I can guess i won by a run then.

No I'm Spartacus!!!

Anyway It was bloody close one for the team and I play another side with nearly identical ratings as them in a few days. Any bets for a repeat result?

Naah, last ball defeat imo.

Does look like you have a decent chance of going through after that win though.

End of Over 20: 86-2, runrate=4.30 
Bruce 10-0-46-2 
Ellis* 14 (44 balls) 
Quintin 5 (9 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Lucas c. Nickson b. Bruce 44 (FOW: 80/2)

Lost Lucas, but apart from that got through their best two bowlers pretty well. Need to up the run rate a bit here. But they still have two decent seamers (remarkable or so) to deal with.

 

[chaminda_00]

Hmm went from:

End of Over 39: 170-3, runrate=4.36 
Bryant 6-1-17-0 
Quintin* 44 (62 balls) 
Muralitharan 29 (35 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Ellis c. Bryant b. Fife 20 (FOW: 112/3)

to this:

End of Over 44: 192-10, runrate=4.36 
Ruklanthi 7-0-40-1 
Ndah* 5 (3 balls)

Need something special from here now. Pretty disappointing finish to our innings, after setting it nicely.

Good stuff. Will probably train him for a bit as virtually all my nets are being wasted at the moment. Sold Petrus for 11.7m btw.

End of Over 26: 133-3, runrate=5.12, reqrunrate=2.50 (192-10) 
Matharu 3-0-20-1 
Wilkinson* 32 (40 balls) 
Fife 6 (5 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Gowshall c. Clayton b. Matharu 65 (FOW: 127/3)

Just dismissed Gowshall, really needed that wicket. Apart from Wilkinson the rest of their batsmen are about proficient. So we could really roll them from here. Need Murali to really stand up, he has 5 over straight from the other end.

 

[chaminda_00]

End of Over 31: 161-4, runrate=5.19, reqrunrate=1.68 (192-10) 
Muralitharan 9-0-44-1 
Fife* 21 (19 balls) 
Nickson 0 (2 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Wilkinson c. Ndah b. Muralitharan 38 (FOW: 161/4)

Massive wicket, Sishayi on at the other end, a big three overs coming up here. Two more and into the tail.

EDIT:
One down, I love you Murali

32.5 W Muralitharan to Fife
It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Unfortunately for Fife, she's just sung a whole Puccini aria. Clean bowled. Arrivederci!

Game on, lets go BT collaspe all the way.

Watching the end of your match. Looks like they dont have much left. You should win.

Need wickets soon though, as these two could get the runs required themselves. Jeithoon doesn't come back until about the 45th over. Should be over before that.

All over. Fair effort to reach the quarters all the same.

Frusting way to get knocked out, would have rather been smashed tbh. Oh well should be able to recover my PFLs for the CW Cup now.

 

[mikeW]

bad luck mate.

EDIT: mind selling me Jeithoon?

 

[Johnners]

Yesssssss, bidding war on Stroud

You'll get around 3m.

Nah, ended up with 2.4, there was only 1 bid in the final 3 minutes, the rest were 1-2 hours before the deadline. Happy with that though

Very good, very good. Hyde will be a player in years to come. Got him on 2 bowl 1 stam at the moment until he gets to superb stam, then he'll get a fielding net. Can't afford the extra net at the moment.
