BT - Cup Round 4 & Week 5 YP

[Grayson]

2 wickets 3 runs off that over. 11 to win here. Jeffers has an over left, he's gone for 77 so far. Need him to pull something out the bag but fear this over will lose the game.

231-6 chasing 241 all out.

Right on ****ing cue he gets hit for 4. Jesus. Wish they'd implement flexibility into the bowling, I've got a competent bowling ahead of a remarkable.

 

[MrB]

Will keep as a reserve bowler:

Gareth Ferris - 17 yo, BT Rating=4,476
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, lively fitness.
An attacking player with feeble leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: abysmal Concentration: worthless
Bowling: mediocre Consistency: respectable
Fielding: worthless

 

[Grayson]

1 more ball to get through Jeffers. 6 to win. I can see this going for 6.

It's a single. 4 wickets v 5 runs. If this wasn't BT I'd have no hope, but there's always a chance. Come on Resha.

 

[MrB]

Im getting worried:

42.2 3 Singh lali to Fernandes
Good stroke. Short and just outside off. Fernandes waits and cuts it late.
42.1 4 Singh lali to Fernandes
Gorgeous cover drive.

End of Over 42: 198-8, runrate=4.71, reqrunrate=4.50 (233-10)
Sajjad 9-3-17-2
Fernandes* 9 (7 balls)
Ramage 22 (24 balls)

Last Wicket: Sanders lbw b. Sajjad 4 (FOW: 173/8)

 

[MrB]

Need Suthers to come back asap!

End of Over 43: 207-8, runrate=4.81, reqrunrate=3.86 (233-10)
Singh lali 7-0-48-0
Fernandes* 17 (10 balls)
Ramage 23 (27 balls)

Last Wicket: Sanders lbw b. Sajjad 4 (FOW: 173/8)

 

[Grayson]

2 runs off the over, no wickets. Need Rennie to do something remarkable (pun) now.

Ramage 23 (27 balls)

Last Wicket: Sanders lbw b. Sajjad 4 (FOW: 173/8)

Both batsmen have half centuries to their names, so they aren't complete Chris Martins, but Fernandes will lose his bottle: he's abysmal experience.

 

[Grayson]

Lost by 4 wickets. Useless ****ers

Bad luck, you were probably only a wicket away from progressing as well.

Was one bowler light in the end. Jeffers, who wasn't even the worst I fielded, went for bloody 83. Think I might sack him after that, not even worthy of being a reserve.

Love the way my woeful lower order is embarassingly outscored by their worthless, too. Crap game sometimes this.

 

[MrB]

Nice win Toddy. We appear to be heading out unless a wicket falls.

End of Over 46: 219-8, runrate=4.76, reqrunrate=3.75 (233-10)

You've got the same frustration as me currently. Bloody annoying isn't it?

Toddy's win was very impressive against Flying Ferrets, who will spank me in the league this season.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

All down to Suthers now MrB...

One out B

47.2 W Sutherland to Fernandes
OUT! Fantastic catch from Sutherland, fielding off his own bowling! Fernandes thought there were another four runs to his name, but Sutherland dived onto that drive, and it stuck in his left hand. Inspirational!

Like your style:

47.3 W Sutherland to Stirk
Stunning delivery by Sutherland and an amazing catch at full stretch by Askew.

 

[Grayson]

You've been like Australia this week B, no matter what position you're in you still win!

I'm more like England. Collapse and bowl poorly.
