His seam is 1 level short because he plays a crap bowler in Shipp.

 

[Maxkarter]

You might as well check which line up of his got those ratings, there's no Shipp in there

 

[voldemort]

Shipp doesnt bowl... He is a batsman with good fielding... Leonard, Wheat, Vanat, Schalk and Shana are his bowlers

I hate wheat :

Lost the match... Made 252, Talia and Spiller put 211 for the third wicket, Wheat ripped us apart in the last 10...

Oh the struggles of replacing Masi, might have to try my trainee whose quite a bit weaker than Duggan.

The game has got slightly interesting again. From 163-4 to

44.6 W Fernandes to Greening
A trademark bouncer from Fernandes and Greening can only sky the ball to Branch, who takes a regulation catch.
44.5 W Fernandes to Thay
Short, fast and gone.. Thay defends his face with the the bat spooning up an easy catch for Branch.

End of Over 45: 167-6, runrate=3.71, reqrunrate=3.60 (184-10)
Fernandes 8-1-37-3
Jeffrey* 33 (26 balls)
Phindile 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Greening c. Branch b. Fernandes 0 (FOW: 167/6)

Got a bad feeling Allen will screw me over again though.

Hmmm maybe I'll have to take back what I just said

45.4 W Allen to Downing
A rank long hop is cut by Downing straight down Fernandes's throat at gully. A gift of a wicket for an almost embarassed Allen.
45.3 W Allen to Phindile
Just enough inswing to beat the bat. Allen and Branch go up in tandem as ball hits pad, and the umpire raises a solitary finger.

End of Over 46: 168-8, runrate=3.65, reqrunrate=4.25 (184-10)

And my most famous comeback is complete. From 163-4 to being all out for 178. Great death bowling by Fernades and Allen.

Nice win Syl

This looks like it could be painful. Levy has been utter shite and Rigler and Manders ain't been much better!!!

Welcome to The Enclosure for the match between Livingston Lions and Rooibard XI.

We can tell you that Livingston Lions won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this sunny day.

End of Over 13: 85-0, runrate=6.54

Levy 7-0-46-0

Allers* 32 (35 balls)
Christopher 42 (45 balls)

 

[voldemort]

Defeated Number 1 guy in OD league...

Scored 220/3 off an Uneven pitch thanks to Gledhill and Spiller

They were quick to chase, but constant fall of wickets meant that they ran out of batsmen before they reached the target, 181/10. Suren and Muller initiated the process, Bennie took care of the remaining.

[StickyWicket]

Either I've won or they've salvaged a draw. I can't tell though, because BT is down as usual.

 

[aussie1st]

Pretty impressive batting display.

Sawyer* 11 (7 balls)

Last Wicket: Branch c. Lockwood b. Holloway 121 (FOW: 273/5)

Branch 121, Crouch making his debut at 3 made 101 not so good for Chav at opener.

And in response

Gun performance with the bat so far..hoping they continue like this

 

[Funknath]

And that's the end of the match. Bengal United won by 7 wickets.
india1982 290-5
Bengal United 291-3

An easy win in the end. Allott started off well and Myirha and Akrivelli finished it.

 

[aussie1st]

BB looking to break a 4 game losing streak against the Penguins. In what could be Chav last game for the Baggy Blues, he made 50 before departing to Groves who earlier took the wicket of Moodley who made a solid 36 of 52. The replacement opener for Masi is still proving a problem with Sawyer the latest failure.

Currently

End of Over 32: 150-3, runrate=4.69
Muller 6-0-32-0
Crouch* 43 (41 balls)
Branch 15 (21 balls)
Last Wicket: Chavhanga lbw b. Groves 50 (FOW: 92/3)

Crouch is hogging the strike big time, he came in after Branch but hes faced double the amount of balls!
