Me and Wanderer had a 5 match OD Series and he's up 3-1 where I managed to win 1 after scoring 352 runs in my innings and then managing to bowl them out for 301. He is in Division 2 and 3 though so them losses weren't surprising.

I've been on a buying spree this season and it's paid off - a thumping 343 OD run victory in my first match. Sure, it was against a bot, but I haven't been playing that long - joined just as the last season was about to finish.

Posted 2/377 from 50 overs, with my new star batsman Vernon hitting a casual 162* from 123 alongside Dickson's 153 from 138.

Went on to bowl them out for just 34 in 13.5 overs. No bowler conceded more than 10 runs - here were their figures.


Bowler, Overs, Maidens, Runs, Wickets

A Gray: 5-0-9-4
D Sanders: 2-0-5-3
S Rabbani: 5-2-7-2
P Graf: 1.5-0-6-1

Looks like I'll have some competition in my One Day 5.16 league in Sri Lanka however, another team knocked over a bot by 359 runs. Should be very interesting..

Today's match was a bit difficult. My top batsmen failed to score runs only Gautam Gambhir scored fifty. Sangakkara missed fifty by 1 run. But Shakti Makwana took 5wickets as he lead his team to victory. He is the captain of the team since 3rd season.

G. Gambhir 66 (66) 4sx7 6sx1
S. Makwana 34-5

Been ownage central so far, all my opponents have been bots.
Currently Power took 5-14 to demolish the opposition for 97.

Picked up a 387 run victory today over a bot, despite forgetting to put my best bowling lineup in - I ended up resting my star bowler accidentally, which probably wasn't such a bad thing anyway.

My batting lineup..

C Dickson 149 (126), 8 fours, 1 six
I Mansfield 151 (119), 10 fours, 2 sixes
G Vernon 69* (35), 5 fours, 1 six
E Ducker 50* (22), 6 fours, 1 six

Total: 2/430

With the ball it was Canadian Alex Gray who snared 5/5 (coincidentally from 5 overs) to send them packing for 43 all out.

 

[aussie1st]

Starting to play human teams but they are noobs.

BB 3/192 Maguire 94 (52), Cawley 48 (27)
Ashwood 9/77

 

[Tarzan]

In today's match, I don't know why my Batsmen bowled 4 overs. Gambhir and Logan bowled and gave runs which cost me a loss....

I set line up yesterday and that wasn't today...

 

[Funknath]

A. Suruchi, C. Wiersma, K. Wellington, C. Withana, D. Reid, A. Saji are no longer tired.

That ends the innings of All Stars Select. Golden Warriors will have a target of 133 to chase.

C. Wiersma, D. Reid, A. Saji are tired.

End of over 20 (4 runs) - All Stars Select(132-7) RR 6.60
A. Saji 1 (1b) , R. Perren 28 (15b) , D. Reid 4-0-17-3

Not a big total to chase

2.3 W Makwana to O'Leary : Oh he's gone! Tremendous delivery by Makwana. Seemed to have just nipped off the seam a fraction and left O'Leary with no choice but to play at it. Thick edge off the bat and Yogesh makes no mistake in catching it.
A. O'Leary c A. Yogesh b. S. Makwana 2 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR:22.22

O'Leary was caught by his best friend and former colleague Yogesh. Both played and shared good partnerships in Youth Cricket...

 

[hedger_14]

He's not opening the batting next week.

Going very slow at the moment.

End of over 34 (maiden) - Hedger's Team(101-5) RR 2.97
Z. Ali 20 (43b) , M. Oldroyd 1 (13b) , S. Warne 7-1-28-0

Miller scored 40 though which was good.

 

[Tarzan]

Second spell of MAKWANA proved dangerous for your team...

 

[hedger_14]

He was bowling at the tailenders. I expected that.

 

[Tarzan]

Western Wanderers won by 9 wickets

End of over 22 (4 runs) - Western Wanderers(119-1) RR 5.41
V. Sehwag 52 (54b) , G. Gambhir 26 (32b) , B. Kwistel 5.3-0-22-0
That is 50 runs for Sehwag (52 runs, 54b 2x4 0x6) SR:96.30
21.3 4 Kwistel to Sehwag : Punched away! Short of length, just outside off and Sehwag moved into the line and hit it on the up through the cover region. Super shot that.

Another crushing victory over Hedger's Teams...
