PlanetCricket from WCL 4 - WC 6th Match

[hedger_14]

You can change everything apart from the 2 openers. And they have been bowled out meaning that will be the end of Day 3. Did you want to enforce the follow on?

Rain stopped play before lunch so I declared when the lunch break occured.

The whole second session has been washed out. Fiji are desperately looking for clear skies.

hedger_14 added 0 Minutes and 49 Seconds later...

They end up going back on at 5:54 pm. It's going to need a magical bowling performance to win this in just over half an hour.

Haarithan strikes in his first over. 5/1 1.2 overs in. 5:59 pm.

hedger_14 added 2 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...

Some magic from Jono in his first over who was brought on early now gives Fiji 15 minutes to take 6 wickets. Jono with 2/0 off 1 over and a dropped catch was in it as well. So it will be about 5 overs to take 6 wickets.

hedger_14 added 2 Minutes and 38 Seconds later...

This is so close. 3 more wickets, all from Haarithan has Uganda at 26/7 with probably 2 overs to play with the time at 6:27 pm. How will this match turn out.

 

[Chewie]

Lol 5 wickets for no runs for me

 

[hedger_14]

Jono strikes first ball of the next over to take his 3rd wicket. 26/8 after 8.1 overs.

hedger_14 added 0 Minutes and 53 Seconds later...

Jono strikes again 2 balls later and now this is going to be close. Jono now has 4/2 in the innings off 2.3 overs.

hedger_14 added 1 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

Unbelievable. The players are going off at the umpire after turning down 2 LBW appeals in a row which has cost Fiji the match. The second one sounded like it hit bat pad but the first was plumb. So Uganda finish the final day at 26/9, Fiji going agonizingly close to victory.

 

[Chewie]

7 wickets and 2 runs :laugh

End of Match

Varun Rustagi will also miss the next match but will definately be back for the final FC match against Bermuda.

 

[Chewie]

What's my bowling average for this tournament? 1?

 

[Aussie Team]

that's a good knock. 62 is the best I made so far, and we should have won the game.

 

[CG123]

This rain is really pissing me off, that now gives me another reason to prefer ICC over CC. :laugh

 

[hedger_14]

It really actually only seems to happen a lot in the WL FC tournaments.

 

[CG123]

Does playing in Fiji have a lot to do with it? (Tropical)
Or is it the same conditions no matter what the ground?

 

[hedger_14]

Doesn't matter what the ground is, I think. Like last time I did use an associate nation, I think all but one match ended in a draw in a season due to all the rain. I think playing in January might have something to do with it (Winter in northern hemisphere and I would guess the default setting for associate nations grounds).

 

[riz7khan12]

sad to see us draw, but it doesn't really matter; the bowlers did a great job to even get us that close to victory. hopefully it doesn't rain this much when we play canada.

 

[Imager36]

220* :o Wow is really all I have to say to that. Accurate sim you've got there
