Stumped!

156 a/o! 157 to win! Ga Yau a!

FHK started well but lost 3 quick wickets. 12 overs to go and another 102 needed. Tricky situation to be in. Really needed one of Law or Yau to kick on.

We ended on 139/9 3 losses in 3 games for FHK in their Div 2 T20 debut. Aim now is to avoid relegation somehow.

Good number of pops at today's training though, and we're playing at home tomorrow, so hopefully we get a win.

ZCC with only 6 pops today, 4 of which are experience lol. Once we're out of the cup we will get more game time into some of our younger players. For now, the goal is to win every game. At home in tomorrow's OD clash too, so hoping for another good performance.

The final round CWC2 game between these two teams is going to be exciting. It's at 5DNOL stadium, and ZCC are likely to field Chester and Ramalingam in place of Bikswing. FHK on the other hand will be leaving out Ted Hui - who has impressed in his T20 career so far - for Joshua Wong, whose pace and performances in Dev cricket has really caught the eyes of the coaches.

Keep the faith FHK. No relegation.


On the other hand over here in Mooo world, we have a match against GG CC starting in just over an hour's time. Last night's game went so close, but we weren't able to get the win. Gul gets a rest today, and Tom Toogood gets the captaincy.

I see you're 4th in expert preview, just a very competitive league below team 1 it seems

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh, I forgot to mention that the regular keeper for GG, Arie Fouche, will not be donning the gloves in this game... instead, he will be bowling. Youngster Jagdeep Patel will do the duties of the keeper.

 

[StephenZA]

MTOs making hard work of that target. Farhat carrying his bat and taking team home.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Moooo have amassed 247/8 against GG.

Veenstra with an unbeaten 80, Meyiwa and Nazar both scored fifties as well.

It is a good score on the board for once. Positive batting.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Jagdeep did a tidy job behind the stumps too, not on him that the GG bowlers were ineffective (no Obeysekere and Sutherland will do that?)

meanwhile despite TMO's horror fielding ataraXIa have failed to take quick singles and so are stuck at 172/3 after 45 overs

 

[StephenZA]

I don’t know how Marx gets away with it half the time... just struggle to put him away. And he gets wickets off nothing deliveries.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I gotta say that Jagdeep Patel, although still green as a player, is proving his worth and putting a price on his wicket. Talented, yes.

This is the kind of fight I expect 16 year olds to put up.

An excellent grab for GG he is.

I think we got a game on our hands here.
C. Human can play the long innings. Anything less than an unbeaten century would be disappointing for him here.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Veenstra not quite as effective with ball than bat yet tonight but I think they have something up their sleeve

Probably too tired to bowl after his batting effort…but still if you go be a world class all rounder, then you’ll have to put in the hard yards.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

“Woodcock DROPPED tough chance.”

****ing Woodcock again. He dropped the game there.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

C. Human falls for 77. Veenstra gets him.

Captain Peter Sutherland comes to the crease with his team needing 110 from 96 balls.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Toogood too good

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Two of GG’s latest recruits in the middle here. It’s a big moment for both of them. The older teammates are watching with eager eyes.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Geez they've never been afraid of this big target have they, even when wickets have clattered

Woodcock might have been too busy to win the match here

[SillyCowCorner1]

Tooogooood!

What a ****ing cliffhanger of a match this is ?‍???‍?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This was one hell of a game. Really happy it went our way.

Two good games played by these teams in less than 24 hours. I love the competitiveness.

It was very interesting to see Fouche bowling for the first time for GG…and he picked up four wickets.

Really impressed by the youngsters (new recruits) of the GG team (Hafeez, Patel, and Rabbani). They are in good hands.

And what about the batting from Mooo? Their best outing against a formidable opposition. I see that they crossed 35K with the ratings so it’s a first.
It’s a good team, just have to fill a few more holes.

In that MTO game (a Dev-player SOD) I just decided to play with a MAS of 150 for no reason, test match time lol. Shawn Dee 81 (149) . 210-5, doubt I would've got much more with a normal MAS given my long tail.

The MTOs are well in it; they need 22 runs off the last 10 -- but with only 3 wickets remaining...
