In my match, the bowlers bowled very nicely to restrict them. And the batsmen are doing a good job!

 End of Over 19: 102-2, runrate=5.37, reqrunrate=2.03 (164-10)
Richardson	5-0-32-0
Sagren*	62 (44 balls)

Avoiding promotion I like to call it letting more deserving teams go up

Can't believe your work blocked BT.

Pretty easy update for your game

HuntingTigers 0/65 13.1 overs (Bartlett 39 (39), Rampaul 24 (40))

It's not different from my school.

 

[Left_Hander]

My school hasn't blocked it but I wasn't able to get onto a computer.

Had a dissapointing loss. Batted first on a slow pitch and made around 200. Oppostion chased down in about 40 overs. Sad thing is this is a team that came last, last season but because of some bots coming into my league he has finished 5th.

 

[arunj1]

damn it..:...Lost today's match by 2 runs

 

[Gilly Fan]

We can tell you that Record Breakers won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this partially cloudy and humid day.

Didn't even know that my match had started half an hour ago.

.6 4 Longrigg to Ardley
No, no, no, no. You don't pitch it short and wide to Ardley - he'll punish you every time. An absolute rocket to the boundary.

End of Over 9: 47-0, runrate=5.22
Longrigg 5-1-27-0
Salahuddin* 16 (19 balls)
Ardley 29 (35 balls)

They're off to a good start.

End of Over 10: 55-0, runrate=5.50
Lisbie 5-0-26-0
Ardley* 31 (38 balls)
Salahuddin 22 (22 balls)

Poor over from Lisbie. 8 from it.

End of Over 13: 65-0, runrate=5.00
Longrigg 7-1-35-0
Salahuddin* 24 (26 balls)
Ardley 39 (52 balls)

I need some wickets.

 

[borncricketer]

Bowling first against viral... wasnt able to get the early wickets i wanted...

End of Over 10: 54-0, runrate=5.40
Chanderpaul 5-0-35-0
Moodley* 24 (34 balls)
Harley 29 (26 balls)

Wooohoo Finally

12.1 W Masilo to Moodley
Movement from the pitch has seen Moodley bowled, that ball looked fairly innocuous at first.

Ali strikes first over

14.5 W Ali to Harley
Through the gate went the ball, and to the pavilion went Harley. A great wicket taking delivery!

Rampaul Double strike!!

17.1 W Rampaul to Sagren
Out! A brilliant ball - pitches well outside the line but jags back far enough to find the stumps. Sagren shakes his head in disappointment as he heads for the pavilion.

17.6 W Rampaul to Robson
That's magnificent! Rampaul has Robson caught and bowled.

End of Over 18: 85-4, runrate=4.72
Rampaul 4-0-20-2
Dangasela* 7 (4 balls)
Haishen 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Robson c & b. Rampaul 10 (FOW: 85/4)

18.5 4 Alnwick to Ardley
Ardley showed Alnwick absolutely no respect there! It was a decent delivery pitched up on off stump, but Ardley carved it over cow corner for four runs. Alnwick does not look happy at all!
18.4 4 Alnwick to Ardley
Alnwick has his head in his hands after Ardley finds the boundary, punishing a short ball.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Damn, back to back fours.

End of Over 19: 97-0, runrate=5.11
Alnwick 3-0-16-0
Salahuddin* 39 (44 balls)
Ardley 56 (70 balls)

You're on fire, BC! Great bowling!

Meanwhile, in the semi final. Tahir is smashed for 6.

19.6 6 Tahir to Ardley
Ardley has just clobbered it! six runs all the way!

End of Over 22: 108-0, runrate=4.91
Caskey 1-0-1-0
Salahuddin* 42 (52 balls)
Ardley 64 (80 balls)

Great bowling from Caskey. Only one from it.

Well my match has started too,

We can tell you that HuntingTigers won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this sunny day.

This is what i expected... And a good start from by opening bowler,

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

Then partnership started to develop...

