The Original 8shes, Nails vs PB. Series 3 over.

[Nails]

Was at work, hence my inability to update how I'm kicking butt (but not Fayyaz (spelling?) Butt, he did alright)


End of over 28 (4 runs) - The Nailers(107-2). 105 runs required from 22 overs. RR 3.82 RRR 4.77

Rough time for those who picked PB's bowlers. So far I think only an unselected bowler has picked up wickets. Can't remember owning the spud.

[PowerBug]

My team is useless and stupid.

Humid/Flat just underway, Nails batting. I like my chances in this one, especially knowing that I'm chasing. :)

[PowerBug]

ooo yes I like my chances from here.


End of over 13 (7 runs) - PowerBugCC(61-1). 190 runs required from 37 overs. RR 4.69 RRR 5.14
A. Bishwash 4-0-20-0, F. Butt 29 (45b), A. Challenor 30 (33b)

Especially since Nails has played 3 mediums on a Flat. (Not that he had much choice)

End of over 40 (6 runs) - PowerBugCC(214-4). 37 runs required from 10 overs. RR 5.35 RRR 3.70
V. Shah 10-0-43-1, A. Challenor 107 (110b), S. Watson 42 (52b)

2-2. 8) Was gonna drop Challenor coz he's been spudly so far but Nails told me to try him as an opener.... so I did. So yeah Nails pretty much gave me this win, but still, I deserved it, 3 mediums shouldn't win on a Flat. :P

Nails batting first, Cloudy/Hard. 5th match, series tied 2-2, this match could be the decider.

[Nails]

Nails dropped Bouchard for the first time in who knows how long

I don't know if I've ever dropped him in a friendly like ever.

However favoured the spec/spec/outs bat/tech/power over the excep/excep/cap opener. Due to the fact speccy had cap form and excep had ord form.

Also the outs power is helpful for a batter friendly wicket where IMO you don't need as high primaries to score well.

Paying off so far with Santharam 20* (20)

[Torpedo10]

Why Nails  ::) He's in my Fantasy team.

[Nails]

Figured on batting decks primaries are less important than normal and power more important.

Therefore spec/spec in cap form with super power beats excep/excep in ord form with crap power.

P. John 7-0-52-0, J. Santharam 92 (78b), I. Murambadaro 8 (7b)
End of over 29 (8 runs) - The Nailers(212-1) RR 7.31

Paying off too.

EDIT: Santharam in reliable form!

Just require a lazy 371 runs to win... Already lost Aronstam and Challenor. :(

Things started terribly, losing two wickets in the first over, both Paul John and William Wardlaw out for golden ducks.

End of over 10 (1 run) - PowerBugCC(39-2) RR 3.90
A. Bishwash 5-1-13-0, P. Aronstam 9 (25b), A. Challenor 26 (34b)

Settled ok now. Vinay Shah having bowled five overs already is good. Knowing that Nails is playing both Seymore and Fellows means I'm going to have a tough time when I bowl.

That is 50 runs for Challenor (50 runs, 45b 4x4 3x6) SR:111.11


Jesus, what a gun.
