BT - OD Match 7

[Grayson]

You bat quite deeply now B? With 3 all-rounders you should be able to resist the BT collapses more than most.

1. Francis Canham (1560426)

RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, strong bowling form, moderate fitness.
A defensive player with woeful leadership skills and abysmal experience.

Plays For: Verbatim Vampires
Nationality: Australia
Age: 18 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 40,739
Wages: £4,988 p/w

Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: strong Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: quality Consistency: quality
Fielding: mediocre

This bloke has a bid of £6million. May try and get him, as even now he's an upgrade on Lever/Resha. Would mean I bat to 9, and could probably give him 2 nets. Only issue is the fella bidding on him has made 10million in transfers recently!

 

[blues_r_best]

Can we up the RR please? Plodding at 5/6 an over against tired bowlers isn't enough.

End of Over 44: 241-5, runrate=5.48, reqrunrate=9.50 (297-9)
Remaketse 7-0-49-1
Gamage* 75 (79 balls)
Hulse 6 (6 balls)

Last Wicket: Collymore c. Stevens b. Remaketse 2 (FOW: 225/5)

 

[Napster]

Just when I get a trainee WK, Back does the business

End of Over 44: 264-8, runrate=6.00, reqrunrate=16.33 (361-4)
Nguyen-lee 7-0-52-2
Chukwu* 0 (3 balls)
Wilkey 19 (15 balls)

Last Wicket: Retief c. Back b. Nguyen-lee 0 (FOW: 263/8)


43.6 lb1 Nguyen-lee to Chukwu
Chukwu has fallen over going for that one! He's lucky Back completely missed it or that would have been an easy stumping.
43.5 . Nguyen-lee to Chukwu
If you want to show youngsters the perfect way to play a defensive shot then that's a fine example!
43.4 . Nguyen-lee to Chukwu
An inside edge onto the pads. No run.
43.3 W Nguyen-lee to Retief
Back made a spectacular dive there, not sure if it was necessary but it was effective.
43.2 W Nguyen-lee to Wilding
Back has come right up to the stumps. Nguyen-lee launches his slower ball and Wilding dances like a fairy down the pitch, misses, falls over and it's an easy stumping for Back, who appears to have an attack of the giggles.
43.1 1 Nguyen-lee to Wilkey
Outside off, not quite middled but played well enough for a quick single.

 

[Grayson]

I hope it will be!

How much do you reckon he'll go for?

We'll see Thomas' price once my players sell tomorrow, and as they are similar although in different fields.

I think Montgomery will go for around £9-10million - there was a similar bowler to him on the list today who went for around that amount I believe.

 

[Napster]

Whitters cleans up for a great victory

And that's the end of the match. Napster's XI won by 97 runs.
Napster's XI 361-4
The Batters 264-10


End of Over 45: 264-10, runrate=5.87
Whittingham 7-0-42-4
Wilkey* 19 (15 balls)



44.4 W Whittingham to Birchall
A slower delivery... and he's out. He played all round that and got a top edge to mid on.
44.3 . Whittingham to Birchall
Full and just outside the off. This one is swinging away a touch, Birchall leaves it well alone and the ball goes through to the keeper.
44.2 . Whittingham to Birchall
It’s caught Birchall on the thumb, and that looked painful. He will need some magic spray.
44.1 W Whittingham to Chukwu
Big inswinging yorker crashes into his pads. Massive appeal and given!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I'll be annoyed if we lsoe this

Immortals v BATTY SHRIMPERS

Immortals won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Flat

End of Over 45: 232-5, runrate=5.16, reqrunrate=11.00 (286-7)

Mrs BB survived a BT collapse to record a great win

Rehtakul Veets CC&FC v DIBS DIPPERS

DIBS DIPPERS won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Cracked
And that's the end of the match. DIBS DIPPERS won by 2 wickets.
Rehtakul Veets CC&FC 204-10
DIBS DIPPERS 205-8

 

[Grayson]

Oh, looking again, the exceptional bowler went for nearly £12million! That's crazy. Look at the week's most expensive transfers, his name is Hayden Jenkins.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Hmm, Evelyn's double Exceptional.......

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

We'll see Thomas' price once my players sell tomorrow, and as they are similar although in different fields.

I think Montgomery will go for around £9-10million - there was a similar bowler to him on the list today who went for around that amount I believe.

Yeah, I think Montgomery will go for a bit more than I originally anticipated.

Think BB will be a bit more relaxed now!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

End of Over 47: 240-7, runrate=5.11, reqrunrate=15.67 (286-7)
Oconnor 9-1-45-2
Tretton* 65 (61 balls)
Greening 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Themba lbw b. Oconnor 0 (FOW: 240/7)

That should do it, and we're still in the promotion hunt :)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Think BB will be a bit more relaxed now!

Indeed, was starting to worry a tiny bit there.

 

[MrB]

You bat quite deeply now B? With 3 all-rounders you should be able to resist the BT collapses more than most.

The middle to lower order is going to get skittled by a high quality bowler but you can only hope they will add some runs:

5: Remarkable
6: Quality
7: Strong
8: Proficient
9: Respectable

For most games 7 to 9 are fairly irrelevant but they won the game for me today, if Sandy hadn't been at 8 we could have lost our last 4 wickets in successive balls.

 

[MrB]

First time I've fielded the full XI for a while, the ratings are encouraging:

Total Cricket ShrimperZone CC
Top Order: quality remarkable
Middle Order: strong superb
Lower Order: abysmal feeble
Seam Bowling: remarkable sensational
Spin Bowling: quality wonderful
Fielding: feeble competent

I'm sure that fielding will be making a difference.

 

[blues_r_best]

Probably end up 10 short

End of Over 48: 273-5, runrate=5.69, reqrunrate=12.50 (297-9)
Remaketse 9-0-68-1
Gamage* 92 (93 balls)
Hulse 20 (16 balls)

Last Wicket: Collymore c. Stevens b. Remaketse 2 (FOW: 225/5)

 

[Grayson]

Yeah, I think Montgomery will go for a bit more than I originally anticipated.

Think BB will be a bit more relaxed now!

Yeah, I'm really surprised at the price of them, I expected 10 million at most but it seems not.

 

[blues_r_best]

Need sixes...

End of Over 49: 283-5, runrate=5.78, reqrunrate=15.00 (297-9)
Donald 10-0-66-1
Hulse* 22 (18 balls)
Gamage 100 (97 balls)

Last Wicket: Collymore c. Stevens b. Remaketse 2 (FOW: 225/5)

Yeah, I'm really surprised at the price of them, I expected 10 million at most but it seems not.

The Flying Ferrets have just bought an exquisite for 10.5million. Not looking forward to bowling at him.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Game over. Very pleased to bowl them out for 257 on a Flat pitch in Sunny weather.

And that's the end of the match. BATTY SHRIMPERS won by 29 runs.
