32.5 W Ali to Stiles
An inside edge to a straight delivery helps the ball find leg stump; such a disappointing way to get out!

41.3 W Lekgwathi to Ryan
The batsmen have collided mid-pitch! Plenty of time for the bowler to whip off the bails as a disappointed Ryan departs.


End of Over 42: 158-7, runrate=3.76
Lekgwathi 6-0-16-0
Danby* 22 (42 balls)
Karthikeyan 0 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Ryan Run Out 35 (FOW: 158/7)

If I don't bowl them out for under 200 then they have a chance. I need to try and bowl them all out for around 175/180.

Henry 40 (32 balls)

Last Wicket: Dawber b. Sawyer 53 (FOW: 123/3)



Suddenly my players realise, its one day match that lasts for 50 overs, only not a bloody 3 days FC game ;)
 
  • Now my target with the batsman is to cross 150 margin
  • To prevent the loss > 100 runs margin(even by 99 runs is OK ;) )

Lets see...

Both my targets were achieved. :) Griffo's team won by 90 runs but I am happy with the things gone today for us,

Code:
HuntingTigers won the toss and elected to field.
Reporter's Summary
	The Southern Sharks 	HuntingTigers
Top Order: 	superb 	           mediocre
Middle Order: 	competent 	proficient
Lower Order: 	worthless 	abysmal
Seam Bowling: 	proficient 	feeble
Spin Bowling: 	strong 	          mediocre
Fielding: 	feeble 	             feeble
MOTM: Harris

With feeble/mediocre bowling attack I expected 370-380 from Griffo's team and with their proficient/strong bowling attack, I expected something around 100-120 while batting.

Not bad, I am surprised that my team players do have some team-spirit to play.. :cool:
 
End of Over 6: 44-0, runrate=7.33, reqrunrate=2.82 (167-10)
Islam 3-0-27-0
Mcdonald* 20 (17 balls)
Wylie 23 (19 balls)

Good start from my batsmen. This is McDonalds first batting innings in a One Day game for me, despite playing 10 One Dayers this season. :p

Jaztheman added 15 Minutes and 5 Seconds later...

End of Over 10: 71-0, runrate=7.10, reqrunrate=2.43 (167-10)
Islam 5-0-42-0
Wylie* 32 (31 balls)
Mcdonald 38 (29 balls)

Still going very smooth, hopefully both batsmen will make their 50's. A 10 wicket win would be very surprising, but I'd take it for definite.