End of Over 13: 55-1, runrate=4.23
Macdonald 7-1-33-1
Yousuf* 27 (38 balls)
Qadeer 24 (28 balls)
Last Wicket: Mohmand lbw b. Macdonald 1 (FOW: 4/1)

Badly need a breakthrough.. But on a flat surface, its expected. Only worrying factor is my players PFL is bad

Wotton strikes in very first over.. and a second LBW,

14.6 W Wotton to Yousuf
Absolutely plumb! By the time the bowler looked back to the umpire, the finger was already up.

Scorecard at the moment,

End of Over 16: 70-2, runrate=4.38

Hamed 1-0-6-0
Gauhar* 5 (2 balls)
Qadeer 27 (34 balls)
Last Wicket: Yousuf lbw b. Wotton 34 (FOW: 64/2)

Another breakthrough... This time its run-out.

18.6 W Wotton to Gauhar
Great fielding from Paki! diving to his right he got back to his feet quickly and threw when off balance. Direct hit, the batsman had no chance!

I can see bowlers having a bit tough time in this flat pitch.. especially Hamed.

End of Over 20: 91-3, runrate=4.55

Hamed 3-0-18-0
Qadeer* 33 (40 balls)
Alshaun 4 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Gauhar Run Out 15 (FOW: 84/3)

Hamed 3-0-18-0 This is a bad sign for Hamed. Lets see...

Their team Alshaun is killing Hamed :

21.6 	[B]4[/B]	Hamed to Alshaun
 	 	Big slog sweep from Alshaun, Alshaun is under it, but he can't reach it. It bounces just inside the rope. 4 runs.

21.4 	1	Hamed to Qadeer
 	 	Neatly flicked off his hips towards square leg and they scamper through for a single, nicely played.
21.3 	[B]4[/B]	Hamed to Qadeer
 	 	Wide delivery, Qadeer found the gap past gully.
21.2 	1	Hamed to Alshaun
 	 	Pushed to mid off, excellent running by Alshaun earns a single.
21.1 	[B]6	[/B]Hamed to Alshaun
 	 	Alshaun has lined it up. It's long enough, it's high enough, it's straight over the ropes!

This is turning worse... Scorecard atm,

End of Over 22: 109-3, runrate=4.95
Hamed 4-0-34-0
Qadeer* 39 (45 balls)
Alshaun 16 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Gauhar Run Out 15 (FOW: 84/3)

 

[borncricketer]

Gilly jus need some wickets to peg them back...

Suren same thing, started well but now jus a wicket or so would be awesome

Picked up 3 more wickets here

End of Over 33: 123-7, runrate=3.73
Ali 10-1-22-3
Dangasela* 32 (37 balls)
Al ameen 3 (20 balls)

Last Wicket: Moodley lbw b. Ali 0 (FOW: 109/7)

Ali finishes with very very impressive figures ripped thru the middle order and we are now into the tail

EDIT
And as expected Rampaul comes back to bowl at the tail -

33.3 W Rampaul to Al ameen
Beautiful delivery finds an edge. Abdul kadir grabs it, the appeals go up. He's out.

 

[surendar]

Amazing going BC.. Send that Ali to bowl some overs for my match now.

Badly in need of wickets,

End of Over 27: 125-3, runrate=4.63
Wotton 7-0-26-1
Alshaun* 24 (30 balls)
Qadeer 47 (56 balls)
Last Wicket: Gauhar Run Out 15 (FOW: 84/3)

 

[borncricketer]

haha well atleast the scoring has gone down a bit

End of Over 36: 126-8, runrate=3.50
Rampaul 8-2-22-3
Dangasela* 34 (41 balls)
Searle 1 (12 balls)

Last Wicket: Al ameen c. Abdul kadir b. Rampaul 3 (FOW: 124/8)

anyways i am off to bed...hopefully batting does as well

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

End of Over 37: 221-1, runrate=5.97
Schalk 7-0-37-0
Karthikeyan* 108 (104 balls)
Shipp 108 (112 balls)

Last Wicket: Mceverley b. Ridley 1 (FOW: 1/1)

Mceverly disappointed me i gave him a prestigious chance but he ...... :

 

[aussie1st]

Nice work BC you should win it from here.
Those early wickets should mean Hamed cleans it up at the death.
Not looking good for you Gilly.
