Beginning to get a bit worried considering this guy got his team a couple of days ago but then Stanford came to the rescue:

End of Over 49 (Maiden). Swellendam Flycatchers: 99-5, runrate=2.02
Stanford	8-4-10-3
Niewoudt*	12 (57 balls)
Mckagen	0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Marshall b. Stanford 0 (FOW: 99/5)
48.6 	W	Stanford to Marshall
 	 	He's waving his bat as if he's a magician trying to stop the bails from looping up in the air. Well bowled by Stanford.
48.5 	.	Stanford to Marshall
 	 	Marshall turns it off his legs, but a great dive by Beattir stops the run.
48.4 	.	Stanford to Marshall
 	 	Fullish ball, angling in on off stump, pushes forward, firmly defending straight back to Stanford.
48.3 	.	Stanford to Marshall
 	 	Defended out to Bancroft who shines the ball and returns it to Stanford.
48.2 	.	Stanford to Marshall
 	 	Defended off the back foot and Challinor sprints in from mid on ensuring that the single isn't taken.
48.1 	W	Stanford to Heerden
 	 	Out! Driven to silly mid-off. Good thinking from Stanford to put that man in there. He'd spotted a weakness in Heerden's armoury and he exploited it.

End of Over 19 (Maiden). The Southern Sharks: 25-4, runrate=1.32 (1st Inn: 154-10)
Lead by 26 runs. (the one hit wonders 153-10)
Osborn 10-6-13-2
Nicholls* 14 (37 balls)
Binnion 1 (17 balls)

Last Wicket: Gilbert st. Herbert b. Osborn 4 (FOW: 21/4)

Id like to think im sucessfully throwing the game, he is headed for demolition in Div 4 for sure

 

[aussie1st]

Lol looks like you both are trying to throw it.

End of Over 134 (2 runs). Baggy Blues: 660-4, runrate=4.93
Lead by 555 runs. (muscley muppets 105-10)
Stamp 28-3-118-2

Last Wicket: Muller lbw b. Alfred 60 (FOW: 602/4)

Once again Bradman Sayce got 200.

 

[Highlander999]

I am begging today's match to reach the third day. I really need the cash. They are 95-5 and still trail by over 100 runs.

 

[aussie1st]

Wasn't really trying to win but my batters got themselves bowled out after lunch leaving me to cruise to victory.

 

[Highlander999]

Got it to the third day :happy All that mattered, but nice easy win as well

Wooohooo
Come back home and I've won the toss, bowled and bowled them out
Took someone advise and put Barrowdale on defensive produced 2-27 in 9.5 overs.
Clayden the bowler I was thinking about selling again comes up trump with
3-21 off 10 overs.
Sawyer 1-20 off 10 overs, Mapple below average with 2-52

In reply

End of Over 19: 85-1, runrate=4.47, reqrunrate=2.61 (165-10)
Williams 10-0-42-0
Chavhanga* 20 (21 balls)
Masibulele 36 (54 balls)
Last Wicket: Fincher c. Barry b. Vuyani 19 (FOW: 37/1)

Even though Fincher only got 19 he saw out 6 overs from the King of my league Williams.

Slat's Sick XI 53 (18.2)
Moodley 4/19 (7.0)

Fighting Mongooses 0/55 (10.0)
Dodge 40 n.o.

Another effective GFI.

 

[aussie1st]

Don't think I set Barrowdale on the right orders today.

End of Over 9: 47-0, runrate=5.22
Borrowdale 5-0-34-0
Oli* 21 (27 balls)
Atherton-ham 22 (28 balls)

 

[Griffo]

Playing Raiders Eleven and bowling first on a Hard and Fast pitch

End of Over 11: 48-0, runrate=4.36
Thelwell 6-0-21-0
Kemp* 19 (41 balls)
Mccafferty 29 (25 balls)

Not too bad for the conditions, I didnt fix my orders according to the weather but so im a little bit annoyed. I went in 1 pace bowler short

 

[aussie1st]

Ah finally Sawyer doing some damage

11.5 W Sawyer to Oli
Masibulele is up, Sawyer is up and the slips are too, and there goes the umpire's finger ... Oli is gone.

13.1 W Sawyer to Hiller
Hiller tried to slog a straight one and failed to connect, out!

End of Over 14: 71-2, runrate=5.07
Sawyer 2-0-7-2
Atherton-ham* 28 (39 balls)
Coppinger 1 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Hiller b. Sawyer 7 (FOW: 67/2)

 

[Griffo]

End of Over 16: 79-2, runrate=4.94
Barnett 3-0-24-2
Kemp* 40 (59 balls)
Karthikeyan 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Bignot c. Wotton b. Barnett 9 (FOW: 79/2)

Got the big wicket of Bignot, Wotton is on fire with the gloves. This is looking good

 

[aussie1st]

All that time on the TM and WC still hasn't got enough good players

Clayden is on fire 5 maidens in 6 overs.

End of Over 25: 104-2, runrate=4.16
Clayden 6-5-1-0
Atherton-ham* 46 (71 balls)
Coppinger 15 (36 balls)
Last Wicket: Hiller b. Sawyer 7 (FOW: 67/2)

My problem is Mohammed who keeps getting whacked for 4.

 

[Griffo]

End of Over 7: 27-4, runrate=3.86, reqrunrate=5.51 (263-5)
Street 4-0-9-0
Gilbert* 1 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Nicholls c. Flower b. Treddle 12 (FOW: 25/4)

Treddle is enjying the clouds!!! My batting line up is destroyed!!!!

 

[aussie1st]

Geez what on earth happened to your batting lineup?

That's my boy Fincher

15.2 4 Khotso to Fincher
A deft touch sees four runs to the batsman, an exquisite late cut.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

End of Over 16: 98-0, runrate=6.13, reqrunrate=3.50 (216-8)
Khotso 3-0-19-0
Fincher* 51 (55 balls)
