Well, my match ended. HT won by 38 runs convincingly in the end.

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 38 runs.
HuntingTigers 298-4
Blanco Blitzers 260-7

Some good damage to the opponent in last few overs.

48.3 	[B]W[/B]	Hamed to Barlow
 	 	That's out! Barlow plays against the spin and can't control the s


47.5 	[B]W[/B]	Walton to Marsh
 	 	Walton to Marsh, OUT! Walton strikes! On the leg stump, Marsh flicks it in the air to square leg, Alshaun dives in front and takes a good catch. Soft dismissal.

47.2 	[B]W[/B]	Walton to Ferguson
 	 	Bowled! The long walk back to the pavilion begins now. Ferguson was well beaten there!


46.2 	[B]W[/B]	Hamed to Dyke
 	 	Great bowling and a good catch behind by Bishop. It was a poor shot though by Dyke, and he will be disappointed

Hamed was brilliant ending with 10-0-53-4. Well done the entire team for this team victory.

This is against the top team in First-Class who is undefeated for the season and I'm coming fifth.

Joe Jan took 5/46 in the first innings & Ian Serrant made 96.

There was a tense period as in spite of the collapse, Langer formed a brutal partnership with Speed. That is, until Cable made the breakthrough, bowling Langer around his legs for 83 and halting the partnership at 80. The spinner Birch was defiant in defence, but he was trapped in front by Moodley, sparking a collapse in which Moodley ripped through the tail in 7 deliveries.

Rhino's 180 (38.4)
Langer 83
Speed 48 n.o.
Moodley 5/32 (9.4)
Wharrad 3/47 (9.0)
Cable 2/48 (10.0)

Actually, that will be 2nd spot, because the current 2nd has played a bot and is still ahead on points.

Congrats Angy, at least I'm not the only one that had trouble with Barton

Tip: That last wicket took 10 overs to fall. Save your TIEs for games that you can't win. Use GFI, set all batsmen and bowlers to maximum aggression and set your orders to bowl at least one of your openers through. Although GFI drains players at a higher rate, the removal of the team fitness function means it only drains players proportionally to the effort they make, rather than just nuking your team for two weeks. Getting off the field as quickly as possible (and even protecting as many as 3 bowlers from any fitness drains) is more important. One of the main features of this strategy is that you can easily protect your stronger bowlers by using weaker ones to achieve the same effect, whereas on a TIE, your players perform worse. Basically, you are putting the workload on 4 or 5 players instead of the whole side and hopefully those players aren't necessarily the good ones.

Consider using GFI in any situation where you believe you can severely cut the length of your game; you'll not only save fitness, but gain NRR.
