Story (09)AOTF vs. Bladescape, NZ style

[MaD]

Hold on, hows this work? Are you two versing each other online or is playing individually?

 

[age of the fall]

We both play seperate games as NZ and compare results, to see who can lead the team better.

 

[MaD]

aah, I see, nice going

 

[Chewie]

I remember I lost to Scotland in one of my saves >< But I beat SA so all was good in the end. The real test of your two captaincies will come against South Africa. Best of luck

Neither of us would use the editor, this is just for fun, no need to cheat.

@Chewie. Scotland beat South Africa in my game, so I might be in trouble for the match against SA

Comments:
Ryder again.
Him and Styris were the only one's above 10,while nearly everyone else got 9,8 or 7.

For SAfrica,they were slow on the uptake,but they runrate was starting to skyrocket.
Ontong and Albie Morkel were in when Elliott started his second over by removing Albie,then the last two balls removed Ontong and then Botha for a golden duck,Leaving them stranded for just long enough,even 5 fours of the last 5 balls to Morne Morkel couldn't quite boost them enough.
What a thriller!!!
Special not to Ryder who bowled the 17th and 19th overs and ended with figures of 2-0-8-0!

Next up is the super 8.
My group is:
Ireland
England
Sri Lanka.
First up is Ireland,over to you Age!

Result: SA win by 6 wickets

Reaction:Disappointed in this loss. tbh, the match was mine for most of the game. I probaby should have upped the aggression of my batmen earlier then I did conidering I had wickets in hand, that would have led too a bigger score but I thought 157 was going to be enough. How was brilliant in his knock, only taking 56 balls to get his 77. Ryder was slower but still good. His 51 took 49 balls. There were no real failures in this match. Fulton hit 13 off 7 balls and Taylor and McCullum were not in long enough to really contribute.

Bowling was classy at the start but very poor at the end. Franklin was classy like last game but nobody else stood up. The match looked to be ours until the 13th over, where every over went for 10+ except one. Poor bowling from Bond( 23 runs off 2 overs) and Ryder (15 runs off one) left us reeling and SA took the win.

Luckily I made the top 8 by net run rate. My Group is Netherlands, NZ, Australia and India. Very tough. First up is the Netherlands.

Good win BS although you gotta learn to present like aotf

 

[TheGreemSim]

[riz7khan12]

[bladescape]

2-1 to me,or is it 1-0?

I can't remember if the score just counts wins or just counts times you got a better result...

bladescape added 3 Minutes and 27 Seconds later...

Good win BS although you gotta learn to present like aotf
