7.2 overs in and Sharif's yorker talent has already activated once... :(

7.3   .   Sharif to Siddiq : [dropped] Sharif gets just enough movement to find the edge of Siddiq's bat and the ball flies to Brohaska at first slip. It goes straight into his hands and straight out again, that's a bad miss, as far as slip chances go that was an easy one.

On a scale of 0 and Nathan Astle on how bad I want you to make Maca pay...

Please go Nathan Astle on him!

[Maca24]

LOL nails  :D
Hopefully we get him.

[Nails]

My best bat is beginning to fire up Maca :)

If Simon can see off Lesnar it'll be great for the squad and our chances. He seems to be firing up hitting 6 runs off that over from his own bat.

End of over 11 (7 runs) - The Nailers(53-1). 263 runs required from 39 overs. RR 4.82 RRR 6.74
S. Siddiq 25 (33b) , R. Simon 18 (23b) , B. Lesnar 1-0-7-0

More of that please Simon!

12.1   .   Lesnar to Simon : [great fielding] Well cut off in the covers by Sharif. Siddiq sends Simon back.

Sharif 2x Great Fielding in 6 balls  ::) cost us like 5 runs  >:(

13.3   W   Jones to Siddiq : [catch] Short of a good length delivery on the stumps, Siddiq makes room and takes a swing. The ball clips the top edge and balloons up to mid-on.
S. Siddiq c W. McKintosh b. C. Jones 27 (41b 2x4 0x6) SR:65.85

Out of all your big scary bowlers Jones is the one giving me the most trouble  ::)

That isn't even close to Nathan Astle proportions Siddiq  ::)

[Nails]

How is Jones reas/reas + skilled tech 3-1-2-1

Whilst Lesnar is 3-0-17-0

??? ??? ???

[Maca24]

lol its a funny game isnt it!  :o
Lesnar is on aggresive if that helps..
Jones is on D I think?

MATE YOU ARE A SPUD

    End of over 18 (maiden) - The Nailers(72-2). 244 runs required from 32 overs. RR 4.00 RRR 7.62
R. Simon 33 (47b) , M. Christie 2 (10b) , C. Jones 4-2-2-1

SRSLY? WTF?

Lesnar is spec/excep going for 6rpo whilst you've gone for a measly 0.5rpo...

Come on mate bowl like the spud you are, stop bowling me out of the game.

21.5   W   Brohaska to Christie : He shuffled across his stumps looking to work to leg and was struck in front by Brohaska.
M. Christie lbw b. H. Brohaska 21 (23b 1x4 0x6) SR:91.30

Six runs off the first 3 balls of the over was solid... the dot ball and the dismissal that followed weren't though Christie!  >:(

how high should i set my agent b4 i go to bed?

[Nails]

Not too high IMO Cyrus... 40K maybe?

http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=595757

I can list him at 30K right now if you're interested Cyrus...

I would sorta like to keep him but I guess I need money more  :-\

[Cyrus]

http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=530195
or do i have a crack at him?

[MajorLazer]

http://fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=365382

Perfect for me. Reckon I can nab him for 500k?

[Nails]

I'd say yes to him Cyrus

He's a gun, accom/accom at 20yo with Gifted Bowling...

I'd put 80K at least on him if I had the $....

Maybe I shouldn't have rushed into Christie.


@ML - possibly, power is a let down although it is a good time to start training it, he's a gun so it might be tight, I'd say you have a pretty good chance though.

End of over 39 (2 runs) - The Nailers(191-5). 125 runs required from 11 overs. RR 4.90 RRR 11.36
J. Sweeney 15 (18b) , R. Simon 81 (101b) , B. Lesnar 10-0-51-2

The one thing on my side is that Maca's 2 worst bowlers are coming up... Although Jones (one of the two to come) probably bowled the best spell of the match...

Hoping Simon and Sweeney can see off the 40th over and go boom in the last 10.

End of over 44 (4 runs) - The Nailers(232-5). 84 runs required from 6 overs. RR 5.27 RRR 14.00
J. Sweeney 42 (35b) , R. Simon 95 (114b) , R. Etwaroo 7-0-49-0

3 balls for 1 run Simon?

WTF THIS isn't the 15th over! THIS IS AT THE DEATH BUDDY! No time for your nervous 90s crap now! SMACK A RUN OR 6!

44.3   .   Jones to Sweeney : [great fielding] Outstanding stop by Nyamuzinga at backward point, that saved a certain four.

Nooo, can't afford great fieldings right now :(

End of over 45 (9 runs) - The Nailers(241-5). 75 runs required from 5 overs. RR 5.36 RRR 15.00

R. Etwaroo are tired.

Still has to bowl 3 overs and has been going for runs already, is this my chance? 15RPO = unlikely but come on Simon! You can do it!

We haven't hit a single 6 for the entire innings  ::)

[Nails]

Simon out...

Match over unless Texel's BH can activate half a dozen times...

Cracked the 140K ratings :)

We dropped Astle and he pretty much went on to win Maca the match, dropped him (made 119 after we dropped him)

That said Simon was also grassed once or twice.

Maca had 11 great fieldings and 17 misfields vs my 14 misfields and 6 great fieldings
Therefore looks like my fielding is on the improve :)

Close game Maca, well deserved win :)
