Can anyone make a signature for me about this story.

I don't think anyone will notice if you ask that question here. Maybe it would be better if you asked it in the Artwork Forum.

League Match Review Jeanz Vs Assassins XI
About Match: League Match No. 9 between Jeanz and Assassins XI was held at Loosers are buried here on and uneven pitch under a some light clouds. After wining the toss Jeanz elected to field. Assassins XI started well but in 10th over there star opener Mahmood was bowled by Mathews for 19 runs when score was 43. Then disaster started. In next over there other opener Hansen was runout after scoring 19 runs. Haquani was then clean bowled for a golden duck by Hyron. Jamil was then bowled by Ayre leaving the score at 46/4. At that time Holis and Bernard steadied the innings. They batted next 20 overs taking there team score to 143 with a partnership of 97 runs. Bernard was then unfortunately out after scoring 41 runs. Holis stood there for whole innings but there was no one to support him on the other end. He got his team to 193 runs and then was stumped trying to smash spinner Jantjes out of the ground.
In bowling department our performance was not very good. There opener provided them with a good start. There first wicket fell on 28 when Longmead was lbw by Naidoo. Then for next 20 overs Akhlagulla, Mackintosh and Robinson were able to restrict them scoring freely and also taking few wickets. After 40 overs the req run rate was over 5 and 5 wickets were remaining. At that time our bowlers failed us. Some very good batting from Broomes and Ghani and some bad bowling from Robinson saw Jeanz achieve there target in 47 overs.
Scorecard:

Reporter?s Summary:

MOTM: Broomes was MOTM for his excellent performance with the bat.

Manager?s Thoughts:
Zain Awan manager of Assassins XI spoke with press after the match. ?Well I am disappointed but our guys performed there best today on the field. Few unlucky things happened like losing the toss and batting first. Then our bowlers didn?t performed that well. But there were still few positives out of this match like I will especially praise Holis for his excellent innings under pressure. And some credit also goes to Bernard who justified his place in the team. I congratulate the manager of Jeanz fatal.error for his teams excellent performance this season and there promotion to div III which now looks certain. Good Luck to you mate.?

A friendly match between Aura and Assassins XI was held at Aura CG on a dusty pitch. Assassins after wining the toss elected to bat first. They lost there first wicket when there star batsman Mahmood was bowled by Illangange for 23 runs when score was 41. Then came Holis the only batsman who scored against Jeanz on Friday. Hansen and Holis then build a partnership of 208 runs for 2nd wicket. Holis was unlucky to get out on 99 of 123 balls when team score was 249. Hansen continued his brilliant innings and scored an unbeaten 143 of 133 balls. Haquani was not out on 18 of 16 balls as Assassins XI scored 303-2 in there 50 overs.

Scorecard:

Reporter?s Summary:

MOTM: Wijenayake was MOTM for his excellent performance with the bat.

Manger?s Thoughts:
Manger Zain Awan said after the match in press conference ?I am really disappointed by my bowlers they did not perform according to requirements. We had an excellent chance to win when required runrate mounted to 7.2 but again our bowlers in last ten overs gave away too many runs. I will have to do something about this.?
