Playing Tom and I'm batting.

End of Over 15: 90-0, runrate=6.00
Goodhead 1-0-8-0
Zakaria* 47 (46 balls)
Norton 38 (44 balls)

Going along quite easily at the moment. My future U19 Aussie player is doing nicely on 38.

13.3 3 Islam to Wylie
A touch short and Wylie leaps on to that, sweeping it really hard and out of the middle of the bat. What a shot, but unfortunately it's only three.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

15.3 2 Islam to Mcdonald
Worked easily towards deep mid wicket. They comfortably complete two before Ryan's throw reaches Berry.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Good opening partnership here with both openers scoring well and realtively fast.

End of Over 16: 115-0, runrate=7.19, reqrunrate=1.56 (167-10)
Islam 8-0-67-0
Wylie* 60 (48 balls)
Mcdonald 52 (48 balls)

Leonard 2-0-9-0
Fincher* 16 (38 balls)
Masibulele 29 (41 balls)

Steady chase by Syl's team here, just like Proteas were today

Don't know if my switching Mampe and Borrowdale was a big hit.

End of Over 18: 72-1, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=4.31 (209-3)
Street 9-0-38-0
Masibulele* 39 (50 balls)
Chavhanga 9 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Fincher c & b. Leonard 21 (FOW: 54/1)

Knowing my lineup won't be surprised if I lose it from here.

End of Over 20: 79-2, runrate=3.95, reqrunrate=4.37 (209-3)
Street 10-1-38-1

End of Over 25: 145-2, runrate=5.80
Goodhead 6-0-23-1
Norton* 57 (66 balls)
Greenwood 1 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Croft Run Out 2 (FOW: 142/2)

Lost a couple of quick wickets, but Greenwood is one of my best batsmen. Hopefully Norton can go on to a maiden century.

Going to loose my first match in PCBL. I will loose against a team whom I have defeated before

24.6 6 Danby to Wylie
Well, what a shot! We will get the ball back to Danby, just as soon as it comes down...

Nice way to win a match, eh?

And that's the end of the match. Shore Athletic won by 10 wickets.
Mumbai SRS XI 167-10
Shore Athletic 173-0


End of Over 25: 173-0, runrate=6.92
Danby 3-0-21-0
Mcdonald* 75 (75 balls)
93 (77 balls)

Fantastic opening partnership on an uneven pitch. Bowlers did well as well although Nkoe was surprisingly rubbish. This was Lekgwathi's last match unfortunately, he got sold around 2 hours before the end of the match for £2.2mil. He got 1-18 off 7.2 overs which is fantastic, he even got the last wicket! An incredible legend has gone now, and with him gone, I have no players from my original squad.

19.6 W Street to Masibulele
That's not only a blow to the body, it's a blow to the scorecard as well. He's fallen onto his stumps.

End of Over 23: 89-2, runrate=3.87, reqrunrate=4.48 (209-3)
Mccoist 2-0-7-0
Sawyer* 1 (11 balls)
Chavhanga 19 (25 balls)
Last Wicket: Masibulele Hit Wicket b. Street 44 (FOW: 79/2)

Really need Sawyer to stay there for a while, after that I don't have much confidence.

If any of my players get Chav, they will have 82 days of contract with the team for sure

Going like snails That RRR could be a problem and Crouch probably will throw his wicket away.
