204 is the target for GG. The fact the we bowled Jura out with overs to spare is a good sign— and no one from their batting crossed 50.
Disciplined bowling from all the guys (Bram included)!
now to get these runs

Lost Bram early and cheaply…skipper Levy is still and RDV joins him. This chase is starting to feel tense…you can just sense that…
Lots of runs left to get…

Andddddddddd we have a winnner!!!!!
GG CC!!! Triumphant.
First, let's start with the expert preview, Jura was clearly 2K higher than GG. I was most worried about their excellent bowling ratings...all over 50K.
Jura batted first, with the pair of Baverstock and Tino Zikhungwini giving their team a rapid start-- 25 in 3.2 overs, before skipper of GG CC, Levy, snared the big fish, Tino. Baverstock fell soon after, and the rebuild began between Pickering and Palathingal...just as when they were looking to push on the scoring, Peter Sutherland architected a run-out of Pickering to end a 77-run partnership-- the biggest in the innings. Brooks held an end while wickets fell at the other.
200 was breached in the 37th over, but a Plaatjies double strike ended Jura's innings-- 203
The opening pair for GG started the same way as Jura's...but Bram Human was the first to fall, rather cheaply, in the 5th over. At this stage Riaan de Villiers joined his skipper and they basically bossed the chase with a 137-run 2nd wicket partnership...Gopalan made a double blow, getting rid of Levy (75 off 66) and Sutherland (2 off 2)....after that the pair of de Villiers (78* off 95) and Watt (32* off 20) saw GG home to the target....Watt smacked a six to get the winning runs.

And thank you to all the fellow competitors!

A double whammy for me today with Lewis losing the World championship in controversial circumstances!
Fortunately though I can have no complaints about Jura's defeat to GG - they were the better team and deserved their victory. Many congratulations sir , and thanks again to the excellent organisation. CWC really does add a great deal of fun to Stumped in my opinion.
A good write up from Josh of the match . From the Jura perspective the loss of Bavers for only 16 was always a worry. There was some blazing but without the platform of Bavers it had to start too early and the GG bowlers stuck really well to their task and just kept chipping away. The fast bowler Xenos was particularly effective and our middle order found him difficult to get away and consequently made mistakes against other bowlers who nagged away at them and restricted their efforts to raise the score to the levels they have been used to.
We still had hope of our (on paper) superior bowling attack. Perhaps (hindsight is a wonderful thing!) they were a little too aggressive but it has worked many a time before so instead I would say it was the excellent batting of Levy and de Villiers that won it. Together they scored at 6 an over with relative ease, so that by the time Levy was out - they needed only 50 runs from 25 overs.
It was no consequence that we managed to remove those fearsome danger men Human and Sutherland cheaply, when Levy and de Villiers then batted with such maturity against all style of bowling and in the end we were made to look very ordinary as Watt rocketed GG to a very easy win.
Once again - congratulations to the new and first time champions
-------------------
We look forward to CWC 4 and will enjoy pitting our wits against you all again in a new format and this time with 2 teams in the pot .........Let the games begin!!! (ME permitting

Winning 2 out of 3 against your team was quite something. The first win where we chased down 280 in 36 overs was based on the performance of one man-- Peter Sutherland.A double whammy for me today with Lewis losing the World championship in controversial circumstances!

But this win was more of team performance, the bowlers bowled well...and the skipper took the initiative in the chase with 70+
Tony Watt played the closing knock well. The stability of RDV's knock was just pleasing to see. Calm and cool.
To be honest, Zikhungwini was my biggest concern, prior to the start of the match. Leading the runs tally like Sachin in 2003 world cup, only to be dismissed cheaply in the final lol.
Look forward to playing more games against your team, Boxer!

Yeah the generator didn't allowed a bye. If it comes down to a bonus point earned or not earned against the bot I'm not entirely sure what to do

We had the same problem in CWC1. Needed a bot to make up the numbers, and then @JOJOXI signed up late. I got around that by manually maintaining a points table. Bit more effort tho, let me see if I can find the google sheet I used and send it to you.

Wish @jan was able to join us! OG CWC team, we've missed him in the last couple of editions.
Looking back at the CWC2 table and noticed that @morgieb 's Wombats not only went bot, but just 3 days ago have been taken over by 'Rockywave44' and renamed to 'Gujarat Lions'! Reckon that's a sign morgie, time for a comeback

Good luck to everyone taking part in the CWC4 group stage tomorrow
Just a reminder, the top two teams from each group qualify for the Championship Division league, the remaining teams for the Second Division

I'm sure they will express some regretful, doleful, nostalgic and somewhat rueful yearnings for the good old days before they were a BOT! Oh how we used to 'knock on wood' and 'tap away' at a score until we'd holed out

Seeing the alliteration of their name, I am sure that they never had an owner. Beep bop beep boo

A day and a bit ago aXIa played against Schmaltzberg. In a strong opening partnership, Rusty scored runs! Hooray! After that 41 (43), however, it all went downhill. Shawn Dee, leading run-scorer against DySch, gets credit for at least scoring runs, but he did it in a way that channelled Kurusumuttu, 2nd highest run-scorer in Sch-AXI matches. 75 (133), jeepers. One of the go-slowiest go-slows, and I've had a few in my club's history. Kurt Murdoch only got to face 9 out of the 50 balls he was out in the middle for, and that meant that we could only get 205-9. Tawana Wessel, 4-31 (8), was star bowler. The chase was simple, and despite a little misstep, they got there with 5 wickets and ample enough overs remaining. Nawaz Saijad hit 61 (80).
Excited for CWC4! Daniel Rowan, formerly of Morpork, now is the key batsman of my team. The last CWC match he played, he scored 107* (51)... in a T20... from number 6. Hopefully he continues from where he left off! Interesting to note that that was also Frans Bronkhorst's Dynamo debut; didn't think he had been in the side that long.
