Finally got the break through

36.4 W Waygood to Lindsay : A little movement from the pitch and middle stump goes cartwheeling. Lindsay just can't believe it!
A. Lindsay b. S. Waygood 63 (107b 3x4 0x6) SR:58.88

[8-6 Suited]

Son of a dog...

32.5   W   Rao to McCarthy : Missing off, missing leg, hitting middle halfway up.
J. McCarthy lbw b. J. Rao 93 (104b 10x4 3x6) SR:89.42

Nervous 90's strike. :(

Thanks CF. Having a defensive opener, and a defensive captain helped me in the time when I lost wickets. You've got one gun of a bowler.

[Fletch74]

Your gun bowler, Orange has 4 wickets now CF. You maybe should have had him on earlier when the match was in the balance...

[CrowsFan]

Yeah perhaps, I wish you could change tactics during the match depending on what was happening.

I am a big fan of Orange, one of the first players I bought. He has reliable bowling and technique, and since he is gifted for power I am now training that hoping to turn him into a beast of a FM bowler :)

[CrowsFan]

Fletch wins by 4 wickets.
MOTM goes to Orange who took 4 for 31 in a losing side.

2 - Johnny McCarthy - 93 from 104 with the bat including 10 fours and 3 sixes, great knock.
