OD - Week 9

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Lampys Lightning v BATTY SHRIMPERS

We're 4th and take on the side in 6th today. A win will take us 8 points clear of them. Couldn't agree a mutual TIE, so we've had to GFI, which is going to cause some problems for next weeks FC game. Full-strength side out.

We can tell you that Lampys Lightning won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this sunny day.

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

wakatipu v DIBS DIPPERS

Mrs BB leads her division by 6 points and takes on the side in 2nd, so a win today would pretty much guarantee her the title.

She's got everyone at Sublime, so it's a GFI for her.

We can tell you that wakatipu won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this partially cloudy day.

 

[MrB]

Game thrown due to lack of players (though this has recently been addressed) and fitness. Could be messy:

End of Over 2: 28-0, runrate=14.00
Draper 1-0-11-0
Dance* 14 (8 balls)
Stubbs 14 (4 balls)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Fairly solid start, although Polly failed again. Be glad to get rid of him at the moment.

[Grayson]

Just found a superb/prof batsman on the market for under 1m so took it in the hope it's a bargain.

22. Willy Le roux - 29 yo, BT Rating=16,194 shortcut
RH batsman, RH Spin bowler. He is a defensive player with woeful leadership skills and phenomenal experience.
He currently has superb batting form, proficient bowling form and changeable fitness.
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: superb Concentration: proficient
Bowling: worthless Consistency: worthless
Fielding: mediocre

Good name too and will add a bit of padding to the batting in FC. Paid 844k. Will he sell for much more in 6 weeks?

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I had similar last season, picked up a double Superb for about 1.1m, sold him this season for about 1.6m

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Looking very good now.
