my spinners can get a few more wickets and then the usual BT collapse should come assuming the match hasn't been won by then.

End of Over 26: 120-3, runrate=4.62, reqrunrate=4.63 (230-10)
Clayden 8-1-31-0
Way* 11 (24 balls)
Browne 59 (79 balls)
Last Wicket: Hamed lbw b. Hamed 0 (FOW: 90/3)

One more wicket for you Ricky should be enough to get that collapse.

 

[rickyp]

they have slowed down the batting now.

End of Over 26: 139-2, runrate=5.35, reqrunrate=4.88 (255-10)
Matjhatjhametse 3-1-8-0
Sagren* 58 (61 balls)
Harley 64 (85 balls)

If I can get the run rates to about even, then I should be able to have the collapse in the last 10 overs as well.

 

[surendar]

Syl, 1 or 2 wickets will do the trick for you as Angy have experienced a massive collapse in lower order recently. Its evenly balanced at the moment.

And Viral going very well and brett_lee has got a massive total. I doubt whether Didcott CC had placed the orders
