PP Battrick Leage II: QF, SF, and Finals

[iZeeshan]

After some difficulties, the following teams have moved on:

iZeeshan - Pakistani Pwnage
Hasbeen - Rebels
S_Haq - Tom Cats
Hari Sombar - India Rules
Umarbeast - Pakistan Heros
MCMLXXXII - MCMLXXXII
Big Daddy - Pakiblitz
Haroon Yasin - Haroon United

These fixtures have come out completely random. I am not out there to get anyone, or have myself win. I can't help if someone gets an easy match up or if someone else gets a really hard one.

A. iZeeshan vs Haroon Yasin
B. Hasbeen vs S_Haq
C. Hari Sombar vs Umarbeast
D. MCMLXXXII vs Big Daddy

It had to come out easy for someone, and hard for one other person. I hate how I am playing HY, because everyone here thinks he's terrible, while he has won every single game, and now I will get the tag of "cheater".

Good Luck to everyone for the next rounds!

Oh and, the semi finals will go:

The winner of A vs The winner of D
The winner of B vs The winner of C

Then the two winners will play against each other.

[umarbeast]

But I just Played Hari zee?? Do I play him again??

[Straight Bat]

That was in the 2nd group stage.

This is do or die, u play him for a semi final spot now

[iZeeshan]

It came out random. It doesn't matter who played who.

[umarbeast]

Ok I guess I will have to give him another pasting ;)

[iZeeshan]

Haha, it'll be good to see a rematch.

[Hari Sombar]

Ok I guess I will have to give him another pasting ;)


That was a warm up umar ... watch out ;-)

[Hari Sombar]

iZee, I don't think your supposed to do it randomly ... I think your supposed to do tables from the matches and work from that .... 1st team vs last team , 2nd team vs 2nd last team , and so on .....

[iZeeshan]

Ah crap! You are right!

Has anyone accepted challenges yet? Cuz I know a couple of people challenged each other.

[Hari Sombar]

Ah crap! You are right!

Has anyone accepted challenges yet? Cuz I know a couple of people challenged each other.


Well you ain't done no tables so you gonna have to keep it the same ?

[The Godfather]

no not you Izee i am out now my run has ended but are you going to change them as harei was saying in the previous post?

[Straight Bat]

it might be too late now.

and also, if you did it random for the QF, how will you decide who plays who in the SF (random again?)

[iZeeshan]

No. Its listed above.

[umarbeast]

Also explain the whole where the match is played thing. Can i challenge Hari on my ground this time???

[iZeeshan]

Hari should be playing at his own ground.

[MCMLXXXII]

I had accepted already.

[S_haq]

hasbeen can you cancel the challenge i sent(its supposed to be at your ground) or you can accept if it doesn't matter to you

[iZeeshan]

No the fixtures listed above are staying.

[umarbeast]

Are you going to update the table or should we challenge??

[MCMLXXXII]

Who do I play?

[umarbeast]

You play zeeshan

[MCMLXXXII]

hey is iZee anywhere? when r u going to accept the challenge?

[umarbeast]

izee still has plenty of time to accept the challenge. So be Patient.

[Straight Bat]

he has a right to be worried considering izee hasn't been online since the 13th.

[MCMLXXXII]

He accepted the challenge.

I think he is on vacation but I suppose he is interested enough to win this tournament to check battrick.

[Hari Sombar]

He accepted the challenge.

I think he is on vacation but I suppose he is interested enough to win this tournament to check battrick.


Obviously since he got to the SF's

[iZeeshan]

Har har har.

Of course.

Game tomorrow. Gonna be an excellent one. Who is in the other semis?

[umarbeast]

Me and the Rebels :)

If he plays his front line batsmen and bowlers I will lose.

[MCMLXXXII]

So who am I playing in the final?

[Straight Bat]

wow well played MCM.

Rolled izee over, good luck in the final mate!

[Hari Sombar]

MCM, your playing rebels in the final, good luck to u both

[umarbeast]

Anyone know of any other cup I can join since this one is done in BT???

[iZeeshan]

Jesus christ I got burned! Amazing play MCM! I got totally rolled over and I have no idea how the hell it happened, but well played, and GL in the finals.

