Encouraging figures from my 19yo debutant spinner.

 

[blues_r_best]

At last.

We'll probably be around 150 at close today, which is 230 ahead, so will probably set them 300-320 to win. Want 80 overs at them.

[Grayson]

24. Otis Gadd (1755293)

RH Batsman, RM Bowler, proficient batting form, mediocre bowling form, fresh fitness.
An attacking player with competent leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: Southend
Nationality: West Indies
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 3,909 (-65)
Wages: £808 p/w
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: respectable Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: worthless
Fielding: woeful

175k, decent price, is around half way there in batting, perhaps just under. Will pop to proficient and sell for a tidy profit. I was mailed about him as he's apparently an U-19 WI prospect, how bad must they be if he could make it??

 

[MrB]

Wrapped it up tonight. Looking at the reporters summary I imagine my opponent will be a bit peeved!

ShrimperZone CC Launceston Lashers
Top Order: strong superb
Middle Order: respectable respectable
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: quality remarkable
Spin Bowling: useless wonderful
Fielding: mediocre mediocre

Doesn't tell the story that my best three bowled the vast majority of the overs.

 

[SUFC_Al]

Oppo following on, 9 wickets to get with 40 odd runs in hand tomorrow.

 

[MrB]

I was mailed about him as he's apparently an U-19 WI prospect, how bad must they be if he could make it??

He wouldn't make it but they mail everyone in case they do train intensively so they have back up players.

 

[Grayson]

He wouldn't make it but they mail everyone in case they do train intensively so they have back up players.

Yeah the guy who mailed me didn't seem too bothered when I said he'll get one net. I fancy training an U-19 next season, if I get a great YP I'll train English but if not I'm considering buying a Windies player to train - would be good to help a weaker nation.

 

[The General]

Well after the oppo made 242 on day one, i resumed play today and reached 341 all out. They are 175-3 at the close (their main bat has 100+ not out!) so basically are 76-3 in the context of the game. Could go either way ...

Kev

 

[MrB]

Oooh, top team is losing, I could be top of both classes by the end of tomorrow!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

6 wickets to take. Have only just realised that I have a Worthless WK for this game :)

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

Mrs BB trails by about 130 with the oppo 9 down, they just let it slip a bit towards the end. If they declare overnight, she'll need to make about 260 to avoid defeat.

 

[* ORM *]

Took me 76 overs to bowl them out - jeez - only played 2 frontline bowlers - may have to be more careful with overs allocation. Declaring overnight gazillions ahead. Hopefully wrapping up somewhat quicker than today.
