Ritula seems to have found his niche for Daz now that he's gotten rid of That Flowering Cow who scored two centuries against me (Masood)

21.5   W   Junior to Walsh : [catch] Short of a good length delivery on the middle and leg stump line. Walsh looks to work it away through mid-wicket but fails to keep it down and the strategically placed Srimal at short mid-wicket holds on well to a fairly hard chance.
F. Walsh c K. Srimal b. S. Junior 43 (73b 3x4 1x6) SR:58.90
YES! Needed that one, Walsh just hit Junior for 2 boundaries, one was a misfield.

[Alex7089]

22.1   W   Jackson to Crook : [catch] Wider ball that no one expected to be hit, but a rash swing from Crook draws the thick edge to Junior at gully.
F. Crook c S. Junior b. P. Jackson 13 (25b 0x4 0x6) SR:52.00

Happy to see him go for not much.

End of over 25 (6 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(95-3) RR 3.80
T. Bryant 6 (11b) , J. Vidur 0 (7b) , P. Jackson 3-1-7-1

27.1   W   Junior to Bryant : On the back foot, Bryant pokes at the ball outside off stump. Out, and I doubt we'll see a worse shot than that today.
T. Bryant c A. Collins b. S. Junior 16 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR:94.12
Good, he is out. Now I need Vidur & Manou and things are looking good.

34.2   W   Ramiah to Vidur : [catch] Charges down the track and sends this one high up into the sky. Srimal settles under it at long on and takes a comfortable catch.
J. Vidur c K. Srimal b. G. Ramiah 20 (33b 1x4 1x6) SR:60.61
Got Vidur. Now I just need Manou.

35.1   W   Jackson to Saitoti : [catch] Regulation catch for Yavar at first slip - a straight one from Jackson but Saitoti has played the wrong line and got the nick.
D. Saitoti c B. Yavar b. P. Jackson 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR:50.00
Meh, I'll take it.

36.4   W   Ramiah to Anderson : Shagmeister and Ramiah are vigorously appealing for a bat pad catch. The finger goes up, and Anderson is walking.
E. Anderson c W. Shagmeister b. G. Ramiah 1 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR:14.29
A chance to bowl Daz out. C'mon.

CF and I are playing a Youth Friendly today that we had been organising for sometime.

CF was batting on a Crumbling wicket.

End of over 37 (3 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(149-10) RR 4.03
J. Mathers 2 (5b) , K. Masinga 7-0-31-7

This was the last over from Masinga

36.6 W Masinga to Maloney : Missing off, missing leg, hitting middle halfway up.
R. Maloney lbw b. K. Masinga 2 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR:100.00

36.5 2 Masinga to Maloney : Runs here for Maloney. Ball was just back of a length and he's latched onto it, sending it through the midwicket region. Midwicket is deep and so the batsmen pick up 2.

36.4 W Masinga to Nevill : Yorked him! Great delivery. Nevill had backed away to make room, but cannot make contact and leg stump is uprooted!
W. Nevill b. K. Masinga 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

  That is 5 wickets for Masinga!

36.3 W Masinga to Davison : Slightly short and coming in with the angle, too good a delivery for Davison, who fails to get bat on ball and is caught plumb in front of the stumps.
S. Davison lbw b. K. Masinga 6 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR:85.71

36.2 1 Masinga to Mathers : Slashed through point. Third man does well to come around and cut it off. Keeps them to 1.

36.1 . Masinga to Mathers : Short of a length from Masinga and Mathers blocks it back to him comfortably.

Awesome stuff from Masinga ;D He's an 18yo cap/reas in accomplished form :)

Should be able to chase 150.

[Alex7089]

40.2   W   Pritchard to Ilango : Bowled him! A lone spectator in the crowd looks particularly upset at the outcome of that delivery. I can see a book in his hand that may lend a clue to his identity, "History's Greatest Shaftings".....
S. Ilango b. M. Pritchard 6 (10b 1x4 0x6) SR:60.00
Pritchard strikes again, he has been a huge problem for Daz.

40.5   W   Pritchard to De Blaauw : Pritchard's castled him!!! What a peach of a delivery. That's the sort of dismissal you cherish as a bowler. Good length and the ball seams in after pitching, leaving De Blaauw for dead and the ball takes out middle stump. Well bowled son!
L. De Blaauw b. M. Pritchard 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
Pritchard :-*
40.6   1   Pritchard to Taufel : [dropped] That was really a half chance, but good teams take those. Taufel chips down the track and tries to take Pritchard downtown over long-off boundary but succeeds only in lofting him high in the air. Shagmeister running back from mid-off had it covered well but drops it after doing all the hard work in reaching it.

