Thing is, that the averages don't reason with another Nat in our lineup as of now, when we're playing random pitches. Of course, when it comes to home and away matches, where the pitch will be decided, there will be the real test.

Why it has to be so complicated.
Cricket is simple game between bat and ball.

The final scorecard for first innings was :
Score: 136
Wickets : 9
Overs : 20.0
Vatican Victors have bowled really well to restrict Toronto Tanks to 136 in their 20 overs. The pitch looks quite good for the bowlers and even 136 could be a huge task for the Vatican Victors if the Tanks bowl well. Toronto Tanks' new ball bowlers Imran Khan and Ian Bothan would hold the key for them if they want to win this match. On the other hand, Victors need to get of to a good start which would put the Toronto Tanks bowlers under some pressure.

That was some good bowling guys! Although green pitch favours the quicker bowlers, and TT's new ball attack is all Nat so that might be a problem... We'll see how things pan out.
Kshitiz_Indian added 9 Minutes and 59 Seconds later...
Hey can we have the second innings now!

Vatican Victors - 139/5 in 17.2 overs.
Vatican Victors wins the match by 5 wickets
Man of the Match: Kshitiz_Indian
In the end it was some great batting by the two co-owners of the Vatican Victors which guided them to victory. The 89 runs partnership between Kshitiz_Indian and World Champions which included just three boundaries was the key for the Victors. The man of the match award was given to Kshitiz_Indian for a wonderful innings of 58 of 45 balls which included one four and one huge six. With this win Victors open their account for this season, while the Tanks have lost both of their matches.
So thats it from here, hope you have enjoyed some good cricket played between the two sides.

6.3 WestIndian to WORLD CHAMPIONS, The batsman goes down the track and nails it through the offside! Four more! (4)
6.4 WestIndian to WORLD CHAMPIONS, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call. (0)
6.5 WestIndian to WORLD CHAMPIONS, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one. (1)
6.6 WestIndian to Kshitiz_Indian, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close. (0)

7.1 Clarrie Grimmet to WORLD CHAMPIONS, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)
7.2 Clarrie Grimmet to WORLD CHAMPIONS, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there. (2)
7.3 Clarrie Grimmet to WORLD CHAMPIONS, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot. (2)

7.5 Clarrie Grimmet to WORLD CHAMPIONS, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs. (2)

8.2 Brendon Hedger to WORLD CHAMPIONS, Gorgeous square drive, placed perfectly past point. There isn't a lot of power in the shot though, and third man cuts it off while the batsmen run hard for three. (3)
8.3 Brendon Hedger to Kshitiz_Indian, And the camera pans to show a hot chick in Row C. Rumours have it that she is either Zorax's date for the night, or an assasin out to kill him. I guess we'll find out one way or another by tommorrow...oh, right. No run. (0)

Toronto Tanks - 136/9 in 20.0 overs.
Vatican Victors - 139/5 in 17.2 overs.
Vatican Victors wins the match by 5 wickets
Man of the Match: Kshitiz_Indian
In the end it was some great batting by the two co-owners of the Vatican Victors which guided them to victory. The 89 runs partnership between Kshitiz_Indian and World Champions which included just three boundaries was the key for the Victors. The man of the match award was given to Kshitiz_Indian for a wonderful innings of 58 of 45 balls which included one four and one huge six. With this win Victors open their account for this season, while the Tanks have lost both of their matches.
So thats it from here, hope you have enjoyed some good cricket played between the two sides.

Great win guys. Surprised to only bowl 2 overs seeing as I had the best economy rate.
Oh and Kshitiz, your sim's scorecards are tweaked. Why have some bowlers got 3.4 and 3.5 overs next the their name when 20 overs were completed?

Yeah, I've only noticed this recently. I haven't done any testing to find out why that is really, I don't have much time nowadays. I hope that's a bug small enough to pass on!

Brilliant win guys! I wonder why you both didn't want to finish it off yourselves.
Sid just threw his bat at that one. Didn't have a clue what was going on
