Nice going Jake, gotta love noob bashing

Dodgy call but I expected the early exit.

1.3 W Cole to Moodley
Controversy. Moodley played forward, then proceeded down the track to do some gardening, thinking the ball dead. Talia ambled in from silly mid on and casually threw the stumps down. An appeal half in jest, and it's been given. Sheepish grin from Talia.

End of Over 2: 5-1, runrate=2.50, reqrunrate=3.60 (177-10)
Cole 1-0-3-0
Masibulele* 3 (4 balls)
Chavhanga 1 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Moodley Run Out 1 (FOW: 3/1)

End of Over 50: 329-3, runrate=6.58
Bertus 10-0-75-0
Mukhopadhyay* 73 (65 balls)
Tembo 64 (36 balls)
Last Wicket: Mulvaney lbw b. Tšoeu 113 (FOW: 223/3)

Nice bash at the end from newly acquired Tembo took me over the 300 by a bit.

 

[aussie1st]

The choke could be coming.

4.3 W Groves to Masibulele
Great bowling and a good catch behind by York. It was a poor shot though by Masibulele, and he will be disappointed.

End of Over 6: 21-2, runrate=3.50, reqrunrate=3.57 (177-10)
Cole 3-0-10-0
Crouch* 5 (4 balls)
Chavhanga 8 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Masibulele c. York b. Groves 7 (FOW: 13/2)

 

[aussie1st]

And the choke is complete.

26.2 W Muller to Shet
Muller gave that some extra flight and Shet totally mistimes the ball back to the bowler.

End of Over 27: 94-7, runrate=3.48, reqrunrate=3.65 (177-10)
Muller 4-0-9-2
Crouch* 46 (61 balls)
Woods 0 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Mampe c & b. Muller 0 (FOW: 94/7)

Pathetic display by my batters apart from Crouch.

 

[Jakester1288]

Won by 245, rolled them for 84 after 17.4, my star spinner Fillery taking 4/13. Bignot (3-22), Vernon (2-23) and Champness (1-23) had the the other wickets.

Just wonder struck that Penguins grabbed the title. Well done, Penguin man. And see who won the MOTM award!

Anyways, in my match Vs WC, I am getting smashed as always!

End of Over 24: 105-1, runrate=4.38
Gayle 5-0-19-0
Flower* 50 (72 balls)
Bignot 48 (67 balls)
Last Wicket: Henry b. Love 5 (FOW: 11/1)

I have no hopes on the match, anyways happy to get around 10K.:banana2

 

[aussie1st]

Got some soul searching to do ahead of my first match in Div 4. Once again I have the better bowling rating but got completely out bowled. Congrats on the win Penguins.

Baggy Blues St. Johns Penguins CC
Top Order: quality remarkable
Middle Order: superb strong
Lower Order: worthless worthless
Seam Bowling: wonderful superb
Spin Bowling: phenomenal wonderful
Fielding: feeble woeful

 

[Jakester1288]

It looks to me like you need a really good top order batsman, or if you have one, but you are pulling quality ratings, perhaps another. I don't know much, but I suppose that's what you need to compete.

 

[mattfb]

Made 5/233 but then they got it 1 wicket down >.<

 

[FreddieFan]

Lost the toss in the final, put in. Slow start:

End of Over 2: 1-0, runrate=0.50
Ghandi 1-0-1-0
Muldowney* 1 (4 balls)
Hardy 0 (8 balls)

 

[FreddieFan]

End of Over 9: 23-1, runrate=2.56
Samuel 5-2-6-1
Hardy* 15 (31 balls)
Earle 5 (6 balls)

Samuel strikes, removing Muldowney. Important partnership this, they can score some runs once they've seen off Samuel.

 

[Jakester1288]

Muldowney

Bahahaha, what a name!

FTR, Mulvaney > Muldowney.

 

[FreddieFan]

End of Over 16: 59-2, runrate=3.69
Kelly 3-1-10-0
Earle* 27 (38 balls)
Gilroy 1 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Hardy c. Samuel b. Sloan 28 (FOW: 50/2)

Hardy gone but still going alright.

 

[FreddieFan]

End of Over 30: 108-4, runrate=3.60
Ghandi 10-1-37-1
Ludlam* 16 (27 balls)
Mohan 2 (3 balls)

Not all that impressed. Earle getting out for 50 was a big blow. Still hopeful of getting 220, which I should be able to defend.

You should try to defend our money first
