[Fletch74]

The final is about to get underway...

Jhappan has called tails correctly and has decided to bowl. Mike Whitney's afro! will start their innings shortly.

The weather for the match is expected to be Sunny and the groundsmen have prepared a Crumbling pitch. Conditions look ideal for the spinners, good for the seam bowlers.

A crowd of 1,389 has arrived at Mike Whitney's afro! CG today for the Fan Footy Knockout match between Mike Whitney's afro! and Fletch's No Balls.

T. Stevenson 3 (8b) , E. Slaughter 35 (44b) , P. Jhappan 2-0-7-1

Got a stumping in his first over.

[Fletch74]

Badly needed wicket...

16.2 W Jhappan to Slaughter : [catch] Short of a good length delivery on the stumps, Slaughter makes room and takes a swing. The ball clips the top edge and balloons up to mid-on.

Roost is building a nice tally...

T. Stevenson 50 (76b) , D. Fleming 19 (26b) , S. Breman 8-1-38-0

I have 2 20yo's in my batting lineup, so might be difficult to chase.

Ratings have taken a significant dive since I sold my 3 29yo's, and they will go down further when Phillips and Breman are sold :-\

Congratz to Roost on the win 8). The batting on the crumbling to kick it off was quite good ;).

The selling did hurt but at least you have the cash now to get it back up in time.
