[Jaztheman]

Just noticed the team I'm playing are better than I thought they were and I'm resting like my joint best bowler...

 

[Jaztheman]

159/2 to 173/6 so a mini collapse but they have picked themselves up and are scoring at a good rate once again.

End of Over 37: 194-6, runrate=5.24
Burger 9-1-51-3
Hluphizwe* 80 (88 balls)
Paterson 9 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Keates c. Job b. Burger 2 (FOW: 173/6)

Jaztheman added 26 Minutes and 53 Seconds later...

End of Over 43: 213-10, runrate=4.95
Sotho 6-0-27-3
Sandile* 0 (7 balls)

Good for us considering they looked certain for 300 at one stage...

 

[Jaztheman]

And that's the end of the match. Shore Athletic won by 6 wickets.
BHA FC 213-10
Shore Athletic 215-4

Simple victory in the end. Definitely not going to mess up like that again. Must pay attention to the team i'm playing next time and do my research better. Ah well, a wins a win.

In a new era for the BB in FC my bowlers have rolled the opposition for 40. Chambers did the damage early with 3 wickets while Sam cleaned up with 4 wickets.

32.3 1 Cook to Barton
A great bit of cricket there.
32.2 W Cook to Way
A great bit of cricket there.

A great bit of commentary there

End of Over 70 (3 runs). The Southern Sharks: 277-5, runrate=3.96
Sampson 15-1-68-0
Wotton* 167 (199 balls)
Mbeki 14 (19 balls)

Last Wicket: Warnock c. Worsnop b. Anwar 14 (FOW: 238/5)

Declare 360 and bowl for the win

 

[aussie1st]

Run rate should speed up now

End of Over 44 (Maiden). Baggy Blues: 86-3, runrate=1.95
Lead by 46 runs. (The Bulldogs 40-10)
Bomani 10-2-24-0
Chavhanga* 0 (2 balls)
Quintus 37 (139 balls)
Last Wicket: Ray c. Lea b. Cantrell 27 (FOW: 86/3)

 

[aussie1st]

What a crazy day both teams bowled out in 1 day!

Quintus took ages to score his 56, Chav scored his 59 at nearly a run a ball and Masi just smashed them with 60 off 46 balls. Good effort considering I was bowled out for 234. Could have used some more bonus points but the win will do.

Commentary is buggy today, take a look at this.

1.2 . Raettig to Dolan
Incredible catch at deep backward square! A short ball from Raettig and Dolan never got over it, but Fish had to make good ground and scooped the ball off the turf with a full-length sprawling dive. Very nicely done indeed.

Maxkarter added 4 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

6.5 4 Bird to Dolan
Oh dear, what a disappointing way for Dolan to end his innings. The ball sat up and begged to be hit but he has paid the price for poor shot selection.

What?

5.5 lb4 Raettig to Dolan
Oh! Raettig has fired the arm ball in at yorker length, and Dolan just jams the bat down in time. It squirts off the inside edge past the stumps and down towards the fine leg boundary. The batsmen hurry through for three.

Pity he isn't a spinner tho...

 

[Highlander999]

It's nice to be in FC and not being humped around the ground. My bowlers have got him pinned down:

End of Over 27 (2 runs). HEAD McSweed: 55-3, runrate=2.04

Vadiveloo 5-1-9-0

Roscoe* 4 (29 balls)
Viduka 24 (64 balls)

Last Wicket: Muldowney c. Tenius b. Roper 10 (FOW: 43/3)

 

[Highlander999]

LOL!!! My equivalent to Wotton (without the keeping ) just got me a wicket He is only a Comp/Feeb

39.5 W Tailor to Danby: Off stump has just been broken in half. Oh dear that wasn't a ball that Danby could afford to miss!

Things are looking good for me, so far. He has gone out with his 2XI. Probs didn't want to waste his good players against me, as I had him on paper:

End of Over 41 (4 runs). HEAD McSweed: 88-5, runrate=2.15

Mosheua 3-0-9-0

Viduka* 42 (95 balls)
Redding 5 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Danby b. Tailor 5 (FOW: 83/5)

 

[Jaztheman]

3.6 W Nkoe to Fabian
That's got him, brilliant slower delivery there from Nkoe that got Fabian in all sorts of bother. You have to pick your times to bowl those, and Nkoe certainly did that. Great variation of pace.

End of Over 4 (Maiden). Cheeky Whees CC: 3-1, runrate=0.75
Nkoe 2-1-1-1
Hird* 1 (9 balls)
Champness 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Fabian b. Nkoe 1 (FOW: 3/1)

Brilliant start by my main bowlers. Hopefully they can be at the least three down before both of my bowlers have had their spells. First FC game of the season is going well.

Jaztheman added 1 Minutes and 24 Seconds later...

4.2 W Sotho to Hird
Hird is unlucky not to get four runs after some amazing fielding from Job.

His best bat is at 5 I think so until then it should be plain sailing. 7/2.

 

[Maxkarter]

End of Over 51 (5 runs). swingaway: 191-6, runrate=3.75
Bird 10-0-37-0
Ridgewell* 35 (34 balls)
Berry 7 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Arnold lbw b. Samuel 5 (FOW: 152/6)

Going well now after they had a pretty solid start, just Raettig's captaincy is getting on my tits..... So far Samuel has only been used in 4 over spells, he's been the pick of the bowlers so far, I know I didn't want him going longer than 8 overs a shot, but 4!?! Added to that he's using Fish too much, last time he didn't do too bad as a part time bowler atm he's just getting launched. Hopefully Samuel gets on soon to polish the innings off, then its just upto the batsmen to get to 360 asap!

 

[Jaztheman]

I keep getting some blanks instead of commentary for dot balls. Strange.

End of Over 8 (Maiden). Cheeky Whees CC: 9-3, runrate=1.13
Nkoe 4-2-2-1
Hessenthaler* 0 (9 balls)
Champness 2 (10 balls)
Last Wicket: Eyre c. Hodge b. Sotho 0 (FOW: 7/3)

Hessenthaler is their best bat I think, so my job is to get him out now.

 

[surendar]

A very good evenly poised game at the moment for HT,

End of Over 4 (4 runs). HuntingTigers: 14-1, runrate=3.50
Trail by 311 runs. (HDCC 325-10)
Hitish 2-0-8-0

Robinson* 1 (2 balls)
Bishop 9 (13 balls)

Last Wicket: Paki c & b. Mohammed 4 (FOW: 8/1)

I guess, Robinson playing his last FC game for Hunting Tigers since I have put him up in Transfer Market.
