I'm bottom of my FC league and haven't won a game. Some of you have it easy!

Hezeltine 1-0-9-0
Cockerill* 71 (69 balls)

Moving along nicely, maybe Blair can finally get that 200 he's repeatedly come so close too!
 
Now here is some ownage, once again Chav doesn't get to bat.

Finally Duminda is doing something! Must win game for us too! But we wont win!
31.1 3 Mirfin to Duminda
Duminda has hit that right off the meat of the bat. Past long on for 3.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Soares 7-0-47-4
Folkes* 112 (127 balls)
Moodley 1 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Duminda b. Soares 81 (FOW: 216/4)
Out at the wrong time Duminda! Folkes is going well though, all he needs to do now is take a 5for in their innings :)

Customary last 10 over Battrick collapse :(

A peach of a delivery! An inswinging yorker and Mann is just standing there looking at his stumps
Yes, yes, yes! Perfect start!

Thay* 74 (64 balls)
Mapes 59 (49 balls)
Last Wicket: Cockerill st. Sale b. Hezeltine 111 (FOW: 251/2)
Nowhere near enough runs! Should still win but I'm lacking some key bowlers so it might not be easy.

Actually it will :D wicket first ball

0.1 W Mckenna to Sale
A very quick delivery and a slight noise on the way through. The umpire had to give it. As Mckenna and Cockerill wheel away in celebration, Sale walks off.
 
End of Over 16: 110-1, runrate=6.88
Lisbie 3-0-15-0
Abdul kadir* 57 (51 balls)
Ahmed 31 (24 balls)
Last Wicket: Folkes c. Bridges b. Tahir 19 (FOW: 44/1)

Lisbie bowling the best out of the lot.
 
Finally a wicket the best of bowler so far too.

27.3 W Hamed to Ainsworth
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, Ainsworth is on his way back to the pavilion.

End of Over 28: 160-1, runrate=5.71
Hamed 4-0-16-1
Folkes* 1 (3 balls)
Green 61 (78 balls)
Last Wicket: Ainsworth b. Hamed 89 (FOW: 159/1)

Will be chasing over 300 making it a certain loss now.
 
End of Over 37: 160-3, runrate=4.32
Moodley 9-1-38-0
Dawson* 4 (8 balls)
Blake 4 (11 balls)

Last Wicket: Hammond c. Browne b. Wharrad 110 (FOW: 156/3)

Hammond with another clinical performance.
The Danger man Dawson has just hit the crease.

End of Over 42: 207-6, runrate=4.93
Cable 6-0-21-3
Dawson* 29 (23 balls)
Lightbody 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Virgo c. Wharrad b. Cable 4 (FOW: 207/6)


41.6 W Cable to Virgo
When you hit them that hard, they really can go anywhere, and that one went straight to Wharrad

41.5 4 Cable to Virgo
Oh dear, Moodley can't cut that off and the crowd are giving him some stick. Oh, now that's not fair! I happen to know he actually has big bones and there are plenty of pies left in the pavilion.
[B]41.4 W Cable to Blackstock
As fools go, Blackstock could probably get a job as a court jester. You don't dance down the wicket to Cable's spin when he's pitching it there. Unquestionably OUT! [/B]

41.3 1 Cable to Dawson
A touch short. Dawson, on the back foot, drives to the sweeper.
41.2 1 Cable to Blackstock
Smacked down to long off for the single.
41.1 1 Cable to Dawson
The batsman comes down the pitch but he can only force a single to mid wicket.

Cable has just swang the match Fighting Mongooses way.

