Playing a bot?

 

[StickyWicket]

What a thriller.

And that's the end of the match. Invincibles XI won by 2 runs.
Invincibles XI 260-5
Unbeatable 258-7

They needed 15 off the last over and this happened

49.6 1 Hickes to van der Merwe
van der Merwe allows the ball to run off the face of the bat and down to third man for a single.
49.5 1 Hickes to Burns
False stroke there but they take the single regardless.
49.4 1 Hickes to van der Merwe
Milked away for a single. Moo.
49.3 1 Hickes to Burns
Play is held up briefly as the non-striker asks the umpire to tie his shoelace. Hickes then sends down a flat, fast delivery which is played away to the on side for a single.
49.2 4 Hickes to Burns
Waits for it and drives through long off.
49.1 4 Hickes to Burns
Gets forward and plays it high over a vacant long off for a four.



LOL @ the last ball.

Playing a guy who relegated from div 2 into my league...

22 players, 2 NT players, 5 players with skills above exquisite. One of them is exquisite+ in both departments

Tune in...

Battrick - Harefield Village v St. Johns Penguins CC

[hedger_14]

End of Over 21: 95-2, runrate=4.52
Mckay 1-0-4-1
Bittner* 32 (47 balls)
Crouse 4 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Boddy c. Bullard b. Mckay 55 (FOW: 91/2)

Pretty even at the moment. Griffiths went for a duck but Boddy and Bittner got things back before Boddy during the last over. Hopefully Bittner (my Superb/Quality bat) can score a century here. The teams are pretty evenly matched.

 

[aussie1st]

Ah crap forgot to move Crouch down as hes made significant contributions in all matches this season.

End of Over 22: 142-2, runrate=6.45
Woodbridge 1-0-4-1
Crouch* 48 (44 balls)
Branch 3 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Shet c. Le roux b. Woodbridge 70 (FOW: 138/2)

Huge surprise was Shet knock 70 off 58 and hes steady.

 

[hedger_14]

Bittner got run out which was a big blow for me and Baliram and Crouch couldn't get going. Now it's up to Crouse and my 2 mediocre batsman (Bowlers. Both Remarkable rated bowlers). to get us to a score of over 200.

End of Over 36: 141-5, runrate=3.92
Tredgett 8-1-17-2
Crouse* 15 (38 balls)
Gilroy 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Crouch lbw b. Tredgett 12 (FOW: 141/5)

 

[hedger_14]

End of Over 1: 5-1, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=3.61 (181-10)
Fieldhouse 1-0-5-1
Bullard* 1 (1 balls)
Wardley 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: North lbw b. Fieldhouse 4 (FOW: 4/1)

Early wicket which was what I needed defending only 180. Decided to open with spin so I'll be hoping Gilroy can take a few wickets to start off with. The opening 10 over's are vital if I want to win.

 

[Hooper]

Huge collapse, including losing 4 wickets in 6 balls with his bowler snaring a hat trick... And there I thought I had a chance of pulling off a HUGE upset against my cup opponent.

 

[hedger_14]

End of Over 7: 26-2, runrate=3.71, reqrunrate=3.63 (181-10)
Fieldhouse 4-0-15-2
Wardley* 12 (19 balls)
Peters 8 (15 balls)

Last Wicket: Bullard c. Baliram b. Fieldhouse 2 (FOW: 10/2)

Really need to get another wicket before these 2 bowlers finish their spells.

 

[hedger_14]

End of Over 16: 60-3, runrate=3.75, reqrunrate=3.59 (181-10)
Laurent 3-0-7-0
Croft* 15 (14 balls)
Wardley 24 (52 balls)

Last Wicket: Peters b. Gilroy 15 (FOW: 39/3)

Gilroy took a wicket in his final over of his first spell and he still has 5 overs left and Fieldhouse still has 3 over's left after taking 2/25 from his first spell.

 

[surendar]

Some good opponent in very second round, :sarcasm

End of Over 14: 66-2, runrate=4.71
Love 3-0-22-0
Lebimo* 27 (32 balls)
Gadd 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Sourav c. Bishop b. Penn 9 (FOW: 55/2)

Well, I need more wickets. I cannot let this match to go from my hands. Com'on Tigers!

 

[surendar]

Yes yes, two more wickets.

End of Over 21: 92-4, runrate=4.38
Naidoo 5-0-38-0
Hessenthaler* 2 (8 balls)
Hume 4 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Lebimo Run Out 44 (FOW: 88/4)

Two new batsmen at crease, I think its good time for us to put them in check.

 

[surendar]

I am glad that they are not playing full 50 overs quota

End of Over 33: 150-8, runrate=4.55
Love 6-0-37-3
Hume* 47 (36 balls)
James 1 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Rowley c. Heads b. Love 0 (FOW: 148/8)

Yes, yes!

 

[aussie1st]

Shouldn't have batted first, killed my own batsmen PFL!
