The wait until 5:30 FTP time.... I want my PC match to begin already. Put too many hours into this match so understandabely very eager for it to begin.

Murray has called tails correctly and has decided to bowl. The Raptors will start their innings shortly.
The weather for the match is expected to be Overcast and the groundsmen have prepared a Sticky pitch. Conditions look good for the spinners, ideal for the seam bowlers.
A capacity crowd of 17,000 has arrived at The Abyss of Tartarus today for the Pavilion Cup match between The Raptors and Clyde Cougars.
won the toss (good start) love the crowd of 17k  ;D netting me $63 750  ;)

more than my $37'500 :P

End of over 7 (4 runs) - PowerBugCC(35-1) RR 5.00
J. Vedati 4-0-21-0, C. Poeppel 0 (0b), G. Tonge 11 (19b)

6.6 1 W Vedati to Wardlaw : [runout] Caught ball-watching, slow to respond to his partner's call, run out by a metre. Dreadful running by Wardlaw.
W. Wardlaw run out (M. Buthelezi) 22 (24b 2x4 0x6) SR:91.67

There goes the Aggro bat. :(

Will be selling some players soonish and doing a minor rebuild for my move to South Africa. Better time zone will allow me to actually set orders when I'm back at work. Will post links to the players being sold after I work out sponsorship for div 5

That ends the innings of The Raptors. Clyde Cougars will have a target of 128 to chase.
Q. Fox 7.4-1-25-3, F. Mahmud 2 (9b)

Going nicely then cyrus :)

[PowerBug]

His chase has started very shakily unfortunately. :(

End of over 11 (2 runs) - Clyde Cougars(34-3). 94 runs required from 39 overs. RR 3.09 RRR 2.41
S. Prestigiacomo 1-0-2-1, D. Murray 15 (27b), D. Ling 0 (0b)

:-\


My game isn't going too flash either, i made 235 off my 50 overs (Overcast/Dry) but have been average with the ball so far. :(

End of over 8 (6 runs) - Food and drink(43-0). 193 runs required from 42 overs. RR 5.38 RRR 4.60S. Mukund 4-0-22-0, A. Berger 24 (28b), G. Swendsen 16 (22b)

Going ok now PB with those last couple of wickets. Cyrus going well too.

My game starts at 11pm tonight.

[PowerBug]

Cyrus has recovred very well to sit 95/4 now. 33 runs left. Match saving partnership from Ling and Fox as the score was 42/4. :)


End of over 30 (4 runs) - Food and drink(125-3). 111 runs required from 20 overs. RR 4.17 RRR 5.55
P. John 6-1-20-2, G. Swendsen 50 (83b), A. Dunn 9 (19b)

At the same time i was 129/3, so it's still very close. I'm due for a wicekt i think, getting Swendsen would be gold.

Got too close for comfort. I had it in the bag but the 9th wicket partnership kept coming. :-\ A 12k upset though and first ever Rd 5 appearence, i'll take it. :)

Botany Bay Buckaneers, (60th seed) next week. Unfortunately if it's on a Spinning wicket i will be throwing the match, as I would much rather win my SOD a couple of days beforehand which will be away on a Dry. I'm changing my pitch to Uneven so by the off chance that i get the HGA, i'll give myself the best shot to win the match as Uneven is my best upset wicket i believe. :)

[Cyrus]

good win mate
i too have a hard one next week he out rates me by about 7k so will be hard if i'm to have a crack although in rnd 6 will be an easier win if i get through

[Fletch74]

Well done gents :)
