BT is going to be screwing someone over in the Briggs and Adrash game.

 

[Adarsh]

This was when the runs dried up in my innings. Hopefully it'll be mirrored in the 2nd one.

 

[Briggsey]

Well seems like scoring well only happens every other 4 overs! 20 off one set, then 58 of the next, and now 8 from the last 7!!?? sense a pattern here, but i wont complain if we score 50+ from the final 4

This was when the runs dried up in my innings. Hopefully it'll be mirrored in the 2nd one.

I can see us falling short by 20 odd runs the way things are going.

Brough goes for 19 off one over, then 3 from his next, thats just bizzare. Code needs looking at really you'd expect more runs here than you would in the overs beforehand.

 

[Adarsh]

Awesome from Brough. AWESOME.

End of Over 14: 134-1, runrate=9.57, reqrunrate=11.00 (199-2)
Brough 4-0-41-0
Sohail* 67 (40 balls)
Jepson 59 (40 balls)

Last Wicket: Ainsworth c. Hoult b. Mcdonald 0 (FOW: 0/1)

Are the tables turning ?

Followed by a cringeworthy one from Hoult.....I'm going to fire him.

 

[Briggsey]

Sohail didnt like that comment

14.1 6 Hoult to Sohail
It's going, going and it's gone. Ace batting by Sohail.
14.2 6 Hoult to Sohail
That's gone an absolute country mile!
14.4 6 Hoult to Jepson
Jepson resembled a local farmer with that agricultural shot. He doesn't care though as six more are added to the total.

Wahey!!

 

[Adarsh]

This is the last you're going to see of Hoult.

F*****g, Friggin crap. This is just bull**** from Hoult. Mixed with a lot of crap.

 

[Briggsey]

This is the last you're going to see of Hoult.

24 from his over!!! Thats awesome! Im loving this at the moment! These two are really turning it on! Especially Sohail, he deserves that century.

42 from 30 with 9 wickets left, lets go boys!

 

[Adarsh]

End of Over 15: 158-1, runrate=10.53, reqrunrate=8.40 (199-2)

Sohail 80 (43 balls)

Last Wicket: Ainsworth c. Hoult b. Mcdonald 0 (FOW: 0/1)

42 needed from the last 5. I got 48.

 

[PhilD123]

5 Overs to tee off now, the RRR's gone up a bit, but just 5 overs to go so while they're favourites, I still have a chance.

End of Over 15: 114-6, runrate=7.60, reqrunrate=9.40 (160-2)
Milner	4-0-26-1

4 off Brackenbridge's over. McDonald's back on. Is this a cracking game or what !?!

 

[Briggsey]

Poor last over that, puts it back in your favour now Adi

Last Wicket: Ainsworth c. Hoult b. Mcdonald 0 (FOW: 0/1)

4 off Brackenbridge's over. McDonald's back on. Is this a cracking game or what !?!

Im loving every minute of it! I even enjoyed watching your batsman take me to the cleaners its just exciting to see balls going all over, and with the situation this game is in, it just makes it more thrilling! Gotta be the best Twenty20 PC game!

End of Over 17: 170-1, runrate=10.00, reqrunrate=10.00 (199-2)
Mcdonald 3-1-17-1
Jepson* 78 (51 balls)
Sohail 84 (47 balls)

Last Wicket: Ainsworth c. Hoult b. Mcdonald 0 (FOW: 0/1)

Bang on run rates! Cracking final 3 are in store! score well off Mcdonald's final and take the majority from the other 2.

 

[Adarsh]

Hmm. One bad over and it's game over for me.

End of Over 17: 170-1, runrate=10.00, reqrunrate=10.00 (199-2)

My bowling is crap. Actually, it's crapper than crap! My batting is alright, when I get some money, I really have to buy some half-decent bowlers.

 

[PhilD123]

Fu you absolute beauty!

15.6 	4	Whiting to Fu
 	 	Short, wide, you know the drill.
15.5 	4	Whiting to Fu
 	 	Oh dear! That was the longest of long hops from Whiting and it got the treatment it deserved from Fu.
15.4 	4	Whiting to Fu
 	 	Fu has punished that straight past Ricketts in the covers.

I'm still in the game:D

Shot Kubisa

[CODE]16.4 	4	Mcconville to Kubisa
 	 	Nice shot, they'll get three here?oh terrible throw to Sumner and they'll run an extra one.

Damn, I knew it would be too good to last.

[COLOR=Red]16.5 	W	Mcconville to Kubisa
 	 	The ball nipped back as he went for the pull and he gets a fine edge. Sumner and Mcconville appeal like one man and the umpire sends Kubisa back to the changing rooms.[/COLOR]

28 needed from 18, not impossible but now very much improbable

 

[Briggsey]

Jepson what are you doing to me!?!!! Give strike to Sohail!!
28 from 12 now, the odds of hitting Mcdonald away for 14 are unlikely, going to be falling short

Yes Sohail thats it!! Good lad!

18.1 4 Mcdonald to Sohail
Sohail charges down the pitch and pounds it for six. No, wait! It's gone to the third umpire, who says it's landed just millimetres inside the rope. Sohail can feel a little unlucky not to get maximum runs there.
18.3 4 Mcdonald to Jepson
Straight bat, he managed to get into the gap past cover and a boundary is the result.

Jepson too! Cmon! 9 from the first 3, 9 from the last 3 and we are looking ok!
