13.1 [b][color=red]W Ocarroll to Azim 
    The bowler held that one back a touch and Azim's drive only succeeded in giving Ocarroll a return catch. Well held! [/b][/color]

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WILBRAHIM IS GOD. Sawyer and Wotton are nothing. He got 24 runs off the final over

And that's the end of the match. Muireston won by 7 wickets.
Baseball is rubbish 183-1

Tretton 4-0-56-0
McCree* 30 (17 balls)
Wilbrahim 59 (43 balls)


19.6 6 Tretton to Wilbrahim
Wow! What a shot from Wilbrahim! Everyone knew that was going to be six as soon as it left the bat, but the cameraman was so focused on following the ball, he didn't realise it was coming straight down his camera lens. Cracking stuff!

19.5 4 Tretton to Wilbrahim
Elegantly flicked off his toes by Wilbrahim - no need to run for that!
And that's his fifty! Well played.

19.4 4 Tretton to Wilbrahim
Banged in short on leg stump, Wilbrahim was into his pull shot in a flash, smacking the ball in front of square and it bisects two men to race to the boundary. Super shot!

19.3 2 Tretton to Wilbrahim
That should only have been one run, but lazy fielding by Stannage allowed the batsmen to steal a second.

19.2 4 Tretton to Wilbrahim
Picked up the length early and crashed the ball away for four through the leg side field.

19.1 4 Tretton to Wilbrahim
What a stroke that is. A lazy, elegant, flicked on drive for four. Top class.

 

[aussie1st]

I am truly a God
After defeating a div 4 team the day before I have now beaten a div 2 team from India
Bowling first

End of Over 17: 92-10, runrate=5.41
Woods 2-1-9-2
Dickson* 0 (2 balls)

Chambers was the surprise star with 3-11 in 4 overs.

In reply it was really shakey after a quickfire 23 from Sawyer I got to this point

End of Over 14: 84-8, runrate=6.00, reqrunrate=1.50 (92-10)
Dickson 4-1-17-2
Perkins* 33 (33 balls)
Chambers 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Woods lbw b. Dickson 0 (FOW: 84/8)

But my new batting God Perkins smacked a 6 off the first ball and from there guided me home.

[Highlander999]

You just had to out do me

 

[aussie1st]

Mampe back on song after his not so great BT20 performance. Looks like my opponent is going 2nd string so hopefully can finish him off quickly to save PFL.

End of Over 10: 11-4, runrate=1.10
Mampe 5-2-6-4
Scott-reed* 0 (19 balls)
Van blerk 0 (8 balls)
Last Wicket: Montgomery c. Masibulele b. Mampe 4 (FOW: 11/4)

 

[aussie1st]

Another team cleaned up by this BB machine. Bowled them all out for 39 with Mampe taking the amazing figures of 6-12. So once again Chav hasn't been able to bat and most of my batters haven't done anything this season.

Hinshelwood 1-0-3-0
Nicholls* 51 (65 balls)
Meyer 1 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Gore c. Parlane b. Drury 18 (FOW: 112/4)

ROLFMAO!!! His bowlers get him a rating of strong and prof on the reporters summary and he's taking me to the cleaners, oh well....

 

[Highlander999]

LOL Justin, perhaps I can beat you

My two stars from yesterday are doing it for me

End of Over 38: 194-2, runrate=5.11

Robinson 9-0-45-1

Wilbrahim* 35 (53 balls)
Coutts 121 (141 balls)

Last Wicket: Africa c & b. Robinson 5 (FOW: 95/2)

 

[innes]

Should win this, but not taking anything for granted

End of Over 15: 84-0, runrate=5.60, reqrunrate=3.60 (209-4)
Blackburn 1-0-7-0
Lawrence* 27 (40 balls)
Hignett 53 (50 balls)

Yep, won it fairly easily in the end, losing just one wicket, and getting my best summary yet

Boscorp Cross XI - 7/261
Mental Blank - 8/265

I lost the toss and the home team elected to bat. Hadland took two quick wickets but then Boscorp recovered. Stanton was economical taking 2/39. My supporting bowlers of Angel, Davidson and Pearse bowled well and all kept it tight except Pearse, who was slightly expensive going for 0/65 off his 10. Hadland finished off with figures of 5/69 and took his 3rd 5th wicket haul in three OD League games this season. A tally of 16 OD wickets for the season. Boscorp Cross XI set Mental Blank 262 for victory.

We fell to be 5/99 and I logged on when Dunn and Pearse were in a good partnership. All-rounder Pearse proved his worth at 7, making 59. This brought Davidson to the crease and he fell for 1. Last season's U19 Australian representative fast bowler (that sounds good ) made a valubale 10 and was his highest OD score. With 12 to win off the last over and Kyle Tait, cousin of Australian bowler Shaun Tait () also a 40k bowler, wicket-keeper Nelson Dunn stepped up and smashed a four off the first and second ball. Not one to muck around and with bowler Hadland at the opposite end, he picked up the next ball and smashed it over the rope for six and to complete a unexpected nail-biting victory.

Reporter's Summary

MOTM: Hadland

That is now my third win in Division Four in three games. Who said this was hard? Next week I host Compy Allstars who are a evenly balanced team.

I didn't realised how much I typed. You can tell I'm passionate about BT

 

[aussie1st]

Looking at your group you probably are in the easiest div 4 group in Aus But nice report summary especially the seam bowling.

 

[aussie1st]

A great spell of bowling by Woods given I rested 2 of my best bowlers. He has taken 4 wickets for 6 runs. Hopefully Sawyer can get some wickets.

End of Over 16: 54-5, runrate=3.38
Sawyer 3-0-6-0
Dubey* 7 (21 balls)
Elliott 24 (34 balls)
Last Wicket: Fieldhouse c & b. Woods 2 (FOW: 27/5)

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

End of Over 11: 95-0, runrate=8.64
Gayle 6-0-40-0
Henry* 59 (37 balls)
Flower 36 (29 balls)

Looks like we are also playing in some short ground like in Kiwiland
