Commentary Thread

[Briggsey]

This will be the official thread to post ball-by-ball commentary from your games.

You should only do this at your own will, it is not compulsary, so if you have enough time, go ahead

[ste_mc_efc]

i am predicting mine to be along the lines of:

armchair athletes decided to go to the wrong ground today, possibly to allow everton 3 points, possibly a sporting gesture as it is ste's birthday,

whats this some people have just turned up from nowhere after hearig there was a game available,

dunc King will then hog every balle, hitting 6 every ball and 5s off the last ball of the over, he will get over 1000runs in one innings

I am currently being hammered all over the park with the Messengers going at 6.77 an over!

[ZoraxDoom]

Probably my last cup game. Play Southland's AC - owner of WI National player Jarvis Palmer:

End of Over 15: 87-1, runrate=5.80
Deane 3-0-20-1
Connell* 17 (14 balls)
Harewood 36 (38 balls)

Last Wicket: Palmer b. Deane 27 (FOW: 50/1)

Bowling first. The best line so far:

10.5 W Deane to Palmer
That's gone for 4 byes. Wait, what's going on here? Oh my, apparently the ball just kissed the top of leg stump and knocked the bail down. It seemed like 4 byes, but only the keeper knew what was really happening! Great bowling.

22.6 W Crouch to Anthony
A quick delivery and Anthony is left looking back at his stumps. He's gone!
22.5 W Crouch to Nightingale
That one found its way through the thinnest of gaps between bat and pad, the ball then ripping the middle stump from the ground. It's still bouncing as Crouch celebrates!

Crouch on a hattrick, does he make it...

24.1 . Crouch to Connell
On the front foot, gently played out to the off.

Nope. Ah well, there are still 47 deliveries

Slowing pulling the match back. A few more wickets will be good:

End of Over 25: 128-4, runrate=5.12
Crouch 3-0-10-2
Marsh* 1 (5 balls)
Connell 40 (44 balls)

Last Wicket: Anthony b. Crouch 0 (FOW: 121/4)

[moneyjungle]

My opening batsman Papier played an incredible innings of 198 (160 balls) for my teams amazing total of 377-1

[ZoraxDoom]

Wickets and runs galore:

End of Over 8: 50-3, runrate=6.25
Atkinson 4-0-19-1
Wills* 28 (23 balls)
Wolleaston 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Alexander c. Fallon b. Atkinson 12 (FOW: 50/3)

Good start for my team

Rabbitohs v Old Wulfs at Rabbitohs Cricket Ground

Current update

End of Over 32: 121-6, runrate=3.78, reqrunrate=6.22 (232-10)
Poole 6-0-26-1
Fieldwick* 18 (17 balls)
Bowditch 1 (9 balls)

Old wulfs in real trouble but still a chance while the talented aussie allrounder Caleb Fieldwick is at the crease.

[Pak_cricketer]

I am dying at the Momment!

End of Over 12: 37-2, runrate=3.08
Mateen 1-1-0-1
Masood* 9 (31 balls)
Raeesuddin 0 (2 balls)

My Cup Match!

[Bilal91]

Everton made 278-8 in 50 overs and in reply I am 211-4 in 42 overs...

This is gonna be a close one...

[Adarsh]

Seems like you're going to lose.

[Bilal91]

Yup...
Everton won by 21 runs.
Everton 278-8
Srilanka R us 257-10

But still was a very close match...

I think they had a slightly better side than me as they had 2 players above 15000 BT rating and only two of their batsmen really batted one making 123* and other 44...

[RabbleRouser]

My openers are smashing the bowlers all over the place, here's the most recent over-

30.6 2 Mackay to Raza
Raza belts the ball down to long on where some great fielding saves two runs.
30.5 4 Mackay to Raza
Raza flashes at that one, and the slips watch in dismay as it scuttles to the boundary. A bit streaky that.
30.4 1 Mackay to Sheikh
On the back foot, stroked into the covers, good running.
30.3 6 Mackay to Sheikh
New balls please! That one has disappeared out of town.
30.2 1 Mackay to Raza
Didn't quite hit that as he'd have liked and he'll have to settle for a single.
30.1 1 Mackay to Sheikh
Turned around to backward square leg.

[ste_mc_efc]

yeh but the BTR is pretty deceiving, one is a feeble batter respectable wk (due to pop in both though) with proficient stamina and consc, he is a nifty batter occasionaly his high score being 74* (or there abouts)

other is a strong batter, my first week respectable pull,

but my profcicient top order is the only part of my team thats is above mediocre ratings,

dunc is seconds in my league averages, 2 unbeaten centuries in 3 appearences

[ZoraxDoom]

0.5 W Deane to Spearitt
That's atrocious batting! He's moved so far towards the off side you can see middle stump and Deane hits it!
0.4 W Deane to Mills
Acrobatic catch from Fallon there!

My match against Antigua All-Stars

End of Over 3: 11-2, runrate=3.67
Deane 2-0-4-2
Lyons* 5 (7 balls)
Cuffy 5 (8 balls)

Last Wicket: Spearitt b. Deane 0 (FOW: 1/2)

Good start by my team. Should be an easy win.

[JamesyJames3]

End of Over 32: 159-3, runrate=4.97, reqrunrate=10.22 (342-3)
Walcott 6-0-45-0
Beattir* 51 (73 balls)
Lee 69 (90 balls)


Well, im not going to win, but my boys are doing alright.
