Talk about your Weekly Games.

I'll start off..

This week I had a game with the Supercows Xi one of the easier teams in my league. (Even though they have 7 players above 8000 BTR ) Anyways, I decided to go with a nomal line-up.

Shahbaz
Ul-rehman
Masood
Lister
Powell
Ansari
Doshi
Akbar
Mahmood
Henshaw
Stevens

The Falcons vs Supercows XI

Mahmood was on Debut, He was my most recent pull of of the Academy. A Mediocre with Proficent Consistency, Respecable Feilding and Feeble stamina. A pretty good Pull. I had also sold Rafiullah for 250,000 so I needed a bowler.

Anyways, I batted First, and posted a pretty good score of 278/8. Shahbaz got yet another 100, and Lister (the Captain) got yet another 50, Powellplayed good for his 52, he just had to play 32 balls to get there. For the Supercows it was beesley who got 4/45.

Now towards the Bowling... I got a great start with Stevens getting a wicket first ball. Henshaw then struck again 3 overs later. Moin got 74 runs for them,but didn't get much support apart from khattak who got 41. The spinner Powell got 4 wickets, and Henshaw got 3, Mahmood, Masood, and Stevens all got 1 each.

The Final result was good, I won by 53 runs, Man of the Match was Powell for his 4 wickets, but I thought Shahbaz deserved it..

bah lost, to my league "rivals"


openers both got ducks, rest did their best but couldnt recover


*king always turned it on against them aswell*

[Pak_cricketer]

In my recent cup game (Yesterday) The opposition elected to bat on a Green pitch. In 10 overs the score was 24-3 with opening bowler Ahmed taking 2 wickets and Masilo taking 1 wicket. My team got them all out in 45.4 overs and they were able to make 158 with Masilo Taking 4/12 off 8, Y. Ahmed taking 3/25 off 7.4, and Chanderpaul taking 2/18 off 10
My innings started explosively but then after a few overs the opens slowed down. They both stayed till the end and chased the score in 25.5 overs. A. Ahmed made 75 off 83 balls with 4 fours and 1 six. Sansome made 81 off 74 balls with 10 fours
Colin Masilo was named man of the match

I won the toss and elected to bat on a cracked pitch (feebly hoping that the groundsman might be able to turn it into a Hard and Fast from an uneven).
It was a delightful batting session. Both openers breezed along at 8 an over and nearly made 150 together, they got to 141 before one of them caught behind. The next partnership was pretty big, 167 taking us to 318 with both batsmen making centuries. The next three partnerships starting making ok scores before the innings finally ended on 366/5.

Bowling was almost as carefree - all out for 269 in 47 overs - their highest score was 73. In fact, I screwed up on the team orders, so three batters had a bowl (takign 2 wickets between them ) and the wickie gave away 9 byes. However, the best player of the game was Marples, who took a career best of 5/31. Great stuff.

exciting match,


didnt give thme enough respect, they batted the 50 overs, but 4 wickets in the final over (by dlomo) meant they were about 240/8


lost 2 failr early wickets. but a defensive opner (got MOM) top scored, and mampe the number 4 hit a quickfrie 63 (ish)

then nelson and swift were explosive and finished it off with 6 overs to spare, although nobody after them new which way to hold the bat

[Pak_cricketer]

I was expected to lose this game. Playing againest one of the Strongest teams in Pakistan. The Jehlum Blasters, were put in to bat first, and scored a huge total of 377 with Both openers getting 100's. At the End of the innings they got 377/2.

Now It was my turn to bat, really I didn't think that I would be able to get there. with my Star opener getting out on 2. But then Ul Rehman (35), Shakeel Masood (73) and Lister (100) Pulled it back. i had a little more chances of winnign this now. Hoping that my lsat 6 would qucken the Scoring Rate and reach the target before the innings ended. Powell was going that way geting 67 off 51 but none else stuck around, and we failed to get there. We ended with 307/7 at the end of 50 overs.

[Bilal91]

bad luck mate...

[Pak_cricketer]

Easy Game won today.. Actually, I thought It would be a challenge as they other team scored 233 and I didn't play Masood or Mahmood. Anyways, My Openers Crushed them, Gulzar Shahbaz got 102 off just 94 and Ul-Rehman got 125 from 100 balls! Tremendous Strike rate! Anyways we finished them in 32 overs without losing a wicket.

my bowlers are getting laughed at

My game today, 4th vs 2nd at the Dome.

We can tell you that Bennington Town CC won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a cracker! Hard and fast - should be a run-fest out there!!.

Briggs Bullets have selected Ainsworth, Ali, Hildred, Forbes, Stamp, Iftikhar, Whalley, Worthington, Mckinlay, Oneil, Pickford.

Bennington Town CC have picked Chadwick, Darcy, Makel, Willingham, Wickes, Raees, Prutton, Angell, Perry, Lamb, Rhodes.

