OD Promotions and Relegations

[* ORM *]

A thread up in England and he seems to be confident on his results (based on accuracy of play-offs). If so I'm in IV.50 have one bot and the teams finishing 5th and 6th don't look up to much, though I guess they could lose their play-offs. I'm stronger than all four of them. The other team that autopromoted is about my standard. The team relegating from Toddys III (Sloten Colonels) is also a bot.

If accurate I could well finish 3rd or 4th. Happy days, woo indeedy hoo !

The team who came bottom last time around have been promoted back into my OD league! But he will be in Level VI for FC so his fitness should be good each week. We also have TopHeavy ... not a bad side and will be in Level VII for their FC season so his fitness should be fine most weeks too! Side coming down dont have any standout stars but look to have a strong XI!

What happens if a team moves nations?!

They are replaced by a bot, doesn't affect promotions and relegations. So hope that someone in your league moves!!

EGV are going Canada! Lovely!!

It turns out the 2 teams i listed are the one's playing the play-off games. Queens Park CC (who look bloody good) and Dick's Poo (who look remotely average and will be favourites to go back down!)

BT forums can be handy sometimes Eh B ? :p

Kev asked the question, I got the answer. That's all that matters.

Mrs BB is in a play-off today. She's got a very tough game, as her oppo has 5 internationals, and another guy earning 184k a week. His total wage bill is somewhere in the region of 2.4m a week :stunned:

Anyway, I hope she beats him, because him and his cronies on his OD sledging board, have really been giving it the big 'un about how wonderful their division is, and how Mrs BB promoted from a rubbish III the season before.

I'm having a shot of being in the top flight for both main forms of the game today, against a side I finished above in FC and beat the other week. However, I'm a bowler light so don't expect to win here, and it would probably be for the best that I don't.

In a play off that they threw

And that's the end of the match. Southend United won by 10 wickets.
rebels 37-10
Southend United 38-0

:clap:

That's a really impressive achievement.

It's really difficult to battle on two fronts and although it's been slightly easier since 20:20 it still drains the fitness.

Will be interesting to see how I fare in my play-off game today. Have I a decent side that's just tired from fc exertions, or are my one-day tactics just gash.

Cheers YB, think it'd kill my team to be in both top divisions though next year, but will give it a go if the win can be secured today.

It's closely poised on a bowler-friendly day:

End of Over 39: 146-5, runrate=3.74
Gamaarachchi 8-1-40-0
Raven* 20 (34 balls)
Haines 24 (31 balls)
Last Wicket: Dunn c. Last b. Blaney 38 (FOW: 103/5)

One-day isn't so bad, it's the County Championship that is the killer. It drains your fitness and the defeats affect morale, although I think they've tinkered with morale since I was last up there.

However with 3 of us up there next year at least one of us is guaranteed to survive!

We were cruising but 2 wickets in 6 balls means the game has shifted in their favour.

End of Over 21: 101-3, runrate=4.81, reqrunrate=3.97 (215-10)
Tudor 1-0-1-1
Raisani* 35 (42 balls)
Rennie 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Davenport c. Alves b. Tudor 0 (FOW: 101/3)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Mrs BB unsurprisingly lost by 10 wickets....

 

[SUFC_Al]

End of Over 35: 105-6, runrate=3.00, reqrunrate=1.87 (132-10)
Aldous 6-1-18-0
Bowditch* 2 (6 balls)
Shashidhar 24 (51 balls)
Last Wicket: Williams c. Kennedy b. Thorp 28 (FOW: 91/6)

In to the bowlers, can we pike 28 runs here? Doubtful. Their bowling attack just too good for me

 

[SUFC_Al]

And that's the end of the match. Southchurch Village CC won by 4 wickets.
Mighty Mashervania 132-10
Southchurch Village CC 133-6


End of Over 42: 133-6, runrate=3.17
Aldous 8-1-35-0
Shashidhar* 45 (73 balls)
Bowditch 5 (25 balls)

Get in! Not often my bowlers make a fist of it but Shash (strong/resp) and Bowditch (abys/feeble) hold out where my batsmen couldn't with a partnership of 42.

First time in level IV

Congrats Al, I reckon you'll be ok up there.
