[* ORM *]

With the 20 20s coming i wished Id bowled to save PFL thats my default but I switched this a few days back amd forgot to swap back to default. last time I looked I was 333 for 1 with a few overs to come - will probably roll them out for 100 or less. Tomorrows 2020 is the hardest of the 3

 

[SUFC_Al]

Beyond Heresy:
End of Over 50: 309-6, runrate=6.18
Brazier 10-0-77-1
Spencer* 39 (38 balls)
King 24 (17 balls)

Last Wicket: Daniel b. Wood 26 (FOW: 265/6)

Pretty good total but I don't have great confidence in my bowling attack, it's going to be touch and go whether I get my promotion. :minger:

 

[loz]

though i was left out of MrB's list :p , Pettefershire CCC were playing today too. Bowled the oppo out for 76 and won by 10 wickets, meaning we stayed up in Div V in both forms of the game. spinners did the job again- Awan (3-3) and Cairns (4-7).

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Got rid of the two joke openers.

Their main batsman is hidden down at no.6 though.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Ominious.

3 of the first 4 balls my no.1 bowler has bowled to their no.2 batsman have gone for 4.

Game over I feel.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Another 2 wickets, but that now means their main two batsmen are in.

Their next two guys are all-rounders with high experience who can see them home if one of these can stick in.

 

[Napster]

Good knock. Prag on his 2nd 1dayer hits a cracking 65no.

End of Over 50: 368-2, runrate=7.36
Brackenbridge 10-0-70-0
Sutherland* 93 (88 balls)
Prag 65 (52 balls)

Last Wicket: Murray lbw b. Maxfield 142 (FOW: 233/2)

They're currently

Holroyd 4-2-6-1
Clare* 6 (23 balls)
Mclaughlin 12 (20 balls)

Last Wicket: Rennie c. Back b. Holroyd 4 (FOW: 8/1)

 

[Napster]

Woodgate 2-0-8-2
Healy* 6 (10 balls)
Mosimotsana 4 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Chikosi lbw b. Woodgate 0 (FOW: 38/4)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Livingstone's 3 overs have gone for 24 so far, Dodds' 2 for 12.

I need a run-out.

 

[Grayson]

Dobcross half way there with 6 wickets intact. Think you need tight bowling, another wicket and then a collapse mimicking your innings to get the win. How well would you fare back in II next season YB?

Not sure, my team hasn't progressed much this last year, whilst I expect the competition has.

I stacked my top order, MatSykes stacked his lower-middle order, so advantage is definitely with them as I can't see my team ripping through them like they did to me.

Is it not quite hard to progress over a season at the top due to a high level of skilled players? I guess though many sides still play some real trash players but have 5-6 superstars, although I say that blindly as I haven't checked out the top sides recently.

Sorry, who are you? :D

Well there are a couple of factors. First, there's the fitness hit if you train your first team. Second, my team is a bit older than most, as I figured out my training strategy before most teams did, so that my trainees improve less each week than younger trainees. Third, I didn't have the time to day-trade to build up my finances and so have been far less active than most in the transfer market (I've only signed 7 players in 7 seasons, two of which were fillers to play-in friendlies this season for a combined total of £5,000).

 

[Napster]

And that's the end of the match. Napster's XI won by 262 runs.
Napster's XI 368-2
TEAM ATHENS 106-10

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Game on now YB ! 15 off the next 3 could give it to you I reckon.

End of Over 37: 165-5, runrate=4.46, reqrunrate=4.54 (223-10)
Mcintosh 7-1-16-1
Brookfield* 62 (74 balls)
Wijesinghe 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Duggan lbw b. Mcintosh 81 (FOW: 165/5)

 

[MrB]

Nick is up surprisingly comfortably given the reporters summary:

Nineone ACC Whos your Daddy
Top Order: sensational exceptional
Middle Order: respectable superb
Lower Order: woeful woeful
Seam Bowling: remarkable exceptional
Spin Bowling: remarkable superb
Fielding: competent mediocre

Reckon he should do ok in III.

Not the ideal team to be dropping into Mrs BB's division!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Relegated.

Disappointing in that securing 5th spot should have been harder than winning my play-off.

I think I'm going to have to address the absence of a killer batsman.

 

[MrB]

I think I'm going to have to address the absence of a killer batsman.

If I get a bite on Mushy then that's something I'm going to try to address as well.
