[sid_19840]

Won a game today after about a run of 12-13 losses.Decided not to watch the game today and it worked.

 

[Bilal91]

My team made 378 and got them out on 51...Lucas again in the act making 127 and Harun taking 7 wickets...

 

[embi]

My bowlers have done pretty well. Hignett was uneconomical, he's never really fired for me. I might have to get a new pace bowler
But they were all out for 109, Ifill and Bishop taking 5 wickets each for their second ever 5-fors. Wood was economical at 2 an over, Long managed 2.8, but Bishop was 5/24 off 9 overs, and Ifill 5/16 off 9 overs, a damn good performance for a spinner on a green pitch!!
Expecting some fireworks in the batting order today.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

W Lester to Roberton

1.6 W Crouch to Barry
That was a textbook shot by Barry... sadly the textbook in question was 'Cricket for Beginners'... so that's OUT!
1.5 W Crouch to Geel
That's gone! Geel launched himself at it, but only succeeded in picking out the fielder in the deep.
1.4 . Crouch to Geel
Good length ball just outside off stump, steers it away straight to backward point.
1.3 . Crouch to Geel
Bit of lift, over the stumps, bat withdrawn.
1.2 W Crouch to Standing
Tried to smash that through the cover area, but Rudi was perfectly positioned and takes the catch at chest height.
1.1 W Crouch to Green
Forward, the ball beats the bat, and middle and leg stump are out of the ground.

End of Over 2: 4-4, runrate=2.00
Crouch 1-1-0-4

And then he gets his fifer

3.1 W Crouch to Midson
Midson has come right up the pitch to that one and missed completely, an easy stumping for Rheams!

5 wickets in 7 balls.
Legend

He has 7 now!!

5.5 W Crouch to Allsopp
Crouch, Rheams and Gallagher appeal till their faces go purple! Slowly but surely, the finger goes up.
5.6 W Crouch to Tzaneen
Got him! Driven strongly down the ground by Tzaneen, but plucked from the air by Crouch as he followed through after his delivery stride. Wonderful reflexes!

Crouch 3-1-12-7
Edwards* 10 (5 balls)

10 bucks says they get this done by the 7th over...

That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it, super shot that, six runs to Crouch.

5.1 4 Bambatha to Rudi
Charges the delivery, unleashes a square drive, ball goes straight through Allsopp at deep backward point.

And that's the end of the match. TT Lions won by 10 wickets.
Sturm Freistadt 29-10
TT Lions 31-0

I'm bored of boasting bout Crouchy. What's up with your games?

 

[ste_mc_efc]

i got them all out for 217, not bad since i was "resting" a proficient spinner (well, i forgot to bowl him) dusty pitch aswell

 

[zainawan89]

Great old crouch

 

[borncricketer]

Welcome to Cricketers National Ground for the match between Borncricketers XI and TT Lions.

We can tell you that Borncricketers XI won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this sunny day.

End of Over 4: 6-0, runrate=1.50
Alshaun 2-1-1-0
Cox* 2 (15 balls)
Whing 4 (9 balls)

Can someone call Cox an ambulance! He's going to be a broken man after that. Gone.

Alshaun 3-1-3-1
Whing* 5 (13 balls)
Rudi 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Cox b. Alshaun 4 (FOW: 9/1)

[Adarsh]

We're entering a very interesting climax to the game between me and Pak_Cricketer.

End of Over 42: 220-2, runrate=5.24, reqrunrate=10.75 (305-4) Mcdonald 9-0-36-1
Shahbaz* 111 (123 balls)
Lister 2 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Shorey b. Mcdonald 103 (FOW: 212/2)

My bowlers are set to defensive, as I knew I'd be having a big total and his batsmen are dangerous. So far, it's working. Hopefully they don't leak runs in the last few overs.

*****************************************************
Update: Only 23 runs in the last 4 overs. Brilliant. I'm a great manager!

End of Over 46: 243-2, runrate=5.28, reqrunrate=15.75 (305-4)
Barker 8-0-40-1
Lister* 15 (15 balls)
Shahbaz 120 (134 balls)

Last Wicket: Shorey b. Mcdonald 103 (FOW: 212/2)

The game's as good as won, I believe.

EDIT:


i need 99 to win, should walk it easily



EDIT:

End of Over 12: 67-1, runrate=5.58, reqrunrate=0.84 (98-10)
Salisbury 1-0-2-1
Anthony* 31 (41 balls)
Rhodes 1 (3 balls)

I slaughtered Sid

Challengers XI	Sid's Bashers
Top Order:	mediocre	woeful
Middle Order:	feeble	woeful
Lower Order:	woeful	worthless
Seam Bowling:	feeble	woeful
Spin Bowling:	mediocre	woeful
Fielding:	woeful	woeful

As of late, I've been noticing that Hignett hasn't been very good as an opening bowler (economy of nearly 6) which is strange with his fairly decent stats. So as an experiment I put him as defensive and 5th bowler. It worked, he took 3/1 , 5 overs, 4 maidens and 3 wickets Admittedly he was bowling at Sids lower order but still...

All the bowlers did well (bowled sid for 92) so I've put their stats here:

Wood	5	2	16	1	0	0
Long	10	0	30	0	1	2
Bishop	8.3	2	13	4	0	0
Ifill	8	3	17	2	0	0
Hignett	5	4	1	3	0	0

Sadly Sids bowling wasn't up to scratch, and it became another race between Lungile and Kekeletso, which Lungile won with 57 off 42, unusual since he is the more defensive of the two.

Anyway, I should stop boasting about this game. Well played Sid, at least the home crowd got something to see
Look forward to your revenge in next game.

 

[sid_19840]
