Pitch

A good deal of turn on offer for spin bowlers. Also a good track to bat on for those capable of playing spin bowling well.

Lineup rules & guidelines

- No more than two star players per XI.
- A capable wicket-keeper (/) must feature in the XI.
- Try marking 6 bowlers in your XI, so a non-bowler doesn't come on and potentially cost you the match.

@Ali. @Sodium I am not sure who is the captain.. Post the Line up.

 

[IceAgeComing]

Ali. is banned so definitely can't post the lineup

I feel pretty confident about this game: even though I'm not personally playing. Hogg is probably a better choice TBH

Okay, I'm not going to lie but this eleven bothers me. I just can't see how Jha and Latif will do a job for us as a fifth bowler in this format. We need to have either Adams or McKenzie come into the side for Vasudevan, in my opinion.

Looking forward to another win here

The Amigos need 234 to win off 50 overs.​

 

[Aislabie]

That improved markedly towards the end. Now to see if we have enough bowlers to defend it.

 

[greymatter776]

Good bowling from us.Tauqir and Untouchables performed really well for us.

 

[Targaryen]

Bowlers did their job really well. Now it is the job of Amigos batting unit to finish this off....

 

[dancingmongoose]

Was a bit worried for a while there, good to make a total we can bowl at

 

[NaviN GandhI]

Well I think we can chase this out in this pitch... But lets wait and watch.
