Not many on my MSN right now - 4 active out of 50.

Soon to be 3. Night, Dan.

 

[bryce]

I'm interested

 

[Loony BoB]

I think I'll go watch a movie anyway.

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Im on along with bugs, thommo and Simon... waht about a sim for us

 

[Simon]

why does it have to be a live sim anyway? im sure most people prefer to just come onto the forum and see the result today rather than wait till tomorrow for a live sim...

 

[kears_falcon_9]

I agree with Simon on this one. Although a Live Sim is great fun when it tends to push a scheduale way out a normal sim is fine. We arleady miss over a quarter of the dev league season from this your so the more live sims we have to more it will stagger on.

Ohh and im sure a live sim is way more work on your behalf Liam.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Regarding pushing the schedule, even if I were to sim the game now, it would still be about a day and a half ahead of schedule, but yes, live sims are way more work/hassle.

 

[kears_falcon_9]

ahh k i thought we were behind.. so will this test be simmed or live simed?

I think Live sims are a good idea....but sometimes it is nicer to just see the results without waiting....
activitiy doesn't seem to be that high atm so it's probably not worth doing a live sim (although give it a few hours and more people might be on etc)

Over 46
Edwards is back for his third spell. Aside from a 13-run over, he's been pretty sharp today.

Over 45
44.1 Bravo to DeSilva: pitched right up and driven down to longoff and they run hard for 1 run.
44.2 Bravo to Hoy: low full toss and he hit it hard to longon... one bounce... 1 run.
44.3 Bravo to DeSilva: late cut to backward point and they scramble a single.
44.4 Bravo to Hoy: YORKER! He dug it out and the run through for a quick single.
44.5 Bravo to DeSilva: lofted straight! He just couldn't get that one in the blockhole and DeSilva has smashed him back overhead for FOUR!
44.6 Bravo to DeSilva: driven past extra cover and they'll get a single with Gayle out there.

 

[Loony BoB]

Tough climb to get 283. Confident we can do it though, but we'll need to pick up that scoring rate...

Good stuff by Hoy early on, though.

 

[steds]

Markus. What a guy.

 

[Pratters]

Tough ask. Keep at it guys.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Real test for the batsmen, this. 6/101 from the Nathans...that leaves 1/181 for the others...

 

[Loony BoB]

Still confident we can make this.

 

[Pratters]

Steep task now..

 

[Loony BoB]

80 runs off 60 balls? Not that steep.

EDIT: 49 off 36 with 4 wickets remaining now, still very doable..

 

[Pratters]

4 wickets remaining worries me. I hope we show are battling qualities and get this one despite a tough ask.

 

[Pratters]

Great to hang in there guys. Keep at it!

 

[Loony BoB]

Don't underestimate Hoy. He may bat low but he's a solid allrounder.
