Jeez nails you have an extremely weak tail! 3 batters with atrocious batting and another with dreadful!!

But they all have awesome tech making their summaries not TOOO bad...

Betts is doing what I was hoping he'd do as an about to be 32yo AR... 27* off 24 balls :) - will probably get out now

You can't really call a guy with poor batting an AR no matter what level his tech is!

Currently capable summary batting though :( - was capable summary in accom form... still only capable in exp form... so guessing he'll drop to reas batting in reas form :(

He's a decent bat for my tail end regardless.

Good match shaggy. annoyed I didn't get to watch it... -,-

Thanks mate. Was pretty concerned though, as I felt you had that despite the fact you really shouldn't have smashed my Medium like you did haha.

Don't get how a reas/reas bowler can bowl better than Maca's excep/excep outs/outs etc. bowlers...

I think he's been the best in 2 of our 3 matches and near the best in the other... i THINK.

Beginners luck. :x

49.4 W Etwaroo to Sreerupa : [runout] Sreerupa gets hit on the thigh pad and Gross sets off, gets sent back by Sreerupa, Gross slips and then is run into by Etwaroo, he stumbles and never had a chance to get back.
C. Gross run out (N. Astle) 20 (27b 1x4 0x6) SR:74.07

3 runs... 2 balls remaining... must win.

49.6 2 Etwaroo to Hussain : [missed runout] Hussain plays a cover drive towards the boundary. Warne gathers the ball but the return is wide of the stumps and the batsmen just scrape home.

Match tied

Missed runout to give me my first ever tied match :) Still think it's total BS that Jones is always best bowler for Maca.

Have a tie lol

CrowsFan · October 14, 2011, 03:19:12 AM

Thought you had the match sewn up when you needed 6 runs from 2 overs with 4 wickets in hand, but that very weak tail of yours just could not do it. Luckily ending in a tie after maca missed a runout on the final ball which resulted in you getting 2 runs from it!
What an exciting finish!!

Haha puns are great!

Thought I had it as long as Gross was still at the crease... but then that great fielding stopped what might have been a boundary, then he hit a single... then run out... then I knew it was on for young and old!

That missed run out cost Maca the game!

He's not bad holz. I would get his fielding up a level or 2 first then focus on bowling and tech. I guess you don't need my player then ;)
