Dam that Hitish needed to defend 9 runs off the final over and he concedes it with 2 balls to spare.

Won the toss and sent them in. Was looking good until I logged in and Chambers conceded 12.

End of Over 17: 70-1, runrate=4.12
Chambers 4-1-17-1
Khulelaphi* 33 (49 balls)
Koumas 5 (21 balls)
Last Wicket: Dave c. Sawyer b. Chambers 28 (FOW: 45/1)

Rolled them for 163, my medium pacers (Chambers and Allen) with 3 a piece. Opening with Crouch hasn't paid off at all and now I've lost my big 3 before the spinner has even come on.

End of Over 8: 23-3, runrate=2.88, reqrunrate=3.36 (163-10)
Butler 4-1-13-2

Will be an easy chase for me.

 

[Highlander999]

Causing an upset here by looking like I'm gonna beat the unbeaten top team in my league

A match saving partnership between my trainee and the legendary keeper-batsman which is Hollis

That was one of my best tactical victories to date. Full credit to Justin, if it wasn't for his advice, I doubt I would have got through his top order

[aussie1st]

And my cup run is over. Batting first against the good teams seems to be the way to go, I won last week and now he won. My except+ 3-6 didn't do enough chasing 274 which in the end left me being bowled for 123.
