OD Match 1

[BrettieAngell]

We can tell you that Duckers XI won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking slow and low. Tough for everyone. Could be a low scoring match on this sunny day.

Let’s join our team for ball-by-ball commentary.

End of Over 27: 116-1, runrate=4.30
Hooper 6-0-28-0
Sobers* 60 (82 balls)
Robert 9 (22 balls)
Last Wicket: Mehar c. Hooper b. Bishop 45 (FOW: 87/1)

Going along quite nicely at the moment, slow pitch so its hard to know what a good total will be.

 

[Napster]

they went first and got 236-8. we're 37-1 and lower run rate.

I suspect my 252 for 4 is too much for opps on my slow dusty but they're not far behind RR and no early wickets.

 

[Napster]

Allan's gone, and we're making hard work of it.

 

[Napster]

[MrB]

Oh my, possibly the best 'team' in the game (unbalanced monster teams aside) and after a run harvest in the last few overs we're right in it!

The keeper couldn't reach that one, but first slip certainly did.

[MrB]

Lost by a single run, gutted! They bowled us out for 41 last time so to come so close is pleasing but annoying at the same time. Our league showed how tight it's going to be with two single run wins and the other teams getting home with 1.5 and 3.5 overs to spare. Problem is after next week I'll be a bowler down due to finances. It's really going to be a struggle.
