When the Falcons were hunting for a spinner, one person stood above the rest. It was Inamullah. This man has gotten 184 wickets and he is only 22. His specialties are his fielding, and his pinch-hitting lower down in the order, and not to forget his deadliest specialty, Spin.

Brad Kilgallon- Allrounder

Matches Played: 63

Bowling Average: 21.19
Brad is a very good player. He is another Right arm Fast bowler in this team. He reaches very high speeds which trouble a lot of the batsmen. Although he has been a little disappointing in the batting department, his bowling has worked fantastically. He was bought by the Falcons for 816k.

Average: 80.83
Catches/Stumpings: 126/11
Shahbaz is the wicketkeeper for the Falcons, and he also opens. He has a very high strike rate. If you are the bowler, you don't want to start your day by bowling to him!

Paul Shorey- Batsman

Matches Played: 59
Runs Scored: 3179
Average: 93.50
Shorey is a class player. He comes one down and he plays sensibly. Recently he has been going at an average of 203.50 with a strike rate of 97.40!!! He is the best batsman the Falcons have to offer this season, and his stats show it all! Watch out, and hope that he keeps it up!

Hey hey! Mine went on for quite a while :
The difficulties I faced were:
1) Lack of intrest at the time
2) You had to personalise the players, make them seem like complex people and make them, y'know, seem realistic to the audience. When you have a sort of relationship established, selling or firing the player then becomes hard.
3) Number of dry days, and the numerous updates needed in quick succession. I think it is going to be very difficult with FC games now coming, too keep the readers updated each day, each session.
But good luck.

that's a bloody good team you've got there mate!

The Falcons vs The Cricwick Legends​

PlanetCricket League Match​

The Falcons won the toss and they decided to bat First. It was a warm day, the sun was out. The Pitch was a tad on the slow side, like you would find at the ZCG (Falcon's Home Ground). Shahbaz and Nisar walked out into the middle and took guard. An aggressive start by Shahbaz got the Falcons moving while his Partner, Nisar was going a bit slower. After a great partnership of 136, Shahbaz took a risky run and found himself short of the crease. The score was 136/1. Shorey than came out and played aggressivly. After a partnership of 81, Nisar played a risky shot which was caught and the Falcons were 2 down for 217. A quick 48 in just 38 balls, came from Lister, as he was also run-out. Shorey was unbeaten on 127 adn Kilgallon on The Falcons got themselves to a massive score of 362.

Player of the Innings:

Shorey​

127*​

It was a massive target to chase as the Cricwick Legends openers walked out to the middle. The new ball was held by Tuckett and Mahmood who did not dissapoint. Tuckett took the top order by surprise with his variety. He took 5 wickets and gave away 46 runs. Mahmood took 1 wicket from his 5 overs. Rampaul batted fluently to get to his 70 but that was not enough.

Man of the Innings​

5/46​

MOTM: Shorey​

Coach Delighted with Win​

Zohaib Ahmed told the media today:

I am very happy with the result that we have gotten. Our batsmen made a huge total and that is why we were able to bowl with confidence. Shahbaz and Nisar got us away on a good note and then the experience of Lister and Shorey guided us to safety. Our Bowling was also really good as I was impressed by the pacers. Overall, It was superb!

Nisar Reflected on his first match as Captain.

The team played well. I was happy by my preformance, but I owe the win to Tuckett and Shorey, who played really well. Hope we can win the next game aswell!
