End of over 20 (4 runs) - Smoothly Waxed Beavers(122-7) RR 6.10
E. Charles 3 (3b) , U. Ul-Amin 1 (4b) , J. Dernbach 4-0-24-0

A total of only 7 runs off the last 3 overs, that's crazy for a T20. Now we've just got to chase these down, hopefully we can work our way out of the bottom 2 before too long. Problem is the guy under me on the table is only there cause I upset him by 18K...

so to feel comfortable I need to be 5th (highly unlikely)

Solid Start

End of over 6 (10 runs) - The Nailers(38-1). 85 runs required from 14 overs. RR 6.33 RRR 6.07
R. Voros 0 (0b) , O. Lalla 19 (22b) , W. Hill 1-0-10-1

McDonald was dismissed last delivery of that over and scored 19 (14)

14.3   .   Ul-Amin to Lalla : [dropped] Spooned to mid-off and Slognana drops the ball, or a "reverse catch" as it's known these days.
14.5   4   Ul-Amin to Lalla : And that's a lovely shot from Lalla driven straight back past Ul-Amin for four, all along the ground!
That is 50 runs for Lalla (53 runs, 50b 6x4 1x6) SR:106.00

What a debut by Lalla! Just given up that one chance, he's batting us to victory :)

End of over 15 (7 runs) - The Nailers(96-3). 27 runs required from 5 overs. RR 6.40 RRR 5.40
O. Lalla 53 (51b) , R. Simon 9 (5b) , U. Ul-Amin 4-0-14-2

Excuse the 10,000 posts, but oh well :D

After my last two T20 matches, my only two wins for the season It's nice to get a comfortable win for a change. Now in T20 after the last two weeks where I had a 2 run win and a 1 run win we've got a 7 wicket win :)

Omari Lalla was on a debut and batted beautifully giving up only one chance which was put down. He was also named MoTM

End of over 19 (6 runs) - The Nailers(123-3) RR 6.47
R. Simon 23 (17b) , O. Lalla 66 (63b) , A. Sivaram 4-0-26-0

Batting first

[CrowsFan]

Good luck. think you will win/lose/too close to call?

[Cicjose]

im thinking i should win as i do have the best team when they are all fatigue free

this game is very winnable but the ratings i think will suggest a close game

[Fletch74]

I had an amazing win tonight :o

Bowled first on a crumbler, and bowled them out for 79 with Jhappan getting a hattrick :) Then chased that down with the loss of only 1 wicket.

What's amazing?
