An record breaking run chase and a big win this afternoon.

Ducks XI broke the record for a powerplay total (73/0) then broke the record for total ... total (214/5); that included a 50 from 17 balls from Shubman Gill. However, some rather lax bowling and some great batting from Short Leg XI kept their qualifying hopes alive. A masterclass from Glenn Maxwell (61 from 26) saw them home with six balls to spare. Ducks XI are left alone on 0 points, while Short Leg XI join three others teams on 6 points. It means Trump's Fringe cannot be caught and have won Group A.

The four teams on 6 points all play each other. So one of the winners will automatically qualify, the other will probably be hoping to get enough points to seed in 7th or 8th.

Gilly's Grubs could've gone top 12 points with a win but they chose to bat first on a green deck and it did not work well. Two quick wickets from Starc and Philander and in the middle overs Narine, Gayle and Labuschange picked up another five. Despite 6 no balls from Kieron Pollard he did at least take two wickets. Labuschagne must've had a talking to between matches. After the slowest 50 of the tournament last round he picked it with 50 from 35 before ALMOST reaching three figures. A boundary to win it took him to 99 not out from 60 balls. A big win for Fire In Babylon means there FOUR teams on 9 points going into the last matches. All four of those team player one of the others, so it's winner goes though. It's gonna be interesting!

Sunil Narine is now level with Jasprit Bumrah on 9 wickets.

This evening. San Francisco Suckers v Twelve Fine Legs. TFL need to win to stay in with a chance of the quarter finals.

Updated the schedule.

• Sorted out the ranking - the tie breaker RPW should be working.
• Knockout sheet has 5th place play off and bronze medal match.
• Seedings show where you are placing currently - and destination after the groups.
• Quarter finals showing (based on current positions/seedings) - of course these will change. QFs will be home advantage to the top seeded sides.

All round poor performance from the boys, unfortunately our first loss of the tournament. Bowling was poor as usual, Kuldeep failed again after getting another chance, openers continued their poor form with the bat and Morne Morkel was our 2nd highest scorer at No.10. Thank heavens for Hafeez saving a bit of grace! Congrats @Mouseydread your boys completely outplayed us. Time for the lads to get a hounding at training, could be a few change ups in our final group stage match at the WACA on a heavily deteriorated pitch by the looks of it.

My team's bowling is shithouse lol. Cost us pretty much every game we've lost lol. Probably averaged 200+ all tournament and still find ways to lose lol.

My range of emotions that second innings lol:
1

2

3

wtf Ducks, for a team which I thought had a better bowling unit than batting this is very surprising.

I was terrified of what AB and Warner would do to us but it never happened thank god!

 

[Wavelberry]

I need more runs in my team and all I have to bring back are Pujara and Porterfield...

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Going to start up some Group A about 11am

 

[wasteyouryouth]

A Trump's Fringe that is resting players v Ducks XI that is starting Nathan Lyon for the first time.

After that Isolated XI v Short Leg XI

First game starts in about 10 minutes.

 

[Short Leg Cricket]

A huge match today and it looks like it will come down to Runs per Wicket ratio as there are four sides in Group A all on 6. Hetmyer after his 55 in round 1 has amassed 7 runs in three other games and has been dropped as captain and from the side so his compatriot John Campbell is in for his first game. Root at 6 and Maxi at 5 worked amazingly Maxi with the perfect innings and Carey keeping at 3 will stay. On the bowling front we have decided that Curran for his batting is in ahead of Finn and Kumar returns for Richardson. We need a big win and hopefully we will progress!

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Chasing 200 to win Short Leg XI are currently 19 for 5.

 

[Ed Smith]

Chasing 200 to win Short Leg XI are currently 19 for 5.

That's gone well

 

[wasteyouryouth]

75/7 they have passed the lowest total by Lucky Lockdown Lunatics.

 

[Dutch]

75/7 they have passed the lowest total by Lucky Lockdown Lunatics.

Yes!!!

 

[wasteyouryouth]

I am going to roll straight into the final group match after this.

So about 20 minutes P9 Panthers v Lockdown Losers.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Sam Curran and Bhuvi Kumar get Short Leg up to 152 all out.

Isolated XI into second place, Short Leg XI

A win for Panthers would probably see them go second. A BIG win needed by Lockdown Losers to go second. Short Leg XI into the 9th place or 12 place group.
