CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

[Adamc]

Yeah, your bowlers didn't disgrace themselves, had us tied down for the first 30 overs or so.

Not happy with Trev bad-mouthing my batting lineup tbh, will try to get a new batsman in before the weekend, or before the final in any case (if I get there).

End of Over 50: 242-3, runrate=4.84
Lambert 10-0-42-0
Bhutia* 64 (56 balls)
Mcmillan 29 (23 balls)
Last Wicket: Wolfenden c. Lambert b. Hyde 4 (FOW: 178/3)

Bit too far out of my reach unless Dylan and Keane put on 150+

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

End of Over 31: 168-0, runrate=5.42, reqrunrate=3.95 (242-3)
Mcmillan 6-0-21-0
Dylan* 91 (99 balls)
Keane 75 (87 balls)

Well well....

 

[Bobisback]

You would lose with the old ME.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Still will now.

36.3 W Mcmillan to Dylan
Well that's a suicidal piece of running between the wickets. Dylan really had no chance of making that run.

Nice way to get out on 97, suicidal run. Stupid.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Wow, did it in a canter. What a knock from Keane and a ripping partnership with Dylan (as usual tbh).

And that's the end of the match. Central Districts won by 8 wickets.
Anchormen 242-3
Central Districts 244-2

End of Over 44: 244-2, runrate=5.55
Appleyard 6-0-64-0
Keane* 128 (130 balls)
Shaka 11 (9 balls)

 

[chaminda_00]

I'll see you in the final Smitty...

End of Over 28: 95-6, runrate=3.39
Kelly 2-0-10-0
Watkins* 28 (46 balls)
Whitehorne 1 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Wilde c. Clayton b. Sishayi 0 (FOW: 90/6)

In four seasons when I get a batting line up

I'm proof you don't need a batting lineup.

 

[chaminda_00]

You have three batsmen, I have two.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

3.5 itbt.

 

[Adamc]

Might still win but deserve to lose, pretty abysmal batting effort even with a feeble batsman at no. 3.

 

[nibbs]

go jaffna go

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

End of Over 21: 82-3, runrate=3.90, reqrunrate=3.76 (190-7)
Watkins 4-0-17-0
Muralitharan* 28 (40 balls)
Quintin 48 (73 balls)
Last Wicket: Lucas c. Ashton b. Lancaster 0 (FOW: 12/3)

f00lins to quit BT when he loses IMO.

 

[nibbs]

can i just say adam that while there is no questioning me as the undisputed champion of chopper challenge, it seems you deserve some recognition for your chicken ability. congratulations

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

End of Over 45: 173-5, runrate=3.84, reqrunrate=3.60 (190-7)
Whitehorne 8-1-45-0
Hilton* 18 (16 balls)
Muralitharan 83 (104 balls)
Last Wicket: Cramar b. Gradley 2 (FOW: 121/5)

Wow. Tharmi was dead but these two have pulled him back. Massive upset on the cards.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

46.5 W Whitehorne to Sishayi
Gone! Nifty glove work by Ashton and Sishayi is left in a complete pickle outside his crease.
46.4 W Whitehorne to Kelly
Bowled him! Terrible judgement from Kelly - it was far too close to cut and he pays the price.

Wow. 6 runs needed, 2 wickets in hand. Come on Tharmi!

 

[chaminda_00]

So close but so far

And that's the end of the match. Asterix XI won by 5 runs.
Asterix XI 190-7
Jaffna Jets 185-10

Dammit! Useless Sri Lankans.

 

[Nate]

Haha, what a thriller. Needed to do better with them 95/6.

 

[Adamc]

Bad luck Tharmeh. Looked like you had it won before the late collapse.

Overpaid for a new WK/batsman to hopefully prevent a repeat batting performance next week.