Its all falling apart for the Rabbitohs as Lightbody goes.
End of Over 43: 214-7, runrate=4.98
Sheppard 7-0-42-2
Dawson* 31 (25 balls)
Barlow 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Lightbody lbw b. Sheppard 5 (FOW: 214/7)


42.6 W Sheppard to Lightbody
HOWZAT? Out! Lightbody played down the wrong line and is hit plumb in front of the stumps.
42.5 4 Sheppard to Lightbody
Beautiful cover drive races to the fence. That's four runs for Lightbody. You won't see a better shot today.
42.4 1 Sheppard to Dawson
Opened the face of the bat, guided to third man as the fielder runs in from the boundary.
42.3 1 Sheppard to Lightbody
On the front foot, worked around to deep square region.
42.2 . Sheppard to Lightbody
Good bowling there, Sheppard got Lightbody fishing for that one.
42.1 1 Sheppard to Dawson
A big heave-ho across the line and somehow he's got away with it. Ugly shot.

Dawson Rescues the Rabbitohs with qucik fire 50 off 33 balls.

45.2 1 Cable to Dawson
Slogged away to the man in the deep. Good fielding keeps it down to one.
45.1 4 Cable to Dawson
Excellent cover drive from Dawson and well fielded by the security man behind the boundary rope. Four runs.
And that's his fifty! Well played.


End of Over 45: 234-7, runrate=5.20
Sheppard 8-0-57-2
Dawson* 48 (33 balls)
Barlow 3 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Lightbody lbw b. Sheppard 5 (FOW: 214/7)


44.6 1 Sheppard to Dawson
Almost run out! They really shouldn't have run that single.
44.5 3 Sheppard to Barlow
Gently stroked to mid off, misfield and three runs is the result.
44.4 1 Sheppard to Dawson
Played out to extra cover for the single.
44.3 4 Sheppard to Dawson
Dawson timed that to perfection right out the middle of the bat. If the fielding side had a whippet fielding he wouldn't catch that!
44.2 2 Sheppard to Dawson
Short ball, and pulled away. The man in the deep cuts it off, but fumbles it, allowing the batsmen to sprint back for the second. Good running.
44.1 4 Sheppard to Dawson
A smashing cover drive by Dawson splits the field and the ball races to the boundary - four runs!

Rolled with seven balls to spare.
Going to have to bowl well.

End of Over 49: 264-10, runrate=5.39
Sheppard 9-0-70-4
Dawson* 68 (42 balls)



48.5 W Sheppard to Devonish
Played all over that - silly boy! I hope he likes breakfast cereals, particularly the 'Cheerio' variety because that's the chant he's now getting from the crowd.
48.4 . Sheppard to Devonish
Excellent line from Sheppard. It was in the corridor and just seamed slightly away from Devonish.
48.3 . Sheppard to Devonish
Onto the back foot, but Devonish only manages to push it to Miah. Tossed back to the bowler, and that's good sensible cricket.
48.2 . Sheppard to Devonish
Pushed to Whaley at short cover. No real urgency from either team there.
48.1 1 Sheppard to Dawson
Dawson defends on the front foot. Sloppy fielding gives away a single.

Ahmed 2-0-15-0
Myall* 48 (39 balls)
Robinson 46 (46 balls)

I must say, it's complete domination at the moment.
 
lol its called PFL problems :crying

I was a bit cocky.

27.5 4 Tau to Myall
Waits on it and a great late cut.
And that's a century for Myall! Well played indeed Sir!
28.6 W Ali to Myall
Nicely flighted ball pitches on middle and off stump, spins across Myall who tries to sweep but misses the ball and is bowled behind his legs.

Massive wicket. Massive. Could change the game.
End of Over 33: 197-1, runrate=5.97, reqrunrate=6.59 (308-3)
Ali 10-0-53-1

Jepson 4 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Myall b. Ali 104 (FOW: 179/1)

I think it has! :(
 
Ahh crap...

35.4 W Ahmed to Sturgess
Wicket ball. That's through the defences and Ahmed has his man.

35.3 W Ahmed to Robinson
Don't know what he was thinking there - Tau has a very good arm. Robinson's well short of his ground; didn't even need the replay.

Game over my friend.

End of Over 36: 214-3, runrate=5.94, reqrunrate=6.79 (308-3)
Ahmed 8-0-37-1

Well played Born Cricketer.

I'm happy with the way I played. Only a 24 run loss. If only Myall could stay in. :(
