Tom.

16.1 6 Hassell to Prue
Prue hits that straight back over the bowlers head. It's a high, high six, caught in the members stand by a balding man wearing a rather natty blazer.

Mohato has got orders to get this guy out now. He's annoying me to no end. He's on 30* whilst the team is on 36 runs altogether. I doubt I'll even get him out. My worst two bowlers are owning him though.

If I win this it'll be down to the screwy BT engine

Taking it easy against this bot team I'm against, but they are proving to be annoying!

End of Over 27: 82-3, runrate=3.04
Challinor 7-0-12-1
Hodges* 2 (6 balls)
Hutter 35 (68 balls)
Last Wicket: Balindlela b. Challinor 19 (FOW: 78/3)

Murdoch 3-0-6-0
Raisani* 8 (10 balls)

Not as quick as I wanted but oh well. Hopefully we can do it within ten overs.

 

[Highlander999]

Having a bit of a rear guard action, but I really doubt I can do this:

End of Over 28: 99-6, runrate=3.54, reqrunrate=2.77 (159-10)

Tate 4-0-12-1

Roper* 2 (14 balls)
Wilbrahim 25 (47 balls)

Last Wicket: Mosheua c. Castle b. Tate 12 (FOW: 89/6)

 

[Jaztheman]

Wilbrahim to score 76* and lead your team to victory. It's gonna happen, Tom, believe.

 

[Highlander999]

LOL this is cruel, why begin to give me hope Battrick? At least we now know a reverse line-up is probably more effective :

End of Over 31: 115-6, runrate=3.71, reqrunrate=2.37 (159-10)

Metcalf 9-1-26-2

Wilbrahim* 30 (54 balls)

W Butt to Hutter
Great fielding by Lawrence at extra cover. He swooped, picked up the ball and hit the stumps, though he only had one to aim at.

My worthless fielder does the job



Still, should be cruising against a bot team, even if we are TIE.

End of Over 34: 116-4, runrate=3.41
Butt 7-0-29-0
Best* 1 (1 balls)
Hodges 23 (28 balls)
Last Wicket: Hutter Run Out 45 (FOW: 111/4)

 

[Highlander999]

Knew I shouldn't have hoped. I am really paying now for them putting on 20 runs with the final wicket If it wasn't for that I would only need 139 :crying

End of Over 33: 125-8, runrate=3.79, reqrunrate=2.06 (159-10)

Metcalf 10-1-32-3

Tenius* 1 (1 balls)
Wilbrahim 34 (60 balls)

Last Wicket: Pretorius lbw b. Metcalf 4 (FOW: 124/8)

37.6 . Butt to Best
A lovely ball from Butt, which spat sharply, giving Best no chance to make contact. To celebrate the dot ball, the whole of row 15 in the West Stand put on their cut-out Butt masks.

:happy:happy

My explanation of the game of battrick consists only of expletives at the moment.....

From this

End of Over 27: 109-7, runrate=4.04, reqrunrate=6.09 (248-3)
Kelly 7-1-22-4
Winters* 9 (8 balls)
Corniel 60 (70 balls)
Last Wicket: Montgomery lbw b. Kelly 8 (FOW: 94/7)

To this

End of Over 49: 248-7, runrate=5.06, reqrunrate=1.00 (248-3)
Ghandi 10-0-63-1
Winters* 73 (74 balls)
Corniel 133 (137 balls)
Last Wicket: Montgomery lbw b. Kelly 8 (FOW: 94/7)

Game was lost first ball of the next over. Now what really gets on my tits is Winters, monster bowler, he's played 30 games and until now had scored 24 runs at @ 12.00 with a top score of 19*.

If this isn't just a load of crap, I don't know what is......

lol unlucky max, good fight from them though

End of Over 9: 48-0, runrate=5.33, reqrunrate=2.83 (163-10)
Mitchell 5-0-27-0
Butt* 28 (33 balls)
Yeates 19 (22 balls)

Am strolling this =]

 

[Jaztheman]

Nice match there, Max. Bit unlucky though, I guess. Innes recorded an easy win there.

I won by 10 wickets chasing 53 in 9.5 overs. I said I wanted to chase it withing 10 overs, but thats a bit closer than I would of wanted...

 

[innes]

Well done Jaz, atleast no loss of wicket =]
Kinda annoyed at my slow pace, but I'm trying to figure out how much of an impact taking it easy really has.

Anyone else getting shown a different position in the FC league than they really are?
On my pavilion page, it says:

First Class League: #4 in X.354

Yet I'm sitting in 2nd :happy

 

[Jaztheman]

Mine says sixth even though I'm sitting in second too. Strange.
