8.3   6   Sayers to Jackman : Jackman uses brute strength to smash the ball several rows into the crowd. You don't get guns like that cherry picking.
8.2   4   Sayers to Jackman : Awesome shot to one pitched up in the slot! Jackman punching it straight back over Sayers's head for four.
Sayers=owned.

[Alex7089]

Nice ;)
I always knew he would be good, but Collins is just...my favourite :P

End of over 10 (2 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(37-0) RR 3.70
T. Jackman 25 (33b) , D. Daryapurkar 12 (27b) , A. Kansal 5-0-19-0

Great first 10 overs, no wickets lost.
But 1 wicket goes and I could just collapse :-\

End of over 11 (8 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(45-0) RR 4.09
D. Daryapurkar 15 (31b) , T. Jackman 30 (35b) , H. Dickson 1-0-8-0

Poor effort from a rfs on a sticky/windy :-X

D. Daryapurkar 16 (32b) , T. Jackman 34 (40b) , D. Dhanraj 1-0-5-0
That is the 50 partnership (50 runs, 72b, 3x4, 1x6) SR:69.44
Happy with this start. Openers put in 50. Jackman has done his job, I'll keep him as an opener I think.

12.5   4   Dickson to Jackman : [misfield] That's gone straight through Kansal's legs for 4. Dickson is fuming.
12.4   4   Dickson to Jackman : [misfield] Decent shot by Jackman, but made to look fantastic by some poor fielding on the boundary by McBourne who has given away a four! Dickson looks annoyed and so he should. 2 runs given away there.
Misfields starting to cost you now GS ;)

End of over 13 (8 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(58-0) RR 4.46

You mean



Right? :P

[Alex7089]

Trust you to bring that gif out BP :P Yes I do.

13.6   W   Dhanraj to Jackman : [catch] In the zone outside the off stump, from a length and Jackman seems to be in trance and just pokes at it. Fatal edge. He slams his bat into his pads as he walks off, furious with himself. He's really marching back to the pavilion now.
T. Jackman c D. Allen b. D. Dhanraj 42 (50b 5x4 1x6) SR:84.00
Finally passed a check ;)
RR will come down now, top innings from Jackman has hopefully set up a competitive total.

End of over 14 (1 run) - Feeling Sheepish(59-1) RR 4.21
B. Surendra 0 (0b) , D. Daryapurkar 17 (34b) , D. Dhanraj 2-0-6-1
14.1   4   Dickson to Daryapurkar : Wow! Daryapurkar picked the line early and just slogged that back past Dickson.
Hopefully Darya can turn on the burners now.

B. Surendra 6 (2b) , D. Daryapurkar 22 (39b) , H. Dickson 3-0-28-0
14.6   6   Dickson to Surendra : Flighted, loopy and the perfect length to slog sweep for six! The beautiful sound of willow on leather brings the crowd to their feet.
Surendra second delivery he has ever faced at FSCC is a six 8)
Dickson getting smashed.

Playing ZZ in a youth friendly today which starts at 4.30.
Will be interesting to see how much I rate, shouldn't be much under 80k since I only lost 1 player, but we will see...

[BratPack]

I play BB in about an hour. Intrested to see how my new boys go.

Also sold "Pie Chucker" O'Brien for 35k. I'm back up to 344k  ;D

[Alex7089]

A lot of cash in the bank there BP, building a fortune or waiting to splurge?

Actually I don't know. I've added 135k in the last two days. I don't think I need anyone but I'll wait till after today to figure that out. I think the only thing I'd want really is an opener but Ryan and Bartrim are good enough there. And after that it's the fifth bowlers spot...Joubert

[Alex7089]

OK...Well you should be able to pick up some nice players with that cash ;)

End of over 17 (7 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(86-1) RR 5.06

D. Daryapurkar 40 (54b) , B. Surendra 8 (5b) , D. Dhanraj 4-0-20-1

Can't believe how good this start is on a sticky/windy. He played 3 spinners but they haven't done much for him, got smashed around only took 1 wicket.

[Alex7089]

20.2   W   McBourne to Daryapurkar : Bowled him. Great delivery from McBourne. Pitched it up and it turned through the gate of Daryapurkar.
D. Daryapurkar b. S. McBourne 42 (61b 3x4 0x6) SR:68.85
Argh. They are getting on top of me now, scoring has dried up completely and 2 down now.

Cracked 100 and we aren't even half way through. Only 2 down so happy.

The drinks cart is now making its way onto the field.

26.2   W   McBourne to Surendra : [catch] An ugly swipe takes the top edge. McBourne tracks the swirling ball and gleefully accepts the catch.
B. Surendra c & b. S. McBourne 20 (24b 1x4 1x6) SR:83.33
Ah well, McBourne is warming up 2 wickets. Still not going to complain.

[Alex7089]

Albury in now. Outs/spec hopefully he guns it up 8)

End of over 30 (3 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(126-3) RR 4.20
W. Shagmeister 15 (36b) , C. Albury 4 (10b) , P. Sayers 10-1-38-0

McBourne is killing me and his weakest bowler, Sayers, is off.

C. Albury 15 (20b) , W. Shagmeister 17 (39b) , A. Kansal 6-0-29-0

W. Shagmeister lbw b. A. Kansal 18 (45b 0x4 0x6) SR:40.00
Decent enough performance.
Hopefully Daley etc. come in and get me 230

Daley already triggered twice 8)

[BratPack]

Heat has called tails and lost the toss. Sangster ponders for a moment before deciding to bat first. The Brat Pack will start their innings shortly.

I thought I changed that... :-\

End of over 37 (5 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(153-4) RR 4.14
C. Albury 19 (31b) , K. Daley 7 (13b) , D. Dhanraj 9-1-32-1
