WHOOO! Loving those ratings!

And I won by 10 wickets. Bowled a n00b (NOT a bot!!) for just 11, and knocked it over in 2.2 overs!

 

[Jaztheman]

I lost by 7 runs but I needed 96 off the last 10 overs so I had no chance.

Pandemonium

 

[ZoraxDoom]

My batting is clearly better by a level each in top and middle, but your team will definately hold thier own in the field with an equal seam attack but better spinners and sharper fielders. Hah, Penguins field better than the Blind, who would have thunk it?

 

[voldemort]

I hope I get mediocre seam for the training that Muller gets...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

In that case, I should get Med seam too as I am training two seamers. And my middle order should get a boost as well as I am training two middle-order batsmen (One who didn't play today)...

 

[Left_Hander]

A great win for you Effine, a typical Battrick collapse saved your bacon.

 

[voldemort]

oops my bad Muller is a spinner

Awesome start to the game. Won the toss, fielding at home.

0.5 W Borrowdale to Chanderpaul
Now that's a fine piece of bowling by Borrowdale.

What more it appears he is resting his best players, his 100k BT rating player isn't playing and a number of his other good players aren't on show.

Got rid of his dead wood

5.5 W Hitish to Low
Low tries to cut, but it's not wide enough and he drags it onto his stumps!

10.5 W Borrowdale to Corcoran
Advanced, went for the big hit and picked up straight to wide long on for an easy catch.

13.5 W Clayden to Alves
Short pitched delivery, Alves attempts to pull, thick top edge sends the ball straight up. Quintus stands under it and takes a comfortable catch.

Now over to his best players for this game

End of Over 16: 44-4, runrate=2.75
Clayden 3-0-12-1
Fox* 4 (6 balls)
Pollock 16 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Alves c. Quintus b. Clayden 9 (FOW: 31/4)

Home game factor is playing a crucial role Syl And nice start too..

My match has also started just now,

We can tell you that HuntingTigers won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this sunny day.

cracked pitch... I think its first time i am playing on this pitch.. So no idea how this game is going to go..

End of Over 1: 3-0, runrate=3.00
Macdonald 1-0-3-0
Mchale* 1 (1 balls)
Beard 2 (5 balls)

 

[aussie1st]

You got the vital toss that usually is enough for you to get home.

Looks like I've caused the upset, he took me too lightly and is paying the price.

Germon is in Hayden like form atm, keeps getting 50+

15.5 1 Ruddy to Germon
Alves runs round the boundary and a quick pick up and throw prevents the second run. The spectators behind him clap after that bit of fielding.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

19.1 4 Ruddy to Masibulele
Superb shot through the gap, four runs!
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 20: 111-0, runrate=5.55, reqrunrate=3.93 (228-8)
Ruddy 5-0-34-0
Masibulele* 52 (50 balls)
Germon 59 (70 balls)

 

[surendar]

Syl, thats awesome going.. You can win it at ease from here

And in my match, i never know, cracked pitch can do so much damage,

3.1 	[B]W[/B]	Love to Mchale
 	 	Malik must have superglue on his hands to be able to hold onto that one. Magnifique!
6.2 	[B]W[/B]	Macdonald to Beard
 	 	Short pitched delivery from Macdonald has Beard fending it off from his throat.The ball takes the glove and pops up to Bishop to pouch an easy one.
7.5 	[B]W[/B]	Love to Rodgers
 	 	Got him! He's got to go. That was as plumb as the plumbiest of plumbs. Love trapped him right in front of the stumps. No hesitation from the umpire.
15.4 	[B]W[/B]	Hamed to Padayachie
 	 	Padayachie steps down the pitch and lofts it high. Everyone seems to lose it, except Alshaun, who sets himself well and clutches the ball close to his chest.
15.3 	[B]W[/B]	Hamed to Paki
 	 	Paki tries to sweep and completely miscues the shot, and the ball takes off the bails. OUT!
19.4 	[B]W	[/B]Hamed to Thatcher
 	 	He's been caught out by the slower ball there and it's looped way up into the air; he must be caught! Macdonald juggles it! And it's caught!
22.3 	[B]W[/B]	Wotton to Craig
 	 	A lazy shot by Craig. No foot movement to a ball that could easily have been left alone and an edge through to the keeper is the result.

Only thing is, i should not let the game to slip away from here like last week...

End of Over 25: 114-7, runrate=4.56
Wotton 6-1-26-1
Naidoo* 1 (7 balls)
Govender 18 (29 balls)
