Lost the toss and bowling first.

Would be good to get an early wicket or 2...

hmm bout 4 from my team said on crumbling better to bat first post a good score and then when u bowl have a few good tight over and it makes it damn near hard to chase down with good spinners

Never bat first on a bowlers pitch. Good luck defending it you spaz.

Except if they get a good start you are stuffed, a few tight overs they still have a chance :P

End of over 3 (4 runs) - Hammertown Warriors(11-0) RR 3.67
I. Liddlelow 3 (7b) , D. Waldron 7 (12b) , M. Hussey 2-0-8-0

Either tighter bowling or take some wickets.

8.6   W   Rudraraju to Ramsamooj : [runout] Wait is the call, Daley misfields and the batters take off. Ramsamooj is well short of his ground and is run out. The lesson here ladies and gents, is never run on a misfield.
S. Ramsamooj run out (K. Daley) 15 (32b 0x4 0x6) SR:46.88

1/28 off 9.4 now :)

[8-6 Suited]

End of over 10 (5 runs) - Rebel Spinners(39-0) RR 3.90
J. O'Sullivan 21 (35b) , D. Campbell 16 (25b) , P. Kortlang 5-1-22-0


A tidy first 10 overs, despite a missed run out attempt in the first over. Was expensive early on but they tightened up and closed well. Now on comes the spinners.
