Finally got his God out via my God

40.1 W Sawyer to Wilkinson
Thin edge which is nicely taken by Masibulele.

Unless I spark a collapse this is heading for the draw which suits me just fine since 2nd place lost today.

Interesting, I sell my snail and suddenly I have my quickest win of the season.

Batting first Chav and Masi monstered off 100s to guide my team to 2/336. Then Sawyer grabbed his first 6 fer for the season and Mampe a 4 fer to wrap them up for 22 in 8.3 overs.

Oh and this proves to Griffo, why I spread my good batsmen out

Highlander999 added 16 Minutes and 23 Seconds later...

Still going strong. He has 4 spinners on a green pitch!

19.2 4 Porter to Africa
Tweaked away past gully and I think that one will go all the way. Yes it has.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

I know where my weak links are, these will need to be addressed ASAP.. with one already half way to being fixed

 

[aussie1st]

Geez wasn't expecting Fernades to get smashed. I'm in huge trouble now.

[Highlander999]

I'm really not sure who to support here...

I suppose Griffo, because he had to chase such a big score, but then I want Wotton dismissed on 99
