The BLIC 07 Online 'I Fancy A Game Now Thread'

[Simbazz]

Dan, I've gotta go in 10 mins, so can we cut the updates and play quick? Thanks

 

[King Pietersen]

Finally. Knew I wouldn't let you off for too much longer. Vettori gets Yuvraj at last. Now time for Dravid to get out as well.

King Pietersen added 10 Minutes and 52 Seconds later...

Great game that one. The New Zealand spinners made the difference. Vettori taking 3-52 and Patel 2-25. Franklin also chipped in with 3-44. Highest scoring Indian batter was Dravid with 65 and apart from Tendulkars 36 it was New Zealand's game. End result, New Zealand win by 56 runs.

Can't believe I lost. At one point it didn't look like I could. I'll be around at points inthe week

 

[Simbazz]

Looks like its another game between myself and Dan.

England (me) Vs. Australia (Dan)

The toss was won by Dan, and he had a bat first. Should be interesting. Not sure whether Dan will update here. So I'll post back at the halfway point when he's 10 all out

 

[King Pietersen]

So much for 10 all out hey Si I started well, Ponting got off to a flyer, then lost wickets, then came a period of consolidation, not hitting a shot in anger. Clarke made 96 before being caught behind followed by Watson who brought up his hundred with a single through 3rd man in the final over. Score ended at 274 (I think).

Si then started OK, but lost continual wickets, with Pietersen going for 74 being the big wicket. In the end Hogg took a classy 5fer finishing with the wicket of Dalrymple (iirc). Another easy victory, think I need to find someone better to play

 

[Simbazz]

Dan, give me a time when you're free tonight and I'll kick your ass You were Australia after all.

 

[King Pietersen]

Haha, fair enough. I'm about after half 6 again, so just let us know when you want another thrashing

I was Australia, so I suppose I was going to win, Hayden wasn't in the squad either, which just upped my chances of winning . I was constantly being distracted by my 12 year old cousin as well though, asking me pointless questions that were completely obvious. Everytime I hit you for Six he was shouting "Homerun" as well Probably the best I've played though tbh, I didn't try and slog my way out of trouble when Clarke and Watson came together, was an immense partnership between them 2, annoyed that I didn't get to 100 with Clarke.

So yeh, half 6ish tonight?

 

[Simbazz]

Unfortunately, and trust me i'd rather be gaming with you, i've been forced into taking the missus out for a meal at a local restaurant. You around about 9.30pm tonight?

 

[King Pietersen]

Ah that's fair enough matey. I was just about to say I won't be able to make it online anyway, remembered the World Darts Championship Quarter Finals are on tonight, so will be watching that. We'll definitely have to have a few games tommorow (Y).

 

[Simbazz]

Sure thing man, i'm probably on all tomorrow

[King Pietersen]

Time for another game between me and Si. I'm New Zealand with Si playing as Australia. Should be a good game.

Almost a maiden for Lee's first over, so disappointing, 2 dropped catches by Church.
