66.3 6 Haishen to Serrant
That one's entered the upper atmosphere!
66.2 6 Haishen to Serrant
It looks like Serrant is going to be caught! Wait, no... Crabb has dropped it on the boundry and he's helped it over the rope for a six!

And then Serrant comes in and goes BANG! BANG!

The players are off the field for tea.


End of Over 70 (5 runs). World Class Warriors: 183-4, runrate=2.61

Gayle 2 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Martin Run Out 77 (FOW: 181/4)


69.6 2 Wilkes to Gayle
Driven to the boundary and Williams's throw is too weak. A single turns into a comfortable two.
69.5 W Wilkes to Martin
A complete shambles. They've run on a misfield and a direct hit from Shoe sees Martin well short of his ground.

That's ****.

Hitish had one of his off days but Mohammed picked up the slack with 10-5-12-5

Lawson 18-1-66-0
Glody* 102 (106 balls)

Last Wicket: Proctor lbw b. Tann 48 (FOW: 214/3)

Playing my bot squad against a really strong team, luckily for me half of their players are on really bad PFL still doing a little better than I thought, I just need to get the match to last 3 days and maximise on my new 33k mega-drome!

 

[aussie1st]

One over cost 2 of my batters massive scores.
Muller out for 165 and Qayyam out just after his 200.

Last Wicket: Qayyam c. Featherstone b. Payne 201 (FOW: 778/4)

130.5 W Payne to Qayyam
Pitched up and swatted out towards the leg side boundary, a great catch on the ropes denies him the six.

130.3 W Payne to Muller
Big nick and an easy catch for Rudland.

Currently

End of Over 144 (7 runs). Baggy Blues: 850-4, runrate=5.90

Only reason I'm going so long is to see what 1st is doing against 2nd and it's my 2nd 11.

Glody 350* (494)
Spiller 81(373)

Glenwood Falcons

Singh 2/16

I'm a little surprised I got such a hight total, Glody got lots of support while he blasted away. Onto day 3 and maximum money!

Lead by 67 runs. (Chris Gunners 409-5 dec)
Haishen 18-3-42-2
Serrant* 75 (138 balls)
Cash 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Zwanga lbw b. Haishen 7 (FOW: 178/6)

Just lost a wicket. Hopefully I can hang on for atleast another hour or so. Cash is a bowler thats a feeble bat that faced off 66 balls in the first innings.

55.4 W Raziuddin to Serrant
Raziuddin's pitched one right up in the blockhole and it's struck Serrant on the boot! There's a sustained appeal from the bowler and finally the umpire raises his finger! Raziuddin's got his man! OUT!

****!!

Great batting from the tail and we're at tea!

60 run partnership.

Top of the table match today in OD against my second biggest rival in all of Battrick

We can tell you that The Southern Sharks won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a cracker! Hard and fast - should be a run-fest out there on this sunny day.

Conditions are perfect for batting and I elected to bowl first.

End of Over 13: 81-0, runrate=6.23
Barnett 7-0-46-0
Cheema* 23 (36 balls)
Atkins 57 (42 balls)

Things didnt start out brilliant but it was still chasable considering the conditions but then...

13.2 W Harvey to Bexfield
A simply stunning catch by Buchan. Diving low to his right, the ball fizzed through the air and into his grasp.

13.1 W Harvey to Cheema
Someone get Gilbert a drink! He's run a marathon to catch that ball on the leg side boundary. Just look at his face!

Its a great sight when your top bowler creates such an impact

 

[angryangy]

End of Over 30: 106-1, runrate=3.53

God damn it.

 

[aussie1st]

Impressive stuff by my new purchase. Still can't pick who should open with Masi, Fincher better SR so far but bowling attack ain't great.

End of Over 7: 53-0, runrate=7.57, reqrunrate=4.67 (253-9)
Whitehorne 4-0-29-0
Quintus* 19 (21 balls)
Fincher 33 (21 balls)

 

[Griffo]

My Top Order has seemingly failed, I dont think opening with two defensive batsmen was a good plan...

End of Over 13: 62-0, runrate=4.77, reqrunrate=6.35 (296-4)
Ijazuddin 2-0-16-0
Kemp* 36 (44 balls)
Nicholls 25 (34 balls)

Waiting for Ian Wotton to come in, a big innings is needed from both him and Ray Nicholls

 

[aussie1st]

They are protecting Wotton, need better skilled ones for the defensive openers to come off.

I reckon Steady seems to be the best batter, Chav and now Fincher score at better than a run a ball.

End of Over 14: 104-0, runrate=7.43, reqrunrate=4.17 (253-9)
Edwards 2-0-17-0
Quintus* 50 (48 balls)
Fincher 53 (36 balls)
