[CrowsFan]

Don't worry daz I was in a similar state except only 2 down. Everyone just contributed a bit and built me up a respectable target. It could happen to you too :)

could but crook was my best batsmen and well frankston 11 outrates me by bout 15k
so yeah and on a crumbling wicket his spinner is only just starting

edit: plus i only got 1 more recognized batter to come

[CrowsFan]

Well on a crumbling wicket my 2 outstanding spinners picked up 1 wicket between them and went for more runs than anyone else!

[Boomz]

11.6   2   Kershler to Phillips : [dropped] Phillips's not got onto that as well as he'd hoped. Taylor is out in the deep and it goes down! Oh dear... and if it could get any worse for Kershler there's 2 runs more to the score

FFS dropped twice now >:(

[DazBurg]

nice win CF and great match ratings for the both of you ;)

[DazBurg]

13.1   6   McBourne to Vidur : Making swift steps down the pitch Vidur has lofted that so far in the air for 6 that it reminds me of Mark Greatbatch.

cop that!!!

[Boomz]

13.2   .   Kershler to Phillips : [dropped] A much quicker delivery from Kershler, which catches Phillips by surprise, making him spoon it straight back to the bowler... but wait! Kershler trips, the ball slipping through his fingers, and that goes down as a drop!

flowerING HELL!!!! HOW MUCH DID U PAY MY PLAYERS TO DROP PHILLIPS BARLOW?!?!  >:( 3 times now >:(

[8-6 Suited]

lol Don't beat on the Shaggy's daz!

[Alex7089]

I don't think he was aiming that at u ??? I was guessing it was aimed at barlow lol

yeah i kinda figured that

but was just intercepting it since i made the same mistake aswell...lol

i.e meaning if he a spaz for batting first i done the same exact thing...lol

;)

Sorry Daz :-\
I didn't mean it like that, and seeing as you weren't the one who thought you should bt first it is OK ;)
Wasn't trying to be mean :(
