Stumped!

[StephenZA]

MTOs continuing to work on their fielding with two early runouts against Schmaltzberg. But Steenkamp taking a liking to Kock... and scoring some easy runs!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Cornelius Human is fine playing the long game...he's building an innings here. Lots of dots for him though, meanwhile Riaan De Villiers coming hot off the blocks.

 

[StephenZA]

Looks like Burger remembered how to take wickets? Good performance from MTOs. See if the batting has improved!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

A decent start by the Mooo openers in their pursuit of 214.

After 10 overs, they are 44 without loss

Could we see two upset runchases in the same night?

 

[StephenZA]

Where did that slog come from Reid?

Where did that slog come from Reid?

Seems like he's tired but also got his eye in, so he's going to try and bomb a few before the exhaustion sinks in.

 

[StephenZA]

Davidson still a bit of a slogger...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Could we see two upset runchases in the same night?

Fingers crossed on this. This is an impressive start by the guys. But when we are talking about Mooo, there's always a possibility of a collapse.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Both openers are back in the pavilion. And this pair needs to up the rate...which is getting close to 6.00

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Winton has not scored a run in the last 9 balls he's faced. Worrying signs.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Schmaltzberg is in a bad rut...wonder whether that Khalid guy has told us all he knows yet

 

[StephenZA]

One of MTOs best batting performances and games in general. Very pleased.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So 55 to get in the last 10 overs with 8 wickets in hand.


Come on Mooooo!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Mooo finally pulled it off. Winning by 1 wicket against GG CC. This is only their 2nd win against this much more celebrated team.
It was really tense at the end as Ernst Levy triggered a collapse in what seemed a relatively comfortable chase...

Richard McCormack was able to rally the fightback by the tail by playing with an attacking mindset. He finished unbeaten on 12 along with Short who hit the winning runs.

It was a sweet win because Moo's been on the receiving end of this rivalry for the majority of the games...and also the heartbreak of yesterday's DEV game where they lost by 1 wicket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I think the C. Human's innings was too slow on this wicket. He's not used to batting so sluggish.

Interesting low-scoring Dev between me and @JOJOXI. I had them 6-68, Steve Ludlow with 4 wickets and Ghous Saadi with 2 run outs. Then came a seventh-wicket partnership of 73 (95) between Bhautik Bai and Faisal Jawad, before the innings fizzled out to 169 all out, Ludlow nabbing a fiver (5-18 off 8 overs) off the scheduled last ball of the innings. Rusty Frost got a few quick, key wickets, 3-39 for him.

Not much came from my batters. Ghous Saadi top-scored the match to complement his fielding with 45 (65), and Kurt Murdoch resisted for 25 (55), but not much else. Good all-round bowling performance for Winton, Nuwan Soosaipillai destroying my top-order (3-14), and Muchaneta Gwacela clearing out my tail (4-19). Yosuke Glenn also chimed in with 2-16. Rolled for 123.

Afzal Mohiuddin's 18* (17) was his highest score for the club, coming off a dry patch (see below). 18 skill should yield better results, but I suppose gung-ho and heavy defence skew don't combine well.

 

[ataraxia]

50 batting average? Yeah right. Worst Bangladeshi pull yet?

50 batting average? Yeah right. Worst Bangladeshi pull yet?

Horrible when this happens...
