Better hope the pitch turns into a minefield. Defenitely defendable but from what I've seen from the sim so far it will be hard to contain them.

11.1 Abhas Gupta to 07harrisb, I'd like to complement the gentleman in Seat 24 Row A for being so sharply dressed in that Armani Suit. Especially in this heat. Great show...huh? What's that? Oh right, the batsmen took a single, I think. (1)
11.2 Abhas Gupta to Viv Richards, 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)
11.3 Abhas Gupta to Viv Richards, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single. (1)
11.4 Abhas Gupta to 07harrisb, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one. (1)
11.5 Abhas Gupta to Viv Richards, Reverse sweep! Cheeky. Only one run though. (1)
11.6 Abhas Gupta to 07harrisb, Short ball, cut away for a run. (1)

12.1 treva to 07harrisb, I'd like to thank the lady in Seat 27 Row D for the fabulous cake she's sent us! Triple Chocolate Fudge with Mint, my favourite! Oh, and no run. (0)
12.2 treva to 07harrisb, He didn't middle that, but there is enough power on it to get the batsmen three. (3)
12.3 treva to Viv Richards, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one. (1)
12.4 treva to 07harrisb, , No Ball. Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though. (1)
12.4 treva to Viv Richards, And the camera pans to show a hot chick in Row C. Rumours have it that she is either Shalins'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)
12.5 treva to Viv Richards, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single! (1)

14.3 Bob Massie to 07harrisb, ......what? Why are you looking at me like that? Oh right! The commentary! Umm...looks like that was a dot ball! No run. Now leave me alone. (0)
14.4 Bob Massie to 07harrisb, The batsman lines up a big slog over cow corner, but inside edges it past the stumps and keeper for four! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion. (4)
14.5 Bob Massie to 07harrisb, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to a single. (1)
14.6 Bob Massie to Viv Richards, 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)

15.3 treva to 07harrisb, The batsman looks surprised that that ball wasn't called a wide. The bowler's grinning as he makes his way back to his mark. (0)

15.5 treva to Viv Richards, Good running, two runs. (2)

I take my statement back.
What superbbbbbbbb bowling guys! Trev finally got his 4 overs!
I think Vince Van Der Wan Bijl might be the bargain of this tournament as of yet...
Go Victors!

Actually it's the second time I have bowled 4 overs. I seriously think I'm a contender for most economical non-Nat this season. I always go for around 5-6 runs an over.
Great win guys. Brilliant final over from the Devster.

Ahhh farking hell. How did we lose this? Only 142 to win, I thought we bowled quite well.
I knew batting on a green against Dev and Biji would be tricky, but we really should have managed that, really.
Probably just a bad day really. Would have chased that down on most occasions, but somehow our batting didn't fire today.
We still have 7 wins in 9 games, but we need to win our next few game to stay in first place. Or more importantly, we have to beat BB and wait for them to lose a few more games. I mean, God knows how they're winning everything, they aren't even one of the strongest teams here. The strongest team is currently actually in 7th place...
