Moops are a frustrating team. They have the bowling to get them into an awesome position but then fail to take advantage of it because of the batting.

Last two wickets were killer. Murali 49* off 59?!

Why on earth did Furball pick Yuvraj Singh? Though TBF to him, he's performed in both innings.

                       Furball's Fenoms won by 61 runs.
In the end a hell of a lot closer than people would have thought but one has to wonder what could have been had Steyn, Ali and Murali not put on 140 runs.

Picking the greatest wicket taker the world has ever seen is hardly an inspired pick... though it makes one wonder what the **** the rest of us were doing to let him go unpicked for so long.

Pretty happy with the result to be honest. I'm up against one of the better rated teams in the comp and to run them relatively close is quite pleasing. The middle order needs some desperate time in the nets though.

It's interesting to see how the pitch flattened out though. Pretty pleased that I got to bowl first. If bloody Murali and Steyn hadn't decided to put on over a 100 and my middle order hadn't collapsed it might have been a great upset.

Bowling first was a good call. The pitch definitely has quite a bit in it for quicks on the first day and there was weather about.

Ahh. Doesn't really matter, I was planning on bowling first. I think one of the few teams to select that choice

A couple did, actually. It's not the worst choice as a lot of the pitches do indeed offer a bit before flattening out later on. You have to always be careful on batting last on Murali's home pitch vs. Murali though...