Not only did you deny him a 4th wicket, you denied him a triple wicket maiden >:(

[Alex7089]

   End of over 42 (2 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(157-9) RR 3.74
E. Taufel 3 (7b) , D. Manou 19 (41b) , G. Ramiah 6-1-16-2

Could have avoided all of it ::)

End of over 43 (6 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(163-9) RR 3.79
E. Taufel 4 (9b) , D. Manou 23 (46b) , M. Pritchard 7-0-15-3

How is Taufel doing this. He is an atrocious batsman :P

[Alex7089]

   End of over 45 (2 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(166-9) RR 3.69
E. Taufel 4 (10b) , D. Manou 25 (57b) , M. Pritchard 8-0-17-3

This partnership is annoying me, although I must admit Manou is doing a very good job of farming the strike.

   End of over 46 (7 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(173-9) RR 3.76
E. Taufel 5 (12b) , D. Manou 31 (61b) , G. Ramiah 8-1-24-2

Yeah I am selling you Ramiah :P

End of over 47 (5 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(178-9) RR 3.79
E. Taufel 8 (14b) , D. Manou 33 (65b) , M. Pritchard 9-0-22-3

Oh, FFS, Sodumo (also an atroc/exp batsman) has never made a run in SOD or T20. How is Taufel doing this to me :'(

End of over 48 (3 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(181-9) RR 3.77
E. Taufel 8 (15b) , D. Manou 36 (70b) , G. Ramiah 9-1-27-2

3rd highest partnership in the innings, behind the first 2.

[8-6 Suited]

So anyone that needs a fast bowler want Kennedy Permaul? look at his League/Cup stats, they are pretty damn good. And he is cheap at 40k.

[Alex7089]

I can't believe there was a 10th wicket partnership of 40. On a dry wicket. Didn't even get the wicket o.O

[Alex7089]

15.4   W   De Blaauw to Vincent : When playing a forward defensive, it's important to keep the bat and pad together as they say. Well... they should definitely say to Vincent, schoolboy error and the stumps are re-arranged.
D. Vincent b. L. De Blaauw 39 (44b 3x4 1x6) SR:88.64
Not happy. 3 dots followed by that? Come one Darren.

End of over 16 (4 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(93-2). 102 runs required from 34 overs. RR 5.81 RRR 3.00
W. Shagmeister 4 (2b) , T. Jackman 36 (42b) , L. De Blaauw 3-0-9-1
Jackman is playing well again. His last 3 efforts for me - 155, 80* then this. Another 50 here would just be...

EDIT: 16.2   W   Saitoti to Jackman : Short ball, and hooked straight down the throat of the man in the deep! Out!
T. Jackman c F. Walsh b. D. Saitoti 36 (44b 2x4 2x6) SR:81.82
OH FFS. Why do I even speak?

Shagmeister needs to be the man now.

I really need to stop commenting on my players it is not the first time that has happened >:(

The RR will just die now. Shagmeister who is typically quite defensive and Yavar, who is on (D) :(

Need to make sure I don't lose wickets.

End of over 18 (1 run) - Feeling Sheepish(94-3). 101 runs required from 32 overs. RR 5.22 RRR 3.16
W. Shagmeister 4 (6b) , B. Yavar 1 (6b) , L. De Blaauw 4-0-10-1

1 run in 2 overs >> Not good enough.

[Fletch74]

CF has me on the ropes in our Youth game :o Must say, I didn't expect this, but a Crumbler is not my type of wicket in Youth's...

End of over 30 (4 runs) - Fletch's No Balls(111-6). 39 runs required from 10 overs. RR 3.70 RRR 3.90
O. Murray 3 (4b) , T. Tozer 1 (5b) , J. Mathers 7-1-29-3

Into my bowlers already!!

[Alex7089]

Ouch Fletch :o
Are any of your bowlers decent batsmen?

End of over 20 (6 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(103-3). 92 runs required from 30 overs. RR 5.15 RRR 3.07
B. Yavar 9 (16b) , W. Shagmeister 5 (8b) , L. De Blaauw 5-0-16-1

This is frustrating, De Blaauw is OK but with his exp I didn't expect this o.O

[Fletch74]

One is an Ord batsmen, the other poor that are there ATM. Then poor, dread, and dread to finish off.

You look safe, although anything is possible with Daz!

[Alex7089]

It surely is!
End of over 21 (11 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(114-3). 81 runs required from 29 overs. RR 5.43 RRR 2.79
B. Yavar 13 (18b) , W. Shagmeister 12 (12b) , D. Saitoti 6-1-31-1
More overs like that would be handy :P

They are pretty good for youths so I reckon it will come down to the wire, a win for you though...Just :P

[Fletch74]

Well this is the last update.

End of over 33 (1 run) - Fletch's No Balls(121-6). 29 runs required from 7 overs. RR 3.67 RRR 4.14
T. Tozer 9 (17b) , O. Murray 5 (10b) , R. Maloney 5-0-18-0

Haven't lost a wicket, but my RRR is creeping up.