[MCMLXXXII]

Hey Rebels, I have challanged you, please accept. Who is that anyway? Hasbeen?

[Hari Sombar]

yeah, its HB

[MCMLXXXII]

Today we will have the final of the 2nd PP cup. I will be playing Hasbeen's Rebels, and it seems to be a very interesting match. HB's team is very strong and he is the favourite to win, but I pulled off upsets in the quarterfinal and semifinal so I am hoping for the same here. My players are rested and I am playing my best players for this game. in a season where I have not done that well, it would be great to win this cup.

so HB, are you ready?

[FAM]

Good luck to you both!

[Straight Bat]

yea gd luck, who's playing at home?

[hasbeen]

good luck to u to mate. you seem like a nice guy so if i do lose the final, i wouldnt mind losing to u. im playing my best team too so i will have no excuses for losing. may the best team win.

ps looking at your squad i wouldnt say u are the underdog nor have u been in the quarters or semis. you need to give yourself some well deserved credit for building a good team.

i would say its 55 - 45 in my favour but i wouldnt be surprised if u pulled off a victory tomorrow.

[Straight Bat]

15 mins till the start!

[Hari Sombar]

Hb is batting first -

End of Over 41: 210-2, runrate=5.12
Allen 6-0-38-0
Allan* 45 (77 balls)
Harber 94 (100 balls)


Looks on path for a score between 260 - 320

38.5 . Ashraf to Allan
Ouch! That has hit Allan right on his protector. Muslehuddin offers to give them a rub to make him feel better though Allan kindly declines.

:O :))) :))) MCM, why you have this dirt guy in your team ?? lol

[FAM]

lol

Harber gone on 96

216-3

[Hari Sombar]

End of Over 38: 174-3, runrate=4.58, reqrunrate=8.17 (271-5)
Reeve 9-0-41-1
Khalil* 55 (77 balls)
Javeduddin 15 (15 balls)
Last Wicket: Ahmed Run Out 60 (FOW: 142/3)

very even game

[MCMLXXXII]

I need 68 runs in 8 overs with 7 wickets in hand. I think I might not make it unless these players start hitting now. He was 271-5 and I am right now 204-3 in 42 overs.

[Hari Sombar]

You could pull another upset, just need a few big overs

[MCMLXXXII]

End of Over 43: 209-4, runrate=4.86, reqrunrate=9.00 (271-5)
Barnett 7-1-31-2
Khalil* 67 (90 balls)
Gangat 1 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Javeduddin lbw b. Barnett 37 (FOW: 207/4)

just lost a wicket!

[MCMLXXXII]

Damn it! Damn it! I lost the game!

End of Over 44: 210-7, runrate=4.77, reqrunrate=10.33 (271-5)
Carlsen m 10-0-54-3
Khalil* 68 (91 balls)
Muslehuddin 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Ashraf c. Barnett b. Carlsen m 0 (FOW: 210/7)
43.6 W Carlsen m to Ashraf
Hells bells! How did he get to that? Brilliant fielding of the highest order from Barnett in the slips, Ashraf applauds as he wanders back to the pavilion.
43.5 . Carlsen m to Ashraf
Angled in, beats the bat and hits him on the pads. The appeal is turned down as the ball was missing leg stump.
43.4 W Carlsen m to Zahid
Great delivery, perfect length, Zahid went for the cover drive off the back foot, ball got the inside edge and crashed into the stumps.
43.3 . Carlsen m to Zahid
He's nicked that one, didn't carry to first slip.
43.2 W Carlsen m to Gangat
Bowled him!! Gangat throws his bat to the ground in disgust as Carlsen m does his happy dance.
43.1 1 Carlsen m to Khalil
Khalil just guides that down to third man for a single. Good cricket.

[Hari Sombar]

What the hell, thats crazy !!

[MCMLXXXII]

And that's the end of the match. rebels won by 38 runs.
rebels 271-5
MCMLXXXII 233-10

well played HB

[Hari Sombar]

Congrats HB, he's defended his crown

[hasbeen]

it was much closer than the scorecard suggests. your team collapsed at the end though.

well player mcmxllx. good final

[hasbeen]
