FC - Week 6

[blues_r_best]

I'm trying to work out my transfers, I like the look of Liburd as a kind of top order batter/6th bowler and I have 9.5 million to spend and sell McVeigh, Bowden and Asher when they pop to get a young 5th bowler.

Would it be better to get Liburd now and hope for another 19yr old bowler comes on the market, or get a 19yr old bowler and hope another Batting A/R comes on the market?

 

[The General]

End of Over 54 (1 runs). General Stars: 127-0, runrate=2.35
Trail by 220 runs. (Spofforth & Sputnik 347-10)
Erasmus 14-2-36-0
Lamb* 71 (167 balls)
Bayliss 44 (163 balls)

Slow stuff but both teams look happy with a draw!

 

[The General]

:clap: Very good :)

He looks very nice. Sookie will be better at this time next year though! :) But im going to have to resist the urge of selling him for silly money!

More chance of a pure bowler coming on the market, rather than a specific A/R IMO.

Its difficult to tell, especially if he's been trained this season. He could be superb +0 if he has average secondaries. If he hasn't been trained this season, he'll be +2 at most.

Very nice player though, especially with the fast bowling.

 

[Napster]

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I think The King is playing for his red ink, he keeps taking a single off the 1st ball of the over and leaving Charlie to bat out the rest

End of Over 70 (1 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS: 227-9, runrate=3.24
Trail by 174 runs. (Danish Batmen 401-5 dec)

Johnson's all your mate.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

That'll teach him :)

The players are off the field for the change of innings.

End of Over 72 (4 runs). BATTY SHRIMPERS: 232-10, runrate=3.22
Trail by 169 runs. (Danish Batmen 401-5 dec)
Thomas 17-2-57-2
Charl* 1 (54 balls)

71.2 W Thomas to Evelyn
That one's come back the other way. It's totally fooled Evelyn who gifts a thick edge to the ever-reliable Mbangwn.

[* ORM *]

Bowled opps for 14 in first innings and 164 in second. That's 4th place and all the early season worries over. I won't go any higher than this but also won't slip back below 4th.

Trainee and 2nd best bowler follows up 5 for 10 with 7 for 25. 2nd line spinner 5 for 4 - all round star was rested for this game.

 

[Napster]

And that's the end of the match. Napster's XI won by an innings and 314 runs.

Last Wicket: Bayliss b. Erasmus 83 (FOW: 200/2)

I must admit i was close to a bid there BB, but haven't got ANY nets to spare, so alas, wasn't worth my while! I'll be bringing in Johnson in time for Friday!

There was only 2 of us bidding. Must be honest, I was surprised, but I'm not knocking it :)
