Hmm. Not playing a PC match, but challenged a big team (got 16.5K ) My bowlers were pretty poor, but my batsmen have started well. Not expecting to win though:

End of Over 15: 83-1, runrate=5.53, reqrunrate=8.51 (380-4)

Bennet 3-0-18-0

Tailor* 38 (52 balls)
Africa 39 (35 balls)

Last Wicket: Belgrave c. Charlton b. Norris 2 (FOW: 9/1)

Welcome back Wiki
Solid start by my opening bowlers but Fernades released the pressure. Still with my collapsing batting it won't be over to the final ball.

End of Over 20: 75-2, runrate=3.75
Sawyer 5-1-12-0
Otoole* 41 (75 balls)
Staley 23 (32 balls)
Last Wicket: Hall c. Masibulele b. Mampe 0 (FOW: 8/2)

Don't worry Syl.. Collapse won't occur like how it happened against RE

Well in my match, a right partnership to the chase has been built ....

Stylish way to bring the 100 too,

29.3 4 Donaldson to Bishop
Bishop scythes a four to deep midwicket courtesy of some wobbly fielding from Hedley, who mistimes his slide and fumbles the ball over the boundary.
And that's a century for Bishop! Well played indeed Sir!

Closing the victory margin quickly,

That is a crushing!

Still not use to the idea of Sawyer as my economical bowler rather than wicket taker.

Sawyer 9-1-22-1
Marsh* 6 (17 balls)
Ferguson 6 (5 balls)

I can sense some BT collapse now for your opponent, Syl.. RR is slow and there might be a collapse in last 10 overs!

And my match is over. HT won by 10 wickets :happy

35.1 6 Mears to Bishop
Full toss on leg stump, Bishop's eyes light up as he pulls the ball into the stands. Great shot.

What a way to finish off the match with a SIX!!!

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 10 wickets.
TaxXI 205-4
HuntingTigers 210-0

Singh* 92 (111 balls)
Bishop* 116 (100 balls)

Well done, The Openers! Tough luck, TaxXI.Better luck next time.

McDermott is turning into a superstar for you Griffo 2nd 5fer in a row.

Almost got done by the BT collapse, a true captains knock from Sawyer but geez that Quintus sucks.

 

[Griffo]

Yeh hes coming along well but im more happy with Wright actually taking wickets in a game
