Deane and Mcmanaman are going along nicely. Deane has played very well in his 2 BT20 games for the club. He scored 55 in the first and will probably make another 50 here.

He brought up his fifty off 34 balls and with a six.

Can Deane score a century. Thought I was going to lose this match but I've started well after losing a wicket first ball.

hedger_14 added 14 Minutes and 34 Seconds later...

Looking for 180+ here.

Deane and Mcmanaman have impressed me in this and last game.

A slow end to the innings but I'm happy with that performance never the less. Deane now just has to bowl well now.

 

[aussie1st]

Just got owned, bowled for 47 and they got it in 6.3 overs with 9 wickets in hand.

Futcher* 18 (12 balls)
Bevan 31 (18 balls)

Going to get smashed today....

As I type tho, this happens

5.3 W Samuel to Futcher
Flicked to square leg, good low catch diving forward by Teasdale.

Having forgotten how the BT20 bowling orders work, I now have Samuel bolwing all 4 up front it seems and that means no him at the death, so hopefully he takes another one.... or two.

Mampe just blasted 15 off that last over, were still in the hunt amazingly enough!

And that's the end of the match. BFN Bombers won by 7 wickets.
Meenans Athletic 180-3
BFN Bombers 184-3

Mampe* 89 (54 balls)
Teasedale* 21 (15 balls)

That was all Mampe, every time we seemed like we'd fall to far behind a 6 would pop up, or ever two in a row in some cases!

Glad about that win, when I scouted my opponent it seemed I could maybe win on a GFI so I went for the TIE expecting a loss, but hey, this is a win! Looking forward to the RS.

BFN Bombers Meenans Athletic
Top Order: strong miraculous

Seam Bowling: exceptional sensational

MOTM: Mampe

Can't argue with MOTM at all, top scored and took a wicket. Chuffed with the result, according to the summary we were clearly second best so that was a good win.

Artell* 45 (25 balls)
Maloney 0 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Cronin Run Out 0 (FOW: 68/3)

Need to get Artell out. Gilroy now has been brought off after taking 2/13 from 2 over's. Deane kept it tight in his first over.

hedger_14 added 18 Minutes and 37 Seconds later...

11.5 W Gilroy to Mcfarlane
Mcfarlane can't believe he has gotten out to that. It was a rank long hop and he couldn't have picked Deane out any better.
11.4 W Gilroy to Maloney
Gotcha. Round the wicket and the ball pitches on middle and straightens. Maloney tries to drive through the on side but can't account for the spin and is struck on the pad. Loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger.

That's what he can do. Brought back on and takes 2 wickets in a row.

Consider yourself lucky I have been struggling since tuesday

I've been struggling since Sunday!

Dam these guys don't want to up the run rate.

Deane. What a match for him. 90* off 48 balls to guide the team to victory with 4.1 over's to spare and 8 wickets in hand.

Last Wicket: Realeboha c. Porter b. Bird 13 (FOW: 27/3)

The match I thought I'd win.... Doesn't look good, I'll only chase this down if someone really steps up like Mampe did yesterday.

 

[Maxkarter]

19.6 W Bird to Mitten
Bird traps Mitten plumb with aplomb.
19.5 W Bird to Tapp
Knocked him over. Bird bowls a good length ball on off and middle with a hint of inswing, Tapp tries to hit across the line towards midwicket but misses, the ball crashing into the stumps.
19.4 W Bird to Kelaart
He's out. That was a disgraceful shot. It was a wide ball and he's had a little dabble and gifted Porter a catch.
19.3 W Bird to Fox
He's gone LBW. That's a controversial decision, Fox thinks he got bat on the ball. Replays suggest that Fox is right; it looks like he got an inside edge first.

Nice over to end the innings methinks!

End of Over 20: 190-8, runrate=9.50
Bird 4-0-30-6
Mcmahon* 7 (5 balls)
Devaney 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Mitten lbw b. Bird 0 (FOW: 190/8)

191is a big target, yesterday the team chased 180 in arguably better bowling conditions. First over started well with 12 off it, just hope it stays that way!
