[Bobisback]

In on topic news, i pulled a dud Youth, was going to have him open the bowling and batting against smith, but decided against it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Pfft. Conceding defeat already.

 

[The Baconator]

Was bound to get one eventually...

[Johnners]

End of Over 6: 32-1, runrate=5.33
Meyer 3-0-23-1
Chanderpaul* 22 (17 balls)
Taylor 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Abdul kadir c. Moloto b. Meyer 9 (FOW: 32/1)

Bowling first against PY. Meyer just picked up kadir, but is getting taken for plenty thanks to his relatively low consistency (competant).

 

[andyc]

Playing Jamee, batting first.

End of Over 21: 85-3, runrate=4.05
Fitzpatrick 1-0-6-1
Sutton* 40 (50 balls)
Griffin 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Kilkenny c. Bardle b. Fitzpatrick 7 (FOW: 85/3)

Bardle's 10 went for 2/15, but Griffin's in now, with Canning, Tedstone and Terry to come, so it should hopefully be clear sailing from here.

Edit: ****, Canning gone for 14. That hurts.

I'm making a right habit of these 0 ITS could've-beens:

[Johnners]

End of Over 42: 175-10, runrate=4.17
Savage 5-1-16-3
King* 21 (43 balls)

Thanks to Walton, Savage & Groves i've somehow restricted PY to 175. Hoping to at least make 100 in reply

 

[andyc]

Very good last ten overs for me against Jamee, went from 5/200 to this

End of Over 50: 295-6, runrate=5.90
Fitzpatrick 10-0-70-2
Tedstone* 72 (60 balls)
Terry 13 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Griffin b. Kealey 92 (FOW: 278/6)

Solid cameo from Terry, came in in the last over and hit 2 1 4 6

 

[Bobisback]

Playing Smith, and in a very strong position.

End of Over 15: 93-0, runrate=6.20, reqrunrate=4.74 (258-8)
Sambrook	3-1-20-0
Hocking*	58 (51 balls)
Beaumont	31 (42 balls)

15.3 	3	Swart to Hocking
 	 	Sweet shot, whipped off his toes wide of mid wicket with Hodge in hot pursuit. He fields and sends in a good return, but not before the batsmen complete three.
15.2 	4	Swart to Hocking
 	 	Four runs. That went straight off the meat of the bat. An excellent cover drive by Hocking.
15.1 	4	Swart to Hocking
 	 	Full ball and it's hammered away for a one bounce four.

14.6 	4	Sambrook to Beaumont
 	 	Short, wide, you know the drill.
14.5 	.	Sambrook to Beaumont
 	 	Slower ball drifting into the pads. He tries to glance it fine but misses. The ball hits the pad and drops down in close on the leg side.
14.4 	6	Sambrook to Beaumont
 	 	Cover those windows and lock up your daughters, Beaumont is on the attack!!!

Taking it to their bowlers.

EDIT: Last 15 balls have went for 3 runs, why did i post about the boundaries

 

[andyc]

FFS, need a wicket here against Jamee. Canning took the one wicket, but he should have more than one at this stage...

End of Over 27: 130-1, runrate=4.81, reqrunrate=7.22 (295-6)
Erasmus 4-0-25-0
Warnock* 36 (53 balls)
Fillery 63 (89 balls)
Last Wicket: Kealey b. Canning 20 (FOW: 50/1)

 

[chaminda_00]

I might start watching someone else game, this is getting embrassing. No Jeithoon no Jets bowling attack.

End of Over 17: 123-0, runrate=7.24
Cooksey 4-0-40-0
Mohammed* 57 (44 balls)
Chanderpaul 65 (59 balls)

Playing Sriram btw

 

[Bobisback]

ffs, I went from a dominant position, to a tough chase.

End of Over 40: 203-3, runrate=5.08, reqrunrate=5.60 (258-8)
Swart	10-2-35-2
Hiller*	12 (18 balls)
Allison	0 (5 balls)

40.4 	W	Hodge to Naylor
 	 	WICKET!! He tried to fend off a well directed bouncer but he just pops it up in the air and Sambrook at short mid wicket holds a simple catch.
40.3 	W	Hodge to Allison
 	 	Plumb in front of middle peg. Allison has to walk.

Even before ive finished the post, ive lost the game.

EDIT:

39.1 	W	Swart to Maughan
 	 	Plumb in front of middle peg. Maughan has to walk.
40.3 	W	Hodge to Allison
 	 	Plumb in front of middle peg. Allison has to walk.

Commentators are a bit dull today.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Nah, Gravey and Hiller in. Still will win.

EDIT: Well not Gravey. Or Carr...

Nope, its over.

Edit:

22/04/2007 2:53:09 PM Bob Smitty gonnr run down to the tab and bet on me to get bowled out for 220-229

That would have been good odds.

Edit2: Lol'n at Scott, actually scoring runs, must be reading the Worthless-Worthless wrong.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Nope, its over.

Scott slapping the **** out of two superb (near quality, both of them) bowlers and you're only 29 away.

 

[Bobisback]

Scott = Worthless-Worthless
Poke = Worthless-Abysmal
Wikus = Worthless-Worthless

Very little chance tbh.

Edit:

44.2 W Hodge to Scott
A good length ball just outside the line of off stump. Scott is unable to get his bat out of the way in time and the ball takes a healthy edge on its way to Heads.
44.1 1 Hodge to Hiller
Solid stroke to long off.

Really sick of that, Hiller is an idiot.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Scott slapping the **** out of two superb (near quality, both of them) bowlers and you're only 29 away.

And he's gone. You just need someone to knock singles and let Hiller do the scoring, then you'd be home.

EDIT: Wikus gone.

EDIT: And Poke, it's over.

Farcical game really. Should never have won that. Hodge ends with 5.

EDIT: Actually only four, Poke was run out.

 

[Bobisback]

And he's gone. You just need someone to knock singles and let Hiller do the scoring, then you'd be home.

EDIT: Wikus gone.

Its over, something has to be down about a Superb bat hitting singles off the first ball to let the Worthless bats have a hit.

End of Over 46: 274-4, runrate=5.96, reqrunrate=5.50 (295-6)
Erasmus 8-0-61-2
Culkin* 28 (13 balls)
Warnock 101 (106 balls)
Last Wicket: Ndah b. Potgieter 6 (FOW: 231/4)

FFS, can't believe Jamee's batting is going to chase this down.

Edit: Warnock goes the next over, but they take 8 off it.
