Bowling first against a noob team with my 2XI bowlers:

End of Over 20: 75-7, runrate=3.75

I expected to cross 300 but ,

End of Over 50: 291-4, runrate=5.82
Singh 10-0-55-1
Walton* 10 (11 balls)
Alshaun 41 (38 balls)
Last Wicket: Gayle b. Eldershaw 2 (FOW: 270/4)

And Karthikeyan provided a great start with his early 3 wickets, & Gayle with his early 2 wickets in his first spell itself,

End of Over 17: 77-5, runrate=4.53, reqrunrate=6.52 (291-4)
Gayle 2-0-6-2
Karthikeyan 7-1-33-3
Xolani* 9 (13 balls)
Chanderpaul 0 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Fuwad st. Bishop b. Gayle 1 (FOW: 75/5)

I got rid of Draper who was around 85K BTR but, still that Xolani who is around 75K BTR is still playing!

So, still I am keeping fingers crossed.. Comm'on boys, lets do it! :onpc :upray

Pretty good win by the boys. Sawyer stood up taking 4 wickets and Woods chipped in with 3. In reply Sawyer scored 41 facing 117 balls, Chav the star with 104 helping me to a good victory with 8 wickets and 7 overs left.

Last Wicket: Quintus c. Rankin b. Mahoney 54 (FOW: 114/3)

52.6 2 Branson to Chavhanga
Fullish and sliced past backward point. Dove rushes across to make a very good diving, tumbling, sliding stop. Two runs saved.
52.5 4 Branson to Chavhanga
Full ball outside off stump which is driven away on the up for four.
52.4 4 Branson to Chavhanga
Chavhanga rocks onto the back foot and gloriously drives Branson through extra cover for a boundary.
52.3 6 Branson to Chavhanga
I hope the club has insured the ground's windows; that's a huge six!
52.2 4 Branson to Chavhanga
Chavhanga beautifully punches Branson back past the stumps for four, and holds the pose in case any photographers missed it.
52.1 4 Branson to Chavhanga
Chavhanga rides his luck, flashing at one outside off stump and getting a thick outside edge which sails between second slip and gully for four.
