Hehe now that is some snail effort.

Woods again expensive on uneven, may have to look into that more.
Mampe was awesome though, hes one reason why my opposition was bowled out for 171 after 42 overs. Sawyer did a good job as well, not as economical as usual though.

 

[surendar]

It seems Sawyer is very comfortable at no 4 That was great all round performance Syl .. I dunno why you were not impressed

 

[aussie1st]

Well Chav failing didn't help, Sawyer could have had 3 100s in a row as well
Bowling was a bit iffy until Sawyer got the breakthrough.

Millard* 1 (1 balls)
Nichols 11 (17 balls)

Last Wicket: Mohammed c. Hilton b. Dangasela 2 (FOW: 15/2)

Nice start by my bowlers... Just need to dismiss Nichols. He's a monster player.. Or maybe he can stand his ground at his end, and the wickets keep falling from the other end

Last Wicket: Islam b. Staveley 0 (FOW: 190/9)


38.6 . Staveley to Naidoo
Slightly squared up by a fuller length but safely defended.
38.5 . Staveley to Naidoo
Bit of lift, beats the bat and Hilton collects the ball.
38.4 W Staveley to Islam
Islam moves to leg to make room. Too much room however, and Staveley hits the top of his off stump.
38.3 W Staveley to Farooq
The keeper couldn't reach that one, but first slip certainly did.
38.2 W Staveley to Nichols
Got him! Hit on the toe, plumb in front and Nichols may be nursing a broken toe along with his shattered pride.
38.1 . Staveley to Nichols
Pitched up, Nichols mistimes the drive to the mid off region, no run taken.

Was expecting a collapse and BT didn't let me down

Now just have to bowl them out and it will be victory for me :happy:happy

 

[aussie1st]

Lucky for me my bowling orders didn't cost me, I didn't want it on default but I guess due to me selling Borrowdale they switched to that.

Chav finally produced some runs, Sawyer again in good form with his 4th straight 50 but Crouch hmmmm. Bowling was alright, Sawyer 2 wickets and his usual economy Woods and Mampe getting the rest. BB winning in a tight match.

If Dawber can get out then you have a chance, Avroneel.

Welcome to Greenbank CG for the match between Shore Athletic and HuntingTigers.

We can tell you that Shore Athletic won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a little uneven. Should be tough for the batsmen on this sunny day.

Lets join our team for ball-by-ball commentary.

Good luck, Suren.

1.6 W Coutts to Robinson
A bullet-like throw from Hendrie to Hodge, who flicks off the bails in a flash, has left Robinson millimetres from safety. Robinson out!

End of Over 2: 5-1, runrate=2.50
Coutts 1-0-3-0
Bishop* 4 (9 balls)
Malik 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Robinson Run Out 1 (FOW: 5/1)

Sensational start. Malik will hopefully not make more than ten, although I can see Bishop going all the way to the 50th over.
