Shock news - Mendis didn't clean up the tail. Not so shock news - having failed to do so, he didn't really do much else, either.

Badrinath is having a seriously good start to the season.

 

[Cevno]

Badrinath WAG!!!!!

3 centuries in 3 matches now like in 4 innings i think.

Moderately happy with the total .
Sanga finally delivers too moving a place down,but the tail does not wag again.

Solid team effort. Did North mistake Siddle for Pup? Odd.

 

[Cevno]

Damn!!

Ended up missing Amir there.

Cheema blows a bit hot and cold.

Kind of match Kumar needs on the weekend, tbh. Mendis again not cleaning up the tail.

 

[Cevno]

Wtf?

Spinners not delivering on a turner again.

Cmon Miller and Gayle do some magic in the last innings.

                       Mick Lewis Inv XI won by 5 wkts.

I suspect the reason spinners apart from Murali haven't really performed to standard is because most of them aren't really very good, tbh,

 

[vcs]

Sachin WAFG. Cevno's tail letting him down.

 

[Cevno]

**** ****!!!!

Batting except Sanga and Badrinath not doing anything much here.

The tail gets keeped getting cleaned up again and again.

Thankfully Chanderpaul comes back next match.

Amir still out injured though.

 

[Noble One]

Awesome team result. Pleased with a win in a game that very few tipped us for the win.

Most batsmen played a role, and Hilfenhaus was an inspired selection.

 

[Cevno]

Sachin WAFG. Cevno's tail letting him down.

Has been throughout the tournament so far.
The batsman have made it up though until this match,

With Chanderpaul coming back next match,may have to play a extra batsman next game and use Gayle as fifth bowler.Goes well as a fifth bowler tbh.

May have to give some specific tail settings too.

A surprise result this!!

 

[Athlai]

Hilfy taking wickets hax amirite phlegm?

 

[centurymaker]

huge upset. is the sim alrite? so many upsets this round....

 

[Spark]

In terms of simming stats there's actually not a great deal to differentiate teams. Certainly not enough to make a string of upsets impossible.

 

[Cevno]

Still loss to a team with Sachin though.

Does not hurt that bad.

Amir will be tough to replace for the remaining 3 games too but atleast Chanderpaul is back.
