Yeh I will try that on Sunday

Is that Chavvies top score?

Highest this season but 178 is his highest. Still can't get that magic 400 mark or 200 for a player.

The rise of my new bowler.
Mampe 5-1-16-4

Another 4 fer for my star all rounder

End of Over 17: 39-10, runrate=2.29
Sawyer 1-0-2-4
Butcher* 1 (1 balls)

Wonder if Sawyer will get MOTM for his 60 odd and 4 wickets.

End of Over 19: 120-0, runrate=6.32, reqrunrate=2.29 (190-10)
Warnock 3-0-19-0
Whittingham* 61 (53 balls)
Holmshaw 55 (62 balls)


18.6 1 Warnock to Whittingham
Lifted over the inner ring to deep mid wicket.
18.5 4 Warnock to Whittingham
Whittingham gives that ball what it deserves... that's four runs all the way. Warnock should consider adjusting his run up.
18.4 1 Warnock to Holmshaw
Nudged off his pads, that keeps the scoreboard ticking over.
18.3 . Warnock to Holmshaw
There was a lovely shape to that ball, which the batsman watchfully defended.
18.2 . Warnock to Holmshaw
Played around the pads, fine leg quick on the ball.
18.1 . Warnock to Holmshaw
A slower ball there, which catches Holmshaw unawares. There is a thick inside edge onto the pad and the ball trickles over to Boulton.

Im winning this one and this team is second, im first of course.

Good to see some new teams coming in
Nice going CDM

Chavhanga got MOTM for his 170, Sawyer all round efforts not enough.

I am bowling on a H&F

End of Over 40: 210-2, runrate=5.25, reqrunrate=8.30 (292-6)

TO

End of Over 43: 222-6, runrate=5.16, reqrunrate=10.14 (292-6)

This is what happens due to poor PFL and form management... He has a superb and a strong bat, also a superb bowler...

 

[Jaztheman]

Bowled Izzy(4th) out for 19, with Sotho and Lekgwathi bowling fantastic! Although Lekgwathi was a bit expensive...

Name	O	M	R	W	nb	wd
Sotho	4.3	2	15	6	1	0
Lekgwathi	4	2	4	3	1	2

We chased 20 down in 4.0 overs, Wylie getting 14*(18) and Rose getting 6*(6).

Greenbank
Top Order: proficient
Middle Order: mediocre
Lower Order: woeful
Seam Bowling: respectable
Spin Bowling :competent
Fielding: mediocre

Not my strongest team though.

Playing in my Warm Up game for the Shield i'm farewelling 4 players (3 are playing) and debuting 2

End of Over 17: 103-0, runrate=6.06
Caskey 4-0-26-0
Kemp* 55 (53 balls)
Fontaine 40 (50 balls)

Kemp seems to be enjoying his new opening role and Fontaine is making the most of his last match after being with my squad since the beginning

17.4 W Shorey to Fontaine
The arm ball hits his pad right in front of off stump. Easy decision for the umpire there.

Thanks for the service Justin Lets send you out a winner

My team is getting crushed by Viral's team already,

Viral's team, End of Over 20: 105-0, runrate=5.25
Hamed 3-0-19-0
Bhutia* 44 (52 balls)
Dangasela 57 (68 balls)

I can sense some huge margin victory for Viral.

 

[FreddieFan]

Playing my strongest team against BFN, fantastic start:

0.4 W Ludlam to Spiller
Edged! And taken by a tumbling Basson!

1.3 W Alder to Meyer
That's a high ball and... caught! Beautifully judged catch there. The breeze caused the ball to swirl but he's taken it cleanly.

4.5 W Ludlam to Nicholls
The only thing the ball was missing was the bat.

Then a small partnership was built. Then Dodd came on. In his first over:

11.2 W Dodd to Gore
Stunning wicket keeping from Basson. He saw Gore overbalance, drag his foot and in the blink of an eye the bails were on the floor. The third umpire confirms it. That's out!

11.3 W Dodd to Mainey
OUT! A huge mistimed pull shot, the ball balloons in the air and Ludlam takes an easy catch straight down his throat.

11.4 W Dodd to Barnard
That's a great shot by Barnard, but unfortunately it is matched by a great catch from Earle and he's out!

11.5 W Dodd to Samuel
The umpire raises his finger for LBW. Samuel is staring at the edge of his bat, he's obviously not pleased at that decision!

(No hat trick, there was a wide in the middle)

End of Over 12: 25-7, runrate=2.08
Dodd 1-0-2-4
Glody* 10 (34 balls)
Kelly 0 (1 balls)

As its stands.

Pretty impressive win by my 2nd 11. Bowling wasn't too flash hot conceding 311 in 50 overs.

In reply after 40 overs

End of Over 40: 219-3, runrate=5.48, reqrunrate=9.30 (311-7)
Calvert 10-0-75-1
Lee* 1 (3 balls)
Qayyam 31 (43 balls)

Last Wicket: Sayce b. Calvert 104 (FOW: 213/3)

With 2 balls left I was 3/307, bang two 4s to win the game by Qayyam. Tried Quintus as opener but he failed.

 

[surendar]

That was a wonderful win, Syl.

Well in my match, Viral's batting remained solid throughout and they ended up in 282 runs.

In my reply so far,

End of Over 27: 153-3, runrate=5.67, reqrunrate=5.65 (282-4)
Moodley 7-0-33-0
Alshaun* 4 (4 balls)
Malik 67 (75 balls)
Last Wicket: Walton b. Hindle 10 (FOW: 149/3)

It could go in either way.

 

[viral1991]

End of Over 32: 175-3, runrate=5.47, reqrunrate=6.00 (282-4)
Govender	6-0-37-0
Malik*	79 (91 balls)
Alshaun	12 (18 balls)

This is going to be a tight encounter. Your two best batsmen are playing impressively. And your batsmen are not at all lazy in this game.

@Syl : That's a big win.

 

[surendar]

You are almost in the driver's seat with RRR climbing and wickets going,

End of Over 43: 229-5, runrate=5.33, reqrunrate=7.71 (282-4)
Searle 7-0-34-2
Paki* 7 (9 balls)
Alshaun 50 (48 balls)
Last Wicket: Field c. Hindle b. Searle 1 (FOW: 212/5)

My skip is my last hope :upray

Well, Game set and Match : Sri krishna team.

End of Over 46: 247-6, runrate=5.37, reqrunrate=9.00 (282-4)
Fordham 8-0-59-0
Alshaun* 58 (56 balls)
Love 6 (5 balls)

With lower order batsmen failing to rise up, nothing can be expected from HT!

 

[viral1991]

That tilts the match. Alshuan can still win it for you, Suren.
