FC- week 6

[loz]

I'll start it off this week. Home to Oliver's XI in a game I should be aiming to win. though i've got a few players down to invigorated, his fitness problems are worse, and I can rest players in comfort on friday as I've got a bot team in the OD league. I've set a dusty pitch, on what are think are quite sensible grounds:

- my best bowler is a spinner
- he doesn't have any.

see?

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Playing the side that is 2nd in our division, expecting to get beat as he has a player with BTR of 142,530, wages of 82,243, and a FC batting average of 2,102 ! 8 inns, 7no's, with 7 tons and a best of 406*

Brucie and Big O are both at Invigorated, so rest until Friday, Des and The King are both at Energetic but will play. Everyone else is Sublime.

 

[MrB]

My oppo has all sorts of fitness problems, 5 of his top 6 are fair or below and the one that is fit appears to be a high WK with no batting. Consequently we rest the Big 3 - Suthers, Cooky & Richie.

We're home so I'm hoping to roll them out quickly then bat for an eternity.

 

[Napster]

Playing the top side and I'm going to get a walloping.

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Ganzfeld

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this partially cloudy and humid day.

83k pw man plays and opens the batting, could be a long day in the dirt for my boys.

1 1=6 v DIBS DIPPERS

We can tell you that 1 1=6 won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this sunny day.

Did anyone else notice that as the match was being calculated before the start that the players fitness went down, then back up when the game started.

[Yorkshire Blue]

Playing the team I'm guessing is bottom. Should be a very easy win. I'm hoping I bowl them out very, very quickly as I have major fitness issues with my bowlers.

Lost the toss so am batting. Holt, my trainee batsman has just made what I think is his maiden century, so hopefully a nice experience pop there. 195-0 off 29.1 overs.
