Take a look at this. I think that was my best win ever.

Top Order: sensational wonderful
Middle Order: exquisite remarkable
Lower Order: abysmal mediocre
Seam Bowling: phenomenal masterful
Spin Bowling: elite exceptional
Fielding: woeful mediocre

MOTM: Angel

Very impressive especially to defend such a low total.

 

[Left_Hander]

That's what I was most suprised about, considering they have both a strong top and middle order.

Fieldhouse isn't a very good sport...

4.4 . Gilroy to Finch
Sometimes I wonder if Fieldhouse has ever been to a fielding practice session. It's ok to bat and bowl but even the superstars have to field.
4.3 W Gilroy to Bradford
Bradford tries to force Gilroy to leg, he gets a top edge and three fielders converge on the ball... Bittner's safe hands take the catch.
4.2 W Gilroy to Appleton
Appleton tries to force Gilroy to leg, he gets a top edge and three fielders converge on the ball... Fieldhouse's safe hands take the catch.

Dam I got a worthless bowler bowling in my GFI. Forgot to change that over

Haha he just got our a miraculous batsmen!

17.4 W Esaia to Gill
Poor shot by Gill, who scoops the ball to Ray at midwicket.

T20 are so annoying, they are essentially win the toss, bowl first and win. I have lost my last 2 games in the final over, the last one on the last ball where I was vastly superior.

End of Over 42: 164-2, runrate=3.90, reqrunrate=9.75 (241-4)
Hinton 6-1-21-0
Hadland* 69 (121 balls)
Crowe 10 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Higgs c. Branch b. Fernandes 81 (FOW: 151/2)

Very interesting finishing coming up, Crowe is the key wicket.

 

[aussie1st]

Been in this position a few times against WC before the choke.

Ok, going alright in my first FC match of the season, although Fieldhouse got a wicket on the first ball of the match and we had them at 3/2 early on but they managed to fight back to 133/4.

End of Over 55 (2 runs). Puntroad Sloggers: 133-4, runrate=2.42

End of Over 7: 49-2, runrate=7.00
Staton 4-0-22-1
Nock* 15 (13 balls)
Gatting 7 (8 balls)

Last Wicket: Gayer lbw b. Staton 14 (FOW: 33/2)

Not going too great, two early wickets, including the big wicket of Bittner but now it's up to Gatting to get us to a total over 220 if we want to be competitive and progress in the Cup.

 

[aussie1st]

And that's the end of the match. Baggy Blues won by 9 wickets.
TooGood4u 11-10
Baggy Blues 12-1

My crowd won't be happy with 14 overs of play

 

[hedger_14]

Well Gatting has been superb today leading the way to a total which looks like it will be close to 280, if we can keep going.

End of Over 39: 204-3, runrate=5.23
Louis 8-1-38-0
Gatting* 82 (85 balls)
Euell 41 (34 balls)

Last Wicket: Nock c. Moloto b. Xhosa 52 (FOW: 144/3)

Nock getting out ended up being nice as he took 94 balls for his 52 and now Euell has scored very quickly.

 

[hedger_14]

Well we can definately win this now.

End of Over 50: 289-4, runrate=5.78
Staton 10-0-58-1
Von hoesslin* 5 (2 balls)
Euell 75 (66 balls)

Last Wicket: Gatting Run Out 128 (FOW: 284/4)

Gatting completely dominant with the bat before being run out in the final over.

 

[hedger_14]

Wow, a nailbiting match as they scored 285/3 from their 50 overs, as we win by 4 runs. Rowe starred with 1/35 from his 10 overs.

SOB Hinton decides to have his best bowling display in ages (3-27) when I decide to sell him.
