End of Over 90 (Maiden). Tawonga Tigers: 324-8, runrate=3.60
Lead by 159 runs. (WorldClass 165-10)
Larkman 22-3-81-2
Mills* 1 (9 balls)
Fordham 85 (118 balls)
Last Wicket: Murphy c. Lucas b. Juan 18 (FOW: 322/8)

Fordham edging his way to a century. Reminds me slightly of Hussey getting a century with MacGill, or Bell with the English tailenders.

 

[NZTailender]

****, Mills out. Last man in. Can he stay with Fordham?

 

[Nate]

All over for Hurst. Rest up lots before the OD Match I suppose. Should have full-strength team for the first time in five matches, with most decent stamina.

 

[NZTailender]

End of Over 94 (2 runs). Tawonga Tigers: 332-9, runrate=3.53

Larkman 24-3-88-3

Just 10 more...

96.3 4 Juan to Fordham
Nicely hit by Fordham for four.
And that's a century for Fordham! Well played indeed Sir!

 

[Nate]

Brackenhurst - 61/10 off 25.5 overs
Hindle 23* (29)
Foyle 7/31 (13)

Romy - 403/4 dec. off 78 overs
Holand 144* (161)
Carter 116 (143)
Churms 59 (79)
Holmes 2/96 (19)
Hindle 1/45 (11)
Lake 1/91 (24)

Brackenhurst - 123/10 off 48.1 overs
Hamlin 63 (75)
Bardle 17 (51)
Foyle 5/24 (16)
Rooney 3/20 (8)


Romy win by an innings and 219 runs.


Hamlin was a star in the second dig, hitting Foyle for a massive six, and Bardle wasn't completely useless. Problem is - everyone else was.

Full strength against third (we're seventh) and GFI on Friday.

 

[pasag]

End of Over 58 (7 runs). storey CC: 220-4, runrate=3.79
Trail by 61 runs. (Saggers Mob 281-10)
Furlong 11-2-43-1
Parle* 2 (6 balls)
Marthinus 25 (50 balls)

Need a couple of wickets here.

 

[NZTailender]

Now we're closing in on 350, I wish I could give the order now to set these batsmen to aggressive. Want to have a crack at bowling them out soon enough.

 

[Nate]

Century much?

EDIT: Ah, just seen it. Hussey-esque indeed.

 

[NZTailender]

After the tense period seeing whether he'd get a century, now it's become a bit boring. Just sitting back now and seeing how much Fordham can make before the innings is over.

 

[Perm]

Openers both scoring triple centuries. Meh, damn bots.

 

[NZTailender]

Holmes finally out, Fordham left on 135*.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Won easy. Seneviratne with match figures of 12/18

Pretty gun, has to be said.

Bowling now, we have them 1-16, with Mills and Knowles opening the bowling. Was hoping for at least 3 wickets in their opening spells.

 

[EARLOBE]

Managed to bowl him out for 133 this morning which is less than what I was expecting. Had all of my batsmen's orders set to aggressive, hoping to get a big total by the end of day, but got bowled out for 335. Right now they're 4/65. I'm hoping they can last the days play so I can get tomorrow money. I'm disappointed I missed out on that extra batting point.

 

[EARLOBE]

By the way, less than a day left for bidding on this guy:

Simon Walmsley (1594246)

[oz_fan]

End of Over 106 (2 runs). nails noobies: 522-6, runrate=4.92
Lead by 156 runs. (oz fans XI 366-9 dec)
Gordon 21-1-100-2
Wilson* 39 (43 balls)
Walcott 0 (0 balls)

Should definately be able to draw the match which is the best result at the moment. Hopefully I can take more wickets before he declares to get maximum bowling points.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

No one will buy him. I sold a prof-worthless 17 year old a season back for 50k. Was more mid-season than this, but unless someone's ******** they aren't spending 2million on that.

 

[Son Of Coco]

After bowling the opposition out for 117 and having a leading of 161, it seems my team forgot how to play today...I was bowled out for 107 and then the other team got within 100 runs of victory, bowling along at 4.5 an over. Not sure what happened...

 

[EARLOBE]

Got him at 8/98 at the end of days play. Another $40k tomorrow.


All of my trainees have had a great game too.