End of Over 50: 308-5, runrate=6.16
Rhodes 10-1-45-1
Whalley* 6 (3 balls)
Ainsworth 146 (134 balls)

Last Wicket: Iftikhar b. Rhodes 7 (FOW: 301/5)

Decent score, but we were too slow around the 30-40 over mark or it could have been a lot more, Stamp scored 73 and put on 140 odd with Ainsworth for the 5th wicket. At the moment they are replying.

End of Over 4: 21-1, runrate=5.25, reqrunrate=6.26 (308-5)
Forbes 2-0-9-0
Darcy* 9 (10 balls)
Makel 8 (9 balls)

Last Wicket: Chadwick b. Oneil 4 (FOW: 4/1)

Should be interesting!

[ZoraxDoom]

This is gonna be one hell of a game:

End of Over 11: 41-3, runrate=3.73, reqrunrate=2.26 (128-10)
Ferry 6-0-24-3
Shipp* 18 (33 balls)
Crouch 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Bunn b. Ferry 4 (FOW: 41/3)

This wicket seems to be a nightmare to bat on. 87 runs to win, 7 wickets in hand. Balls left is irrelevant now. This should be a good one...

Crouch is going HAYWIRE!!

15.2 4 Arber to Crouch
Short, wide and Crouch launched himself into it.
15.1 6 Arber to Crouch
Oh my word, Crouch has really got hold of that one!

14.2 6 Salmon to Crouch
No messing about, Crouch sends it into orbit. Look out Sputnik!

End of Over 16: 65-4, runrate=4.06, reqrunrate=1.88 (128-10)
Arber 3-2-11-1
Crouch* 21 (16 balls)
Conelly 0 (6 balls)

Last Wicket: Shipp c. Johns b. Arber 20 (FOW: 45/4)

Shipp fell in the 13th over.
63 runs needed, 6 wickets in hand. Crouch has gone beserk, and Conelly and Dennis left to come...

Well, Crouch has a Peg Leg apparently...

16.2 3 Salmon to Crouch
Oh, they've turned for a third, could be risky with Crouch's peg leg..... But they make it. Good running chaps! Salmon does not look pleased with the fielding.

16.4 3 Salmon to Crouch
Worked behind square by Crouch and the non-striker calls for a quick single. Wild throw from Arber gifts them two overthrows.

Nooo!!!

20.2 W Salmon to Crouch
Great throw by Andrew, but it looks like Crouch's home. No! The umpire has ruled that he failed to ground his bat!

A well made 32. This is possibly the turning point. last pair in, Dennis and Conelly...

End of Over 21: 82-5, runrate=3.90, reqrunrate=1.62 (128-10)
Salmon 4-1-21-0
Conelly* 3 (18 balls)
Dennis 0 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Crouch Run Out 32 (FOW: 80/5)

Chasing 129 should have never been this hard...

His fith bowler -who is real crap- is actually ending up with good figures due to the fact that this match is very delicately poised. Another wicket could cost this one for me. Dennis has yet to launch into the opposition due to this fact...

End of Over 26: 96-5, runrate=3.69, reqrunrate=1.38 (128-10)
Andrew 3-0-8-0
Dennis* 7 (21 balls)
Conelly 10 (31 balls)

Last Wicket: Crouch Run Out 32 (FOW: 80/5)

32 more to win, but I know all too well that it won't be as easy as it may seem...

[FreddieFan]

Nah, you've got this in the bag. I was always backing you to win this one.

[ZoraxDoom]

26.6 4 Salmon to Conelly
That's four all the way. The fielders watch in awe as Conelly hammers it into the fence.

End of Over 27: 102-5, runrate=3.78, reqrunrate=1.17 (128-10)
Salmon 7-1-33-0
Dennis* 8 (26 balls)
Conelly 14 (33 balls)

Last Wicket: Crouch Run Out 32 (FOW: 80/5)

Hundred up, only 26 more...

27.4 3 Andrew to Conelly
Played to backward point who overthrows. A single becomes three.
27.1 4 Andrew to Dennis
Drives on the up, through extra cover for four.

That's more like it.

End of Over 28: 111-5, runrate=3.96, reqrunrate=0.82 (128-10)
Andrew 4-0-17-0
Dennis* 14 (30 balls)
Conelly 17 (35 balls)

Last Wicket: Crouch Run Out 32 (FOW: 80/5)

9 off that over. Only 18 runs away from victory...

End of Over 29: 115-5, runrate=3.97, reqrunrate=0.67 (128-10)
Salmon 8-1-37-0
Dennis* 16 (33 balls)
Conelly 18 (39 balls)

Last Wicket: Crouch Run Out 32 (FOW: 80/5)

Only 14 more...

29.2 6 Andrew to Conelly
That ball will come down with snow on it!

8 so far, it could be done this over...

Dennis ends the game in style...

30.1 6 Salmon to Dennis
That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it, super shot that, six runs to Dennis.

And that's the end of the match. TT Lions won by 5 wickets.
Port Royal Pirates 128-10
TT Lions 131-5
