OH MAN
Just had THE BEST online game of my life today!! I won't say his username...but he picked Asia 11, with 3 top rated Fast bowlers and simply an elite squad of only the best (he took like 5 mins to pick his roster), and I picked India, with NO fast bowlers, and a 20-20 game
As soon as I found out that I had dropped out Ishant my only Fast bowler I knew I was going to get whacked off my fast medium and spin bowlers..and I did, but I still managed to get him out for 157 by the 12th over or so.
Then came my turn to bat...I had to make 158 in 20 overs with 3 high rated Fast bowlers in his bowling attack...Dravid opening got out on DUCK. lol got off to a very bad start (at the end of 4th over I was like 10-2) I then started to get as many singles/doubles as I could off his fast bowlers (ocassional 4's also came but he was bowling a very good line and length towards the off side where he had a VERY good field). I was at 30-4 with a RRR of 8+ and had no hopes of winning but i was counting on him to introduce his fast medium and spin bowlers because even if he bowls out all 3 of his fast bowlers, he'll be left with 8 more overs to give others, and I knew he wouldn't know how to use them properly to get wickets...he was smart and brought them on and I milked them for as much as I could
that gave me hope but then still his fast bowlers kept taking my wickets because of the run rate pressure I was under.
At the end of the 19th over, his final fast bowler bowled his final over, I was at 147 for 9 and needed 11 to win off the last over.
He brought a spinner on. Got doubles off the first two balls, then a 6 towards the deep leg and then a single to the deep point to finish it off.
As the team celebrated i ran for my mobile camera to snap the pics of the scorecards before it went to the main menu screen :
Glad he didn't quit. What an awesome game!
