End of Over 48: 257-10, runrate=5.35

Walton 8-0-42-5

With the way they entered the 40th over, i expected 300+.. But am very pleased with the bowling performance.

It's been a magnificent opening partnership,

Shanks 6-0-22-0

Singh* 100 (119 balls)
Bishop 104 (128 balls)

40.5 1 Shanks to Singh
On the front foot and pushed past Shanks, long off races in to field.
And that's a century for Singh! Well played indeed Sir!

40.1 4 Shanks to Bishop
You beauty, he has timed the pants off that delivery.
And that's a century for Bishop! Well played indeed Sir!

Two wonderful centuries... But still the chase isn't over,

42.2 W Shanks to Singh
A dive to the left with hand outstretched sees a superb catch from Uys in the slips.

With just 30 runs to get, the current situation for HT,

Well, my match was over... Victory runs in style,

46.5 4 Shanks to Robinson
Robinson has struck that one brilliantly for four runs.
46.4 4 Shanks to Robinson
Appalling misfield from Moodley. My gran could have stopped that one!

The opening partnership and Walton/Hamed's end over spells turned the match completely.

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 8 wickets.
Arse'nal 257-10
HuntingTigers 260-2

Singh : 109
Bishop : 117

Malik* 22 (14 balls)
Robinson* 8 (2 balls)

I didn't expect this victory.. Am very glad that HT has done it and going to next round of the cup.

[Highlander999]

You guys are lucky. Saffa and England's matches have crashed before they even started

 

[navin-boss]

Lost my match by 10 runs.Scored 300/10.

 

[aussie1st]

Awesome win Suren, he had the better team on paper looking at the report summary but a bit of last overs magic got you home.

I'm versing another bot so I played my 3 back up batters up the top order, and they did very well getting 48,109 and 93. One of my med/med/med batters, Dhillion, is 132 no. I'm currently 3/425

End of Over 79 (10 runs). Blues-XI: 425-3, runrate=5.38
Muir 10-0-69-1
Symonds* 16 (31 balls)
Dhillon 132 (124 balls)

Carvin' em up now;

End of Over 94 (10 runs). Blues-XI: 516-3, runrate=5.49
Piper 19-0-107-0
Symonds* 63 (78 balls)
Dhillon 176 (167 balls)

Good practise for my next OD and FC matches which aren't against bots

 

[mattfb]

We I set my declaration for 800, but I wish I set it for about 840;

End of Over 135 (4 runs, 2b). Blues-XI: 802-3, runrate=5.94
Britton 32-0-202-0
Symonds* 214 (208 balls)
Dhillon 293 (290 balls)

Dhillion got so close to a triple ton!!!

Anyway I am bowling now and they are;

End of Over 23 (7 runs). Mount kembla CC: 48-7, runrate=2.09 (1st Inn: 59-10)
Trail by 695 runs. (Blues-XI 802-3 dec)
Appleyard 4-1-13-2
Whing* 6 (9 balls)
Piper 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Muir b. Appleyard 13 (FOW: 48/7)

So a good day

 

[Left_Hander]

End of Over 44 (6 runs, 2lb). Mental Blank: 272-2, runrate=6.18 (1st Inn: 407-3 dec)
Lead by 412 runs. (oz fans XI 267-10)
Saboor 13-0-60-0
Dunn* 55 (62 balls)
Fontaine 150 (155 balls)

Last Wicket: Lampard c. Dodd b. Stevens 26 (FOW: 123/2)

Fontaine failed in the first innings and scored a 100 in the second. Lampard did the opposite! Dunn's played marvellously well in both innings. It was a brililant job by my bowlers to get them out for 267 when they were about 1/100. Haven't set a second innings declaration target so hopefully I can after play.

Left_Hander added 0 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...

44.3 W Wills to Dunn
Huge shout for LBW... and it's given! Replays are suggesting that was missing leg stump but the decision has gone Wills's way!

Just my luck! He has gotten out. Oh well, time for Dodds to step up again.

 

[navin-boss]

Won by ann innings/42 runs!!!

 

[Highlander999]

Same, won my game today. Some key players now get a good rest for the big clash on Friday against the team placed number 1. Considering I'm three from the bottom I need to have a full XI out playing
