Wow Roost finished Maca off with a hattrick... :o

That ends the innings of Gatha Scorpions. Mike Whitney's afro! will have a target of 183 to chase.

End of over 42 (3 runs) - Gatha Scorpions(182-10) RR 4.33
M. Pritchard 40 (45b) , M. Keady 6-0-23-3
A hattrick for Keady!
41.6 W Keady to Wilkie : Missing off, missing leg, hitting middle halfway up.
C. Wilkie lbw b. M. Keady 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
41.5 W Keady to Lesnar : Good length delivery, Lesnar is clueless as he shoulders arms and the ball crashes into the off stump - as easy as it gets.
B. Lesnar b. M. Keady 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
41.4 W Keady to Downton : Fuller in length and wide outside the off stump, Downton goes for an expansive drive and the ball goes straight to Fleming at backward point. The bat turned at the point of impact and the ball went high up towards the fielder who timed his jump perfectly.
A. Downton c D. Fleming b. M. Keady 9 (21b 0x4 0x6) SR:42.86
41.3 1 Keady to Pritchard : Pushed down to long on for a single.
41.2 . Keady to Pritchard : Lovely flight and drift there from Keady, spinning past the bat.
41.1 2 Keady to Pritchard : Down the leg side and he sweeps really fine, the bat coming through almost vertically. Stevenson does well to stop it on the boundary.

Should be a close finish... All out for 182

The pitch is a Green, I thought it was a flat :P
My bowlers dont suit a Green, so think roost has got me.

End of over 14 (5 runs) - Mike Whitney's afro!(55-0). 128 runs required from 36 overs. RR 3.93 RRR 3.56
E. Slaughter 17 (38b) , F. Martin 34 (48b) , B. Lesnar 2-0-12-0

Looks as though he has. His bowlers don't really suit a green either, but his bowlers suit the Humid weather.

Maca24 · June 30, 2011, 02:01:22 PM

yeh he has 4 paceman.
I have 3 so not a huge difference.
I hold faith in my bowlers though. They have won me matches like this before.

Maca24 · June 30, 2011, 03:37:53 PM

Roost won by 8 wickets! :o
Great win Roost. Good luck in the final.

Match Ratings were 161K (Roost) and 178K for myself.

Also can't believe roost has 4 Fast bowlers! :o

Wow another big upset for the roost! :o

Im fairly shattered actually :( Thought my bowlers would put up more of a fight.
Have always had massive batting collapses, which is something im not sure how to fix.. perhaps I should put a middle order batsman on Defensive from now on?

Fletch74 · June 30, 2011, 04:45:35 PM

I always have 3 or 4 of my tailenders on def, with a couple of my middle order batsmen on def as well.

My 3 tailenders that were involved in the hattrick were all on defensive..
Might start having JWP on defensive as he has been a spud with the bat lately.

Will be a good game HP ;) Still will have my oldies, so will be competitive. Roost and Maca are on in a caouple of hours.

Indeed it should be 8). Playing 2 Youths so may have me :-\. Just need to see if my team for the future can keep up with a quality opposition.

4 Fasties in Roost's lineup is :o. Unlucky Maca but well done Roost for another upset! Guess Tactics do play a big part to winning. His openers just killed ya Maca :(.

McRooster · June 30, 2011, 07:39:37 PM

Wow that was a surprise :o

Thanks Maca for the match ;D

When you posted last night about the match being a flat I went on and saw conditions were currently Green and humid. I thought with some minor adjustments to my agg/def orders it may make the game more watchable and keep me in it for longer, I never expected that outcome ???

My four fasties include my Allrounder Captain Jamie Williams which is a bonus.

I am fast developing a man crush on Emrys Slaughter as my equal favourite player with de Vreeze :-*

Here is how I set the fro!

Looking forward to the final, good luck to Fletch and HP :)

Off to do shopping so will miss maybe half the match :(.

Maca24 · June 30, 2011, 08:29:14 PM

When I said it was a flat roost I genuinely thought it was :-[
So im sorry I told you the wrong pitch.
Thanks anyway for a great game and hopefully I beat u in FFPL2.
