Baig 10 (16 balls)

22.5 W Longrigg to Whittington
Out. A top edged pull shot is taken by Tahir diving to his left.

Finally picked up a wicket a while ago.

End of Over 27: 148-1, runrate=5.48, reqrunrate=9.70 (370-4)
Longrigg 7-0-29-1
Leonard* 80 (95 balls)
Sullivan 9 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Whittington c. Tahir b. Longrigg 51 (FOW: 122/1)

Nice economical start, Syl.

38.5 W Caskey to Leonard
It's going higher and higher and higher, but Tahir's under it and it's an easy catch.

Good work there.

End of Over 39: 219-2, runrate=5.62, reqrunrate=13.82 (370-4)
Caskey 8-0-45-1

I want Zorax to log in already!

42.3 W Lisbie to Pulis
That's hit him above the knee-roll. Pulis won't be pleased with that decision.
42.2 W Lisbie to Blakeman
Blakeman wafts outside the off stump and produces a thick edge straight into the gloves of the waiting Bridges.

Nice work from Lisbie. He missed out on the hattrick...

End of Over 43: 248-4, runrate=5.77, reqrunrate=17.57 (370-4)
Lisbie 7-0-29-2
Rea* 2 (2 balls)
Sullivan 64 (63 balls)
Last Wicket: Pulis lbw b. Lisbie 0 (FOW: 245/4)

47.1 W Handbury to Sullivan
Sullivan is not happy with that. Everything was wrong. It pitched outside leg and he got an inside edge, but the umpire's given him out. He might get a fine for waiting so long before walking off.

Another wicket.

48.4 W Lisbie to Allison
That's gone for four byes. Wait, what's going on here? Oh my, apparently the ball just kissed the top of leg stump and knocked the bail off and only the keeper knew what was really happening! Great bowling.

Very nice.

And that's the end of the match. Gillys Demolition Team won by 63 runs.

[Griffo]

I dont think Myall was the be all end all, think about the balls he faced if they were given to another batsmen

Reporters Summary?

 

[aussie1st]

What an over by Hamed.

32.3 W Hamed to Baig
A slow one from Hamed and Baig has misread and played his shot far too early. The ball takes advantage of an open gate.

32.6 W Hamed to Burhanuddin
That's gone! Burhanuddin launched himself at it, but only succeeded in picking out the fielder in the deep.

42.2 W Hitish to Nisar
Movement from the pitch has seen Nisar bowled, that ball looked fairly innocuous at first.

End of Over 43: 204-3, runrate=4.74
Hitish 7-0-30-1
Ansari* 13 (24 balls)
Tuckett 5 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Nisar b. Hitish 108 (FOW: 198/3)

 

[surendar]

Great going Syl till now.. Tuckett reminds me TT Lions But have to wait and see the target and first 15 overs of BB's batting

And my players finally got a two days gap to rest..

 

[aussie1st]

Not too bad of an effort although on uneven this is to be expected. Not much hope of winning without my star 2 batters but will be interesting seeing how they will go.

End of Over 50: 261-3, runrate=5.22
Sam 10-0-57-0
Ansari* 40 (46 balls)
Tuckett 35 (23 balls)
Last Wicket: Nisar b. Hitish 108 (FOW: 198/3)

Reporters Summary?

Yeah, but if he went out early, the score could've been considerably lower, and WW still made 307.

Playing my mates side who are brand new and on -500K he had some quality players too but he's starting again.


End of Over 5: 29-0, runrate=5.80

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I was at school.

Lost badly. 351/2 to 86 a/o. Fontaine is better than all the batters in my team bar one skill wise. And my team's PFL has been shot to pieces. I rested 2 frontline bowlers (Lewis Carey and Cory Camebridge), my regular keeper (Brookes) and a main batsman (Frankie Gomez).

My best bowler had Worthless stamina. Took 1/50. He had WAYY better PFL though.

 

[Leicester Fox]

End of Over 32: 218-1, runrate=6.81
Beevers 6-0-37-1
Blair* 105 (89 balls)
Thay 35 (44 balls)
Last Wicket: Cockerill c. Kewell b. Beevers 61 (FOW: 122/1)

400 a possibilty with his bowling and 200 for Blair very possible

33.3 W Beevers to Blair
Beevers rolls his fingers over the seam and produces a great off cutter. Blair spots it too late and misses. Great bowling.

it was a possibilty

 

[Gilly Fan]

400 a possibilty with his bowling and 200 for Blair very possible


it was a possibilty

Same thing happened to me earlier today.

Syl said that Myall was a possibility for 200, then he went out.

Abbey 10-0-82-0
Thay* 117 (99 balls)
Hall 60 (45 balls)
Last Wicket: Blair b. Beevers 117 (FOW: 231/2)

Not bad, didn't score quick enough after Blair got out for 400

And that's the end of the match. Broady won by 252 runs.
Broady 373-2

Mcleod* 0 (1 balls)

Sadlier took 5 in the end, a good win as i'd expect against such an awful side

 

[angryangy]

Fontaine continues to defy logic.... He is no better than any of Zoraxs players but is always quality for me

Judging by his wage, he is very high sub-level mediocre in batting, probably a high sub-level concentration too.
