Maybe you need more stamina in your Top 4, so that they can bat deep and set a platform. If they're getting starts and then slowing down/getting out due to exhaustion it just kills your momentum. Reid and Shree aren't quite fit enough yet, and you got unlucky that Thundayal got run out.
Yeah. Little things like that I’m learning. But also some of my later batsmen just seem to get out quickly. Good starts then lose wickets in clumps.
 
Things have been quiet for the last 2-3 overs.

And over at the newly expanded GG CG, the hosts are batting first against archrival, Mooo. Eight and a half thousand have congregated at this magnificent new stadium to watch this match.

GG are 79/1 after 13 overs. Bram Human is the man gone for a run-a-ball 23, Sajjad Rabbani (drafted out of GG and played most of his matches for that club) is the wicket taker.
 
Sutherland had to make 15 in the final over to reach his 100. He got there off the penultimate ball...and still took 20 off the over.

A brilliant knock from him. He ends on 105*(95) with 11 fours and 3 sixes.

290 is the target and I think Mooo might chase this down.
 
Mooo absolutely bossed that chase of 290 against GG CC. It was done and dusted in 43 overs.

Now, the competition just got tighter against @ataraxia
Wermelskircher is putting on a Glenn McGrath-esque bowling performance here. Miserly.
I have a feeling that ACC will finish on 250 or thereabouts. They have lots of wickets in hand for the onslaught.
 
An excellent last over bowled by Nazar Jawad, conceding only 3 runs and picking up a wicket.
Ataraxia finish on 232/8 with du Preez top scoring with 83 off 120 (did he bat too slow?), Nicky Clift with 40 off 59. The next best was captain Shaffeey who hit 32(49).

Can Mooo chase this down? I’m not too confident, even though they chased 290 easily earlier in the day. It’s a much stronger opponent.

Our side witnessing another great innings played against us - Tony Chung making 110 of 85 in a total of 189-9 for FHK. Chung was dismissed at 154-4, 110 of those by Chung, 4 by wides and the other 40 by the other batsman.

Our bowler Muchaneta Gwacela got career-best figures of 6/23.

However, in response we are in tatters at 39/4 after 12 overs.

Yea tale of two great performances in that first innings, Chung and Gwacela.

Bit of a recovery now by Jacob Jennings and Faisal Jawad but quite a mountain to climb. 88 needed in 12 overs with 5 wickets in hand.

Killer partnership. Just something odd that I noticed. 150-0 (30) is an incredibly textbook start. What's odder is that the equation from then on was 83 runs off 120 balls... Jan du Preez' exact innings. A wicket the next ball, but looks pretty straightforward from now in.
