135-0 after 17 overs against a new takeover team - hoping to get 400

Anyone beat that, Bazza?

[Bazzaboy]

Not quite, could only manage 127-1 off 17 lol

[Ironside]

End of Over 29: 108-2, runrate=3.72

was looking good against tractors XI


but 14 off the 31 over has turned it too

End of Over 32: 137-2, runrate=4.28


there batsmen are starting to take off after i had them under pressure for so long

i do think i have the batsmen to chase 250 though on this pitch so i just got to regain control

[divaflava]

236-0 after 34, both openers have run out of stamina and the run rate's crashed to 3-4 an over. Feels weird hoping your side's batsmen get out! Yesss, as I type this Castle's gone lbw for 108. 

34.6 6 Gilvarry to Virgo
    The crowd always enjoy the big hits, great shot.
34.5 W Gilvarry to Castle
    Fantastic bowling! The arm ball beats Castle and hits his pad right in front of middle. The umpire raises the finger straight away.

That should get the run rate moving again

[Bongo]

41.2 6 Bhutia to Karthikeyan
Cover those windows and lock up your daughters, Karthikeyan is on the attack!!!

All I can say is... AT LAST!

Played around with the order a little today - trying to get some more cheap runs for my trainee batters before promotion and they could be a bit harder to get, didn't really work so well.

End of Over 42: 199-2, runrate=4.74

250 should be defendable in this weather though!

[Ironside]

tractor your a barsteward

i just noticed you changed the pitch to dusty it was green when i checked on wednessday so i dropped my young spinning alrounder and brought in a LF with no batting

[Bongo]

it could have been green on it's way to Dusty you know

[booder]

from  171/4 to 172/8                 not helped by more poor umpiring decisions



45.3 W Hendro to Easton
    Thick inside edge onto the pads, Hendro has the cheek to appeal..... The umpire's given it! Unbelievable, he's practically middled that one! Huge show of dissent from Easton there, he'll be lucky to keep his full match fee.

[Ironside]

i told him last week or week before to change it to dusty as he had a good spin attack thats why i checked before picking my team

it was green last time i played him i played with 2 spinners then

then he waits for me to pick my team and changes it the barsteward

(my own fault really as it takes 2 days to change from green to dusty)

[Ironside]

boode poor umpiring going to be your excuse when i take your chips at bB4?

[Ironside]

looks like i could be chasing 270 not sure i can do that

[booder]

proberly




180 all out  ( hangs head in shame)

[Ironside]

End of Over 50: 263-5, runrate=5.26 gonna struggle on a spinners pitch to reach that total but i think i'll do it with 4 balls to spare

[divaflava]

End of Over 50: 362-4, runrate=7.24
Jackson 10-0-64-2
Kerwin* 167 (144 balls)
Tzaneen 11 (8 balls)


Thought we could've got more than that, still Kerwin carries his bat for the 4th time this season

Now, to skittle them out before the 5th bowler comes on

[Nakor]

Chasing 247 for promotion.
