FC week 4

[* ORM *]

Thought I'd get my thoughts in early this week. Make or break as far as my FC future goes. Lose and I'll throw in the towel, accept relegation and a season and a half of dullness and focus on OD. Draw and it is still in the meting pot while a win will revive my flagging interest in this form of the game. Away on a slow pitch and brought in one of the big gun bowlers. My all rounder is sitting in as batsmen only with the option of adding him as a 2nd innings bowler if a result looks possible. Have, bar one player, the strongest possible batting line up with a bowling attack heavily weighted towards a couple of key bowlers. It's about time some of the batsmen stood up and got themselves counted. I'll take the draw.

Throwing mine, as fitness is dead. Hoping the oppo throws it too so we have a chance of winning.

Snap! Cup and OD now priority.

 

[The General]

Just playing a few and hoping for a draw ...

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Home to a (pretty good) BOT. Schoeman, Lea and Middleton are all not fit enough, so a lot rests on the shoulders of Des to carry an inexperienced bowling attack. Evelyn, Nagga and Ricketts will need to score the bulk of the runs. Could do with a win to make sure I stay in touch with the top 4, as I don't want to go back to V

 

[Napster]

away to 2nd, I'm top. They only have a batsman and a few others, but I've only got a small squad, so should be close.

 

[SUFC_Al]

playing a much better side and have fitness problems with my best players...game thrown.

 

[loz]

throwing it too against the league leaders, seems to be a pattern here...

Anyone else's game not started yet ?
