Dec 9-13: Melbourne Bitters vs Pakastani Legends (ICL) [Semi-Final]

[The Spin]

We annilated them in the end. Both with bat & ball. They struggled to make runs while we made them in no time. I'm happy with my 83 & 74 not out.

And how in the hell didn't I get Man of the Match?!

...Well done, Spin.

You played brilliantly, and I think I'll give you this MOTM award. Your performance despite the poor pitch was excellent. Well played mate!

great win boys!!! congrats spin and ben on playing great matches. Grand final time now!

Thanks mate, some great bowling by yourself as well

well played bitters you played superbly and beat the legends hands down

 

[The Spin]

Well, there is a time when even the great must be humbled.

Well done to the Bitters. They played superbly and thoroughly deserved victory. We were outplayed in both innings. In particular, I would like to congratulate two people: The Spin and rickyp.
The Spin, well done for your Man of the Match award. You bowled like a legend in both innings and were a key factor in our downfall. Sledging may take place on the pitch, but after a good game one must make peace and congratulate the winner.
rickyp, well done for leading your team to such a crushing victory. Great leadership qualities and well done with the ball. Have to give you credit for finally manage to remove me!

Good luck to the Bitters for the Grand Final and hope you bring the trophy home to PC!

I too must congratulate you on 2 spirited and superb performances. The star man of your team in this game. Congratulations to all the Legends as well, after the 1st innings it looked over, but you clawed back a bit. Brilliant competitors, all of you

Yes well done guys.
Shame you guys couldn't dislodge...

Nah won't go into that again

Great game played in brilliant spirit.
Wish you good luck in the final and hope Spin and Rickyp get 10 fors in the match

Thanks mate, well played. It turned into a great game

Welldone everybody...a good game of cricket...ofcourse i am bit sad that we lost and couldn't reach the final(if we did we would have won lol) but thats how things work...we beat them twice before this season but when it really mattered we were beaten...

Welldone to spin on such a brilliant performance and also wfdu_ben91 for his amazing performance as well but a special thanks to Blazer for keeping our hopes alive and posting regularly...
