^^ lets not forget the fact that placements and timings which Indian batters played today was indeed a perfect ones.. Boundaries were huge. I am damn sure, even if its a big ground India would have touched 350 with ease. I know WC, if Aussies have done the same which Indians did today, you will come up and moan that " we will show you who is number 1 " something like that. :


Anyways, my cup game is going alright,

End of Over 12: 23-3, runrate=1.92
Walton 1-0-6-0
Proctor* 5 (6 balls)
Livesey 14 (41 balls)
Last Wicket: Mahin lbw b. Love 0 (FOW: 14/3)

Are we not showing you in South Africa

The BB economical machine rolls on. Bowled out my opponent for 73 this time, Sawyer matching Woods effort without the 4 wickets. Sam making a good return to the top side with 2-34 and Chambers also continuing the economical trend with 1-5 off 5. And once again Chav hasn't batted!

That has no context to the post what I said.. I am comparing it with your view how you would have changed if Aussies have taken that 392 in place of India Vs NZ on the same ground... It has nothing to do with Aus or SA or India... It has everything to do with the way you keep posting in different biased ways for the same context! :cool:

And my bowlers are really having a great day till now,

Hougaard 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Lovell b. Poulter 3 (FOW: 222/7)

Playing danzan22. Getting hammered. Had a partnership of 95, but they were batting far too slowly (Solomon 65 from 86 balls).

Not quite strong enough to beat him just yet.

 

[Left_Hander]

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

I think I have figured that out by now . The team coming first (Mini Storm) is probably the only team that I know that they will beat me. Some teams have had better reporter's summaries but my GFI'ing has probably got me over the line. Oh and that seam bowling rating is mainly because of Stanton

 

[aussie1st]

Hehe all I can say is you are one lucky bugger!
How many members are you getting per a week?

Lancaster 10-0-56-0
Pilkington* 65 (58 balls)
Cahill 25 (33 balls)
Last Wicket: Wylie c. Lancaster b. Holroyd 26 (FOW: 39/1)

Going well in this match, forgot to do more orders though and have put out a good team. Wanted to put my reserves out. Messed this up.

 

[innes]

Not doing too badly seeing as im playing a div 3 guy, who has rested a couple of his stars, but still has out 9-10 players who have better BTR and wages that none of my team can touch.
I'm also batting on an uneven pitch :help

End of Over 19: 61-3, runrate=3.21
Robert 5-0-22-0
Wilson* 25 (38 balls)
Dunfield 24 (46 balls)
Last Wicket: Hignett lbw b. Gobern 9 (FOW: 12/3)

 

[aussie1st]

A near full strength BB side. Had trouble with the openers but once I got one of them out Fernades did the damage.

End of Over 55 (Maiden). Melbourne Storm: 135-10, runrate=2.45
Fernandes 15-5-25-5
Edmunds* 82 (153 balls)

At one stage I was 5/2 but Chav came to the rescue

End of Over 15 (11 runs). Baggy Blues: 66-2, runrate=4.40
Trail by 69 runs. (Melbourne Storm 135-10)
Lewis 1-0-11-0
Chavhanga* 43 (32 balls)
Ray 16 (46 balls)
Last Wicket: Stubbs c. Ludlow b. Short 1 (FOW: 5/2)

 

[surendar]

My FC match is going in a balanced way at the moment,

End of Over 51 (Maiden, 1b). mumbai_devils: 157-4, runrate=3.08
Trail by 285 runs. (HuntingTigers 442-1 dec)
Hamed 10-1-34-1
Willingham* 58 (92 balls)
de Caires 44 (65 balls)
Last Wicket: Ansaf c. Clarke b. Karthikeyan 1 (FOW: 69/4)

This partnership is really frustrating. I wanted to enforce follow on.. but this pair has spoiled it all... : : : I declared on 442/1 but now i feel i should have gone till 600...

 

[aussie1st]

Geez you batters totally dominated him there Suren. Hopefully you can get a collapse like I will show.

My opponent went from

End of Over 51 (Maiden). Melbourne Storm: 192-4, runrate=3.76 (1st Inn: 135-10)
Trail by 79 runs. (Baggy Blues 406-4 dec)
Fernandes 9-2-27-0
Ngubane* 85 (121 balls)
Tate 11 (50 balls)
Last Wicket: Partridge c. Sawyer b. Mampe 9 (FOW: 146/4)

To

51.5 W Woods to Lewis
That's lofted to long off and caught easily by Fincher. Woods bounds around the place like a three-year-old chasing a butterfly in the park, Fincher plays it cool.
51.4 W Woods to Tate
Well, that's a tenner I've just lost! I had money on Tate surviving the innings not out. Credit to Woods, though. Not a bad little yorker.

52.6 W Fernandes to Warren
Hit high into the air, Sawyer fumbled but caught the ball at the second attempt.
52.5 W Fernandes to Hodgkiss
Fernandes runs in shaking his head and sticking his tongue out. This completely bamboozles Hodgkiss who offers no shot and is clean bowled. Hodgkiss walks off glaring at Fernandes.
52.4 W Fernandes to Katleho
Katleho tries to make room, but can't dig out that fabulous yorker from Fernandes! Bowled 'im!

53.3 W Woods to Short
Plumb in front! Inswinging yorker from Woods sends Short on his way.

End of Over 54 (1 runs). Melbourne Storm: 203-10, runrate=3.76 (1st Inn: 135-10)
Trail by 68 runs. (Baggy Blues 406-4 dec)
Woods 18-3-70-4
Ngubane* 92 (127 balls)

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by an innings and 68 runs.

This guy was top, the 2nd place team is also struggling so the 3rd place BB are looking good to go back to the top

 

[surendar]

Excellent collapse created by your bowlers, Syl Did you set Woods to attacking?

I would love to know.. Hamed is an attacking bowler.. But i have set as defensive for today.... Is that a mistake which i did?

 

[aussie1st]

Nah Woods has been on normal. Fernades was the same. Sam I put on attacking and well the results speak for themselves!
I forgot to mention and only just saw Chav was 222 not out when I declared And Perkins helped his average by going 57 not out.

And the report summary

Melbourne Storm Baggy Blues
Top Order: strong competent
Middle Order: proficient remarkable
Lower Order: worthless worthless
Seam Bowling: respectable superb
Spin Bowling: quality phenomenal
Fielding: mediocre feeble
