Just lost a wicket now,much needed for Pingers.

 

[FreddieFan]

7.6 b4 Broomes to Gilroy
That's not only beaten Gilroy but Alauddin too! Just to rub salt into the wounds it's gone for four.
7.5 4 Broomes to Gilroy
Unorthodox shot to the bouncer, he's waited for it and intentionally lifted it over Alauddin for four. You don't set fields to that shot.
7.4 4 Broomes to Gilroy
That's four all the way

Runs flowing freely at the moment.

End of Over 8: 64-1, runrate=8.00, reqrunrate=3.76 (221-10)
Broomes 4-0-31-1
Mason* 27 (24 balls)
Gilroy 13 (8 balls)

 

[RabbleRouser]

Just got back, desperately need a wicket to have even a hope of a win.

 

[FreddieFan]

13.5 4 Majid to Mason
Forward, smacked over a vacant wide long off boundary, well placed.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

13.5 overs, thats a pretty quick 50. Well played lad.

 

[RabbleRouser]

I need to buy some better bowlers, theyre an absolute joke today. Hopefully Leary can pick up a few if its not already over by then.

15.6 6 Majid to Mason
Going, going, gone.
15.5 1 Majid to Gilroy
Chipped over the slip cordon by Gilroy and down to third man for a single. Majid looks like he's been robbed but it was a controlled shot and relatively safe.
15.4 4 Majid to Gilroy
He finds the gap between cover and extra cover and, with no sweeper to do the fielding, it's four runs.
15.3 1 Majid to Mason
My that was close! Mason looked to cut a short wide ball towards point but gets a thick inside edge and the ball whistled past leg stump. Alauddin has no chance of stopping it and they take a single.
15.2 6 Majid to Mason
A magnificent shot, soaring high above the outfield, destined for six runs!
15.1 1 Majid to Gilroy
Gently played out into the covers.

Oh my...

 

[FreddieFan]

Mason's on fire, outscoring Gilroy comfortably, and that takes something special.

 

[sid_19840]

Unfortunately this game seems to be over already,it'll take a miracle for RR's team now to get out of this.From a personal point I really enjoyed watching it,and Im now eager to see how my team goes on Friday.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

ah my bat is easily safe, and ive amde a few vcash on the match (providing no collapses)

cant wait for the leagues to start, apparently im ranked 2nd in my league, although 1st battered me, and im worse since then (but will be better soon)

 

[RabbleRouser]

Just 8 runs off the last two overs, shame they weren't bowling like this at the start

 

[FreddieFan]

20.6 4 Leary to Gilroy
Sheikh slips when picking the ball up and falls on the rope. Four runs!
And that's his fifty! Well played.

50 for Gilroy.

End of Over 21: 163-1, runrate=7.76, reqrunrate=2.03 (221-10)
Leary 1-0-11-0
Mason* 88 (66 balls)
Gilroy 51 (44 balls)

23.2 1 Broomes to Mason
Mason plays the ball softly into the on side and sets off for a sneaky single.
And that's a century for Mason! Well played indeed Sir!

76 ball hundred for Mason. Top stuff.

End of Over 25: 205-1, runrate=8.20, reqrunrate=0.68 (221-10)
Leary 3-0-30-0
Gilroy* 64 (52 balls)
Mason 112 (83 balls)

Not a bad position at the halfway stage

And that's the end of the match. Old Wulfs won by 9 wickets.
Pakistani Pingers 221-10
Old Wulfs 223-1


End of Over 28: 223-1, runrate=7.96
Broomes 8-0-62-1
Mason* 116 (89 balls)
78 (59 balls)

And it's all over.

Unlucky mate, our teams are much closer than this result suggests, I just got lucky in that 2 of my batsman played superb knocks.

 

[RabbleRouser]

Theres the winner

27.1 4 Broomes to Gilroy
Wide of off, chopped into the gap past point and over the rope for the boundary.

Congratulations, you deserved the win. Fancy selling me Gilroy and Mason?

 

[FreddieFan]

Congratulations, you deserved the win. Fancy selling me Gilroy and Mason?

Sure, as soon as you get about 3 million

 

[RabbleRouser]

Sure, as soon as you get about 3 million

3 million?! I just looked at the transfer market and I could get this guy for that -

2. Al Dhillon ? 3,000,000 (opening price) Plays for: Gazza's Lads BT Rating: 176 Age: 20 years oldDeadline: 25/06/2006 15:54
Stamina:woeful W/Keeping:worthless
Batting:worthless Concentration:worthless
Bowling:abysmal Consistency:worthless
Fielding:worthless

 

[FreddieFan]

Wow, I think this guy's the definition of optimistic.

So, why would you rather have? Him? Or Mason and Gilroy?

EDIT -

Rofl, Fieldwick got man of the match. Ok, he took 4 wickets, but I think 2, maybe even 3 of them were cleaning up the tail and had no significant bearing on the result. Feel sorry for Mason.

 

[RabbleRouser]

Tough one. Mason was absoluely incredible today but Dhillon looks much better.
There was one good thing about the match today, it finished before England kick off
