Twenty20 Cup Round 7
Ninjas v Mathemagicians
In a battle of the bottom Mathemagicians overcame Ninjas despite a good unbeaten innings by Rob Bowen. Mathemagicians received innings of 89 from Matt Luff and Morgan Burridge, which were the overwhelming contributions to a total of 180-3. Luff was unbeaten and hit 5 fours and 2 sixes in an innings that featured a lot of sharp running between the wickets. At the opposite end of the hitting spectrum, Burridge relied on power and collected 5 sixes and 4 boundaries. Andy Cameron was by far the most impressive bowler, taking 3 wickets in his spell. Also of note was James Nixon, however, bowling with accuracy and decent pace, though wicketless.
Needing to score at 9 per over from the start, Ninjas looked to Mike Wilson for some big hits. He did so by lofting the first ball back overhead for four, but proceeded to struggle in an innings of 18 before he was bowled by the pacy Josh Forner. Chaulk and Bowen attempted to take control of the run chase, but they were largely hindered by the expert economy of Neil Pickup in the middle overs. As the required rate increased it became clear that drastic measures were needed. Those efforts resulted in chaos initially, with a mix-up accounting for the run out of Chaulk. The CW Black opener scored 67 from 46 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes. The requirement was down to 30 from 11 balls, and that task proved far too great for the remaining batsmen. Dylan Cole chanced his arm, only missing a Manan Shah yorker and bowled without scoring. Then Fuller took over but could not get going immediately, and despite a six by Bowen in the final over, it was not nearly enough to salvage a Ninjas win.

