CW Battrick Cup, season ten

[Robertinho]

Don't want to get ahead of myself, but if Keane and Dylan can stay in for another 60-80 runs I'll win here. Massive effort from new-boy Holt bundled Anchormen out for 191. Holt finished with figures of 7/28 from 7.1 overs.

Currently 0/57 after 11 overs.

Yeah, struggling at the moment. None of my bats really fired... Hyde got both Gray and Bhutia pretty cheaply and it was S.T. Ruggleville from there. Keane and (until recently) Dylan have batted really well in the chase too.

Yeah Hyde getting a few is a bit suss. He'll be a great player in the future but at the moment isn't really good enough to be knocking over players of Bhutia's calibre. Still nervous as I'm really two batsmen short, Conn is all I've got left. If Campbell can hang around long enough for Keane to put it beyond doubt I'll be happy.

And that's the end of the match. Central Districts won by 8 wickets.
Anchormen 191-10
Central Districts 192-2

Top win.

Somehow even though I swear i had put my orders to rights. My reserve wicketkeeper was bowling instead of my 2nd seam bowler. But anyway, props to Greg.

good lord, what the hell happened there. Hopefully the mods can fix that.

Haha wow, they actually got bowled out? Must've been one hell of a collapse.

Surprised it took so long for the collaspe to start. Usually starts from ball one, not over 38. Feels so weird to have runs to defend, though I reckon we have to bowl you out to have any chance. Can't see us defending it in 50 overs.

 

[Agent TBY]

My bowling kinda sucks, though.

Two wickets and you're home, even if one of Mohammed or Chanderpaul's left standing.

5.2 	W	Canning to Reed
 	 	The bowler had Reed feeling for that one, who drove on the up to Potgieter at extra cover, straight into the midriff and the fielder juggled it twice, before holding on.
5.1 	W	Canning to Marshall
 	 	He called for the run and then midway realised he didn't want it. It's like throwing a drowning man both ends of the rope! Run out.

End of Over 5: 27-0, runrate=5.40
Fernando	3-0-24-0
Marshall*	11 (9 balls)
Mcgregor	15 (21 balls)

Reed goes first ball to Canning, stoked. Still got Sandwith and the rest to deal with though.

Do I not like that!

Need Sandwith to stay in, as usual. Hope Fishy and Buckers can back him up.

I forgot to set my orders against the Cymru Gurgitaters (in fact I forgot about the match), and I've just logged on and beheld the following:

We can tell you that Beard XI won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this partially cloudy day.

End of Over 16: 44-7, runrate=2.75
Gill 3-0-5-1
Mohammed* 1 (9 balls)
Bewers 0 (8 balls)
Last Wicket: Lombard b. Marriott 6 (FOW: 43/7)

Wasn't expecting that, it's fair to say.

 

[superkingdave]

Started well against Morpork reducing them to 48/5 but Porter taking it away from me now

 

[chaminda_00]

Haha Sriram won by 1 wicket or 1 ball.

Good match mate.

Haha yeah, that was crazy. I wonder how Barrow scored 15 runs with the match on the line while letting Makwetla face only 2 balls. Fantastic stuff.

 

[Bobisback]

Beat Got Spin quite comfortably in the end.

EDIT: looking good for the Semi Finals too.

 

[Dead Badger]

Chasing 60 - 13 runs have never looked so far away:

End of Over 13: 47-4, runrate=3.62, reqrunrate=0.38 (60-10)
Katleho 2-0-10-1
Platt* 13 (23 balls)
Alshaun 8 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Boardley c. Wilde b. Katleho 2 (FOW: 35/4)

Edit - not any more:

And that's the end of the match. Beard XI won by 6 wickets.
Cymru Gurgitaters 60-10
Beard XI 61-4

Blow me down with a feather.

Looks like Hurren's snail pace at the start of the innings might come back to hurt me.

End of Over 38: 164-3, runrate=4.32, reqrunrate=8.00 (259-4)
Brooker 9-0-50-1
Canning* 16 (20 balls)
Terry 78 (86 balls)
Last Wicket: Tedstone b. Brooker 8 (FOW: 129/3)

Still, if any pair can do it it's these two.

 

[Bobisback]

End of Over 45: 208-8, runrate=4.62, reqrunrate=10.40 (259-4)
Gibb 8-0-35-5
Terry* 97 (100 balls)
Erasmus 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Fernando c. Fish b. Gibb 0 (FOW: 208/8)

Was looking forward to a ponies pillars semi too
