OD Match 9

£841K. I can't really sustain that, will be selling one of the over 100k per week mob in a few weeks. Planning to make my money through selling trainees.
 
Barrowdale exorcises his demons by ripping out their lower order with a nice 5-26. We look comfy.

End of Over 19: 76-1, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=3.10 (171-10)
Walcott 3-0-22-0
Lamey* 26 (20 balls)
Sandile 31 (66 balls)

Last Wicket: Cunningham Run Out 19 (FOW: 45/1)
 
Not going to plan, its fair to say ...

End of Over 19: 63-7, runrate=3.32, reqrunrate=4.87 (213-8)
Ardley 4-0-9-3
Johnson* 2 (5 balls)
Zamora 26 (54 balls)

Last Wicket: Lamb c. De bruyns b. Skelton 3 (FOW: 58/7)
 
Mrs BB getting hammered. Muse, how much is your wage bill now??

Edit - Worked it out (£841,059). How are you affording that ??

Sold around £35m worth of players and bought £30m worth. The 5m spare will erode by the end of the season but I'll be selling one then and hopefully one trainee. I have 4 players above 100k per week, it's not sustainable.
 
Not quite as close as last time!

And that's the end of the match. ShrimperZone CC won by 9 wickets.

Won convincingly to maintain 100% record. Next week is a bot followed by 5th and 6th place. Last game is tough but I'm slight favourite. Might still scrape it with one loss. I'm currently 23rd above the autopromotion line and there are 72 with one loss or less below the line and a better RR.

I will be much better placed to face division IV next time around. Today I achieved

And I have around 6 mill in the warchest to strengthen my batting
line up when I promote together with ongoing training that is coming along nicely. Hopefully i wont be in a) a tough league like I was last time or b) Napster current div IV
