Stop posting your stupid worthless Youth Pulls. Only post it if it's a good one, or could have been.

Nice. With these all-worthless players I get this image of a jellyfish sitting at the crease with a bat on top of it, and a coach prodding it with a stick saying, "you call that a cover drive?"

Lake bowling out of his skin for me on debut, Clayton however, is not rewarding my dropping of Ballard, and is going to need something spectacular not to be dropped next match.

[Nate]

Lake getting punished. Bring on the spinners!

Currently playing I.1 side Aristo Aristocrats, and I'm batting first -

End of Over 19: 80-1, runrate=4.21
Poole 3-0-16-0
Johnston* 14 (26 balls)
Gray 45 (56 balls)
Last Wicket: Mcmillan Run Out 18 (FOW: 36/1)

Lucas 7-0-24-0

 

[Nate]

Not doing as well as I`d hoped. Need some wickets if we hope to get them out for under 200.

 

[NZTailender]

End of Over 34: 147-2, runrate=4.32
Maguire 5-1-16-0
Siyabonga* 61 (87 balls)
Weerappuli 43 (58 balls)
Last Wicket: Livera c. Steyn b. Holmes 35 (FOW: 61/2)

Batting pretty slowly. The collapse is bound to come soon and we may only end up with 200. But hopefully a flurry of runs will bring 225-250.

 

[Johnners]

I wasn't planning to... I wouldn't have done in the Cup

in that case, you'd better bat first.... the game might last more than 30 minutes that way

 

[Nate]

Clayton a huge dissapointment. Lake had his moments. Hindle shocking. Need Maguire and Holmes to rip through `em.

EDIT: Argh, 3 4`s in a row. My pitch is meant to be good for spin.

 

[Nate]

Holmes gets the danger-man! C`mon Brackenhurst!

Holmes and Steyn are an awesome bowling/wicket-keeping combination for me.

 

[mikeW]

Any news on the 20/20?

 

[Nate]

Maguire! He`s bowling rubbish. Might need to re-think my bowling tactics. All up to Holmes now.

EDIT: Maguire to bowl my last. Haha, oh dear.

 

[Nate]

Credit to Fordham mind, he`s batting extremely well.

 

[Nate]

Accepted that my bowlers haven`t been good enough. Batsmen will need to play superbly if I`m to be a chance.

EDIT: Well played Thomas. They make 260/5, which should be a very defendable target. Maguire was absolutely hopeless in his second spell, and I`m not really sure why. C`mon Brackenhurst batsmen.

 

[Nate]

Haha, not just because of BT, but this is one of my worst days in a long time.

EDIT: Just realised Thomas never did a BT collapse. Conspiracy!

 

[Nate]

Antonius fails for the first time, I`m going to need something special to win this. Really thought I was going to win. I made the pitch good for spin. Why isn`t it good for spin?! Gaaaaaah.

End of Over 13: 48-3, runrate=3.69, reqrunrate=5.76 (260-5)
Brayley 2-0-9-1
Ndebele* 10 (12 balls)
Read 3 (5 balls)

 

[NZTailender]

Brayley is my lone spinner. So he should go well if it's good for spin

 

[Nate]

Your pacers took two wickets with an amazing economy rate.

EDIT: Ndebele and Read have the potential to gun it. I really hope they do.

 

[NZTailender]

Setting yourself up for a good platform here...


Evenly balanced, I daresay.
