D. Oldfield 13 (11b) , J. Ferrall 1 (1b) , D. Rees 10-1-56-3

That ends the innings of PowerBugCC. The Matchbox Matadors will have a target of 221 to chase.

P. Skinner 31 (54b) , R. Deem 11 (15b) , J. Ferrall 6-0-31-1

I do think the captain is doing a good job. :P Ferrall, Oldfield, Mukund with the wickets. Campbell just started bowling.

Chase not going as smoothly as I would like at the moment... :-\

End of over 21 (5 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(81-3). 140 runs required from 29 overs. RR 3.86 RRR 4.83
R. Deem 11 (23b) , P. Skinner 36 (58b) , D. Dorenagama 5-0-19-0

GO PB GO! YOU CAN DO IT!

[CrowsFan]

I'm screwed...

End of over 37 (5 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(155-6). 66 runs required from 13 overs. RR 4.19 RRR 5.08
D. Rees 1 (8b) , R. Deem 61 (76b) , S. Mukund 8-1-25-1

Certainly doesn't help when 4 of your top 6 batters combine to score just 28 runs...

[Nails]

Not over until Deem is dismissed.

End of over 43 (4 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(190-10). 31 runs required from 7 overs. RR 4.42 RRR 4.43
D. Brouwers 1 (3b) , W. Campbell 7-1-27-4

PowerBuggCC won by 30 runs. Lost my last 4 wickets in the space of 9 balls. The last 3 being taken by a rel/rel finger spinner on an uneven pitch.

Man of the Match
3. William Campbell - 4 for 27 from 7 overs, plus 28 runs from 28 balls for PB.
2. Robert Deem - 78 runs from 90 balls. Not enough to get me over the line.
1. Douglas Rees - 3 for 56 from 10 overs, plus 17 runs with the bat. Shame the rest of the batters couldn't perform.

PB now leads our senior rivalry 2-0 even though I out rated him both times. Seems like he's got the wood over me. Well done PB

[Torpedo10]

CF, you were going to win until. 4 wickets in 8 balls.  :-\ you only needed another 30 runs.  :-\

Thanks CF, but remember the bowling orders were screwed up the first time, so that is really the first win. :)

The last 3 being taken by a rel/rel finger spinner on an uneven pitch.

Once again, as he did against Q, my worst bowler has produced the goods. There is always something about my spinners doing well on unfavourable pitches.

One thing i'd like to poitn out is the 49 runs i scored from my last 4 batsmen, compared to CF's 18, that is effectively the difference. Although you never want your tail to do the batting, it certaintly helps. :)


I did my bit team, now we need a few more upsets to keep the game in our favour, as once i saw our sides ratings compared to our opponents, i wasn't confident heading into the tie.
