your safe unless Drummond picks up the SR.

 

[superkingdave]

exactly 100 needed off the last 10 with 7 wickets in hand, should be a thriller. my worst bowler has 2 overs left and then my 2nd best has 5 overs and my best 3.

 

[Scaly piscine]

your safe unless Drummond picks up the SR.

Overs 37-40 and just about killed off any chance I think, another 10-15 runs you'd have had a reasonable chance - now you need a minor miracle.

 

[superkingdave]

and now Wight is out, Keane returning to pick him up. Confident now.

 

[superkingdave]

and blower too

pretty much unless Tahir my competant bat with competant stamina but worthless concentration does well.

 

[superkingdave]

Abdul Kadir gets away with just 6 singles from his penultimate over.

Hopefully Islam will come on and claim a few at the end

I bet that he will, game is over singles just arnt good enough.

its not over till the fat lady sings mate, Longrigg and Tahir have each just hit a 4

 

[mikeW]

congrats on the win. Keane finished with 6 for!

 

[superkingdave]

thanks, was a good game.

Hopefully my morale will be higher the next couple of weeks, i've been TIEing against people in my league i know i can't beat so my morale is only 'hopeful' my next 2 games are against sides i should beat easily so i should start getting better ratings.

Bush Pigs are batting and making a real game of it. With Holmes, Hamshaw and Waddell all rested it makes for tense times...

End of Over 16: 104-1, runrate=6.50
Henshaw 3-0-25-0
Ardley* 19 (14 balls)
Allaway 46 (48 balls)

 

[Robertinho]

Hmm, Bushpigs looking good against Whenuapai. Could have an upset on our hands.

 

[nibbs]

desperately need livermore to get out to bring in my heavy artilery

End of Over 27: 109-2, runrate=4.04, reqrunrate=7.65 (284-7)
Pook 4-1-7-0
Livermore* 5 (20 balls)
Wheat 3 (7 balls)
Last Wicket: Willetts c. Forbes b. Houlihan 35 (FOW: 104/2)

 

[nibbs]

unless bush pigs' bowlers get their fkn act together and get one of these two out, preferably livermore, i conseed

End of Over 35: 153-2, runrate=4.37, reqrunrate=8.80 (284-7)
Whalley 8-0-27-0
Wheat* 28 (25 balls)
Livermore 17 (51 balls)

 

[nibbs]

we were requiring 124 off just 78. its down to 92 off 60, and duggan is in. even wheat is getting into the spirit of things

End of Over 40: 193-3, runrate=4.83, reqrunrate=9.20 (284-7)
Sisk 10-0-60-0
Duggan* 22 (10 balls)
Wheat 45 (39 balls)

 

[nibbs]

Pook just bowled perhaps the most important over in the match so far. Got rid of Wheat, then Fry. 223/5 is the score after 44 overs. 63 to win, only 36 balls to go.

EDIT: 40 off 24 to win; Duggan 45 (28 balls), Lennon 17 (7 balls), Pook 8-1-35-2

EDIT: crazy, got it down to 29 off 18 only for it to become 20 off 10. Still tense, dam tense

EDIT: 13 needed off the last over

EDIT: 10 off 3. congrats, kears...

dam, fell 4 runs short. this certainly throws group 3 wide open. i've got the two sides that i had initially considered to be my toughest two opponents. back to the drawing board

 

[Robertinho]

Lennon with a big six to finish that over. 10 an over from here
