Fantasy Cricket Game
-----------------------------------

Round: 1

Game: 2

Teams: The Top Tamperers (Duane21) vs The Match Fixers (playaz_05)

Match Type: ODI, 50 overs
(all matches will be the same kind)

Venue: Docklands (Melbourne), Australia

Pitch and Weather Report:

PITCH REPORT: (Normal)

"The pitch at Docklands today looks fairly even for both teams. It does have a bit of moisture beneath the surface which could benefit the team bowling first. The bounce should stay consistent all the way through the match but it may not spin too much. To me this looks like a 240-260 pitch."

WEATHER REPORT: (Cloudy, Warm)

"The weather really doesn't have much effect at docklands considering the roof is closed, so expect the ball to do nothing through the air. Swing bowlers will not get much assistance and the batters should be able to play through the line comfortably."

Latest Odds:
------------------------
The Match Fixers: $2.00 (fav)
The Top Tamperers: $2.10

This should turn out to be a very tightly contested match.
Both sides have picked very good line-ups and it seems very even.
The only thing that is going against The Top Tamperers is the fact they have to bat first.
The ball will seam early on and will probably provide some trouble for them.
