OD - Match 5

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Spent 10.9m on this. That was the extent of my budget, couldn't afford anymore than that. Bank balance is -94k, wish update wasn't tomorrow but that's life. Good price or too much?

Good price I reckon. Superb* Stamina is a bonus. Elite Experience as well. Only minor prob is PFL, but you can soon sort that out.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Good effort from 117-5. Bowling conditions, so could be interesting if we can knock a couple over early doors.

End of Over 50: 193-10, runrate=3.86
Henshall 10-1-32-4
Evelyn* 117 (146 balls)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think Mrs BB may have enough....

End of Over 50: 363-1, runrate=7.26
Uys 10-0-84-0
Hutton* 193 (157 balls)
Morgan 144 (133 balls)

Last Wicket: Potter Run Out 22 (FOW: 55/1)

Good price I reckon. Superb* Stamina is a bonus. Elite Experience as well. Only minor prob is PFL, but you can soon sort that out.

PFL is frustrating, but no different to the rest of my team - all got a week to recover with BT20 next week, thankfully.

Have put Rautenbach and Granville up for touting to see if I can get any bites for good money. Need to get back to 1.8m in the bank again soon.

 

[Grayson]

Awful start with the bat. Davenport out first ball. Oddly Healy hit the hattrick ball for six! Uphill battle to win this.

End of Over 6: 26-2, runrate=4.33, reqrunrate=4.70 (232-4)
Bean 3-0-15-2
Chill* 9 (24 balls)
Healy 6 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Davenport c. Kumar b. Bean 0 (FOW: 20/2)

EDIT: This is just silly...

7.2 W Bean to Granville
Granville is squared up by a delivery which leaves him off the pitch, edging to first slip where Lunt just hangs on to the catch.
7.1 W Bean to Healy
Looks like Healy ate all of the pies. He just couldn't get any speed up there and is run out.

End of Over 7: 30-2, runrate=4.29, reqrunrate=4.72 (232-4)
Greenwood 4-1-10-0
Healy* 6 (1 balls)
Chill 13 (30 balls)
Last Wicket: Davenport c. Kumar b. Bean 0 (FOW: 20/2)

easy enough

 

[MrB]

If someone told me we would hit 281 today I'd have laughed in their face! We even managed to take a couple of cheeky wickets but the current batsmen have a combined BTR of 671k.

Jones takes some punishment but Yeates at the other end bowls 0-13 in his first spell. Got to love defensive spinners on v defensive orders...

Jones 10-0-60-0
Mason* 56 (77 balls)

Southchurch Village CC Budleigh Salterton
Top Order: sensational feeble
Middle Order: superb competent
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: quality respectable
Spin Bowling: masterful mediocre
Fielding: feeble woeful
MOTM: Swayne

Comfortably my best RS. Record OD attendance as well.

First match where I've fielded a minimum of a strong primary for the first XI

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I've got a feeling that this game is going to cost me at the end of the season. Not saying I would have definitely won, but at 32-3 with Schoeman coming on in bowler-friendly conditions we would have had a chance...

BATTY SHRIMPERS v Bogeymen

[MrB]

To only have a -0.71 NRR change from these ratings was quite pleasing!! Was also pleased to see my reserve bowlers knock over 2 of their Elite top order.

Nonetheless, that's one win from five OD games, relegation looking likely.

Top Order: sensational elite
Middle Order: mediocre superb
Lower Order: worthless worthless

[The General]

Well unlike most of you lot PUNCHING in Level 2 (you know it!!) i actually managed to win another game today. A comfortable 8 wicket win for my boys after chasing down 141 in about 30 overs with all the bowlers taking wickets. I now sit 3rd just a single win behind the top 2, both who are on 16!! Going to be a very tight and competitive league thats for sure.

Also expanded my ground

Capacity: 40725
Standing Room: 18500 (+2500)
Uncovered Seats: 15250 (+1750)
Covered Seats: 5400 (+1000)
Members Seats: 1575 (+350)

as sold out in all areas today and with just over 3 million in the bank, im doing okay money wise!!

With 20 20 next week, depending on fitness, i should be able to field a team to win each game and confirm my place in 1st place in this format!

Triple promotion?! Bring it on.
