Planetcricket Battrick League Final Thread

[The Spin]

This result could mean one of the biggest underdogs winning the tournament!

 

[FreddieFan]

I would put this in the commentary thread, but everyone's here so here it is.

Anyone seen this before?

10.5 . Otto to Stephens
Dog on the pitch! Play is halted whilst the umpire wrestles the bails out of its mouth.

They aren't really underdogs though. They've got a good team.

 

[vintners]

Never say die Adi. But it is looking good I will admit.

How's my ranking Spin?

 

[Briggsey]

Well, the 2nd string bowlers are on now, not as devestating as the opening pair, or one of them anyway, but now is the time to take the attack to them and put some pressure on them. You have to at least score over 150 to make it respectable!

If you have noticed, nobody bet on them to win the tournament, at the 1/4 final stage they were massive underdogs. I put them around 5/1!

 

[Adarsh]

Yeah. Chikosi seems quite a poor bowler, no offense. He's competant at best. Laird is OK. But winning now seems a long shot.

 

[vintners]

Chikosi is only playing like his 3rd or 4th game. He may be one for the future or not. Laird should not be too wasteful. Pead is my last bowler and can pick up a couple if in the mood. Ryan and Heggett need to win the game for me though.

 

[The Spin]

You have to hand it to Bushwackers, they are playing well

And Briggs v Falcons looks like it will be close too!

Haven't your openers already won it for you? You only need one more wicket and the last 4 won't make more than 50 runs combined.

The last 4 overs have brought 38 runs. Ainsworth is kicking now, once he's over 50 he usually goes on to make 100, same can be said of Hildred as well! His backup bowlers are really poor! Ive been looking at their ratings and one is strong, the other proficient in the bowling department, but they are leaking runs left, right, and center!

 

[FreddieFan]

Hemmings (my spinner) is taking a battering in my match - 3 overs for 30!

 

[vintners]

Game's never over until the last ball is bowled. I won't be counting my chickens yet!!!

 

[Adarsh]

The last 5 overs have brought me 38 runs.
End of Over 15: 87-5, runrate=5.80, reqrunrate=5.34 (273-6)
Chikosi 3-0-27-0
Marsh* 17 (20 balls)
Holme 40 (36 balls)

Chikosi is getting a bit of stick.

 

[Briggsey]

Holme is looking good, but does he have the stamina to stay in there until the end, because one of these two is going to have to be there at the end if you are to win this one!
