Mine is very low about 64 kbps. Will increase it next month . Hopefully you all will still be playing then . And yes I was enjoying bowling with Ishant sharma. Planned not to open with Pathan this time,as he was expensive last match.

re Oxtar v Ricco

Hiya M8
I was Oxtar you played against and yes it was an exciting game. I thought you were gonna cruise it too but thought Ill just plug away line and length and position my field correctly. Certainly was a cool game and look forward to the rematch sometime
cheers
Sententia (ign Oxtar)

Just played a cracking game online against someone called Oxtar (not sure of spelling). Sorry that i don't have screenshots. Anyway He was playing as SAF and myself AUS. 20 over game MCG. He batted first and after being 81 for 0 off 6 overs( i thought he would end up 240+) I dragged it back and bowled him out for 134 off 14 overs.

In my innings I had such a solid start with Watson first out for a quick fire 30 odd followed by Warner for 40 odd. Anyway I was cruising around 100 for 2 with 2 'in' batsmen of Ponting and Hussey only needing around 4.5 an over. Thinking to myself this is a well paced chase. However I lost ponting run out for 40 odd with a direct hit from mid off then M.Hussey was out to to a cracking ball that straightened and was caught behind. Clarke came in to bat with a timid rating (after being hit all around the park when bowling) and he soon followed as he couldn't get the ball off the square and I then panicked losing a glut of wickets with some suicide running.

Anyway it went Down to last over -I needed 8 runs with 2 wickets left.
- first 2 balls dots - straight to fielders I think.
- Then I got run out the next so 8 runs off 3 balls with one wicket left.
- next ball a single - 7 runs of 2balls and boundaries needed
- Then next ball....wait for it...... he bowled a no-ball!! Which I dispatched to the boundary for 4 and at which point I nearly fell of my chair laughing!!:laugh Thinking free hit next up...game won..
-Free hit bowled - I edged into my pads :doh so last ball 2 needed to win one to draw....
- Last ball was yorker and I didn't time(damm tailenders) and it went behind to keeper.. I went for the run hoping the keeper would miss the direct hit but unfortunately Boucher managed to hit the stumps and the game was over and I lost by 1 run :crying .....

I managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on the search for my 1st online win..
Epic game though I loved the way it swayed from one team to the other.. although I should of cruised to a win, it amazing once you lose a few set batsmen what a change it makes, and once I lost wickets I really panicked - still really enjoyed it - well played Oxtar.

[xvalerianx]

Just played Ricco, good game with no lag.

Its amazing what you can do to a batting side simply by building up pressure. I bowled really well, and Ricco struggled to get me away and in the end run outs stopped him from finishing his innings.

With a total so low i could afford to take a few risks, i got dropped twice i think in chasing down the target.

Dude I am surprised you were able to play at all on that connection. 384kb is almost barbaric compared to todays standards.
