when cricket gets boring...

[Kimbo]

well, yesterday i played in a very boring match...
my team made 280 of the fifty(i got 22, batting at 9), bowled the other side out for 59. sounds kind of exciting.. lotsa wickets, lotsa runs...
well the other team made 59 off about 40 overs...!
dont you hate it when the batting side cant win, but decide to just drag it out and block every ball... i do!
gave me some nice figures though... 5-2-7-1

My game was similar. We got 219/9 off our 50 overs(I got 50 opening in a 103 opening partnership) and then we bowled East Shirley out for 68 in the 28th over. It is good though. we now our at the top of the table now that the first round is complete.

we are top of the table after 2 rounds ig:

 

[Kiwi]

2 rounds or 2 games?.. we only have 4 teams in our compition and have played them all

 

[Kimbo]

two games... but thats two rounds... isn't it.

Yea sorry.. I am think of something else. I am think that we have played every team once already etc.
Rounds could be used as both.
Well done with your bowling. Wish I could bowl that economicly with my leggies

In Division 'A' here yesterday Muscat CT thumped 410+ runs off their alloted 50 overs and the other side scored 286/7 in reply in 50 overs....how about that for a high scoring match. Again nothing to blame but for the cement pitches played on.

Yeah I see sunil Havascar's point, in fact we have it alot here in Oman, and that is the reason why I hate point systems based on how many wickets are lost and how quickly runs are scored. I'm more in support of 2 or 3 points given in the case of a win and 0 for a lose, 1 for a tie.

It comes round to the "Losing Draw" rule... and a whole new can of worms opened up.
