Hindmarsh 10-1-44-2

Now only a matter of overs

End of Over 82 (2 runs, 1lb). Aussie Bombers: 238-6, runrate=2.90
Trail by 40 runs. (sainters CC 278-10)
Lewins 12-1-36-1
Mccormick* 108 (153 balls)
Lovell 5 (37 balls)
Last Wicket: Cuss Run Out 7 (FOW: 218/6)

Hoping I can atleast reach their total for I'm all out. I hope that Lovell can stick around with Mccormick. Great knock from the latter.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Lost my 5th wicket with still 50 runs needed. If I lose one of my keeper or my all rounder, I could collapse and lose. It's going to be close.


End of Over 37 (Maiden). Aussie Bombers: 117-5, runrate=3.16 (1st Inn: 275-10)

[aussie1st]

Very annoyed that my opponent took the game into the 3rd day but couldn't do it when it was my home game!
Probably my fault though since I forgot my orders were set for the 2nd inns so my bowlers were in reverse still Woods managed 7 wickets for the match.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Thriller, lost a wicket to go to 8/156 with still 11 runs needed. Mccormick just hit 7 runs off the over though to need only 4 runs to win.

End of Over 50 (6 runs, 1lb). Aussie Bombers: 164-8, runrate=3.28 (1st Inn: 275-10)
Trail by 3 runs. (sainters CC 278-10 & 164-10)
Donald 12-2-39-1
Mccormick* 46 (71 balls)
Mcmahon 0 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Bignot Run Out 3 (FOW: 156/8)

Great match.

Great game. Lost to him last week by 5 wickets, but was able to turn it around thanks to bringing in Mccormick.

And that's the end of the match. Aussie Bombers won by 2 wickets.


End of Over 53 (4 runs). Aussie Bombers: 169-8, runrate=3.19 (1st Inn: 275-10)
Lead by 2 runs. (sainters CC 278-10 & 164-10)
Ludlow 8-1-24-0
Mccormick* 46 (77 balls)
Mcmahon 4 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Bignot Run Out 3 (FOW: 156/8)

 

[aussie1st]

My batters haven't collapsed that's a positive

End of Over 43: 173-3, runrate=4.02
Cefaz 8-1-33-0
Chavhanga* 96 (114 balls)
Perkins 50 (77 balls)
Last Wicket: Sawyer c. Padayachie b. Gibbs 11 (FOW: 44/3)

But whatever I got for hard and fast it looks to be too small.

 

[Gilly Fan]

End of Over 6: 31-0, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=6.23 (304-5)
Sumner 3-0-10-0
Norton* 24 (21 balls)
Zakaria 7 (15 balls)

Playing the top team. One of their batsman with a wage of only 800 somehow made 81.
I'm going alright at the moment. Norton is my key.

 

[aussie1st]

Don't worry even my bowling attack has struggled against those lower wages players.

Surprising enough I didn't need GFI to win.

Sawyer finally dominated Novus taking career best figures against him with 5-20. Woods and Fernades picked up 2 each and Mampe the other wicket taker. Bowled them out for 161 after earlier making 233.

Report summary, not often a bowler gets MOTM over a batter that got 120 runs

Novus Ordo Baggy Blues
Top Order: strong remarkable
Middle Order: proficient strong
Lower Order: woeful worthless
Seam Bowling: exquisite quality
Spin Bowling: remarkable phenomenal
Fielding: mediocre woeful
MOTM: Sawyer

 

[Highlander999]

This is the toughest match of the season. He has a very good bowling attack, I doubt I can chase too big of a score:

End of Over 35: 154-5, runrate=4.40

Mosheua 6-1-16-1

Metcalf* 1 (1 balls)
Nkhangweleni 6 (9 balls)

Last Wicket: Paris b. Mosheua 46 (FOW: 149/5)

 

[Gilly Fan]

Lost my game by 10 runs to the top team. Was far too slow except for Norton and Mccormick. Norton made an amazing 166* from 136 balls. All my other batsman were hell slow even though they're attacking. Norton and Mccormick are cautious and were the fastest of the lot.

I was agonisingly short. Had I been on GFI I would've won.

Taking on the big gun I've done alright to be

End of Over 47: 147-9, runrate=3.13
Kamara 9-0-34-5
Hitish* 1 (6 balls)
Chavhanga 60 (121 balls)
Last Wicket: Sam c. Riley b. Gobern 0 (FOW: 145/9)

Crouch showed some of his potential with 34. Expected him to cruise to the total though.

 

[aussie1st]

Pretty good effort to get 4 wickets against a div 1 side, too bad I rested Fernades as he might have helped Sawyer out more, Hitish is getting smashed.

End of Over 16: 90-4, runrate=5.63, reqrunrate=1.85 (152-10)
Sawyer 3-0-11-1
Cunningham* 1 (1 balls)

Wow got 6 wickets, can I pull of the biggest upset in BT history?

End of Over 22: 120-6, runrate=5.45, reqrunrate=1.18 (152-10)
Mampe 6-0-25-1

Last Wicket: Gobern lbw b. Mampe 2 (FOW: 119/6)

 

[Highlander999]

Apparently not Good effort though Syl. Proves how easy Aus is, though

I am playing big Suren in a friendly on a hard and fast pitch. He is going a bit slow like last time we played

End of Over 24: 105-2, runrate=4.38

Mosheua 2-0-13-0

Bishop* 43 (56 balls)
Alshaun 25 (40 balls)

[surendar]

You have got Singh for duck, Tom.. That has surprised me

Bishop* 100 (107 balls)
Malik 13 (6 balls)
Last Wicket: Alshaun b. Roper 56 (FOW: 184/3)

On a hard & fast pitch, I feel that this total is not going to be sufficient! Com'on boys! :upray

 

[Highlander999]

Surprised how well my bowlers have done on this pitch. The reason I chose this pitch was so my batsmen could have a bit more of a chance

Highlander999 added 20 Minutes and 21 Seconds later...

I'll take that on a hard and fast pitch, as long as my batsmen are sensible
