Awesome stuff Suren. Your guys really are playing well Sean does give me hope when I play the top guy in my league.

Going by the pitch I think I'll need a lot more than a 200 run lead.

End of Over 47 (1 runs). Baggy Blues: 176-3, runrate=3.74 (1st Inn: 154-10)
Lead by 137 runs. (Hillside 193-10)
Flynn 8-0-31-0
Masibulele* 87 (112 balls)
Quintus 23 (73 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga b. Lefu 36 (FOW: 82/3)

Masi was on our unlucky number but scored a single in the next over.

Bridges* 61 (56 balls)
Noon 81 (119 balls)
Last Wicket: Jepson c. Cumberworth b. Horton 72 (FOW: 214/4)

Btw, I am facing a woe bowling line up with Resp spin on an uneven track.

I can't win because there is NO WAY in the world that I'll get the remarkable top order out!

 

[surendar]

Syl, you can still win with lead over 200 is what i somehow feel

And Sean, that was a awesome comeback.. Who knows, your bowlers might give you a suprise as well.

And in my match,

60.3 1 Ali to Bishop
Chops it away but can't beat Chanderpaul, who holds the batsmen to a single.
And that's a century for Bishop! Well played indeed Sir!

First ever century for this young man! Well played...

End of Over 63 (10 runs, 1lb). HuntingTigers: 239-3, runrate=3.79
Lead by 41 runs. (Mann 198-10)
Ali 22-3-93-3
Field* 32 (66 balls)
Bishop 106 (191 balls)

Last Wicket: Alshaun lbw b. Ali 62 (FOW: 162/3)

 

[aussie1st]

Whats your opponent like Suren? My guys are scoring quicker than yours and my opponent is about the same as me.

Bat for the draw Sean that's your best result as a declaration invites his remarkable top order to win the game.

I don't want to do what Angy did last week and make a generous declaration and lose. I think I will keep my declaration at 500 if they some how make it there.

End of Over 56 (6 runs). Baggy Blues: 206-3, runrate=3.68 (1st Inn: 154-10)
Lead by 167 runs. (Hillside 193-10)
Griffiths 14-1-46-2
Masibulele* 97 (138 balls)
Quintus 40 (102 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga b. Lefu 36 (FOW: 82/3)

3 more Masi, Quintus on defensive has played much better.

Masi first FC 100 now.

57.1 1 Griffiths to Masibulele
Good running - one to the total.
And that's a century for Masibulele! Well played indeed Sir!

Bat for the draw Sean that's your best result as a declaration invites his remarkable top order to win the game.

I doubt I'll bat all day tomorrow.

End of Over 88 (Maiden). Aussie Bombers: 363-4, runrate=4.13 (1st Inn: 201-10)
Lead by 160 runs. (Legless XI 404-0 dec)
Muscat 15-3-38-0
Bridges* 81 (96 balls)
Noon 89 (159 balls)
Last Wicket: Jepson c. Cumberworth b. Horton 72 (FOW: 214/)

88.2 W Cumberworth to Bridges
That's a classy looking drive with one major problem, he missed the ball. The clatter of the ball hitting the stumps confirms his departure.

No hope of me drawing the game now.

End of Over 89 (4 runs). Aussie Bombers: 367-5, runrate=4.12 (1st Inn: 201-10)
Lead by 164 runs. (Legless XI 404-0 dec)
Cumberworth 18-4-54-1
Noon* 89 (159 balls)
Charlton 4 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Bridges b. Cumberworth 81 (FOW: 363/5)

90.1 W Cumberworth to Noon
What a cracking ball. Noon couldn't do much about that one.

I'll be getting a bowl tonight me thinks.

 

[surendar]

Syl, my opponent has mediocre seam bowling and useless spin.. So he should be using only the pace bowlers...

End of Over 81 (5 runs). HuntingTigers: 311-4, runrate=3.84
Lead by 113 runs. (Mann 198-10)
Abdul kadir 13-2-53-0
Bishop* 132 (240 balls)
Paki 21 (34 balls)

Last Wicket: Field b. Padayachie 48 (FOW: 267/4)

Declaration expected in another 100 runs provided no collapse occurs

 

[angryangy]

Fighting Mongooses 4/177 (53.0)
Browne 62
Way 55
Kiely 2/42 (18.0)
Graves 2/52 (15.0)

Fighting Mongooses lead by 339 runs. Plenty on the board as yet, but seeing as there is also plenty of time left, I'd be happy to push the target to 400. If nothing else, I'd like the middle order to have a crack.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Aussie Bombers 7/423 (99.0)
Noon 95
Bridges 81
Robinson 31
Charlton 36*
Horton 5/42 (24.0)
Cumberworth 2/66 (20.0)

It's simple. I bat all day, I get a draw. I get out before tea, I lose.
More than likely that I'll lose, but I'll still bat as long as I can tomorrow.

No way that I can win, as that remarkable top order won't go out against my feeble seam attack.

 

[aussie1st]

Wish my tail wagged like your one is Sean.
Your guys seem to have picked up the pace Suren.

I ended the day well
4/289 from 75 overs (Masibulele 139*, Germon 36*) Once again these two are forming a good partnership. Might promote Germon higher next game.

I have a lead of exactly 250, I'll declare with another 150 runs which should take me to lunch and then 2 sessions to bowl him out.

 

[Hooper]

What the hell, I made over 300

Total (98.0 overs, 10 wickets) 342

Then they post a great score

Total (85.3 overs, 10 wickets) 425

Then I get skittled for this?!

Total (11.5 overs, 10 wickets) 16

What the heck is going on? I can't get 8 ducks in an innings after making 300 in the first innings?

Has anybody else had any results like these and is this a bug?

 

[aussie1st]

That's very random. Only thing I can think of is he didn't get his settings right. In saying that you do have a woeful batting lineup so with a strong bowler that clicks a collapse is very likely.

 

[surendar]

Unlucky Jordo..

And Syl, you are already in commanding position. Hope you win it by tom.

And in my match,

End of Over 25 (4 runs). Mann: 50-3, runrate=2.00 (1st Inn: 198-10)
Trail by 162 runs. (HuntingTigers 410-5 dec)
Malik 1-0-4-0
Hitish* 3 (4 balls)
Norris 4 (30 balls)
Last Wicket: Chanderpaul b. Wotton 27 (FOW: 46/3)

After crossing 400, we declared and now already managed to pick 3 wickets.

 

[aussie1st]

Awesome stuff Suren could finish it off by today the way you're going.

Yeah...but...but...but..a 8 ducks and Bennet failed!!!

 

[Gilly Fan]

Wish my tail wagged like your one is Sean.

Just put all your last 5 batters on very defensive.
