You have a good chance Sean, the conditions are in your favour with a great batting pitch but the weather overhead worries me..

GAME OVER!

And that's the end of the match. The Southern Sharks won by 9 wickets.
Bald Eagles 123-10
The Southern Sharks 126-1

Nayar 75*
Wotton 45*

Match highlight had to be Mbeki taking 5-2 which are his new best friendly figures, will certainly bring down the average also

 

[Gilly Fan]

Lost a wicket last over, but I'm still in it.

I just have to hope that these 2 can put on a partnership and I don't collapse.

 

[aussie1st]

[Highlander999]

LOL, Syl.

I must say it was worth playing one of the best teams and almost certainly being knocked out:

16/11/2008: Played a match and received £200,955 in gate receipts

Highlander999 added 56 Minutes and 19 Seconds later...

I've had worse starts

Last Wicket: Beech c. Ludlow b. Attwood 5 (FOW: 6/2)

A good start

 

[aussie1st]

Semple bowling well in his first and last FC match for the BB. Playing my best 11 against the top team as I'm starting to feel the pressure of keeping 2nd spot.

End of Over 7 (2 runs, 1lb). Brisbane Stags: 25-0, runrate=3.57
Semple 4-0-5-0
Wilkinson* 15 (26 balls)

End of Over 15 (Maiden, 2b). The Southern Sharks: 58-2, runrate=3.87
Lead by 7 runs. (Lamont Warriors 51-10)
Middleton 2-1-6-0
Wotton* 16 (14 balls)
Fontaine 5 (23 balls)

Last Wicket: White c. Patterson b. Coleman 7 (FOW: 36/2)

Fontaine back in the action with the Sharkies once again, need to bat for a long time rest of today and all of tomorrow, Mbeki and Attwood at 7 & 8 make for a long time ahead for them

 

[aussie1st]

If only I could bowl this team out for 51.

End of Over 55 (2 runs). Brisbane Stags: 203-2, runrate=3.69
Semple 19-4-45-1
Obrien* 75 (164 balls)
Wilkinson 111 (135 balls)
Last Wicket: Quailey lbw b. Semple 5 (FOW: 45/2)

Oh well looks like another draw for the Stags and I get 3 days income so happiness all round.

End of Over 24 (12 runs). The Southern Sharks: 119-5, runrate=4.96

Middleton 19 (16 balls)

Last Wicket: Nicholls c. Marshall b. Holmes 5 (FOW: 82/5)

can anybody say COLLAPSE! i wont get three days pay i bet... and syl im not putting on the batsmen to bowl cause i still wanna win and keep my form going.. i might consider it if i get a decent lead

 

[aussie1st]

Lol the only reason I lost from doing that was because I underestimated my opponent. But you bowled him out for 51 so you should be able to roll him again on the 3rd day after bowling your batters.

Semple gets his 2nd wicket but the beast (Wilkinson) is still there.

End of Over 72 (5 runs). Brisbane Stags: 251-3, runrate=3.49

Middleton 10-1-38-2
Mbeki* 70 (65 balls)
Harvey 0 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Elsegood lbw b. Malik 2 (FOW: 227/8)

Captain Mbeki has added some valuable runs to the board but I think ill just get it done it two days and not risk it, really wanted max points as well..

 

[aussie1st]

After losing my openers early Chav and Masi rebuilt the ship, Masi falling on 51. Chav continued to 120 before also falling. Left BB in need of a partnership which has come in the form of Crouch and Fincher.

End of Over 83 (5 runs). Baggy Blues: 341-4, runrate=4.11
Trail by 44 runs. (Brisbane Stags 385-10)
Mcnamee 15-0-78-0
Crouch* 58 (82 balls)
Fincher 78 (114 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga b. Muller 120 (FOW: 202/4)

Going to take a miracle to win it form here though.

 

[Griffo]

I won in two days... GODDAMIT!