Rabid Wolves
Butterflies fluttered in throats and hearts in stomachs in West Robbham, as Rabid Wolves sneaked home over Turistas to book a semi-final spot. It was a tense encounter characteristic of the tournament, resulting in a 3-wicket win for the home team. Dave Richards, so often impressive with the ball in recent matches, came through with the bat with the game on the line.
Turistas were asked to bat first after Kev Gough won the toss. The Rabid Wolves poor bowling form matched up against the Turistas poor batting form, but the former was turned around. Gough and Raghav were excellent up front and inspired the rest of the bowling attack to a disciplined team effort. Again John Heads was the shining light for Turistas, though only marginally so, with a top score of 28. He hit Richards for a six down the ground and threatened to take control, but fell to a soft dismissal against Pollard in the end- Heads chipped a simple catch to midwicket. Turistas struggled to accelerate at any point in the innings and ultimately managed only a modest 120-6.
Even such a small target proved difficult for the Wolves. The fielders took advantage of some horrendous running initially, then the spinners took advantage of a slow pitch to apply some pressure. Batting star Mørk flattered with a six and a four, but ran past a Gundry delivery that did not turn and was stumped for 20. Sam Morris was more reserved and cautious in scoring 23 from 31 balls, though he fell to an injudicious slog to the deep. Xavier Rose took the catch and his team was still in the game with 13 needed by Rabid Wolves. Time was never an issue, however, so Sean Bennett and Dave Richards approached the chase with some confidence. It was such a confident effort, in fact, that Richards scored consecutive boundaries in his 3-ball stay, winning the game with the second one.
Turistas innings 120-6 (20 overs)
JJD Heads 28 (16), M Corrin 20 (22)
SA Bennett 2-23 (3)
Rabid Wolves innings 121-7 (17.3 overs)
DK Rai 27 (21), SC Morris 23 (31)
DR Smith 2-21 (2)
Rabid Wolves won by 3 wickets.
Man of the Match: DR Smith
Upper Body v ****atoos
Two newfound rivals, Upper Body met ****atoos in East Robbham for a titanic clash with a semi-final spot on the line. And true to the hype, the game went down to the last over before it was decided. Home captain Nath Patrick called correctly and asked ****atoos to bat first. He then took the new ball and proceeded to squander it, bowling several full tosses in a poor opening spell of 2-0-21-0. At the other end Liam Camps kept Rob Dauth quiet with a decidedly more accurate and good looking performance. The opening partnership managed 61 within 6 overs before Robertson picked Darren Murphy out on the cover boundary. Rob Malone took his place at the crease on the back of some excellent batting form, but he was met by the inspired choice of Jack McNamara and struggled to get going as the innings was stalled. Patrick returned to take his wicket and in the 15th over ****atoos were struggling on 99-3.
Some enterprising batting by Zac Ritchie and David Kearsley and a quickfire partnership later, ****atoos moved up to a competitive 168-3 to keep their championship dreams alive. As he has done so often in this tournament, Kearsley turned his team's fortunes with the bat, striking the ball cleanly in a boundary-laden innings of 40 from 18 balls.
It was game on then as Upper Body took their turn at the crease. Dan Smith and Chris Dwyer began their first opening partnership of the Cup, and did well against the early bowling. They added 48 and Smith took most of the strike before he was out at the start of the 6th over. Heath Davis took the wicket and bowled his team right back into the game due to a stunning catch a ball later. Robertson was the fielder at short fine leg and he took a good one-handed catch to ruin Murphy's attempts at an improvised paddle sweep. Jay Gonzalez entered and continued to keep Dwyer away from the strike. Inevitably the opener played a frustrated swipe and was caught in the deep by Tarick Weber. Just 56 balls remained in the game and 89 were needed, so it was clear that the game would go down to the wire.
Bosco Fitzsimmons joined Gonzalez with a view to being a hero. He tucked into Davis with a pull shot that sailed over midwicket, then boldly stepped down the track to make a full toss and clobbered Davis back overhead for six more. Words were shared and tears shed, but Fitzsimmons stuch to his task with a reverse sweep for four to end the over. The last laugh was to be had by offspinner Ritchie, or his CW Red teammate Rob Dauth to be more precise. The wicketkeeper showed terrific reflexes to stump Gonzalez after he missed an ugly slog. Dauth remained in the action over the next few overs, taking two catches as ****atoos pulled the game back to par. It was a dramatic Upper Body collapse that saw 4 wickes fall for 22 runs. Upper Body still needed 8 from the last over with Camps on strike. But for all the rugged good looks of the man, he could not get bat on a reverse-swinging yorker by Wright- lbw for a duck. It was then left to Patrick to play a captain's innings and bring the game home. He took guard to the jeers of his opposing number, moving from mid-off to short third man to get his sledging in. As Wright ran in Patrick held animated conversations with himself, willing himself to meet the challenge.
After the first ball shaved his offstump, Patrick shifted his guard from leg to middle, and shuffled across to the next ball and flicked it fine to the boundary. Everyone but Patrick looked stunned by the result. Wright had some words with his captain and then returned for another delivery- a yorker that Patrick dug out. Game on again with 4 needed from the final 2 balls. Patrick turned his back on the mouthy Davis, but only came face to face with the equally talkative Ritchie. The fifth ball was another attempted yorker and Patrick stepped back and flashed hard. The ball flew off the edge and to the high right of Davis, who went one-handed, but could neither take the catch nor stop a game-ending boundary. The win took Upper Body into the final four and left ****atoos dashing to the dressing room to watch the end of the Dazzlers v. Masters XI game, which was delayed by 15 minutes.

