Bit of early FC rigging by BB All out for 141. Might have to give this guy a bit of a touch up next time we meet

Great win.

Got em all out for 177. Won by 91. Remarkable considering I was all out for 61 in the first innings. Even more remarkable considering we're exactly the same(nearly).

End of Over 74 (Maiden). East London Iruns: 157-5, runrate=2.12 (1st Inn: 230-10)
Trail by 225 runs. (Everton 457-4 dec & 155-2 dec)
Raven 16-3-41-1
Beeks* 0 (0 balls)
Keen 13 (66 balls)

Declared a bit late today, no batting of note left (keen hit about 40 1st innings though) so could still nab a win.

Eeked out the last wicket at 5.27pm. A bit tight.

 

[aussie1st]

Deadset I don't get how a comp bowler can keep causing problems for my batters.

Won the game easily in the end once again snail killing a team. They were all out for 77 in 38 overs. The comp bowler got Masi and Fincher. Chav and Crouch got BB home for 2/78 in 12 overs.

Mcnally 5-0-35-0
Greenwood* 15 (23 balls)
Zakaria 60 (58 balls)
Last Wicket: Croft c. Ingle b. Kulshreshta 71 (FOW: 124/2)

I'm dominating.

 

[Gilly Fan]

My opener hit 3 fours in a row to reach his century before falling next ball trying to hit a six.

End of Over 43: 289-5, runrate=6.72
Kulshreshta 7-0-38-2
Solomon* 8 (11 balls)
Mccormick 8 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Zakaria c. Chavda b. Kulshreshta 111 (FOW: 275/5)

And another wicket.

43.1 W Allan to Solomon
Solomon sends Allan's delivery down Liebenberg's gullet at long on. Out.

And another wicket. He's on a hattrick

43.2 W Allan to Tolley
Tolley shuffles across his stumps to a ball of fullish length from Allan. Trapped plumb in front.

This is really poor batting. If I make anything under 330 it'll be dissapointing.

 

[aussie1st]

I got early wickets but my Indian like tactics didn't work today

After 10 overs

End of Over 10: 42-3, runrate=4.20
Mampe 5-0-31-1
Horrigan* 10 (20 balls)
Robinson 19 (18 balls)
Last Wicket: Howard c. Ray b. Sawyer 4 (FOW: 17/3)

Sawyer was 2-12.
Next 10 saw Semple doing a good job with 1-16.
Overs 20 to 30 proved costly with Mampe and Borrowdale bowling together, Borrows going for 37 in his first 5.

30 to 40 overs started off costly but Semple and Fernades came back well Fernades grabbing a 2 fer.

Currently

End of Over 49: 249-9, runrate=5.08
Sawyer 10-1-42-3
Timothea* 1 (2 balls)
Camp 14 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Archer b. Borrowdale 22 (FOW: 239/9)

Was expecting Sawyer to do alot more cleaning up than he did, instead conceded a lot more runs. Will certainly be a touch total to chase.

Faulkner 4-1-7-0
Wotton* 15 (15 balls)
Buchan 7 (22 balls)

Last Wicket: Nayar b. Fowler 2 (FOW: 4/1)

Im in trouble, Wotton needs 100 and I need Nicholls or Mbeki to come in and score as well

GO AWAY BUCHAN! lol

Ingle* 24 (24 balls)
Branch 29 (30 balls)

Argh, crap. I need early wickets.

 

[aussie1st]

Started off slowly but now lost Masi. Hopefully these two have a big partnership as I don't know how much my other batters will do after these two.

End of Over 9: 27-1, runrate=3.00, reqrunrate=5.56 (254-9)
Balindlela 5-0-17-1

Wotton 50, Buchan is killing me

 

[aussie1st]

Argh lost a wicket to the guy with fresh PFL. I hope Crouch finally does something.

End of Over 18: 77-2, runrate=4.28, reqrunrate=5.56 (254-9)
Dhanjal 4-0-26-1

Nicholls* 2 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Buchan c. Fowler b. Hidayatullah 55 (FOW: 129/2)

Finally Buchan gets out but his innings improved as he went on

 

[aussie1st]

Crouch finally performing against a good team

End of Over 32: 170-2, runrate=5.31, reqrunrate=4.72 (254-9)
