So far so good. I'm on defense to begin my match and I'm holding my opponent to less than four runs per over. I checked out his bowlers, too, and their averages are about 6 runs per over, so I think I'm going to have an easy home win. I expected it, though. I scouted them before the match and they looked like a pretty easy team. And while I wrote this, I took my eighth wicket in the 34th over.
And my opponent's half of the innings ends with only 125 runs. My third bowler (spin bowler) took four wickets in four overs. I think I'm going to buy him several beers after the match.
I gave up 296 runs... after 7 "overs" I have 42 (but he only had 44 at this point) so we'll see... long way to go.
I'm in the middle of a first-rate screwjob. I put out a pretty decent batting lineup and watched Seargent put up 95 runs and the rest of the order put up less than 100, combined, as we were bowled out at 168-10. Now, my idiot bowlers can't get a ********ing wicket and I'm about to lose with about 20 overs and 8 wickets to spare.
