CW Battrick Cup

[Adamc]

47.6 	W	Wikus to Fernando
 	 	The ball flew in the air to Gravey and he takes it at the fourth or fifth attempt. I haven't seen juggling like that since the last time I was at the circus.
47.5 	W	Wikus to Donohoe
 	 	Donohoe has tried to steer the ball to third man but he has only succeeded in giving Beaumont an easy catch. His overconfidence has resulted in a simple dismissal there!
47.4 	W	Wikus to Kilkenny
 	 	Kilkenny has gone down the wicket to Wikus's delivery and hit that straight up in the air. Beaumont is chasing it, he's right underneath it and safely held. OUT!!!!!!

Poke trying to show up Wikus in the next over.

48.4 	4	Poke to Griffin
 	 	Delicious follow through as the ball races for four, his dad would be proud of that one.
48.3 	6	Poke to Griffin
 	 	Top edged the hook but Griffin has got the power to clear the ropes: Six!
48.2 	6	Poke to Griffin
 	 	A fast bouncer but Griffin has managed to get enough bat on that and Gravey at backward square leg can merely watch it fly into the crowd.
48.1 	2	Poke to Griffin
 	 	Edged, but safely wide of first slip. Third man throws in and Poke still can’t believe it.

Failing miserably.

16.4 	W	Potgieter to Hocking
 	 	That's a truly woeful shot. He couldn't have been surprised to hear the clink of his wicket breaking.

Ah crap. Should have went to poker.

 

[NZTailender]

See sawing match here. Fun to watch. Unless you're Four Pillars manager that is :P

 

[chaminda_00]

Canning should be back on and Hiller just got out. Looking likes things are going Ponies way now. Need a biggie from Beaumont now.

His prof bats can make 50's but my remarkable bats get out in the 40's. Hate this game.

Nah, gone. My bowlers failed to take wickets, has been the story of my season, but still ive been winning. Finally came up against a team that could bat.

Wonder whats on TV.

 

[Bobisback]

Definition of dire - Canning took 2 wickets (Alshaun and Gravey) and i still get smashed. Somebody challenge me for next week.

 

[andyc]

Love this game so much.

Edit: Just a reminder, can whoever is playing me next round please challenge me, regardless of home ground? I'm in Vietnam aws, and getting access to the net may be a bit harder later on in the week

 

[chaminda_00]

Lost the toss batting first. Part of me hopes it is a long night. Part of me wants to go to bed at decent hour. Only two of Trev players are sublime and none are his main players. Hopefully my team's fitness brings his side back to my level.

 

[Bobisback]

Love this game so much.

Hoping you draw Adam next round, and get bowled out for 0.

 

[Adamc]

Resting Watkins and Dissanayake against Jamee, want to rest Downer as well but I figure having only two bowlers will make things a bit difficult for me. Mainly relying on the batting to get me through to the next round.

 

[chaminda_00]

No Watkins, should be interesting to see what Bardle can do to Asterix batting line up. Jamee in with a big chance IMO, if he plays Kealy.

Boggles getting owned like the retards they are 8/49 so far. Can't even make it to three figures. Should quit the game tomorrow, cus his team that dire.

 

[chaminda_00]

End of Over 25: 133-1, runrate=5.32 
Jeffery 3-1-13-0 
Quintin* 76 (60 balls) 
Lucas 34 (65 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Clayton c. Greening b. Bewers 20 (FOW: 37/1)

Doing pretty good at the half way point off my innings.

 

[chaminda_00]

End of Over 42: 200-2, runrate=4.76 
Jeffery 6-2-24-0 
Muralitharan* 24 (19 balls) 
Lucas 59 (115 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Quintin c. Staveley b. Cash 94 (FOW: 161/2)

200 up, don't know what we can defend, but atleast we will have a decent total.

 

[chaminda_00]

BT collaspe came at the wrong time, but we still batted out the 50 overs. Decent enough total to defend, but we probably are going to have to bowl them out to win this match.

End of Over 50: 239-9, runrate=4.78 
Jeffery 10-2-42-4 
Willetts* 2 (7 balls) 
Ellis 15 (14 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Jeithoon b. Jeffery 0 (FOW: 228/9)

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Cymru Gurgitaters need 60 in 14.3 overs to win.

The final QF:

[b]Asterix		999ers[/b]
Cuss		Snodin
+Ashton		Warnock
Janes		Kealey
Gate		Aldred
Ellis		Todd
Whitehorne	Fillery
Gilligan	+Wanless
Boeta		Lea
Johnson		Bardle
Downer		Fitzpatrick
Kealeboga	Laws

Two wickets from Bardle already + a run-out. Much rests on Janes.

 

[Jamee999]

14.3 W Bardle to Whitehorne
And there goes the appeal... and he's given him out. Bardle celebrates as Whitehorne was caught walking across his crease and he looks disappointed as he goes back to the pavilion.

71/5.

EDIT:

14.6 W Bardle to Gilligan
Gilligan just got under that a bit too much, and it's an easy catch for Lea.

71/6 - 15 overs


EDIT II:
Hell yeah!

15.5 W Kealey to Johnson
Brilliant fielding by Laws. He backpedalled a long way and has caught him.
15.4 W Kealey to Boeta
Well it wasn't fast, had no uneven bounce nor seam movement and there seemed to be no distractions. Back to the nets for Boeta.

End of Over 16: 72-8, runrate=4.50
Kealey 8-0-42-2
Janes* 36 (30 balls)
Downer 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Johnson c. Laws b. Kealey 0 (FOW: 72/8)

EDIT THE THIRD:

16.3 W Bardle to Downer
Bardle rolls his fingers over the seam and produces a great off cutter. Downer spots it too late and misses. Great bowling.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Jamee qualified, it seems.

Cymru 203/6, too. Willetts two wickets in an over. Greening still there on 82*...30 off 42 needed.

 

[chaminda_00]

Jeithoon back in two overs, game on.

End of Over 43: 203-6, runrate=4.72, reqrunrate=5.29 (239-9) 
Willetts 7-0-44-2 
Mohammed* 2 (3 balls) 
Greening 82 (106 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Akhtar c. Clayton b. Willetts 0 (FOW: 200/6)

 

[Bobisback]

Jamee qualified, it seems.

Cymru 203/6, too. Willetts two wickets in an over. Greening still there on 82*...30 off 42 needed.

Not yet, have confidence in Downer.
