BT Cup Round 5

[Yorkshire Blue]

Not my best ever total, but a couple of early wickets helped, and the 14 off Mapes' last over ddin't help

End of Over 13: 73-2, runrate=5.62, reqrunrate=4.84 (251-6)
Mapes 7-0-46-1
Pembridge* 21 (27 balls)
Thomas 24 (16 balls)

Last Wicket: Finnan c. Boateng b. Mapes 22 (FOW: 41/2)

113-3

I don't fancy my chances too much. I make you favourite, and would price my spread for total at 175-195.

Pembridge has poor concentration and stamina, and the next guy in is my trainee and has only respectable batting form.

 

[Grayson]

And that's the end of the match. Southend won by 7 wickets.
White Lodge Wizards 165-10
Southend 168-3


End of Over 37: 168-3, runrate=4.54
Philpott 6-0-35-0
Thay* 16 (27 balls)
11 (18 balls)

Super win :D

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Looks like Toddy is going to knock me out.

Griffiths, my key man on a turning track out. 168-4 chasing 252 with a run a ball now required.

Pembridge is tiring and slow-scoring, Holt wont be able to score off Gamage and whilst Ramsden and McIntosh can hit a few quick runs, it won't be enough.

 

[Grayson]

9 to win, 4 overs and 2 wickets left. Gonna be close!

 

[Grayson]

Southend United win by 7 runs. Jesus, that's a shock. Mr B about to go into the last 128 too.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

And Toddy knocks me out. My last 4 wickets went in 7 balls.

Ramsden, my all-rounder got 34 off 17 balls, but got out with just 9 needed in 4 and a bit overs, and the tail then just collapsed.

 

[Grayson]

I've got a bot next round:
Bowled Over
Top Order: superb
Middle Order: respectable
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling:quality
Spin Bowling: sensational
Fielding: woeful

Naturally they're all in worthless form. Reckon I can win? Looks an early wickets to win job, and as bots choose to bat first anyway, I just need nice conditions.

 

[MrB]

Woo hoo! Nice work Muse & Toddy too!

We have a what looks like a very close game against a Level II team. Toddy plays Bulldogs!

 

[MrB]

Oh and is this the same Cold Rod Curtis who's been a total loser for the last two seasons?

Batting M I R n.o. Ave SR HS C st 50s 100s
Season 9 7 676 4 225.33 104.48 172 5 0 3 3

That includes an opening day duck as well!

 

[MrB]

Blimey, Nick pulled off a fair old win as well!

[Bob Cratchitt]

Oh well I had sneaky suspicion i was going to lose this has the team is a bit fatigued, so now is the time to get them rested for the FLSA Cup and my promotion push.

Good luck to the lads still in.

 

[The General]

VWD chaps!

:)

 

[MrB]

And Toddy knocks me out. My last 4 wickets went in 7 balls.

Ramsden, my all-rounder got 34 off 17 balls, but got out with just 9 needed in 4 and a bit overs, and the tail then just collapsed.

Could have played in the SZ Cup after all!
