Sounds all too familiar! Great fight-back by Grievously Bodily Hmarka! Can't wait to hear how the wickets went down!

My money is still on England! But a couple of wickets and it could still swing to NZ.

Good match buddy, thought I had lost for sure after the flyer you got off to.

Cant wait for the 2nd final

1st Final results:

NZ (LeftArmFast) : 138 all out in 20 overs
England (xXFAZZY) : 126 allout in 19.3 overs

NZ won the toss and elected to bat first. They were in a spot of bother as run's were not easy to come by in first 6-7 overs. Then NZ started scoring runs and finding gaps but in the process were losing wickets at regular intervals. Still the rate was good and they made a challenging total of 138 in 20 overs
In reply England had a good start with Vaughan and Strauss looking well set. But quick wickets and great bowling and good field settings helped NZ keep the run rate down and get England all out at 126
It was a great start to the Finale and with 2 more games to go England need to get their mojo back to keep hopes alive in the series. Apologize to the guys who have bet their life savings on me. England will fight back in 2nd finals to keep them in the game

Ha ha! Good comeback my man. I really thought you were out of it! how did you get the wickets to fall?

Looks like "Obreen" was the man of the moment: excellent figures there!

Thanks, it took some creative field placing, a lot of experimenting. I was hammered for the first 10 , experimented between 11-13 and found a good field. Then it was just bowling perfect deliveries and slight variations now and then. It was very evenly matched though and could have gone either way. Id say Fazzy was on top for the first 30 overs of the match and I just got lucky in the last 10.

Good stuff! The next game will obviously be crucial but fazz will have picked up some knowledge of the way you play, but visa versa. He seemed to come out all guns blazing! Good on you for performing so well with the Kiwi's and Taylor had a great knock!

Me and Hmarka, we have some insane battles and tied games together before
I still have no idea what went wrong from my end in that game. I got the best start while batting. It was some great bowling and field placing
I'll have another plan next match so hopefully it works and we have another cracker.
Maybe I am wrong but don't think I have lost 2 in a row against Hmarka so this will be a very crucial game

 

[pcfan123]

Yea I dont think either of us has lost 2 in a row against the other. We are too evenly matched
