[brenoevo]

Oh crap so much for being the top qualifier. I got Whenuapai CC then after i lose to him i have got Asterix XI. If they play full strength sides im gona lose so bad... i hope they thrash me if they do beat me cause my team is too ****y at the moment flogging newbys in my Div V league.
accepted Whenuapai CC's challenge

 

[PY]

Your thing doesn't make sense Jamee.

Games 5 & 7 and 6 & 8 don't match up, i.e. just for easiness, say Kweek beats me. He then plays loser of Marc v Bobby in Game 6 but then Game 8 contains the result from Kweek v loser of Adam and Brenevo?

accepted Whenuapai CC's challenge

Pretty unlucky draw for you I guess, but with your top order you've got a decent chance against any team. I most likely won't play a full strength team, Cuss won't play and I've just sold two of my bowlers and might not get replacements in time for our potential match.

 

[nibbs]

under the hammer early against the college dropouts. opening the bowling with hamshaw and henshaw perhaps not the best move it would seem
End of Over 8: 57-0, runrate=7.13
Henshaw 4-0-31-0
Jayasuriya* 32 (28 balls)
Kennedy 24 (20 balls)

 

[marc71178]

The Robertinho Select are going to beat AA comfortably...

 

[nibbs]

Mutasa strikes...just when I thought I was facing the prospect of chasing 350+

End of Over 20: 131-1, runrate=6.55
Mutasa 5-1-26-1
Jayasuriya* 71 (64 balls)
Vincent 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Kennedy b. Mutasa 54 (FOW: 131/1)

 

[Robertinho]

AA for President batting first
End of Over 32: 125-1, runrate=3.91
Mcmillan 6-0-17-0
Groves* 60 (102 balls)
Hohsinuddin 41 (71 balls)

It looks bad for you, Marc, but you'll probably get to 150-160 by he 40th over, and easily get 100 in the last 10 - so 250-260 is pretty defendable against my batting attack, with your bowling attack.

College Dropouts getting stuck in to Whenuapai aswell, I might add.

 

[Robertinho]

AA for President! - 9/214 from 50
Groves 66 (122)
Hohsinuddin 51 (89)
Hignett 5/63 (10)
Mills 2/32 (10)

It's a good total to chase but Marc has a really good bowling attack, so we'll see.

 

[Robertinho]

Wow!
College Dropouts batting first
End of Over 50: 349-3, runrate=6.98
Sweeney 10-0-57-1
Westhead* 37 (25 balls)
Jayasuriya 173 (149 balls)

Looks like we have a game on our hands!

 

[brenoevo]

Omg i just logged on and i scored 349-3 off my 50 overs. Jayasuriya scoring a massive 173 off only 149 balls. Hmm i duno if my bowlers can stop him from scoring that as there pretty bad but who knows i might not get a wicket and his bats might lose all there stamina n score slow...

 

[brenoevo]

Just took a wicket that over, its looking close so far
End of Over 10: 70-1, runrate=7.00, reqrunrate=7.00 (349-3)
Joyce 5-0-44-1
Duggan* 1 (2 balls)
Wheat 37 (37 balls)

 

[Robertinho]

Hahaha wow, Whenuapai CC are S.T. Ruggling

End of Over 17: 98-2, runrate=5.76, reqrunrate=7.64 (349-3)
Hamilton 4-0-16-1
Lennon* 2 (4 balls)
Duggan 11 (12 balls)

As are the Robertinho Select XI... ****
