2) A proper wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:/:arwk:) in your XI.

Explanation on pitch types

:bwl::down: Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
:left::right: Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
:ar::up: Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
:bat::left: Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
:bwl::up: Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.
:ar::left: Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way
:right::left: Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
:down::down: Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind where most batsmen rarely score at above 3 an over.

But Maxwell could! One ball after hitting him for six, Rachin Ravindra tried to break the shackles once again and holed out to deep cover. It was the end of a very strange and bogged down innings from a man who had stuck a 63-ball ton in his previous match.

The Continentals could only manage 21 off their final three with Josh Little keeping it airtight. They finished with 281 off their 50 overs, comfortably the highest total at this venue all season, with the previous three scorecards reading 202, 195 and 202. It will by no means prove an easy chase for Malahide.​

Johnson's pace and aggression proved simply too much for Moeen Ali, who was as tentative as they come at the crease and nicked behind tamely. Malahide had now lost half their side still needing another 81 for victory as their skipper walked in and suffered a close shave himself with the ball flying wide of the only slip fielder present for a boundary. ​

Buddha hoga tera baap (Your father is old, not me :p).. MS Dhoni was well and truly back! It ought to be very simple for Malahide now with under a run-a-ball required off the final three.​

Oh well, if only. In typical Dhoni style he played out O'Keefe for five dots in succession in a bid to 'take the game deep'.. 17 off 12 balls now..​


Code: 
48.1  Ravindra to Maxwell, OUT, That ball caught the edge and struck the stumps. Maxwell cant belive it

         b. Ravindra



dm_170924_240917_INDvAUS_MDRO_ODI3_MAXWELLCHAT_NRH.jpg


And the move backfired spectacularly with the well set Maxwell taking an unnecessary gamble to bring out his switch hit, which going by history has never really worked in Europa Cup finals. Another Malahide choke on the horizon?​


Code: 
48.2  Ravindra to Khan, one run, Great cooperation between Rashid Khan and MS Dhoni      
48.3  Ravindra to Dhoni, no run, Rachin Ravindra is getting the ball to turn ferociously

Dhoni did manage to strike the final ball of Ravindra's over for a boundary, which brought it down to 9 off the final over. Rashid Khan, who has been striking the ball quite brilliantly from the lower order at nearly 130 and Dhoni himself remain.

Spencer-Johnson-3.jpeg


It would be a pretty simple guess for most if only the bowler in question wasn't Spencer Johnson. Yeah, the same guy who had only 5 to defend off a final over in his previous match and conceded only 3. Ah well, here we go..



Maybe next time. Ciao! :lol:lol

Joe Burns got to fifty as well at a little under a run-a-ball. Some relief after having endured a wretched tournament where he totaled just 40 runs at an average of 8 from his five innings prior to this. Meanwhile, the century stand was up between the two which definitely spelled problems for Malahide.​

The Continentals skipper Moises Henriques was also claimed cheaply by Rashid, who after enduring a rather quiet tournament with the ball by his lofty standards was back into the thick of things. A big match player if ever there was one.​

But Maxwell could! One ball after hitting him for six, Rachin Ravindra tried to break the shackles once again and holed out to deep cover. It was the end of a very strange and bogged down innings from a man who had stuck a 63-ball ton in his previous match.

The Continentals could only manage 21 off their final three with Josh Little keeping it airtight. They finished with 281 off their 50 overs, comfortably the highest total at this venue all season, with the previous three scorecards reading 202, 195 and 202. It will by no means prove an easy chase for Malahide.​

Just as the partnership was threatening to take the game away from the Continentals, Spencer Johnson got the much needed breakthrough by castling Hales with his extreme pace. He could have had two in the over had he not fluffed Ervine off his own bowling.​

Johnson's pace and aggression proved simply too much for Moeen Ali, who was as tentative as they come at the crease and nicked behind tamely. Malahide had now lost half their side still needing another 81 for victory as their skipper walked in and suffered a close shave himself with the ball flying wide of the only slip fielder present for a boundary. ​

Buddha hoga tera baap (Your father is old, not me :p).. MS Dhoni was well and truly back! It ought to be very simple for Malahide now with under a run-a-ball required off the final three.​

357408.6.jpg


Oh well, if only. In typical Dhoni style he played out O'Keefe for five dots in succession in a bid to 'take the game deep'.. 17 off 12 balls now..​


Code: 
48.1  Ravindra to Maxwell, OUT, That ball caught the edge and struck the stumps. Maxwell cant belive it

         b. Ravindra



dm_170924_240917_INDvAUS_MDRO_ODI3_MAXWELLCHAT_NRH.jpg


And the move backfired spectacularly with the well set Maxwell taking an unnecessary gamble to bring out his switch hit, which going by history has never really worked in Europa Cup finals. Another Malahide choke on the horizon?​


Code: 
48.2  Ravindra to Khan, one run, Great cooperation between Rashid Khan and MS Dhoni    
48.3  Ravindra to Dhoni, no run, Rachin Ravindra is getting the ball to turn ferociously
48.4  Ravindra to Dhoni, no run, MS Dhoni missed that one by a mile

Dhoni did manage to strike the final ball of Ravindra's over for a boundary, which brought it down to 9 off the final over. Rashid Khan, who has been striking the ball quite brilliantly from the lower order at nearly 130 and Dhoni himself remain.

