And the new BT20 is under way. I've started with a bang

End of Over 9: 35-10, runrate=3.89
Hitish 0-0-0-1
Sandford* 0 (3 balls)

Mampe 5-5 in 3 overs!

End of Over 1: 7-0, runrate=7.00, reqrunrate=1.53 (35-10)
Marsden 1-0-7-0
Crouch* 2 (4 balls)
Masibulele 5 (2 balls)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Most of these players are from the Myall/Lisbie era.

End of Over 18: 133-4, runrate=7.39
Bennett 4-0-24-1
Saich* 37 (34 balls)
Noon 18 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Cohen c. Mcclory b. Husbands 26 (FOW: 113/4)

Other bloke's resting his players as well. Should be a good game.

 

[Highlander999]

When I expected to be bowled out for 25, I'll take this:

End of Over 10: 72-3, runrate=7.20

Cox 2-0-21-0

Coutts* 21 (24 balls)
Wilbrahim 9 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: McCree c. Cox b. Islam 5 (FOW: 59/3)

6.5 W Piyadigama to Vuyani
Brilliant work from Hilton. Sharp turn from Piyadigama left Vuyani floundering and Hilton had the bails off before he knew where he was.
6.4 W Piyadigama to Barrowdale
Bowled him! Barrowdale tries to smash it through midwicket, but plays all around it and the ball crashes into middle stump.
6.3 W Piyadigama to Greaves
Hilton appeals for everything there - Greaves was caught behind, but the attempted stumping was unnecessary.

Hattrick for him today. He's so far the best rated spinner of my team

 

[Highlander999]

Wow this is an awesome BT collapse, even by my standards:

13.6 W Beevers to Coutts
Flicks a full pitched delivery straight to Cox at short midwicket. Lazy shot and a good catch!

14.2 W Islam to Wilbrahim
The slower delivery has done for Wilbrahim, as he lobs the ball back into Islam's hands for the simplest of catches. Wilbrahim shakes his head as he trudges back to the pavilion.

14.4 W Islam to Mosheua
Oooooh, a spectacular diving catch by Fark at second slip. His hands are softer than a baby's bottom.

15.1 W Cox to Lester
Lester drives rather uppishly and Islam takes an absolute screamer diving high to his left.

15.5 W Cox to Manders
Short ball, it's there to be hit. Huge swing from Manders as he's out of his crease, but misses. That's an easy stumping for Rose.

End of Over 16: 108-8, runrate=6.75
Cox 3-0-30-2
Roper* 9 (3 balls)
Tenius 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Manders st. Rose b. Cox 0 (FOW: 108/8)

97/3 to 108/8 :

Got absolutely thrashed, but was up against an England player who opened the batting, Willetts, who's battrick rating is over a million and his wage just 20k off a million too, so not too downhearted!

My batsmen can be proud of this performance, I thought we would be skittled out cheaply. It was Mansell who did the damage:

THIS IS WHAT GET'S TO ME ABOUT BATTRICK!!!!!!!!!!!! Needing 3 off the last ball for a draw and a 4 for victory, I get this retarded commentary line:

19.6 1 Chatterton to Africa
Nudged around to Flowers but a misfield allows the batsmen to pick up a quick single.

What a piss take, I get no luck in this game. I am properly pissed off :

And that's the end of the match. Stump Cam won by 2 runs.
Stump Cam 215-0
Muireston 213-1
