You should try to defend our money first

I take no responsibility if you lose all your money. You know how betting works; there is always a risk.

Stiles 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Mohan c. Fish b. Sloan 8 (FOW: 123/5)


32.6 W Sloan to Mohan
Nicked and gone, good catch by first slip. Fish had a hard time keeping his eye on that, especially since Porter was diving across in front of him.

Are you sure about that?

Are you sure about that?

I have faith in Ludlam

Samuel is repeating Swanns action of today

End of Over 41: 151-7, runrate=3.68
Samuel 6-2-8-3
Brush* 1 (1 balls)
Stiles 15 (23 balls)

Last Wicket: Dlomo c. Sloan b. Samuel 0 (FOW: 150/7)

Very similar

Two wickets for Samuel in that over. I'm going to have to bowl well here.

I want to score more than Australia did

End of Over 1: 0-1, runrate=0.00, reqrunrate=3.61 (176-10)
Duncan 1-1-0-1
Fish* 0 (0 balls)
Surmon 0 (1 balls)

Encouraging start. Surmon is the big wicket.

17.3 W Dodd to Fish
What an ugly end for Fish, he's wafted at one outside the off stump and paid the penalty.

Thank god for that, dangerous partnership.

End of Over 18: 54-2, runrate=3.00, reqrunrate=3.84 (176-10)
Dodd 4-0-11-1
Surmon* 30 (48 balls)
Porter 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Fish c. Mohan b. Dodd 23 (FOW: 54/2)

20.4 W Dlomo to Porter
Porter can resist anything except temptation, and that one tempted him to hit the ball straight to cover.

Another wicket. Advantage me? Maybe.

End of Over 21: 55-3, runrate=2.62, reqrunrate=4.21 (176-10)
Dlomo 4-1-9-1
Surmon* 31 (60 balls)
Teasdale 0 (2 balls)

35.5 W Dodd to Surmon
Wide delivery from Dodd which ripped off the surface and moved virtually sideways onto off stump. Incredible bowling from Dodd. Surmon can't believe it.

That's a huge wicket, but Justin still favourite IMO.

End of Over 36: 126-4, runrate=3.50, reqrunrate=3.64 (176-10)

Nicholls* 1 (1 balls)

A day of upsets for the favourites. Well done Max, your batting has come along way since we last met. If only my number 3 played a knock like your one did.

Weird don't remember changing my bowling setup to normal.

End of Over 8: 27-0, runrate=3.38, reqrunrate=4.88 (231-9)
Champness 4-0-16-0
Mccloud* 12 (20 balls)
Angus 15 (28 balls)

I shouldn't win this, but I'd be stoked if I could get away with it. Anyway, with the bat, I was going well, 2-199, then I had an over with a wicket, a triple wicket maiden, a wicket over the next, so 5 wickets lost in 3 overs, then 4 overs later, another wicket. I was on track for 250 as well, against an opposition playing a weaker team, that is still stronger than mine.

Hoping when the ████ bowlers come on (my openers are the best, rest are dire) they can keep it tight and get some wickets.

EDIT: 3 balls into the over we get the breakthrough! GO BIGNOT!

End of Over 21: 111-3, runrate=5.29, reqrunrate=4.17 (231-9)
Fillery 1-0-1-0
Gogar* 5 (11 balls)
Tate 22 (19 balls)
Last Wicket: Daniel b. Beckwith 29 (FOW: 85/3)

They are speeding up, only lost 2 wickets too. Essentially, I need Fillery, Bignot and Champness, to bowl them out.

OH YEAH! AS I'M TYPING AND LOOKING FOR THE SCORE, I SEE CHAMPNESS HAS TAKEN GOGAR! OH YEAH!

Jakester1288 added 1 Minutes and 17 Seconds later...

4-112 after 22. GO BOYS!

Last Wicket: Rollins b. Fillery 0 (FOW: 190/9)

The ████ bowlers bowled out, weren't too bad, now my best 3, in Bignot, Champness and Fillery, tore them apart. 1 more wicket needed, they need 39 or so, I think I've got this, with only good bowlers left.

Jakester1288 added 5 Minutes and 31 Seconds later...

And that's the end of the match. Killers CC won by 37 runs.
Killers CC 231-9
Henry's XI 194-10


End of Over 44: 194-10, runrate=4.41
Fillery 6-2-16-3

I just realized I won with a bowler at 6 and no keeper, this is my second XI v his second XI, but I've got my firsts bowling and 2 firsts batsman.

Happy though.

LOL he will be gutted that he lost!

 

[Highlander999]

Bugger. The noob won the toss and put me in. I played 3 of my 1XI at the top of the order, and the rest is my 2XI, I just didn't want to waste PFL

End of Over 16: 95-0, runrate=5.94

[mattfb]

The bot I was playing made 9/239 somehow ==. But I got it 3 wickets down.

Now I have a beastly team ranked 900 in the world. Round 2 exit methinks.