Spencer-Johnson-3.jpeg


It would be a pretty simple guess for most if only the bowler in question wasn't Spencer Johnson. Yeah, the same guy who had only 5 to defend off a final over in his previous match and conceded only 3. Ah well, here we go..


Code: 
49.1  Johnson to Khan, FOUR, Spencer Johnson cant belive it

Rashid-Khan-3.jpg


Inside edge and the ball only just missed leg stump, went past the keeper and all the way to the boundary! What a start for Malahide, and despair for Johnson who didn't do much wrong there. 5 off 5 required..

Code: 
49.2  Johnson to Khan, one run, That is very well run by MS Dhoni

98d5295011834a779205777253de194326d11.jpg


This time Rashid managed to tuck the ball down to long-on for just a single to hand the strike back to Dhoni. Can he finish things off in style with just 4 required off 4 balls?

Code: 
49.3  Johnson to Dhoni, one run, That was a very risky single.


357972.jpg


Not this time. The great finisher could only just dig out another one of Johnson's pacy yorkers for a single. Over to Rashid again, it's 3 needed off 3 balls..

Code: 
49.4  Johnson to Khan, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!


dm_230331_INET_CRIC_ipl23_m1-rashid_hnm_global.jpg


Rashid Khan finished it off in style with a six down the ground! Malahide Mavericks are the official champions of Europa Cup V! A gutting finish for Continental United after such a dominant campaign, and for Spencer Johnson for whom lightning sadly did not strike twice.

Malahide Mavericks, the team with the best win-loss record in Europa Cup history and yet one which never managed to win the title before managed to do so at long last after five seasons of underperformance and choking at crucial moments. It was MS Dhoni's gift to them in what could be his one and only Europa Cup season at the age of 42, with his ice cool composure aiding greatly in getting the best out of some extremely hot and cold cricketers in the form of Glenn Maxwell, Andre Russell, Alex Hales, Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie, George Dockrell among others - some of whom finally gained redemption for their disastrous showing in the Season III title clash which they lost to the Highland Barbarians in quite embarrassing fashion. Even head coach Jacques Kallis finally did as a coach what he failed to do as a player all those years ago.

75c3ypk.jpg


It was a heartbreaking end for Continental United, who dominated the season unlike any team ever has in any season here at the Europa Cup only to fall short at the last hurdle. They won a whopping seven matches in succession since their sole defeat in Round 1, and some by extremely ginormous margins too such as the 284-run rout of former champions Edinburgh Bulls, and another with nearly 15 overs to spare against the Hague Harriers. Led by the likes of Quinton de Kock and Rachin Ravindra they played a refreshing brand of cricket with each and every batter in their top six with the exception of Burns scoring at a strike rate above or just approaching 100, and were the only team to breach the 400-run mark this season. But it still wasn't enough to get their hands on the title which they got closest to winning than any time before.

369926.6.jpg


Glenn Maxwell, a player symbolic to Malahide's inability to perform in crucial games finally put to bed those memories of seasons past and saved one of his best all-round performances for when his team really needed it with a 35-ball fifty and wicket-taking spell of 3 for 51 off his 10 overs - enough to win him Player of the Match today. His season tally stood at an equally impressive 252 runs at 42.00 with a breakneck century (off 58 balls) and half-century apiece, whilst striking at an astounding 136.22 runs per 100 balls which was second only to Andre Russell (147.57, also from Malahide) among batters with a minimum of 100 runs in the competition. But he hit by far the most sixes by any batter - 15 from 5 innings, with the next best being Russell's 12 from 7, and not to mention the fact that he also claimed 10 wickets at 23.70 apiece with his under-rated offbreaks. All deserving for Player of the Tournament surely?

tuiXdNB.jpg


No. That honor went to Rachin Ravindra, who having just come off the most prolific display by any World Cup first-timer also lit up the Europa Cup in equal measure with 323 runs at 64.60 whilst striking at 111.38, and claimed 9 wickets at 18.33 from 5 matches whilst conceding at 4.71 per over - making him the second most economical bowler among those to have bowled a minimum of 20 overs in what has been a extremely batter-dominated competition. Despite not being at his best with the bat in the final, those were numbers that would have done even Garry Sobers and Jacques Kallis proud for which he was duly awarded Player of the Tournament.


Off to the Champions League now for Malahide. That's all.

Code: 
CONTINENTAL UNITED   281/7     50.0 overs
MALAHIDE MAVERICKS   285/6     49.4 overs

Would have loved for MS to score the winning runs, but great composure shown by Khan. A fitting finish to a elushtrious career my a master cricketer.
Great show all round by the Malahide Mavericks squad :cheers
