MOTM: Dillon

Jackman got Dillon near the end, but it was too little too late. Batting looks a bit weak near the top as the normal number 9 was at number 3 ...

Jeez, very impressive! Please tell me that was GFI or I will feel woefully inadequate!

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

Disappointed. Looking at his team, he's been going for a fair bit longer than me obviously and has the better team, but still to lose my 1 wicket, when they still had 6 runs to get!

And that's the end of the match. DumbletonCC won by 1 wickets.
The Flying Scotsmen 256-6

[Grayson]

Jeez, very impressive! Please tell me that was GFI or I will feel woefully inadequate!

It was GFI, yes. The wonderful middle-order is misleading, as it's not very good (one wonderful, one remarkable and not much else), but never mind.

 

[MrB]

Still a fair bit better than my middle order!!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I won, but maybe not as convincingly as I'd have liked to.

 

[* ORM *]

Always disappointing to be out of the country and unable to keep an eye on things. A very comfortable win that puts a strong message out to the rest of the division, though I'm gonna need a miracle to finish better than second.

Record gate receipts (£171,355) having expanded ground between seasons. Still plenty of room to go for capacity sell out.

All rounder gets to play a game and takes 5 for 14 in his 10 overs. He will be used in FC and OD next week then rested again.

Ratings were on a GFI but still best ever bowling ratings - My two batsmen trainees aren't going to push those ratings for a couple of seasons. I've only got £2.5M in the bank so could do with a YB like YP tomorrow to buy a batsman.
