What is the best match you've played in, I don't just mean the one where you absolutely thrashed them, I mean the games were it would have been great to watch.

Mine has to be a cup semi final game about 3 years ago. We put on a massive 220 off our 20 overs... We were bowling tightly but they still managed to amass 205 off 19 overs.
Meaning they needed 16 off the last over...
First ball = 4
Second Ball = Wide
Third Ball = Wide
Fourth = Dot
Fith = 4
Sixth = Dot
Seventh = We just needed a legitimate delivery and we would win unless it went for 6
 
The ball was bowled and the batsman slog sweept it out to deep midwicket, one bounce four. All the other team came running onto the pitch screaming and cheering shouting 6 runs! The umpire signalled 6!!!!
There was nearly a bust up between the parents and coaches lol

i think i remeber that game wernt it u bowling the last over

[Tom]

Judging by my maths then they'd have needed only 2 off the last ball?  Unless you play 5 ball overs.

[Michael K]

u can tell it was made up lol i think that one got hit for six aswell 

[gramw]

Tom would it not be 205+4+1+1+4=215 :S

[Tom]

Tom would it not be 205+4+1+1+4=215 :S

3 fours in there. 1st ball, 5th ball and 7th ball. Making 14.

There should be 8 balls however to account for the 2 wide balls bowled if regular 6 ball overs are being bowled

[Michael K]

u missed the six

[Tom]

Ahh I missed the bit where it said the "Umpire signals 6" I just scan read it, and read the one bounce 4 bit.

My error. But yeh even if it was a 4, there would have still been a ball to get 2 off which isn't that difficult.

Hmm i dont know where i went wrong but of course it wasnt made up
It was GB Sports vs my old team

1 of the best games I played in was 2 weeks ago,

40 over cricket, youth development league. Opposition scored 311 and we were 305 chasing, needed 10 off the last over and one of our guys tried to hit the ball into orbit instead he got not alot on in and we didnt win! I think we should have gone singles and push for 2's! And i should have scored more than 6!

School final and we need 6 to win off the last over.
1st ball wicket caught at point
Last pair at the wicket now
2nd ball dot ball
3rd ball single
4th, 5th and last balll were all dots, so annoying to lose by 5 runs when we should have won.

Fairly tense, ill-tempered game but it was a hell of a close finish:

2 to win, ball misfielded at mid-off resulting in a scampered single. Keeper fumbles the return and the skipper is so frustrated that he runs in and kicks the ball for an overthrow!

School game a couple of years ago, they needed 2 to win off the last over with 3 wickets in hand and my mate bowls the last over.

1st ball - Dot
2nd ball - Dot
3rd ball - Dot
4th ball - Dot
5th ball - Dot
6th ball - Run Out, queue jubilant celebrations

In a festival game last week...

We bowled a team out for 140 in about 35 of 42 overs, meaning we get 7 more overs to add to our 38. After an early wicket, we get to 137 for 4, captain on 55*. 3 to win, 6 wickets left, about 15 overs left, what could go wrong...?
Everything. Captain holed out to mid-off, and our hellishy weak tail in. 7 overs later, we were all out for 139... S#@t!!!!!

[Howzat]

Oh my! Couldnt they even edge 3 runs between them!
