My cup run will also be over today

End of Over 35: 119-4, runrate=3.40
Hawkins 6-0-23-1
Bishop* 1 (1 balls)
Stock 57 (90 balls)

Last Wicket: Everard b. Hawkins 23 (FOW: 118/4)

Both the match savers of last game got dismissed cheaply. And all I wish now is, survive for 50 overs. Anyways, lets see.

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.

You let one of their batsman score a century..other than him only one guy got to his 50...if you could have restricted him from scoring a century you could have got win in your name.

Owens 50 (57 balls)

Last Wicket: Lyttle b. Penn 12 (FOW: 46/4)

They went down 2/2 & then 46/4 in chase of our low score - 178. Sad that we didn't utilize the start which opening bowlers gave us.

Well, am atleast happy that HT didn't let the game go away for granted. Anyways, loosing is loosing whatever way we loose.

unlucky...

Welcome to Frosty Gardens for the match between St. Johns Penguins CC and Raiders Eleven.

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

0.1 W Nieuwenhuis to Afnan-ul-haq
Brilliantly taken at leg gully by Bennie. Nieuwenhuis runs to his team mate and gives him a big hug, he is really happy with that wicket. I'd suggest a fair bit of planning has gone into field placings for Afnan-ul-haq today.

Nice start WC...

Justin, WC has a more stronger team than you!

That was a PAN, PFL and form don't help much either.

Nice start for us

That was a PAN, PFL and form don't help much either.

Raiders Eleven Failing Hazards
Top Order: sensational proficient
Middle Order: exceptional woeful
Lower Order: abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: exquisite competent
Spin Bowling: remarkable mediocre
Fielding: feeble feeble

And this is WC's BT Stats while he is on PAN.

 

[Maxkarter]

It's only top order where he's stronger, seam is a rating or two short because of form and PFL.
