[roo boys!]

Should I chose to bat or bowl first today?

[8-6 Suited]

I always bat first on Slow pitches. Or try too anyway.

[roo boys!]

Good, I chose that :)

[Boomz]

I prefer to bowl first... Depends on ur strengths though.

[8-6 Suited]

My strength is in my bowling, so having a target on the board can add that little extra bit of pressure.

[roo boys!]

I think mine would be bowling...it's certainly not fielding. :P

[Boomz]

Daley has called heads and lost the toss. Inwood ponders for a moment before deciding to bowl first. Gunz n Rozez will start their innings shortly.

Damn :-\ hopefully can get a good total on the board :)

[roo boys!]

Harrison has called heads and lost the toss. Odhiambo ponders for a moment before deciding to bat first. Front Foot Fury will start their innings shortly.

OHNOES!!! :(

End of over 2 (3 runs) - Tickle My Timber(8-0) RR 4.00
T. Stephens 1 (5b) , M. Pretty 7 (7b) , J. Living 1-0-3-0


Got what I wanted, to be batting first.

[CrowsFan]

Priyadarshini has called heads and lost the toss. Brooks ponders for a moment before deciding to bat first. RED THUNDER will start their innings shortly.

Wasn't really fussed either way to be honest.

End of over 9 (3 runs) - RED THUNDER(36-0) RR 4.00
M. Aziz 23 (29b) , A. Venkatesan 12 (25b) , W. Orange 5-0-12-0

Orange bowled nice and tight and he wasn't even on defensive. Mlambo has done alright except for 1 over where he conceded 10!

Doing better than expected.

5.6   W   Qasim to Prentice : Gone! Sharp bouncer from Qasim and it nicks the glove on the way through, Cullen makes no mistake and the umpire raises a pudgy finger. Mathea consoles Prentice. A near unplayable delivery.
H. Prentice c A. Cullen b. A. Qasim 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
5.5   W   Qasim to Daly : [catch] A lofted drive goes straight into the hands of mid-off. Jaseam takes the catch comfortably and that's the end for Daly. He is quite unhappy with himself.
F. Daly c K. Jaseam b. A. Qasim 24 (27b 4x4 0x6) SR:88.89


Can't ignore the fact there was 2 dropped catches in the first over, one by Cullen with outstanding fielding and the other by Chiba with reasonable fielding.


End of over 12 (5 runs) - Front Foot Fury(58-2) RR 4.83
J. Mathea 12 (20b) , R. Phelan 10 (25b) , S. Chiba 1-0-1-0

4 byes, Cullen really wants me to sell him doesn't he? Well..I have done it every day since I bought him, I'm keeping (no pun intended ;)) the faith in him.

C. Peterson 33 (42b) , N. Babb 37 (40b) , S. McBourne 2-0-13-0

Still not doing too bad at all.
