Will focus on my huge win today instead.

Brackenhurst - 358/2 after 50 overs

Antonius 63 (81)
Steyn 81 (90)
Abbey 96* (70)
Read 107* (62)

defeated

Kokoda Diggers CC - 160 AO after 33.4 overs

Schalk 54* (57)
Crabb 30 (47)

Lake 3/41 (7)
Ballard 1/35 (7)
Maguire 1/53 (10)
Holmes 3/13 (5)
Hindle 2/14 (4.4)

Maguire`s bowling and not being able to get Schalk out the only dissapointments. Good day out.

Looks like you might get away with it as there is a Big but you will still probably get drawn a decent team.

Eh? Fixtures say I`m playing him come Sunday.

Yeah but if you check the Bug's Board it has it as a problem and if you check your team's History against that team your playing you will notice the team you took over played them last year.

The cup draw is done on a set format so It is obviusly wrong.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

A close game between the Zebras and the Drunk XI, I think I could be just shading it though. Removed Dobinson first ball of the next over as well.

End of Over 44: 254-2, runrate=5.77, reqrunrate=8.17 (302-8)
Ahmed 7-0-40-0
Dobinson* 107 (123 balls)
Elsegood 11 (5 balls)

Last Wicket: Muller lbw b. Subasinghe 19 (FOW: 237/2)

I see what you`re saying. Cheers.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Wow, this is going right down to the wire:

End of Over 47: 283-3, runrate=6.02, reqrunrate=6.67 (302-8)
Subasinghe 9-1-68-2
Braniff* 23 (12 balls)
Elsegood 17 (10 balls)

Last Wicket: Dobinson lbw b. Subasinghe 107 (FOW: 254/3)

 

[AussieDominance]

End of Over 48: 292-3, runrate=6.08, reqrunrate=5.50 (302-8)
Ahmed 9-0-56-0
Braniff* 30 (16 balls)
Elsegood 19 (12 balls)

Last Wicket: Dobinson lbw b. Subasinghe 107 (FOW: 254/3)

Gundry matchwinning position atm.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Gundry gets home with four balls to spare. To be fair, his was more of a team performance, whereas mine relied on **** (139* off 122).

 

[Scaly piscine]

Adam's WI team recovered to 244-5 against Australia in the final, hard and fast pitch and sunny weather.

I think virtually everyone wants Australia to lose this game...

 

[Mahindinho]

I think virtually everyone wants Australia to lose this game...

Yup

Looks as though the much-accursed* Aussies are going pretty well, unfortunately.

* That originally came out typo'ed as much-accused...I guess my fingers just know the score

 

[Adamc]

Mmm not going to win unfortunately, seems the bowlers used up all their wickets earlier in the tournament. It was always going to be difficult making up however many levels of fitness and morale we were behind, and we didn't get off to a good start with the bat. Australia's win will be tainted by their match-fixing antics though, wonder if Allan will add anything into the rules to prevent such conduct in future WCs...

Pakistan still have a slight chance against England in the 3rd place playoff.

Speaking as someone who's really not followed the World Cup until now, what happened?

Pakistan have still got all their wickets in hand, but the RRR's climbing...it's going to come down to a bit of luck in the slog overs.

 

[AussieDominance]

Apprountly Australia fielded a side where batsmen bowled and bowlers were batting high up the order against Pakistan this meant Pakistan got a free victory and knocked South Africa out of contention.

Confirmation that the Cup Draw will likely be changed.

National Cup First Round
Those pesky bad cup administrators have struck again! They have made the exact same cup draw for season 6 as they did in season 5. The fixtures made today (7th Jan) are likely to be changed.

 

[NZTailender]

Made something like 220 AO vs Lancashire and they chased it down in 38 overs without losing a wicket.
Mind you, I played only 1 proper bowler, two developing AR's and bowled two of my batsmen.

 

[33/3from3.3]

Wow, great game Roberts. I thought it would be close, but not that close.

A good couple of pops there. Not expecting any pops for a few weeks now, Seneviratne to Superb bowling should come early in the new season (around week 3) then there won't be any other pops until mid-season.

This guy is definitely better than Harewood. So much better... Btw, did ageing occur before or after training? Because in your posts, the players have popped but not aged, but isn't that kind of unfair that Australian players get an extra training session before they age?

Btw, Scaly, can you give me an indication of how close this guy is to popping -
