[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Well that didn't go to plan....

Pitch: Green

End of Over 50: 264-6, runrate=5.28
Singh 10-0-58-2
Burton* 23 (25 balls)
Livermore 32 (21 balls)

Last Wicket: Bradford c. Evelyn b. Schoeman 7 (FOW: 218/6)

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

DIBS DIPPERS v wakatipu

wakatipu won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Green

End of Over 2: 13-0, runrate=6.50, reqrunrate=3.33 (172-10)
Mohammed 1-0-5-0
Lampard* 8 (6 balls)

[The General]

Going to need some kind of miracle here, i reckon! My batsmen never produce when they are set to attacking (or defending in other cases) so think i will leave it to normal all the time. Considering i was 43/3 (losing Deane, Waterhouse and Browne) and then lost Sookram at 74, we didn't recover too badly but this total looks well, well short!

End of Over 50: 211-8, runrate=4.22
Keen 10-3-23-2
Johnson* 17 (21 balls)
Cavanagh 26 (22 balls)

Last Wicket: Waters b. Keen 0 (FOW: 174/8)

[MrB]

Given that Bond and Tate went for 156 runs between them (though took a wicket each!) it's still an achievable score. Alas both Richie and Sini go in successive overs and I can see us slowing right down now.

End of Over 14: 76-2, runrate=5.43, reqrunrate=6.17 (297-3)
Dillon 3-0-21-1
Mcleod* 5 (2 balls)

[MrB]

Run rate drifting up as expected and another wicket down.

End of Over 26: 130-3, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=7.00 (297-3)

[The General]

Getting spanked. Hmmmm this isn't good if i actually want promotion this season! :(

End of Over 31: 189-0, runrate=6.10, reqrunrate=1.21 (211-8)
Johnson 9-0-52-0
Heggett* 97 (96 balls)

[Napster]

Hahaha.

Just bought a new batting trainee, who gets 2 nets

Dirk is a LH Batsman and LFM Bowler. He is a steady player with mediocre leadership skills and worthless experience.

He currently has respectable batting form, mediocre bowling form and lively fitness.

Plays For: Napster's XI
Nationality: Australia
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 8,033 (-255)
Wages: £1,305 p/w

Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: respectable Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: respectable Consistency: worthless
Fielding: worthless

Im guessing at that wage he's a high respectable.

Dropping a few players for PFL, playing a side ranked well below me, so PAN and hopefully should be an easy win.

Just had the Aussie under-19 manager on my case asking how many nets I'm going to him.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Tough but just gettable, with these 2 in and Pollock still to come.

[MrB]

Just had the Aussie under-19 manager on my case asking how many nets I'm going to him.

Don't be fooled, they will contact any manager of a 17yo respectable and try to get them to put 3 primary nets on. He won't make it, they will already have proficient batsmen on 3 nets. Train to suit your team.

 

[MrB]

I can sleep easy tonight knowing that we probably wouldn't have won even with a full line up!! Though still adding runs as we bat to 11 today!!

End of Over 38: 191-8, runrate=5.03, reqrunrate=8.92 (297-3)
Lawrenson 5-0-15-1
Graham* 10 (18 balls)
Tate 7 (5 balls)

Last Wicket: Lamey b. Lawrenson 49 (FOW: 182/8)

 

[Napster]

He wants me to put 7 nets on! 3 bat, 2 field, 1 wk, 1 stamina.

Blimey.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I've had the WI U19 manager on, asking me about 2 Comps I bought earlier in the week, they must be really struggling....

Going to end up about 20 short in my game, just haven't found the boundary enough in the last 10.
