Beat Viral's team by 140 runs After scoring 304/4 the bowlers came out all guns blazing. Masilo picking up 5-30, Alshaun getting 2-17, and Ali getting 3-4. Weirdly there were 23000 people watching the game..

Sri Krishna Team Borncricketers XI
Top Order: mediocre respectable
Middle Order: mediocre competent
Lower Order: worthless abysmal
Seam Bowling: competent proficient
Spin Bowling: mediocre strong
Fielding: feeble feeble

MOTM: Masilo

Spin bowling reached Strong with out Tau, Since Ahmed was playing Seam bowling was at proficient instead of strong. Batting was good too

I lost by 5 runs to rickyp's team. I don't stand a chance in this league...

 

[PhilD123]

Really disappointed with my batsmen today. My experiment of pushing Fisher up the order from 4 to 3 backfired as he got a first ball duck. I thought I had a real chance after dismissing Blair for not very many, but my batsmen, weren't up to the task.

 

[chimpert]

Lebeese didnt last long either gone for 6

33.2 W Freeman to Lebese
A slower delivery... and he's out. He played all round that and got a top edge to mid on.

34.3 4 Rajpar to Smith
A juicy full toss outside the off stump. Smith slashes hard and the ball squirts away for four.

Thats the way Smith

35.6 4 Freeman to Night
That's just asking to be put away. Should have been a six really.

40 overs up, if these 2 can get 6 and over we can get 220, which should be a good score on this dusty wicket

End of Over 40: 164-6, runrate=4.10
Freeman 10-1-45-1
Night* 21 (35 balls)
Smith 10 (28 balls)

Last Wicket: Lebese c. Saich b. Freeman 6 (FOW: 146/6)

Thats all we need, singles and the odd ball going for 4

40.3 4 Forrester to Night
FOUR, shot! That's just brilliant from Night, rocking back, standing tall and hammering Forrester in front of square for four.

 

[Briggsey]

Nice win Zorax, your bowling proved too strong in the end. I think I need to change Mcmahon and Burdett around and have Mcmahon come back in the middle overs instead of Burdett, early stages though with him. I think another 50 odd runs with Mcmahon back in the attack at the end and I might have had a chance, but we will be better next time!

 

[chimpert]

thats it smith...Brings up the 200 :happy

45.5 4 Latif to Smith
Smith executes the paddle sweep perfectly and picks up four behind square.

Good over from Forrester picking up the wicket of Night and only giving away 1 run at this crucial stage

46.3 W Forrester to Night
Must be LBW. Must be LBW! MUST BE LBW! It's carnival time for Forrester

End of Over 47: 203-7, runrate=4.32
Forrester 9-0-43-1
Farley* 1 (2 balls)
Smith 32 (51 balls)

Last Wicket: Night lbw b. Forrester 37 (FOW: 202/7)

come on 220!!!...

48.2 4 Forrester to Farley
There is only a matter of feet between those two fielders, but Farley separated them as though it were miles. A boundary to tell to the grandkids about!

Doesnt look like we are going to get there...Smith running out of partners

48.3 W Forrester to Farley
Farley marched down the wicket and had a wild swing at the ball, missed it by a mile and Alauddin was quick to whip the bails off. Good wicketkeeping.

And there goes halls too, 1 wicket and 4 balls left...

49.2 W Latif to Halls
Caught out by the flipper! He was expecting some turn but it went straight on and trapped him on the back foot. Plumb lbw.

49.3 - Single
49.4 - Single
49.5 - Wicket, all out

49.5 W Latif to De wouw
Plumb in front of middle peg. De wouw has to walk.

End of Over 50: 217-10, runrate=4.34
Latif 9-0-59-3
Smith* 38 (57 balls)

Good batting by Smith, but he ran out of partners. Going to be intersting to see how my guys bowl on this pitch

 

[chimpert]

Looks like i have lost it from here now...

End of Over 43: 213-5, runrate=4.95, reqrunrate=0.71 (217-10)
Gustav 7-0-35-1
Maazullah* 26 (25 balls)
Alauddin 21 (11 balls)

I beat the Old Wulfs today! A rather remarkable result to say the least, I'm absolutely overjoyed with it but no doubt Freddie Fan will be rather ticked off at the result.



Here are the ratings (yes I know they aren't always the best to go by, but they give a rough guide ) to prove how (lucky?) much of a good result it is for us.

Congrats mate, an excellent result for you. I'm not that dissapointed actually, I won a game I shouldn't have on Friday and lost a game I shouldnt have (if you'll excuse me saying) here. Just the way it goes. I'm interested in seeing Bird's stats if you wouldnt mind?

 

[borncricketer]

Good win Brett_Lee

FF i cant believe you lost:O, amazing effort by ur boys Max

Chimpert a few more runs in the end would have helped u

 

[aussie1st]

Awesome win there Brett, also another good win for BC.

Nah, you really should have won it. I think the total I managed was decent enough considering our bowling is equal. I don't know what happened to your batting or my bowling, but somewhere something worked or didn't. I suppose you could pin it down to some bad batting and lucky bowling. I suppose youre even more desperate for that bowler now.

Jonathon Bird - 17 yo, BT Rating=8,047
LH Batsman, LM Bowler, proficient batting form, superb bowling form, energetic
A defensive player with woeful leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: feeble
Batting: worthless Concentration: worthless
Bowling: proficient Consistency: competent
Fielding: worthless

I expect him to hit strong in 1-3 weeks from now.

 

[FreddieFan]

Ah, that explains it then, I didn't spot his age. I was looking at his wage and wondering how a competant took 4-31 against me on a hard and fast.

Seen Ludlam's pop btw?
