Battrick - Match Day 2

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Resting 10 of my 1st team in order to give them the best possible chance in Sunday's Cup game.

I'm TIE against a bot, so shouldn't really be a problem.

We can tell you that solihull municipal won the toss and elected to bat

End of Over 2: 0-0, runrate=0.00
Ewart 1-1-0-0
Hazell* 0 (6 balls)
Tau 0 (6 balls)


HKB

We can tell you that Sherwood CCC won the toss and elected to field

End of Over 5: 12-0, runrate=2.40
Fredericks 3-1-9-0
Keigher* 3 (10 balls)
Griffith 8 (20 balls)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Cheers BB. Sherwood are a bit of a 3 man team.

They have 3 amazing players who will probably completely destroy me, but here's hoping....

ps Bad toss to lose. Really wanted to bowl first at them.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

No probs mate. I hadn't realised you had changed your name :p

 

[The General]

I was 6-0 after 2 overs but havent looked since then ...

 

[MrB]

I love this game!

End of Over 8: 15-3, runrate=1.88
Henderson 4-0-8-2
Askew* 9 (23 balls)
Curtis 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Botham c. Malik b. Henderson 4 (FOW: 15/3)

I wouldn't mind if one batsman consistently failed but all of them do. Every week.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Yeah, YB was my original SZ name originating from my uni days up there. I got it changed over to HKB when I moved over there, but seemed to have re-registered as YB on the switchover.

I suppose I'm living closer to Yorkshire than Hong Kong these days...

 

[The General]

39-0 off 11!
SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW
B ... ouch! :(

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

End of Over 13: 43-2, runrate=3.31
Harris 2-1-4-2
Hazell* 19 (36 balls)
Nyikadzino 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Allison c. Raziuddin b. Harris 0 (FOW: 43/2)

Fairly straight-forward as expected.


YB / HKB / Whatever your name is now

End of Over 14: 47-1, runrate=3.36
Huddlestone 2-0-12-0
Keigher* 32 (43 balls)
Canning 6 (17 balls)

Last Wicket: Griffith c. Bunn b. Fredericks 8 (FOW: 16/1)



B, that's nasty. You could end up in the same situation I was in last year, where I lost my 1st 2 games and the subsequent Morale hits just killed me.

 

[MrB]

It will probably get worse, he changed from green to dusty just before the game and his £16,000 wage spinner is now on.

End of Over 14: 35-3, runrate=2.50
Malik 2-0-10-0
Askew* 18 (43 balls)
Curtis 11 (18 balls)

Last Wicket: Botham c. Malik b. Henderson 4 (FOW: 15/3)

I am on a TIE though, I get on pretty well with the other manager and we agreed a mutual TIE. Suited me as I was going to TIE anyway!

 

[MrB]

Wooo!

End of Over 16: 40-4, runrate=2.50
Malik 3-0-11-1
Curtis* 13 (22 balls)
Cunningham 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Askew b. Malik 20 (FOW: 40/4)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

LOL - are you trying to save player's fitness levels for the cup?

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Wooo!

End of Over 16: 40-4, runrate=2.50
Malik 3-0-11-1
Curtis* 13 (22 balls)
Cunningham 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Askew b. Malik 20 (FOW: 40/4)

Don't worry B, Curtis is still there....

 

[MrB]

Don't jest, 20 is our third highest score of the season so far I think as we've had two tiny totals to chase in the cup.

 

[MrB]

Don't worry B, Curtis is still there....

Yeah, super :rolleyes:

 

[The General]

End of Over 20: 77-0, runrate=3.85
Hindle 3-0-15-0
Lamb* 47 (65 balls) ( strong / strong )
Ottley 29 (55 balls) ( comp / strong )

Still slow stuff but its better than being 100-5!!

 

[MrB]

End of Over 21: 52-5, runrate=2.48
Irving 1-0-2-1
Cunningham* 7 (17 balls)
Holsgrove 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Curtis b. Irving 18 (FOW: 52/5)

His star bowler has just come back on and that's a respectable and a mediocre at the crease. My new bowler is going to need a spectacular debut!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

End of Over 22: 59-2, runrate=2.68
Ewart 6-1-18-0
Hazell* 27 (62 balls)
Nyikadzino 7 (29 balls)

Last Wicket: Allison c. Raziuddin b. Harris 0 (FOW: 43/2)

V. slow going in my game, like watching paint dry.


YB

End of Over 22: 84-1, runrate=3.82
Hodges 1-0-6-0
Canning* 17 (42 balls)
Keigher 56 (67 balls)

Last Wicket: Griffith c. Bunn b. Fredericks 8 (FOW: 16/1)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

My game is hardly much quicker!

I was concerned about their star bowlers so set my top 3 less attacking than normal, but they'll have their **** bowlers on at the moment and I really need to be attacking them, because I'm sure their star men will be bowling at the death.

 

[The General]

Hundred is up and the pace is picking up too!!

End of Over 24: 103-0, runrate=4.29
Hindle 5-0-24-0
Lamb* 55 (73 balls)
Ottley 45 (72 balls)

 

[MrB]

I'm currently on 18 balls without scoring, beat that!
