FTP: From the Pavilion general chat

[Chewie]

lol you're getting owned

 

[hedger_14]

The good thing at the moment is that Byrne and O'Leary, my 2 best batsman are at the crease and have got started.

 

[Chewie]

Your two youth players didn't last long

You're much behind the required run rate now, I'd say you don't have much chance of getting there to be honest

 

[hedger_14]

Never expected to chase it down but if these 2 stay in the whole innings, then I will have a chance if they decide they want to pick up the RR. The RRR is now up to just below 9.5.

They must have heard me. Well I guess I am only up in the pavilion and I must have been shouting loud enough.

That is 50 runs for O'Leary (51 runs, 39b 6x4 1x6) SR:130.77
16.5 2 Campbell to O'Leary : Bouncer, hooked away by O'Leary. King cuts it off just inside the rope, and the batsmen run 2.
16.4 2 Campbell to O'Leary : Clipped off his thigh and the batsmen run 2.
16.3 4 Campbell to O'Leary : Wayward delivery from Campbell. O'Leary opens the face of the bat and slots the ball nicely through gully. Poor bowling, great strokeplay. 4 runs.
16.2 4 Campbell to O'Leary : Nothing wrong with that ball from Campbell, but it's driven away on the up for a classy boundary.

Couple more overs like that and you could be in with a chance, albeit a slim chance.

 

[Chewie]

Haha since posting that they've really turned on the gas! 15 runs the next over

 

[hedger_14]

Well they've decided to up the RR a little with another huge over.

That is the 100 partnership (101 runs, 81b, 7x4, 3x6) SR:124.69
17.5 6 Mishra to O'Leary : Making swift steps down the pitch O'Leary has lofted that so far in the air for 6 that it reminds me of Mark Greatbatch.
17.4 1 Mishra to Byrne : Tucked around the corner by Byrne and O'Leary calls him through for a quick single. Good running!
17.3 1 Mishra to O'Leary : Tossed up on the legs and O'Leary uses his feet superbly, gets to the pitch of the ball and drives it through mid-on straight to the man on the boundary. The batsmen pick up a single.
17.2 3 Mishra to Byrne : Fuller ball from Mishra, Byrne drives solidly but doesn't get the connection he wanted and King chases it down a fair way short of the rope.
17.1 4 Mishra to Byrne : [misfield] A casual one-handed attempt results in a misfield by Caterer.

End of over 18 (15 runs) - Hedger's Team(116-2). 292 runs required from 32 overs. RR 6.44 RRR 9.12
A. O'Leary 58 (43b) , S. Byrne 41 (46b) , A. Mishra 4-1-26-0

Another good over, 10 off.

I can already read the headlines.

Byrne and O'Leary put on a 390 run partnership to guide Hedger's Team to an unbelievable victory​

lol, 66 runs off the last 5 overs.

Just woke up and saw the scorecard


Christopher return to the form is good news after 2 ducks in last 2 games.
It is a bit surprising that the normal players failed in this match and those who were aggressive scored good.

 

[Iridium]

150 partnership up. Good stuff.

 

[AngryPixel]

Dunbar and Powers were awesome. I'm waiting for their second spell which is very near.... Hoping for some more wickets

Wicket.. Yeah

 

[hedger_14]

Damn you AP for getting on. O'Leary falls for 88. Young off the mark first ball with a boundary.

 

[AngryPixel]

Hahaha. Drinks break now. Hoping for another classic loss of concentration after a break wicket.
Last over as a tight one. RR is back to 9.

Dunbar is a bowler, he's played a nice little cameo. His highest score before this was 14

 

[Iridium]

In following Hedger's match I didn't realize I had a friendly on with Zorax. Nothing to see, I'm going to lose.

 

[AngryPixel]

Need to get Byrne out soon. Match is really balanced ATM.

 

[hedger_14]

Really happy that Young got out so I have a chance now having my next best batsman after O'Leary and Byrne at the crease. A good century for Byrne as well.
