[Preseason] July 30th: Brawny Bandits vs. Stump Smashers

[Pranav]

4 runs. We need more of these.

 

[Akash00]

And a four off the 2nd ball! :happy

 

[Iridium]

1 over to go all out.

Iridium added 0 Minutes and 21 Seconds later...

Also, no sign of any Bandits in this thread.

 

[Akash00]

Now for the final two balls with me on strike.

Akash00 added 0 Minutes and 33 Seconds later...

And 4 runs...

 

[Pranav]

And, 4 more.

 

[Iridium]

Four! Nice. Maybe a six to finish things off.

 

[Pranav]

This game could go either way. We need to bowl really good now!

 

[Akash00]

A dot ball to end our innings!

But Pranav and Hedger did a great job in setting up the platform for a score of 160+ and AngryPixel wonderfully accelerated the RR well towards the end.

Akash00 added 1 Minutes and 5 Seconds later...

Now it's all in the hands of the bowlers. All the best for them.

Akash00 added 0 Minutes and 46 Seconds later...

OUT! Adams cleans up Bakshi's stumps. :banana2

We can't get any better start!

 

[w3lshrugby]

Oh. I can see this being a very close game!

 

[Iridium]

Awesome start. This could be all over pretty soon.

 

[Covvy]

Lets hope I bowl well today so we can win convincingly.

 

[Akash00]

The equation is:

Considering Lunar Sharks beat the Llamas Anonymous by 40 runs, we need to keep the Bandits to 119 runs to go through.

That is, if this happens our NRR will be 0.36 while the Lunar Sharks' NRR will be 0.35!

Akash00 added 9 Minutes and 19 Seconds later...

According to the above equation, I think we are never going to keep them to 119 and I am sure the game will be close, looking at the way the Bandits are going. So, if we can pull-off a 15 run win here, we have to pray that the Sharks beat the Llamas by not more than 12 runs.

 

[Covvy]

We really need a wicket soon, they're starting to get on top.

 

[Akash00]

Now there is very little chance for us to get back into this game and keep them to something like 140-145.

 

[Themer]

Mmmm. Once again two all rounders bowl out while two pure bowlers don't

Come on the bandits. We've got a good chance to actually win from here.
