Nice bowling there, Tom. Are they a batting team, though?

Suren, you can win it easily as your players should be going for it considering the wickets in hand. You're in control, I feel.

No.. They have turned tooooo lazy this season :::

End of Over 46: 216-3, runrate=4.70, reqrunrate=10.50 (257-2)
Badenhorst 8-0-39-0
Heads* 10 (10 balls)
Bishop 103 (147 balls)
Last Wicket: Robinson b. Heath 0 (FOW: 186/3)

With 4 overs, they are playing a test match : I have given it up!

 

[Jaztheman]

Ah, all hope is not lost, Suren... although you will probably lose. Some boundaries and you could get the required run rate.

End of Over 2: 1-4, runrate=0.50
Mohato 1-1-0-3
Prue* 0 (2 balls)
Marius 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Ansell c. Hodge b. Mohato 0 (FOW: 1/4)

I love bots.

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzy... You know what,


The match has ended in a magnificent TIE from nowhere :happy:happy:happy I am happy ... Atleast, I can cope up with the opponent.

And that's the end of the match. It has ended in a tie!!
Elite Express 257-2
HuntingTigers 257-3

Bishop* 119 (158 balls)
Heads* 34 (23 balls)

At end of 49 overs, 13 runs needed from last 6 balls.
Then 3 runs needed from last 2 balls.
But both were singles! :cool:

My captain Heads did his job perfectly and brought this equation from nowhere,

47.3 	[B]4[/B]	Badenhorst to Heads
 	 	Magnificent drive from Heads. A very high backlift, lining up this full delivery almost as though playing golf, and he drives him crisply and beautifully for four down the ground.
47.2 	[B]4[/B]	Badenhorst to Heads
 	 	Wide delivery, picked up over cover for the boundary.
47.1 	[B]4	[/B]Badenhorst to Heads
 	 	Take that! Good length delivery outside the off stump. Heads pushes forward and creams it through the gap between cover and mid off. The timing and placement was spot on.

One of the fantastic matches I have ever had... Well done, Tigers This saves my members confidence still... with Draw in FC from nowhere and TIE in OD from nowhere

Haha, that's quality, Suren. Congratulations.

7.4 W Mohato to Marius
Marius has not picked that one from Mohato. He tries to get forward but it's bat-pad and into the grateful hands of silly point.

Finally got the next wicket. Hopefully bowl them out for under 30 and then chase that in 5 overs of less. Should be a good win.

End of Over 8: 12-5, runrate=1.50
Mohato 4-2-3-4
Prue* 9 (26 balls)
Mellor 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Marius c. Job b. Mohato 1 (FOW: 12/5)

LOL nice Suren. I think I am going to lose my match He has an entirely new bowling attack since I last played him:

End of Over 7: 23-2, runrate=3.29, reqrunrate=3.19 (159-10)

Brookfield 4-1-12-1

McCree* 1 (5 balls)
Africa 5 (8 balls)

Last Wicket: Tailor c. Nkhangweleni b. Brookfield 11 (FOW: 22/2)

Hey, welcome to the forum mate. You should post in the http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/general-chat/introductions-21709.html first.

Do you play battrick?

Mohato for king.

 

[Highlander999]

It's all relying on the Scotsman of the team. My 18 y/o trainee. He has done this sort of situation before, can he do it again? All he needs is a partner to hang around with him... :upray

End of Over 13: 56-3, runrate=4.31, reqrunrate=2.81 (159-10)

[Jaztheman]

I'm rooting for you, Tom. I think you're gonna struggle though as I think your middle order will start to crumble. Prove me wrong.

15.3 W Mohato to Crawford
Big appeal by Mohato but there was an inside edge onto the pad. What? No - the umpire has given him out! Surely not? Crawford is looking at his bat and doesn't want to go and you cannot blame him.

Get in there. 30/8 now with Mohato on 6 wickets. Prue opened their innings and is still in, hopefully he'll go.

 

[Highlander999]

Cock it. No chance now

14.3 W Metcalf to McCree
Someone call the paramedics, that's gone straight down the throat of Bowler!
