   That is 200 runs for McDonald (201 runs, 135b, 15x4, 4x6) SR:148.89

Great stuff Horace :) Solid innings, opening like a gun... Shame for them they dropped you earlier on  ;D ;D ;D

Now just try and get that SR up in the last 8 overs please... hit your 250 :)

47.6   W   Billcliff to Christie : Christie gets forward but pushes a bit too far and it loops up to silly point who takes a simple chance.
M. Christie c A. Sreenivasan b. O. Billcliff 77 (43b 7x4 1x6) SR:179.07

Solid score by Maca's former player on debut in an official match...

None of my players have got out from skill checks... unless that runout was a skill check?

Annoying.

That is 250 runs for McDonald (250 runs, 155b 21x4 4x6) SR:161.29

That 250 is nice though :)

48.5   W   Heaney to Yogish : Yogish goes big but doesn't quite get onto it as he'd like. Sreenivasan makes up some great ground and launches himself towards the ball. Superb catch! At full stretch too! Yogish is seen muttering angrily to himself on the way back to the pavilion, I hope they have insurance and a good window fitter.
A. Yogish c A. Sreenivasan b. D. Heaney 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR:50.00

Another no skill check dismissal?

Get stuffed ME.

End of over 50 (11 runs) - The Nailers(484-4) RR 9.68
H. McDonald 258 (159b) , J. Sweeney 4 (3b) , O. Billcliff 10-0-101-1

Nice unbeaten 258 from McDonald... Average is going to go from ~19 to ~62 lol

   A hattrick for Texel!
4.3   W   Texel to Sonali : Poor shot from Sonali. Just short of a length outside off and he attempts to drive well away from his body, but only succeeds in feathering one through to Sweeney for a regulation catch.
B. Sonali c J. Sweeney b. T. Texel 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
4.2   W   Texel to Billcliff : A bit of extra mustard on that delivery by Texel. Billcliff can't get his bat down in time and middle stump goes flying. That's good fast bowling!
O. Billcliff b. T. Texel 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
4.1   W   Texel to Stead : [catch] Stead tries to slog that ball over the boundary rope straight down the ground but instead finds the hands of Christie at long on.
S. Stead c M. Christie b. T. Texel 3 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR:33.33

   That is 5 wickets for Texel!
8.1   W   Texel to Suryanarayana : [catch] Oh he's gone! Tremendous delivery by Texel. Seemed to have just nipped off the seam a fraction and left Suryanarayana with no choice but to play at it. Thick edge off the bat and Greig makes no mistake in catching it.
B. Suryanarayana c J. Greig b. T. Texel 4 (10b 1x4 0x6) SR:40.00

End of over 10 (maiden) - Samantha XI(21-10). 464 runs required from 40 overs. RR 2.10 RRR 11.60
A. Dailey 0 (0b) , T. Harris 4.2-0-8-4
T. Texel 5-1-13-6

The Nailers won by 463 runs

The bowling was just as good as the batting :) Got to feel sorry for those who pretty much just sat in the sheds all day.

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 :)

Great work Nails, thanks for the game. Nice ratings for you.
Am happy to play you in a friendly whenever, was enjoyable  :D

Yea was good. No worries, hopefully Christie plays alrite for you.
I played 2 youths, so will rate 160k atleast by then  ;)

[Nails]

More like you played 1 youth and one guy who lied when filling out his registration form for your club...

I know it says he's under 20 but he played like he was 28 and a seasoned vet...

He was one of your best players... Spud Jones.  >:(
