Won my first Twenty20 today by 10 wickets. Chose to bowl first against a bot with one or two players rested and we made short work of them. They scored 40 off 10 overs with Coutts getting 7 wickets for 6 runs; the highlight of the bowling. It was then our turn to bat and we chased down the 41 in quick style, only needing 3.2 overs to reach it. Raisani opening for the first time got 12* off 6 balls whilst Wylie got 28* off 14. Great start.

Tiop orders really suffered at the the hands of thsoe 2 giants Alshaun and Ahmed no matter wgat are their PFL but atm my mid and lower mid orders have decided how to carry on against this giant

Last Wicket: Bridge b. Alshaun 0 (FOW: 248/8)


40.6 W Alshaun to Bridge
Played on! Bridge was picturing the ball running away to the long on boundary as he played that stroke, but it has taken the inside edge and so it is him heading in that direction instead.
40.5 W Alshaun to Ijaz
That's gone for four byes. Wait, what's going on here? Oh my, apparently the ball just kissed the top of leg stump and knocked the bail off and only the keeper knew what was really happening! Great bowling.
40.4 W Alshaun to Mcgoldrick
Short ball on the stumps, a fairly innocuous delivery. Mcgoldrick goes after it, the ball clips the top edge and flies down toward backward square leg. Ahmed runs across to his right, times his dive to perfection and comes up with a stunning acrobatic catch.
40.3 W Alshaun to Henry
Hit high into the air, Ahmed fumbled but caught the ball at the second attempt.
40.2 1 Alshaun to Mccoist
Leans back and cuts it behind point.
40.1 1 Alshaun to Henry
Played down to Burgess at fine leg. Easy single.

What an over :

Getting owned by Tom on a really flat deck, i set my orders drunk lol and all i care about is getting rid of this hangover...

Last time I checked it was a green pitch But I had guessed you might have screwed your orders up

Got him but its clear its one of those flat green decks as the weather overhead is doing nothing

 

[Highlander999]

Looks like I also cocked up my orders. Dhillon opened the bowling instead of Pretorius. Still doesn't make too much of an impact as I am ripping through your batsmen

Good batting..Great Start for bowling too..

0.1   [b][color=red]W[/b][/color]   Nogwahya to Hulse 
    Hulse comes forward to a shorter ball just outside off stump, straightens off the seam and finds the probing outside edge, straight through to Kinsella.

But after 2 overs , too bad

2.2   [b][color=red]W[/b][/color]   Nogwahya to Fernando 
    OUT, poor judgement this time, shocking in fact and Nogwahya strikes! He swung that one in at him, and for some inexplicable reason Fernando shoulders arms. Plumb.

Bradshaw's final match in Mental Blank colours :crying

This should be over pretty quickly. I thought I would restrict them to a few less runs but with this start I shouldn't really complain.
