R. Ali 7 (17b) , R. Furlonge 11 (20b) , P. Watson 3-0-6-0

Just build a partnership, I've got plenty of big hitters down the order to take care of the NRR

Good luck CF! Season-Defining games are always more tense to watch.... Also leads to more rants at every little thing :P.

Thanks HP, I managed to beat him earlier in the season through superior tactics since he out rated me so hopefully can do that again.
The problem is the game is on a crumbling wicket so I think I let them score too much, and I just lost both my openers in 2 balls  :'( :'(

6.2   W   Wright to Furlonge : [catch] It was a hopeless long-hop until Furlonge pulled it straight to Cotton at square leg - what a mess!
R. Furlonge c M. Cotton b. D. Wright 11 (22b 1x4 0x6) SR:50.00

Did someone say rant?.... :P

OUCH! :o. That's got to hurt but I've had games saved by my 4th and 6th batter so don't lose hope :D.

My elder-statesman in Jeffers ran out Findlay in the 9th over and sitting in a decent position at:
End of over 10 (2 runs) - Springfield Isotopes(40-1). 183 runs required from 40 overs. RR 4.00 RRR 4.58

12.5   W   L. Rowe to Skinner : [catch] Ooh! So much turn on that delivery that Skinner could only spoon it back to L. Rowe.
P. Skinner c & b. L. Rowe 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
12.4   W   L. Rowe to Brayshaw : [runout] Well, now we know why Brayshaw is never sent out as a runner!
G. Brayshaw run out (K. Salvana) 12 (16b 0x4 1x6) SR:75.00

Why do I lose my wickets in pairs? ::)

M. Szyslak 39 (54b) , E. Hutcheson 17 (24b) , B. Moser 4-0-19-0

Still can't seem to get wickets to fall. Wish I had your opponent's strike rate CF :P.

[CrowsFan]

Oi what happened to the support HP? :P

It seemed to have brought me luck though :-X.

18.2 W Moser to Szyslak : Moser musters up all the effort he can and fires in a toe crusher. Szyslak obliges by getting himself in line with the stumps and the umpire raises his finger.
M. Szyslak lbw b. B. Moser 39 (55b 2x4 0x6) SR:70.91

Sorry CF. It's still an attainable target considering some of the partnerships that have been hit against me recently (FFPL flashback). Given they were openers but the same can be said for any batters on their day 8).

End of over 23 (11 runs) - Tickle My Timber(133-1). 108 runs required from 27 overs. RR 5.78 RRR 4.00

The Macedonian Marvel cruised past his 50. :D

[roo boys!]

16.5   W   Rutgers to Valkjosandi : [catch] Fuller length delivery outside the off stump. Valkjosandi drives away from his body with no real foot-work. It looked like the bat hit the ground - hard to say if there was an edge involved.
Ý. Valkjosandi c S. Marsh b. A. Rutgers 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
16.4   W   Rutgers to Zia : When playing a forward defensive, it's important to keep the bat and pad together as they say. Well... they should definitely say to Zia, schoolboy error and the stumps are re-arranged.
M. Zia b. A. Rutgers 22 (29b 0x4 0x6) SR:75.86

TWO BEST BATSMEN. FLOWER ME

[CrowsFan]

So you're having just as much luck as me then RB ::)

On debut for the Timbers, Stephensen gets his 50 just before drinks.
