[Griffo]

Congrats Zorax!!!

I won by 5 wickets with 5 overs left to spare, im liking my chances of top 4 this season unless FC games wear me down

 

[ZoraxDoom]

You may have been a bit hasty with that congrats.

:crying

First over was solid same can't be said for the 2nd.

1.3 W Singh to Masibulele
Masibulele chips that straight to the man at short extra cover. Singh raises his arms and Masibulele walks off.

 

[Hooper]

0.3 W Mccafferty to Fontaine
Lofted in the air towards deep mid wicket. Mcmaster runs in and dives forwards to take a great catch.

Haha, Griffo will suffer now! He was talking up his big name player Fontaine and now he is gone in the first over I think he was talking up his "star batsmen"

 

[aussie1st]

Hehe poor Griffo

Singh is killing me

5.6 W Singh to Germon
And it's been caught! Marvellous fielding there, absolutely marvellous!

I hope someone stays with Chav he is looking in awesome touch today.

6.2 4 Samuel to Chavhanga
Ker-ching! Chavhanga wastes no time cashing in on Samuel's mis-directed delivery. A graceful square cut races to the offside boundary.

7.1 4 Singh to Chavhanga
A wide half-volley is met by a glorious cover drive from Chavhanga and it goes all the way to the boundary.

End of Over 8: 36-2, runrate=4.50
Singh 4-1-15-2
Chavhanga* 19 (19 balls)
Quintus 1 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Germon c. Nicholls b. Singh 14 (FOW: 22/2)

Been a few 6s lately

16.5 6 Pinnock to Quintus
Quintus has absolutely smashed that for six! The fielder didn't even bother to move.

And an awesome one to bring up the 50

18.1 6 Pinnock to Chavhanga
The ball was pitched too short and Chavhanga quickly lofted it into the home dressing room.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

 

[surendar]

It seems that its Chav's turn to kill the bowlers Good going inspite of those two wickets.

 

[aussie1st]

New season best time for him to refind form

Was getting a bit bogged down until

26.5 4 Pinnock to Chavhanga
Worked around to fine leg, misfield and a boundary is the result.

27.4 4 Barnard to Chavhanga
Shot!!!! Timed to perfection, four runs.

About time Quintus upped the rate he is going even slower than Katich would!

28.2 4 Pinnock to Quintus
Bowling lesson number 72: If you bowl there, you will be punished. Four to add to the total.

End of Over 31: 140-2, runrate=4.52
Pinnock 9-0-47-0
Chavhanga* 79 (90 balls)
Quintus 42 (69 balls)
Last Wicket: Germon c. Nicholls b. Singh 14 (FOW: 22/2)

Dam that Ray

32.3 W Pinnock to Ray
Ray was caught out by the googly from Pinnock, easy decision for the umpire
32.2 W Pinnock to Quintus
The arm ball hits his pad right in front of off stump. Easy decision for the umpire there.

Sure wasn't expecting this from captain Steele.

33.2 6 Bird to Steele
A pre-empted slog, and it has paid off, the ball just cleared the rope.

34.5 6 Barnard to Steele
SIX! Steele comes down the pitch and smashes an overpitched ball for six over cover.

Well played Chav

38.2 1 Barnard to Chavhanga
Smacked back down the pitch. Barnard takes some pace off it so it's just a single.
And that's a century for Chavhanga! Well played indeed Sir!

End of Over 42: 204-4, runrate=4.86
Barnard 9-1-54-0
Steele* 24 (28 balls)
Chavhanga 117 (125 balls)

Last Wicket: Ray lbw b. Pinnock 0 (FOW: 146/4)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Chav!!!!!

 

[aussie1st]

Steele is going amazing for a comp batter against max's attack.

42.4 4 Singh to Steele
Half volley on leg-stump, smashed away for four.
42.5 4 Singh to Steele
How hard was that hit? Short of a length and Steele seemed to have been expecting it. He went right back and pulled ferociously behind square. No chance for any of the fielders.

44.4 4 Singh to Steele

Fantastic shot by Steele! Shortish straight ball, pulled powerfully through mid wicket. Deep square leg is helpless to stop that rocket.
44.3 4 Singh to Steele
Steele flashes at that one, and the slips watch in dismay as it scuttles to the boundary. A bit streaky that.

Oh that sucks Steele is run out for 49.

45.3 W Samuel to Steele
What a mess, they were both running around like headless chickens. Steele has been stranded halfway down the track.

Excellent start by Sawyer

45.5 4 Samuel to Sawyer
Sawyer flashes at that one, and the slips watch in dismay as it scuttles to the boundary. A bit streaky that.
45.6 4 Samuel to Sawyer
Drives along the ground to long off.

End of Over 46: 251-5, runrate=5.46
Samuel 8-0-42-0
Chavhanga* 129 (135 balls)
Sawyer 8 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Steele Run Out 49 (FOW: 243/5)

Much better than the under 100 score I made last time against him. Will need a real good effort from the bowlers to defend this though.

End of Over 50: 266-9, runrate=5.32
Samuel 10-0-50-2
Hitish* 1 (1 balls)
Clayden 2 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Mohammed c. Gore b. Samuel 1 (FOW: 265/9)

 

[Griffo]

[aussie1st]

Not the greatest start by my pacemen.

End of Over 8: 49-0, runrate=6.13, reqrunrate=5.19 (266-9)
Clayden 4-0-24-0
Meyer* 27 (26 balls)
Mainey 18 (22 balls)

Bowlers should hopefully do some magic, Syl Hamed and Hitesh are the players to watch

You were right about Hamed, Suren

12.1 W Hamed to Meyer
Attempted the reverse sweep, but misreads the length and is bowled.
