So, Melbourne Bitters comprehensively beat England with 7 wickets to spare




ENGLAND 249/8 50.0 overs
MELBOURNE BITTERS 254/3 43.4 overs

Melbourne Bitters won by 7 wickets

Man of the match: Left Hander
 
By far my best performance in my career, and against my home country too!
 
I need a rest anyway, couldnt complete training just before because my legs have completely been wrecked by the recent work load
 
Nice finish to the game. I Hit England's best ODI bowler for six!

LOL... Oh I just noticed, bad luck Left_Hander.

we got roled by the donkeys in our od match :( that cant be good for the history books.... eek!

bad luck leftie, came close!
 
YEAHHHH First scalp for the Bitters :D And it was good ol' Dalrymple :D

And a 32* to boot :D

Good proformance i must say, me and Ben put that one on :D

Cant wait to lift that trophy now :D
 
Hmmm, I'm not having a bad start to my one-day career. Apart from my debut where I was run out on 1 off 2 balls I have since patched things up with 89 (50)*, 46 (48) and 50 (52). With the * being a not out :D, Techinically if the drinks were on the most consistant player then I'd be the one getting the drinks ;)

Also, I noticed cric_craze is in our starting lineup... I thought he got dropped?

hey may have been put in for me, since i was dropped....
You sure were, and anyone who doesn't sign up for South Africa in Brett_Lee's story (Planetcricket takes over ICC) will be dropped too for the next match. I will make up players if I have to, we only have 15 and you can have 18 in the squad.
