No comment on my match :-X.

Getting absolutely flogged in my game. Posted a score of 206 from my 50 overs losing 9 wickets. Henderson top scored with 72.

In reply:
End of over 17 (2 runs) - Les Miserables(93-2). 114 runs required from 33 overs. RR 5.47 RRR 3.45
A. Gundlapalli 0 (2b) , S. Shalaby 49 (54b) , A. Priyadarshini 4-0-13-2

Picked up both those wickets in that over so looking a little bit better, but still very unlikely that I will win.
Orders that I set today were given to me by ranti so we can blame him if I lose  ;)

Bowled them out for 148 in 34 overs. Suri picking up 5 and Priya with 4 showing just how good spinners are on a windy crumbling :)

outrated by a bit though and only having one spinner on a crumbler is no good

Very easy win for me. Bowled him out in the 37th over for 133, then chased it down in the 33rd over ;D

Having a shocking game today in a game I really thought I had a chance of winning. They batted first and amassed 4 for 244 from their 50 overs. My fielders were awful dropping 5 catches! >:(

In reply my batters are dropping like flies and only have McEvoy as my last recognised batsmen left.

End of over 22 (2 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(75-5). 170 runs required from 28 overs. RR 3.41 RRR 6.07
N. McEvoy 9 (22b) , A. Priyadarshini 1 (5b) , A. Pearson 6-0-23-1

Ranti again set my orders like he did last week. It worked then but don't think it will pay off today...

Can't say I'm all that impressed with the bowling performance. How one guy systemically raped us I'll never know. Still a wins a win, especially after last weeks debacle
