End of Over 40: 227-3, runrate=5.68, reqrunrate=9.20 (318-2)
Leighton 10-0-53-1
Stamp* 12 (21 balls)
Hildred 96 (106 balls)

Hmm. 92 runs to win from the last ten overs. I got 83 from mine. Still possible though, can't rule out anything.

40.2 4 Scholes to Hildred
Beautiful cover drive races to the fence. That's four runs for Hildred. You won't see a better shot today.
And that's a century for Hildred! Well played indeed Sir!

Bleh..

 

[zainawan89]

Required Runrate over 9. Still over 90 runs are required in last 10 overs. If they win from here it will be no less than miracle

 

[Adarsh]

Well, they are maintaining the Rrunrate. This could go down to the last over.

Update:

End of Over 15: 76-0, runrate=5.07
Andrews 1-0-2-0
Mahmood* 33 (44 balls)
Sikander 35 (50 balls)

Good work done by my openers so far. Looking for 250 atleast

Well, they are maintaining the Rrunrate. This could go down to the last over.

Yeah 19 runs from last 2 overs. It might be a close finish

 

[Adarsh]

At last!

44.6 W Scholes to Hildred
Well, that's straight up in the air! The fielders are converging but Leighton has waved them all off - and it's caught! Very well taken!

 

[zainawan89]

Now it looks in ur hands. But may be .........

End of Over 46: 278-4, runrate=6.04, reqrunrate=10.25 (318-2)
Barker 8-0-50-0
Iftikhar* 5 (3 balls)
Stamp 32 (37 balls)

Very close game, this. 41 off 4 overs is not very improbable.

46.3 W Scholes to Iftikhar
Superb catch behind by Burnip

Woot!

36 needed of 3 overs!

Bloody Hell!! Whatever happened !!!

47.4 W Barker to Oneil
Anyone would think he doesn't feel like batting today, pathetic effort from Oneil off what was an average delivery. That won't matter to Barker though, a wicket's a wicket.

47.3 W Barker to Browne
As the batsman's outstretched bat tries to reach the line, the clatter of the bails signals he is dismissed.

47.2 W Barker to Henman
Henman steps to square leg , closes his eyes and swings the bat . Total village!!

47.1 W Barker to Mcdonagh
Oh dear! That?s a schoolboy error by Mcdonagh, playing away from his body at a wide one.

 

[zainawan89]

Waht is happening this is unbelivable. No one can stop i now from wining :happy

Update
End of Over 20: 98-0, runrate=4.90
Tuckett 5-1-20-0
Mahmood* 41 (58 balls)
Sikander 40 (69 balls)

A bit slow but still no loss

 

[Adarsh]

And that's the end of the match. Cricket Geniuses won by 24 runs.

[Adarsh]

Cheers!

23.4 W Bunn to Sikander
Oh my! Sikander has lost his furniture! Clean gone.

Unlucky 49(72)

Barker MOTM. I think it should have been Humes. Ratings are pretty much same. Well a great semifinal. Wish Falcons had accepted the challange

Congratulations! I hope you beat the Bushwackers, they beat me in the group stage. :

On my match so far:

End of Over 46: 221-8, runrate=4.80
Leonard 8-0-43-2
Naysmith* 0 (1 balls)
Jamil 4 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Tamton b. Leonard 0 (FOW: 220/8)

Don't get too excited, I'm carrying a severly depleted side. 2 spinners on a green track, Leonard is hardly a regular, and Binn is making his debut. Bunn is also making his debut -as a bowler. Also, a few experimental batting orders including Rudi at 3! No Delop, Dunn or Crouch.

Also, well done Adarsh! I knew you could do it! It seems like I am the only team here who has the Management skills to put up a real fight against you...

17.6 . West to Heath
Heath batting that like a doughnut, all edges and no middle, edged the shot, but luckily well short of Skelton.

Great line

End of Over 18: 94-0, runrate=5.22, reqrunrate=4.59 (240-9)
West 4-1-20-0
Griffin* 35 (59 balls)
Heath 56 (51 balls)

Going well for me. Experimenting with Griffin as an opener, as he has so much potential as an all-rounder and putting Fieldwick up the order produced excellent results.
