hehe.. Thats why I always prefer to bowl first

End of Over 36: 157-10, runrate=4.36
Gayle 9-0-38-2
Hume* 50 (40 balls)

So this should be easy to chase it down now. Pity that guy to collapse with 14 overs to go. I am sure, 250+ should have made this contest excellent.

Lol, am I underestimating the pitch & opponent,

End of Over 6: 21-2, runrate=3.50, reqrunrate=3.11 (157-10)
James 3-0-15-1
Singh* 1 (1 balls)
Heads 6 (14 balls)

Very bad start to the low scoring chase. Com'on its the home ground & Tigers should make it :upray

I thought I had this cup match in the bag a few minutes ago when I saw this.

End of Over 40: 247-3, runrate=6.18
Piper 10-0-70-0
Milan* 106 (87 balls)
Morenas 50 (57 balls)

But then it ended like this.

End of Over 47: 279-10, runrate=5.94
Westlake 8-0-34-4
Morenas* 61 (66 balls)

Hope our bowlers bowl well.

Last Wicket: Stock c. Lebimo b. James 14 (FOW: 20/2)

Some steady partnership. Singh needs to do the repair works. Com'on Tigers!

Some Singh bashing,

15.5 4 Cumberworth to Singh
Great timing off the back foot and the ball races through the covers for four.
15.4 4 Cumberworth to Singh
'He's round, he's fat, he gives the ball a smack, Singh, Singh' rings round the ground after that pull shot for four. He has a cult following in the Eastern terrace.
15.3 4 Cumberworth to Singh
The crowd are chanting "Singh's barmy army" as the batsman bludgeons that perfectly decent delivery from Cumberworth to the long off boundary.

:happy

End of Over 16: 84-2, runrate=5.25, reqrunrate=2.18 (157-10)
Cumberworth 3-0-25-0
Singh* 44 (26 balls)
Heads 20 (49 balls)

Last Wicket: Stock c. Lebimo b. James 14 (FOW: 20/2)

So victory lap is near.. :banana2

Glad that, we didn't let the control to slip. Just few more to go..:happy

 

[Jakester1288]

I made 2/277, Cranbourne Cricket Club were all out for 268, with their allrounder still in with 95*.

Close match, but I'll advance.

 

[hedger_14]

End of Over 197 (2 runs). Hedgers XI: 958-9, runrate=4.86
Lead by 936 runs. (Bankstown 22-10)
Overs left today: 3
Alcock 39-3-179-1
Laurent* 3 (60 balls)
Boddy 215 (256 balls)

Last Wicket: Bridge c. Lawson b. Branson 0 (FOW: 918/9)

Guess I'm going to have to win this game. I would have prefered to bat first but I lost the toss and bowled them out quickly. And Boddy has been sold too so he will be making his way out after this game and Bittner also scored 324 off 310 balls. And this person isn't even a bot. I have got such an easy group but I get dominated in the league above me so I'm going to camp this season and then try next.

Second XI v a bot.

Should be able to wrap it up fairly easily tomorrow around lunch/tea.

[StickyWicket]

The BT crowd is smarter than you think, I'll tell you that.



87.4 W Bartle to Mavuso
Beautiful delivery finds an edge. Dyke grabs it, the appeals go up. He's out!
87.3 W Bartle to Weller
Great bowling! Bartle picks up the batsman's forward movement early and bowls a ball that skids through Weller's defences. Dyke has the simple job of removing a bail and Bartle picks up a wicket.
87.2 W Bartle to Zithulele
Charges the delivery, struck in the air but not very far, Maduwantha takes the catch at midwicket a few metres inside the circle.
87.1 . Bartle to Zithulele
There's an enchanting, almost haunting hum going around the ground; the crowd seems to be filled with expectation that something is about to happen. Not this ball however. Circumspect defence and no run.

 

[Highlander999]

This match could go anyway, I've got a few of my guys on defensive in case of a collapse. Just hope I can pick up this final wicket quickly tomorrow:

Provided he's playing his first XI, this should be a good match.

Got his 1/7, first wicket just fallen. Cmon boys!
