End of Over 38 (Maiden). Drewan Giants: 131-5, runrate=3.45 (1st Inn: 244-10)
Trail by 105 runs. (Killers CC 480-10)
Overs left today: 64
Champness 9-3-26-0
Nix* 1 (30 balls)
Dove 63 (97 balls)
Last Wicket: Oreilly b. Fillery 10 (FOW: 120/5)

Lol @ Nix. Doing a good job I suppose, they need to bat out for as long as possible, Dove has a ton on here if he can stay in with support. I won't be happy to lose, but I shouldn't really lose at this position. 5-131, still 105 behind, with 3 good bowlers, I should tear their tail apart when I get this next wicket. Whether it'll happen, I certainly hope so.

EDIT:

Nix 1 (41 balls)

Kevin is a RH Batsman and RM Bowler. He is an attacking player with abysmal leadership skills and feeble experience.

 

[aussie1st]

Chav fell short of his 100 but his 90 setup the match. My tail lasted long enough to get the job done, Sawyer brillant with 32 off 60 not out to win the match. Sawyer should get MOTM easily.

Fillery to start a collapse with that one.

Champness strikes the next over. Their best bat (of this innings) is now gone. All over red rover.

WOW!

From this:

End of Over 51 (6 runs). Drewan Giants: 182-7, runrate=3.57 (1st Inn: 244-10)
Trail by 54 runs. (Killers CC 480-10)

To this:

End of Over 52 (1 runs). Drewan Giants: 183-10, runrate=3.52 (1st Inn: 244-10)
Trail by 53 runs. (Killers CC 480-10)
Overs left today: 50
Bignot 8-1-37-6
Sneath* 11 (13 balls)

Bignot takes 3 in the over, including 2 in a row, unfortunately not getting a shot at the hattrick.

And that's the end of the match. Killers CC won by an innings and 53 runs.

Why not, and did you try to throw it?

Why not, and did you try to throw it?

I want to draw because if i get promoted at the end of season then it will be a more tougher group...

Had an 8 wicket win and my best reporters summary to date tbh:

Top Order: mediocre
Middle Order: mediocre
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: respectable
Spin Bowling: respectable
Fielding: woeful

 

[Highlander999]

Lost by 6 wickets Basically was just two monster batsmen for him which won him the match and a collapse by my guys in their second innings. I think if I had played a full 1XI especially with Manders there instead of resting for Friday, I probs could have got the draw at worst

Blingers

Top Order: mediocre
Middle Order: superb

Tomorrow I'm playing my second XI against a bot, mostly competents, on TIE, but with them all on normal. I normally put most or all of very attacking and make 350 odd, but how should I go with them on normal and TIE?

 

[mattfb]

Why bother playing your second XI on TIE? Just PAN it.

I want to see how they go. I can't lose, surely...

Jakester1288 added 4 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...

Lost toss and bowling, at a bot. At least my second XI bowling is ████, and on TIE, hopefully they can manage at least 200 to give me a decent hit out.

End of Over 2: 12-0, runrate=6.00
Gooding 1-0-6-0
Gill* 7 (7 balls)
Fox 5 (5 balls)

Decent start (: (I'm batting.)

EDIT: Jinxed it;

2.4 W Moleketi to Fox
Fox gets hit right in front on the back foot. Moleketi appeals and the finger goes up in an instant.

 

[Hooper]

Playing the only team in my OD league that is similar to me in abilities.

This game should be a cracker. I've GFI.

End of Over 11: 53-0, runrate=4.82
Edrick 6-0-26-0
Kamara* 33 (36 balls)
Liddle 20 (30 balls)

Not a bad start by them, I need to get Kamara, he looks very dangerous. Hopefully when my spin duo come into the attack they can keep the runs down and break this partnership.

 

[Jakester1288]

End of Over 17: 50-2, runrate=2.94
Kay 4-0-16-0
Edge* 5 (11 balls)
Levy 19 (48 balls)
Last Wicket: Chuguel Run Out 17 (FOW: 41/2)

This is good. Hopefully they can speed up and give me a target of 230 odd.

 

[mattfb]

End of Over 19: 103-1, runrate=5.42
Moleketi 10-0-45-1
Gill* 52 (55 balls)
Harvey 45 (52 balls)

Not bad. Hopefully I can get 280+
