Simulation Cricket Authority: CricketMX.com vs Saintsational.com - 1st ODICricketMX.com vs Saintsational.com
1st ODI
In what was a low key event, in a somewhat anti-climatic series, CricketMX.com simply outclassed Saintsational.com in the 1st ODI at the WACA.
Winning the toss, and fielding first, Saintsational.com were bowled out for a modest 196. All of the bowlers had a piece of the action, with 3 apiece to p2p-sharing-rules, tunebud and Freezmizer. BONGOMAN got a single wicket.
If any positives can be taken from Saintsational.com's innings, it would be the batting display of their opening batsmen saint_mite and james_rose. The partnership was broken in the 22nd over, after the pair put on 134 runs. The rest dropped like flies, with Freezmizer taking 2 in the next over, and eventually the side lost all wickets in 10 overs.
saint_mite made 45, while james_rose found some form with a quickfire 89.
CricketMX.com had few problems chasing down the modest target, excluding HSVKing's first ball breakthrough; snaring the wicket of garmabeaneth.
dr sad and grinch2171's partnership was a joy to watch, with most of grinch2171's deliveries either flying out of the stadium, or rolling past the ropes. grinch2171 eventually got out for 69 (53), while dr sad made an unbeaten 105, which earned him the man of the match award.
BONGOMAN was the other not out batsman, with 3.
CricketMX.com took 2 points, plus the bonus point. The loss puts Saintsational.com at the bottom of the SCA ODI Rankings, making them the new minnows of world simulation cricket. Hawkheadquarters.com moves to 5th on the table. |
