I guess. I have a good record chasing certainly, but a team that outclassed me so completely in the raings should beat me either way. A batter friendly pitch, some fairly economical bowling, 2 great innings and a lot of luck saw me through.
I TIEd today in preperations for Briggs, and rested Rudi, Cutler, Abdeen and Eli and played Atkinson, Shipp, Dennis and Williams in their place.
Got 162 a/o as a result, 50 exact for Crouch, 29 for Dennis.
But no fear. Bowled them out for 76 in return, Tuckett 4/16, Folkes 3/13, Crouch 2/6.
MOTM was a player from the losing team for a change, 17 year old seamer Nhleko who bowled well against me last time too, and took 5/17 today.

Far from a full house of 42200, but ?278,780 in gate reciepts nonetheless. I think I could touch 300K in receipts if it is a full house.
Kutta won the toss so this should be interesting seeing if I can defend a total.
Good start so far.

hahah yea it has for everyone else, it works if u watch it in multiview tho
Kinda of kills it without the commentary, will have to post the good bits when it catches up.
Good to see these two have maintained a 6 an over run rate. 2 more wicket before the big hitters come hopefully they don't get wasted like last time against Angry.
