Nicholls* 15 (9 balls)
Wotton 79 (90 balls)

Last Wicket: Nayar c. Littlefair b. Kewell 109 (FOW: 207/2)

Should have this one... my top order is perfectly layed out, Nayar top scored and has his first ever od century in a great innings... 2nd week in a row that Wotton has taken the backseat lol

maybe Harris and Nayar will dominate the next game

9 from the first 3 balls of the 44th over. Then 1 from the final 3.

Only 6 to win now, easy win in the end. I'm lucky because I played 2 spinners on a cracked pitch and accidently opened with one. :o

And it's a 6 to end the game.

46.1 6 Moncur to Poulter
Shot! Poulter isn't wasting time here. The short, rising, straight ball is hooked superbly and sent sailing over the backward square leg boundary. Steggles is helpless down at long leg.

And that's the end of the match. Aussie Bombers won by 5 wickets.
Strathmore Heights CC 258-8
Aussie Bombers 259-5

I scored 311 in 50 overs today :happy:happy But unfortunately they chased it in 47.4 overs easily

 

[aussie1st]

After an economical start by my openers, Semple comes in and just misses his hattrick.

10.4 W Semple to Collins
Oh, well bowled! Pitched just outside off stump, straightened down the line and took the outside edge. Masibulele gleefully hurls the ball into the air as Collins begins the long walk back.
10.5 W Semple to Schoeman
Edged and pouched by first slip at waist height. That was about as easy as they come.

End of Over 11: 17-3, runrate=1.55
Semple 1-1-0-2
Ngidi* 7 (36 balls)
Cloete 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Schoeman c. Chavhanga b. Semple 0 (FOW: 17/3)

Chambers onto bowl making his debut for BB.

Liddle 6 (12 balls)

Last Wicket: Al c. Wotton b. Lisbie 3 (FOW: 10/3)

Decent work... Harvey will finish the job on his 2nd rate side with a spinning pitch in his favour

___

And that's the end of the match. The Southern Sharks won by 10 wickets.
NotMU 36-10
The Southern Sharks 39-0

And I Win Shame that every bowler had to bowl... Their PFL will go down but batsmen will be fine, it took them just 5 overs to finish the job

 

[Highlander999]

I think I might have done a ste. I've played too much of a weak side. I thought opening with a prof/woe and a resp/comp would easily be enough. Plus my batting line-up worries me and I only have really bad bowlers to come :

End of Over 14: 75-1, runrate=5.36
Rifler 2-0-14-0
Facey* 23 (40 balls)
Deyi 47 (42 balls)

I should chase it down, but it still wasn't needed:

Mosheua 9-0-65-4
Chiume* 3 (5 balls)

Both openers are my 17 y/o trainee's both making their debut's. And both of them have started well

Brilliant stuff, both of them made centuries Easy win in the end, although bowlers were a let down:

Good start, Lisbie didnt bowl first day to help get back his PFL.. Hopefully ill get to 360 quick and declare setting up a possible early victory

 

[Highlander999]

A nice milestone for me. First time I have bowled a team out in FC this season Hopefully the openers can surive till the end of the day and I can work towards getting 360-400 tomorrow. Will have to see how good his bowling attack is though

End of Over 103 (3 runs). Amateur XI: 398-10, runrate=3.86

I need some new batsmen :

3.3 W Crookes to Bolder
Great delivery from Crookes, Bolder has a dash at it and finds the edge. Dropped at first slip! No! Yes! No! Havill looked to have spilled the catch, but his quick reflexes allowed him to recover and he gobbled up the crumbs after some fumbles. Out!

3.1 W Crookes to Hawkins
That's atrocious batting! He's moved so far towards the off side you can see middle stump and Crookes hits it!

2.6 W Prest to Belgrave
Outswinger finds the edge of Belgrave's bat, and into the gloves of Tedstone it goes. Beautiful bowling!

I trust Africa to perform, but don't trust Filan at all, and with the out of form Conelly coming in next, I think I am in trouble

End of Over 6 (Maiden). Muireston: 15-3, runrate=2.50
Trail by 383 runs. (Amateur XI 398-10)

Crookes 3-2-5-2

Africa* 2 (6 balls)
Filan 0 (9 balls)

Last Wicket: Bolder c. Havill b. Crookes 0 (FOW: 13/3)

Need early wickets and lots of them, run chase should be easy enough but having enough time will be a challenge
