Well, the match is in balance Tom,

End of Over 35: 151-4, runrate=4.31, reqrunrate=7.27 (259-4)
Karthikeyan 8-1-28-1
McCree* 54 (69 balls)
Lester 24 (33 balls)
Last Wicket: Wilbrahim b. Clarke 0 (FOW: 111/4)

Just 100 from 15 overs.. Karthikeyan's wicket column is a worrying factor. He is my main strike bowler but you have done well, Tom!

Com'on boys, this is getting close! :onpc

What a match, Tom.. Irrespective of the results, I am enjoying this match Lets see what happens.. Com'on boys, we can do it!

surendar added 4 Minutes and 11 Seconds later...

49.2 W Clarke to Manders
Clarke drags it short and Manders is caught by surprise. Ugly looking pull shot and the ball balloons up towards mid wicket. Love settles under it and takes a comfortable catch.

49.6 W Clarke to McCree
McCree hit in front... huge shout... umpire's taking his time... and he's given him. A bit of theatre by the umpire, that looked plumb to me.

What a last over by Clarke... Finally, Tom's team is all out... But well played, Tommy!

Especially when you got Singh out for a duck, my confidence level went low. But nevertheless, HT played like a team to win this.

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 5 runs.
HuntingTigers 259-4
Muireston 254-10

Better luck next time, Tom

 

[Highlander999]

LOL, needed a 6 off the last ball and you got McCree. Fantastic match though, great stuff by my lads against such a quality team:

Seriously? I lost the track of fixtures Then I have to keep Gayle in good condition. That time, you will see a different team, Tommy! :cool: but oh wait.. PFL!

EDIT : Sorry, I misread like the first PC cup match is going to be your team vs my team Anyways, good luck

 

[Highlander999]

LOL, I wouldn't be happy if I had you in my league I need to win some games.

Wooohooo beat a div 1 team from NZ

He set me 139, Sawyer taking 2-11 and my two stars in Chav 61, Masi 41 guided me home with 5/140 with 4 overs to spare. Chav remained not out but wasn't as happy with the middle order not contributing as much as I would expect.

Single Highland Malt CC Baggy Blues
Top Order: elite wonderful
Middle Order: remarkable quality
Lower Order: feeble abysmal
Seam Bowling: masterful wonderful
Spin Bowling: exquisite elite
Fielding: respectable feeble
MOTM: Chavhanga

End of Over 50: 209-10, runrate=4.18
Whitbread 9-0-37-3
Fontaine* 89 (126 balls)

On a green pitch, overcast and humid weather. Fontaine batting at three today and carrying the innings. Dunn was the only other batsmen to pass 50 and he was out on 50. Dissapointed I was all out but defending 209 will be interesting.

0.4 W Stanton to Khanyisile
In the air... and out!
0.3 W Stanton to Benedict
Just short of a length, nipping away, Benedict goes for the cut, finds the edge, and safely caught by Dunn.

2 in 2! Dream start for Stanton! Just what I needed, this puts me in the driver's seat! Hopefully my other bowlers back him up.

HT decided to bowl first and was going so well,

End of Over 41: 126-3, runrate=3.07
Walton 6-0-28-0
Naidoo* 45 (96 balls)
Haishen 49 (77 balls)

Last Wicket: Alshaun b. Gayle 0 (FOW: 34/3)

but with wickets in hand, they can be dangerous! Com'on boys! :upray

Whenever I say something, somehow my players get it

41.5 W Hamed to Haishen
In the air... and well taken by Love! Haishen came down the track and tried to smack it over the mid wicket fence. All he's done, however, is pick out the fielder and make Hamed a happy man!

Com'on com'on boys! :upray

End of Over 42: 134-4, runrate=3.19

Colombo Panthers CC won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Flat

End of Over 7: 41-0, runrate=5.86, reqrunrate=2.23 (136-10)
Laheer 4-0-23-0
Abeysingha* 16 (24 balls)
Palliyage 24 (18 balls)

This is my first real game since taking over this team. I am playing 3rd in the table and did very well to bowl them out for 136 on a flat pitch. Palliyage is doing well, i'd like to thank the makers of atstumps for helping me to find the best players in my team.
