21.5 W Farley to Tyler
Out. A top edged pull shot is taken by De wouw diving to his left.
21.4 W Farley to Ansell
Did he find the edge? Scriven certainly thinks so, and the umpire agrees! Ansell will be very disappointed with that, just pushed at a wide one.
21.3 W Farley to Winter
Gone! Farley has bowled Winter with a yorker. To top it off, Winter's broken his bat as he slammed it into the pitch trying to keep that delivery out.
21.2 W Farley to Hotte
It's in the air... And out. Nice clean catch there from De wouw.

That De wouw in his squad used to belong to me, he bought him for a 100k. Wonder how hes going at his new team.

 

[borncricketer]

lol true he was in ur team...well looking at his previous matches De Wouw is doing well in this team

Great win there! Btw, in my match, The_Spin's getting duly hammered so far!


End of Over 13: 90-0, runrate=6.92
Riaan 7-0-50-0
Allardyce* 54 (42 balls)
Hume 31 (37 balls)

Allardyce is in great form. He has an average of 100 odd, that's even without the not outs (he opens every game) in the toughest league in PC.

 

[Adarsh]

Oh crap! I changed the batting order and now my new guy Bhutia who's a worthless bowler is bowling instead of Derek Hoult!!! So far so good, only 8 of 2 overs....

My game against treva is quiet. We both batted pretty well, its supposed to be a green pitch but it says its flat, and at the moment, its playing like a flat. 267-5 made by Treva - my bowlers aren't that bad on a green pitch. 106/1 atm.

End of Over 22: 112-2, runrate=5.09, reqrunrate=7.43 (319-3)
Mcdonald 1-0-2-1
Chinthaka* 47 (60 balls)
Chuguel 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Duncum b. Mcdonald 27 (FOW: 111/2)


Not going well, should lose this one. Hopefully Chinthaka can get a big knock

2.2 6 Rudi to Sparrow
A pre-empted slog, and it has paid off, the ball just cleared the rope.

I was getting really happy when that happend

4.1 W Rudi to Sparrow
That's magnificent Rudi has caught and bowled Sparrow

Then that happened, not happy about the early wicket, especially against Zorax he could really capatilise.

End of Over 6: 25-1, runrate=4.17
Whing 3-0-12-0
Gore* 7 (8 balls)
Spiller 4 (10 balls)
Last Wicket: Sparrow c & b. Rudi 13 (FOW: 15/1)

Just need to keep on trooping from there, any total above 200+ I'll be happy with, 250+ I'll be delighted.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

These two are killing me here. Folkes 5 overs for 35...

End of Over 20: 105-2, runrate=5.25
Atkinson 5-1-24-0
Furlong* 34 (36 balls)
Gore 43 (49 balls)

Last Wicket: Spiller b. Rudi 13 (FOW: 36/2)

Crouch in now...

 

[Maxkarter]

24.4 2 Crouch to Gore
Edged ... through second slip and the batsmen return for the second. The bowler is not too happy with the fielder's effort there.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

29.1 3 Whing to Furlong
Whing has dropped the ball a bit short there. Furlong has all the time in the world, and hoicks it down to cow corner. Not brilliantly timed though, and they'll have to run them. One, two,... better be quick... THREE!
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Two good innings, pity Crouch slowed it all down in the middle, really set me back.

End of Over 42: 167-6, runrate=3.98
Crouch 6-0-12-1
Huis* 1 (2 balls)
Samuel 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Boyd b. Crouch 6 (FOW: 167/6)

Last two overs lost 3 wickets, so that really skewed my chances of setting a good total, and the fact that Coruch bowled really tightly for Zorax.......

 

[embi]

I won my meaningless game against Treva, it was a green pitch in the end, bowlers werent too good - a "mediocre" (in reporter ratings) spinner versus feeble and woeful batting resulted in 0/63 Even defensive!
Wood was nice and economical, taking 1/31.

Batsmen did impress, although Lungile managed 1 off 2 balls, but then a fantastic 209 run partnership with Kekeletso getting his second friendly century (116 off 105, not bad against a feeble seam attack on a green pitch) and Edwards, who hasn't really been on form this season, making his highest friendly score of 116.
Banda Bocks, my 17 batting trainee supposedly in decent form after a stupidly brilliant 102 not out whilst noone else in the team got past 30, got a golden duck! happy days. Maybe he'll console me with a concentration pop tomorrow.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

3.6 4 Barnard to Whing
FOUR! Good length ball outside off stump. Whing slashes at it and gets a thick edge between the keeper and third slip.
3.5 4 Barnard to Whing
Superb hook shot by Whing, and Samuel desperately dives to try and stop it crossing the rope, but all he manages to do is knock it up a drain pipe; a few minutes later he manages to fish it out and the match can continue.

End of Over 4: 20-0, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=3.65 (187-10)
Barnard 2-0-11-0
Cox* 2 (13 balls)
Whing 14 (11 balls)

Nice start to the runchase.

16.1 6 Singh to Whing
Whing, keen to get down the boozer, dispatches that one with an almightly thwack! Mine's a pint, big man!

Singh to Whingh, hehe...just read that aloud...

16.5 W Singh to Cox
Edged! And taken by a tumbling Gore!

:

End of Over 17: 101-1, runrate=5.94, reqrunrate=2.64 (187-10)
Singh 4-0-33-1
Whing* 41 (45 balls)
Spearitt 2 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Cox c. Gore b. Singh 47 (FOW: 99/1)

Should win from here.
Honestly though, I was expecting more from Max's bowling...

 

[Maxkarter]

So was I, seems lowish PF is getting the worse of them Ah well, always next time.
