Battrick - free online cricket management game

And the sledging begins......

2.1    .   Sabata to Lungile
        Nothing special about the delivery, but the keeper looked to have said something to Lungile that unsettled him. Thabiso is winning the battle here.

[Bongo]

Not a very exciting game at the minute, is it?

[Wardonkey]

Was I supposed to be playing someone? Sorry, I've been busy this week and my internet connection has been very dodgy....

I hastily arranged a friendly with a new team yesterday after no-one had challenged me.

I'm giving my reserves a run out, they scored 274 and have the oppo at 68-3 after 15 overs.

Don't know what you mean.  Surely dot balls are the future of cricket!

20.3    .   Jennings to Mclean
        Fullish, straight ball, a little uncertainly drawn forward in defence, taken on the front pad and the ball balloons up in close on the off side.
20.2    .   Jennings to Mclean
        Floated up full outside off stump, swings across the line at it, chopping an inside edge into the ground, rolls up towards mid on.
20.1    .   Jennings to Mclean
        Great stop by the cover fielder, no run taken.

End of Over 20: 98-0, runrate=4.90, reqrunrate=6.23 (284-8)
Wheeler   5-1-20-0
Mclean*   60 (42 balls)
Lungile   35 (79 balls)
19.6    .   Wheeler to Lungile
        Great stop! Saved a certain four!
19.5    .   Wheeler to Lungile
        Fielding! Shortish ball outside off stump, the batsman plays a cut shot into the deck, the ball bounces up high and backward point does rather well to leap up and grab it one-handed above his head.
19.4    .   Wheeler to Lungile
        Lungile played for the stock delivery, but it went the other way. Lungile didn't read Wheeler's action at all there.
19.3    .   Wheeler to Lungile
        Squared up the batsman, managed to push it back down the ground.
19.2    .   Wheeler to Lungile
        Leaves well alone.
19.1    .   Wheeler to Lungile
        Wheeler cuts off his appeal early as he dashes up the wicket to prevent the leg bye. Not out by the way.

[Sheriff Fatman]

I'm planning to fine Mclean for putting Lungile back on strike so quickly.

26.2    1   Jennings to Mclean
        Gently worked around to deep backward square for an easy single.
26.1    .   Jennings to Mclean
        Shortish ball outside off stump. The batsman cuts hard at it but only succeeds in getting a bottom edge.

End of Over 26: 116-0, runrate=4.46, reqrunrate=7.04 (284-8)
Mullins   8-1-45-0
Mclean*   64 (56 balls)
Lungile   44 (101 balls)
25.6    .   Mullins to Lungile
        That's outside off-stump, Lungile left it, and he looks a bit disappointed that it's not been called a wide.
25.5    .   Mullins to Lungile
        Good ball! Shortish ball angling in. He plays down on it late in defence as it comes back a long way.
25.4    .   Mullins to Lungile
        Look at that! He's giving the batsman the stare! He is some character, Mullins.
25.3    .   Mullins to Lungile
        Shortish ball on off stump. He stands tall on the crease and forces it down to point in defence.
25.2    .   Mullins to Lungile
        Tight shortish ball on off stump, forward, solidly defending down into the covers.
25.1    .   Mullins to Lungile
        Fullish ball just outside off stump, well forward, deflects it away to backward point in defence.

[Sheriff Fatman]

Says it all really............

27.6    .   Mullins to Lungile
        Solid defence from Lungile as he has one eye on the run rate. Maybe he should have two eyes on it?