Dazzlers v Masters XI
Brian Lara and his Masters XI arrived in Davistow to play the first truly meaningful game since the team's entry at the start of Season XIII. His team stood a chance at making the semi-final round of the Cup, but needed at least a win over Davistow Dazzlers, preferably with some authority. It was then no surprise that Lara stuck to the toss tactics that have brought his team so much success recently. Upon winning the toss he elected to insert the opposition and hoped for continued good form by the bowlers.
That performance was forthcoming, headed this time by Lance Klusener, showing his limited overs expertise. After a good start by the openers - 37 runs in the first 5 overs - Klusener enticed Daniel Towns into a loose drive, caught for 21. That success was complemented extraordinarily by a clever slower ball that dealt for James Stedman (0) before he had scored. The big wicket was celebrated appropriately, but that celebration was muted briefly by Chris Butler and his array of cover drives. He played 4 of them for boundaries in a cameo of 22 off 11 balls, but when his partner perished for 26 the floodgates opened again. Klusener devastated the middle order as he went on to take 5-35. Young Tom Delonge was allowed little freedom due to circumstance and instead guided Dazzlers to 131-9 with 25 not out.
The second innings began with Dazzlers needing to defend one of the tournament's lowest first innings to ensure their survival in the tournament. And key to that was the wicket of Klusener. That came in the third over, but by then Zulu had hit 2 sixes and scored 18 runs. Samit Patel arrived to participate in a second wicket partnership of 26. The visitors looked to progress with few difficulties toward the target. Clapham was made to reconsider his strategy and came up with a bowling partnership of Zac Gelman and Chris Schofield as his first response. It was a move of brilliance as it saw the the innings capitulate from 50-1 to 61-4. Clapham, the opportunist, returned with Travis Demeza complementary and wickets continued to fall as pressure mounted. Lara faced up to Gelman on 36 and having guided his team to 95-7. The next two balls disappeared to the cover boundary with classic flair and the hundred was raised with Masters XI still marginally ahead. Gelman shifted around the wicket and reaped instant rewards. The ball swung through the air and hit Lara on the toe, and as the great man fell to the ground, the umpire's finger went up.
Celebrations were reminiscent of the Stedman wicket earlier in the game and they only settled briefly before Shane Warne kicked things off again. The Masters XI vice-captain sensed some urgency in the air an tried to slog sweep Butler in the following over. But he only succeeded in skying the ball upward and Towns took a good catch. Some called it irresponsible strokeplay and it left the equation at 27 needed from 21 balls with 1 wicket left in the game. News of a ****atoos defeat arrived at the ground, so the Dazzlers had extra incentive to try to preserve an all CWLand final four. Clapham knew his team was safely in the semi-final but also that a win would secure the top spot. The fielders stayed on their toes and bowlers charged in, but the pressure was eased by Saqlain Mushtaq, slog sweeping Schofield for six. The crowd was stunned, but what happened next left them in silence. Saqlain stepped out and hit a low full toss deep into the midwicket stands for six more. Suddenly the impossible was possible and much was left to Demeza to try to close out the game.
Masters XI still required 9 runs when the big left-armer began his final over. The first ball was duly tucked away for 1 run by Henderson, so the heroic Saqlain was on strike. The ball took the outside edge and flew past Dubb-Lynch and away to the boundary, bringing the deficit down to 4. Another careful discussion between Demeza and Clapham ensued and the bowler elected to stay over the wicket for a crucial 3rd delivery. Once again he charged in and fired in his best yorker. Saqlain, alert to the situation squeezed down on it and felt the inside edge take the ball past legstump and away for the winning runs. The competition boiled down to the calculators to decide the semi-finalists.
Dazzlers innings 131-9 (20 overs)
S Young 26 (26), T Delonge 25* (33), DP Towns 21 (16)
L Klusener 5-35 (4)
Masters XI innings 133-9 (18.3 overs)
BC Lara 44 (44), Saqlain Mushtaq 20* (6)
TJ Demeza 2-20 (3.3)
Masters XI won by 1 wicket.

Would show the tables, but that would ruin the results. And those write-ups took forever with a 5-setter and an ODI going on.

A big set of partially rusty rollocks.
Nnnnnnnnnaannnndennnn Patrick scoring the winning runs off Kyle Wright? Unbelievable. Good to get one over on m'Skip at the Blacks, but frankly I overbowled myself. Pathetic. Give Kearsley the New Ball. He's Da Man.
Where the ****'s the table? If I've calculated correctly, the respective net run rates should be little changed (we lost narrowly, Masters won narrowly) and hence the ****s should be through as we had a good, solid net run rate. It'd be good to get confirmation though.
Hmnmm... Just checked, the run rates were very close. Will be a nailbiter. If the ****s are out, then just like Sinead O'Connor, I'll be shedding a little tear as nothing compares to this.
IN FACT as the ****s beat the Masters, shouldn't that be taken into account before net run rate? Might have to appeal to the CWLand Committee if the ****s are knocked out.

I make it to be slightly different.
Did that pretty quickly during the 4th set though, so it could be slightly wrong.

GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! **** you, **** me and **** the ****s. Other than that, I would like to appeal on the grounds of the team being Fabulous. See below. We ****ed the Masters. Should be solid grounds for appeal.I make it to be slightly different.

I never saw anything about the NRR being the primary criteria anyway. That's my story - and I'm sticking to it.
Humph.

I may have ****ed up the net run rates in the excitement of Wimbledon. Would be willing to review it, but would prefer that someone else does.

I doubt you'd have ****ed it up, to be honest. Just a bit poo that we beat both the Dazzlers and the Masters and come 5th below both of 'em on NRR. In some other (Note: Rare) competitions, results between teams are taken before other criteria.
Clutching at straws though. Mainly feel guilty for getting taken to the cleaners; without which we'd be through. Gutted for the team.
