GFI, everyone in the top 5 of my league GFI's. Otherwise I'd lose hehe. Even so, that's a heavily mixed batting line-up, I can pull better ratings.

 

[aussie1st]

Take note England and Australia this is how you use the last 10 overs.

End of Over 40: 138-3, runrate=3.45
Dimo 10-0-43-0
Chavhanga* 80 (121 balls)
Perkins 9 (16 balls)
Last Wicket: Sawyer c. Benjamin b. Gulliver 6 (FOW: 118/3)

End of Over 50: 222-3, runrate=4.44
Britton 10-0-62-1
Chavhanga* 124 (155 balls)
Perkins 49 (42 balls)
Last Wicket: Sawyer c. Benjamin b. Gulliver 6 (FOW: 118/3)

Tuhob looking good here, I will need to bowl him out to take this. Harshana has been awesome.

End of Over 17: 109-3, runrate=6.41, reqrunrate=3.45 (222-3)
Fernandes 4-0-19-1
Harshana* 79 (55 balls)
French 1 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Benjamin c. Crouch b. Sawyer 8 (FOW: 106/3)

aussie1st added 9 Minutes and 17 Seconds later...

Now this is what you call an epic over. Could be match winning.

End of Over 19: 114-6, runrate=6.00, reqrunrate=3.52 (222-3)
Fernandes 5-0-20-4
Harshana* 83 (61 balls)
Britton 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Gulliver b. Fernandes 0 (FOW: 114/6)
18.6 W Fernandes to Gulliver
Beaten. That was a peach of a delivery pitching on leg and cutting out to threaten off stump. Gulliver's only managed a tickle of an inside edge but he's not laughing. Off you go Gulliver.
18.5 . Fernandes to Gulliver
Oh, yes. Fernandes squared him up like a Rubik's Cube.
18.4 . Fernandes to Gulliver
Fernandes digs in a shorter ball outside off stump but Gulliver sways safely back inside the line to leave it alone to Masibulele.
18.4 wd Fernandes to Gulliver
Fernandes shakes his head in frustration. Wide given.
18.3 W Fernandes to Wren
Charges down the wicket only to be deceived by the slower off cutter which pegs back middle and leg stump. Bowled 'im.
18.2 . Fernandes to Wren
Wren turns his back and gets hit by a quick ball just under the rib cage. That will need an icepack tonight.
18.1 W Fernandes to French
There's the breakthrough. It was a full length delivery that grazed the edge and carried to Masibulele.

 

[Hooper]

Nice late order hitting before, Syl.

End of Over 8: 63-0, runrate=7.88
Haldane	4-0-25-0
Mcnally*	24 (20 balls)
Ahmedullah	36 (28 balls)

Need to keep the run rate down ffs, they've gotten off to a flyer. :doh

 

[aussie1st]

Sounds like their batting skills are far above your bowlers, not much you can do in that situation.

If I can get Harshana I should have the game. Right now still in the balance. Mampe needs to stand up after his pathetic opening spell and I could use Chambers matching his feat from Friday.

End of Over 24: 124-6, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=3.81 (222-3)
Mampe 7-1-41-1
Britton* 5 (17 balls)
Harshana 86 (74 balls)
Last Wicket: Gulliver b. Fernandes 0 (FOW: 114/6)

 

[aussie1st]

If you can't get the star batter take out his partners. That is what my bowlers did, Fernades cleaning up with the last wicket and a well deserved 5 fer.

Tassie Titans Baggy Blues
Top Order: sensational quality
Middle Order: strong superb
Lower Order: woeful worthless
Seam Bowling: remarkable wonderful
Spin Bowling: strong phenomenal
Fielding: feeble woeful
MOTM: Fernandes

My batting still could use some work.

 

[mattfb]

Funknath got 6/262 with 1 guy getting 117 and another 61. No one else made over 25.

I'm currently 2/133 after 28 overs so a bit behind the required runrate. My 2 openers are out for 48 and 50.

End of Over 28: 133-2, runrate=4.75, reqrunrate=5.91 (262-6)
Poulter 4-0-14-0
Sodhi* 3 (5 balls)
Bowker 23 (38 balls)
Last Wicket: Cowling c. Hydes b. Wildsmith 48 (FOW: 129/2)

 

[mattfb]

Lost by 10 runs

 

[Gilly Fan]

Playing Vintners atm.

End of Over 20: 103-3, runrate=5.15
Whelan 5-0-37-0
Mccormick* 20 (31 balls)
Norton 57 (54 balls)
Last Wicket: Greenwood c. Fieldhouse b. Dharmapala 0 (FOW: 55/3)

These two need to keep going. I want over 260, but I can't see them getting it. He has a 27k and 19k wage bowlers.

 

[Gilly Fan]

End of Over 49: 263-10, runrate=5.37
Lumley 10-0-69-4
Cuss* 26 (17 balls)

The ol' battrick collapse hit me hard. I lost my last 5 wickets for 9 runs. Norton top scoring with 89. Mccormick my gun all rounder made 83.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

End of Over 41: 213-2, runrate=5.20, reqrunrate=4.44 (252-7)
Street 6-0-29-0
Earle* 87 (87 balls)
Gilroy 14 (15 balls)

Last Wicket: Muldowney st. Pardew b. Leonard 80 (FOW: 174/2)

Not a chance of win but we have not made their journey as smooth all have predicted I made a big blunder when i saw i appointed Pardew as keeper instead of Wotton

 

[surendar]

Have to see if this score against Effine is competitive,

End of Over 50: 271-9, runrate=5.42
Muller 10-0-52-4
Penn* 1 (1 balls)
Karthikeyan 4 (6 balls)
Last Wicket: Love c. Spiller b. Groves 6 (FOW: 266/9)

Well done boys, anyways. Hopefully some resistance comes in bowling :upray Well done Singh for a brilliant century and well supported by Bishop too.

 

[surendar]

Well, after 14 overs,

End of Over 14: 54-4, runrate=3.86, reqrunrate=6.06 (271-9)
Love 7-0-30-2
Imithiyaz* 9 (18 balls)
Worthington 37 (43 balls)
Last Wicket: Nieuwenhuis b. Karthikeyan 2 (FOW: 24/4)

This partnership is very crucial and hope my bowlers can break it before it turns worse. :upray Lets see.. Com'on boys!

Naidoo 4-0-19-1
Spiller* 10 (9 balls)
Worthington 47 (61 balls)
Last Wicket: Imithiyaz b. Naidoo 35 (FOW: 92/5)

Semi reverse lineup doing a bit of help... best two batsmen in right now.. still got 2 batsmen yet to come... could go either way... fingers crossed i get to play the blues...

 

[surendar]

End of Over 23: 112-6, runrate=4.87, reqrunrate=5.93 (271-9)

The game is in the interesting stage. It's preventing me from going to sleep. Very bad Effine, I have office tomorrow. :
