Looks like this will be an easy victory for suren.


And #4 for Dangasela....

46.6 W Dangasela to Ahmed 
    Out!!! Ahmed was struck right in front of all three. If he was fixing a leaky pipe he couldn't have been plumber!

 

[surendar]

lol, they have started their bowling with a spinner

End of Over 1: 7-0, runrate=7.00, reqrunrate=2.96 (151-10)
Bhutia 1-0-7-0
Bartlett* 3 (4 balls)

[aussie1st]

Hope I can keep him to 0 wickets for our match

I've opened with a spinner before Suren

 

[surendar]

You have chased many 250+ targets Kutta And Syl, its the first time i noticed a spinner opening the bowling that too in a green track

Well, in my match, a good opening stand,

End of Over 15: 87-0, runrate=5.80, reqrunrate=1.86 (151-10)
Ahmed 1-0-6-0

Bartlett* 44 (50 balls)
Folds 36 (40 balls)

And a good fifty from Bartlett,

16.2 3 Ahmed to Bartlett
Crisply hit down the ground - a lovely shot, really effortless, although unfortunately for Bartlett it didn't go for four.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Folds is on his way to fifty too

End of Over 17: 102-0, runrate=6.00, reqrunrate=1.52 (151-10)
Ahmed 2-0-14-0
Folds* 45 (45 balls)
Bartlett 50 (57 balls)

 

[aussie1st]

Going to be a crushing victory for your team Suren.

 

[surendar]

And Folds reaches his fifty too in style,

18.4 4 Ahmed to Folds
Highly unorthodox and highly effective. Folds just carved that over point with no foot movement at all.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

At the end of 20 Overs,

End of Over 20: 117-0, runrate=5.85, reqrunrate=1.17 (151-10)
Abdul kadir 5-0-21-0

Bartlett* 57 (64 balls)
Folds 52 (57 balls)

 

[aussie1st]

Very nice, is Folds a new guy as I don't remember seeing his name before.

Very nice, is Folds a new guy as I don't remember seeing his name before.

Bought him in first week of March as a backup keeper.

Infact u have also commented there,

Alright buy, will do ok as backup.

Well, brilliant innings from Folds came to end,

22.4 	W	Ahmed to Folds
 	 	[B][COLOR=Red]Plumb in front of middle peg. Folds has to walk.[/COLOR][/B]

Not too far from the target though.. just few more to go

End of Over 25: 139-1, runrate=5.56, reqrunrate=0.52 (151-10)
Ahmed 6-0-38-1

Last Wicket: Folds lbw b. Ahmed 53 (FOW: 124/1)

 

[aussie1st]

Oh I see so would be his first game for you then

Shame about the loss of Folds.

 

[surendar]

Winning runs in style with a four...

27.1 [B]	4	[/B]Tau to Malik
 	 	A lusty cover drive finds a gap in the field and races to the boundary.

So thats it, Hunting Tigers Win by 9 Wickets :happy

And that's the end of the match. HuntingTigers won by 9 wickets.

neha 151-10
HuntingTigers 155-1

Bartlett* 71 (87 balls)
Malik 16 (18 balls)

Also i see, the team I played now is a new team.. not even 10 days,

21/03/2007 Ownership of the team changed hands as neha_soni took control and renamed the team neha

 

[aussie1st]

Congrats Suren, the poor noob had no chance against you

 

[surendar]

Thanks And Bolland gets MOTM for his 6 Wickets. Folds also did well with 5 catches, 1 stumping and 50+ Runs.

Superb Batting from Aura!!!

Aura won the toss and decided to bat, on a green pitch, foolish decision? I dont think so...

Duminda was the first to go at 71 (FOW: 116/1)
Naidoo the next at 111 (FOW: 312/2)

Only two wickets fell...

End of Over 50: 384-2, runrate=7.68
Murray* 165 (142 balls)
Wijenayake 27 (21 balls)

Thats the highest score from a Knight...

0.2 W Ilanganage to Chandrakantha
Good length ball just outside off stump which swings in late. Chandrakantha puts his foot across and tries to flick it away but misses and the ball hits his pad right in front. The umpire raises his finger. Out!
1.6 W Poke to Da silva
The batting team looks on in disbelief as Polonowita takes an unbelievable catch at cover, diving to his left and catching the ball one handed in mid-air. The fielding team is jubilant.

Two down so far...

End of Over 10: 44-2, runrate=4.40, reqrunrate=8.53 (384-2)

 

[kuttakumar]

My batting 2nd winning streak might come to a dramatic end today....

Ghandi 7-1-21-1 
Rampaul* 1 (2 balls) 
Abdul kadir 8 (9 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Bhutia c. Dures b. Ghandi 66 (FOW: 143/3)

The set batsman Bhutia has just been dismissed.
