21.3 W Zahra to Bariya : Quick on the leg stump, going straight on, Bariya looks to play to the on side, misses the line of the ball and gets hit on the pad in line with the leg stump. A loud appeal from everybody and the umpire lifts his finger.A. Bariya lbw b. A. Zahra 16 (34b 1x4 0x6) SR:47.06

Zahra has just made a very very important breakthrough, Keeps me in the match, just.

End of over 22 (6 runs) - The Nailers(73-4). 53 runs required from 28 overs. RR 3.32 RRR 1.89
A. Zahra 4-1-15-3, R. Fellows 1 (2b), A. Gogler 26 (42b)

Seriously, if you play FTP, you have to tune in to this game. It might look like Nails will win easy, but If I got rolled for 125, then why can't i take 52/6 to keep him under that score? :)

Edit: Forget it, Kuhlengisa is a spud. This performance just caps off my horrible day.

Only positive I can think of is that I play in the same conditions again tomorrow, and last time I was unhappy with myself on a Thursday, I won despite being outrated by 31k on the friday, in the same conditions. :D

If I lose the 8shes, it'll be Bariya's fault, never should have bought the p.o.s.

Result: PowerBugCC won by 138 runs

Nails was never in with a chance when he didn't take early wickets. Horton entered the crease around the 40th over, exactly when I planned him too, returned with a solid 48*


All set up for the final match, Humid/Sticky are the conditions, the match will be set up soon, both teams must win to retain the 8shes, not sure it gets much better. :D

guys, if there's one thing you need to do tonight, it's follow this FTP match. The decider for the 2nd ever 8shes is underway, with me winning the toss and batting first, Bryce has made the early breakthrough for the Nailers.

End of over 2 (4 runs) - PowerBugCC(4-1) RR 2.00
M. Bryce 1-0-1-1, W. Wardlaw 1 (4b), F. Butt 0 (1b)

PB has as much hope in this match as I do in getting laid tonight.

W. Healy 1-0-1-0, S. Craig 31 (62b), S. Mukund 15 (31b)

Mukund is has made double figures, my team is switched on. You won't get to 130 Nails, I believe I have set the sexiest bowling orders possible :D

This is amazing. How Mukund (accomplished batting) is still going is beyond me. :o I think I can win this now, not that I never thought I wouldn't, but at 9/3 I was a bit scared. ;)
