Adam, eyeing anyone on the market at the moment? That Eldershaw bloke looks alright.

 

[Dead Badger]

Allan is allegedly at the SCG, so I'm not sure it'll be fixed anytime soon. He's online though.

Well, seeing as he sold his house to watch England this winter, I'm not sure I can begrudge him a chance to watch them when they actually might win something.

Whoa, commentary back up!

Adam, eyeing anyone on the market at the moment? That Eldershaw bloke looks alright.

Yeah, I think he'll go for more than I can afford but he hasn't had a bid for a while so it's a possibility. I can only afford to put in one bid though.

Would be awesome if I got him though, I'd have the best team of 22yo English allrounders in BT.

Interesting ratings in my match against Mike:

Victoria Panthers Jaffna Jets
Top Order: superb respectable
Middle Order: woeful respectable
Lower Order: worthless abysmal
Seam Bowling: competent competent
Spin Bowling: proficient competent
Fielding: woeful abysmal

First time i got both a respectable rating in both top and middle order. I must be close to proficient top at full strength. Still no respectable bowling rating though.

Looking at those ratings im peeved i got hammered so badly.

 

[marc71178]

He's pretty close. The respectable fielding would add a bit, but he'd still be up there.

Andy - I know you lost a bet and all that, but can we please have the pineapple back - every time I see that one, I think it's Rodgie posting...

Haha. If anything would convince me to change it back, that would. But it remains till the end of the Chappell-Hadlee, IIRC.

Anyway, could do with another wicket here against Jamee. Hopefully Canning can take at least one more, otherwise he might get outbowled by Bardle.

End of Over 24: 76-5, runrate=3.17
Canning 7-1-15-1
Gowshall* 26 (41 balls)
Wanless 11 (27 balls)

 

[Scaly piscine]

Predictably lost the toss so I'm batting, as long as I don't have the usual random clutch of wickets between 30-40 overs I'll be alright (I don't want Dillon & Preece to bat).

Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: abysmal

For my best YP ever, it's a little underwhelming, really. How far off a respectable bat was/is he?

Worst case scenario is that he's mid-competent and the other stuff pops after one net. More likely to be high competent tho obviously.

End of Over 43: 109-9, runrate=2.53
Fernando 7-1-27-2
Laws* 1 (5 balls)
Broomes 0 (6 balls)

Haha. My last 54 balls against Jamee have conceded 6 runs for 4 wickets.

Edit: All out for 122 in the end. The last wicket partnership put on more than I'd have liked (14), but I'll still take that happily.

End of Over 44: 275-2, runrate=6.25
Wickes 10-2-38-2
Armstrong* 70 (74 balls)
Obrien 39 (30 balls)

Last Wicket: Wheat b. Wickes 87 (FOW: 205/2)


Their best bowlers are bowled out I think, so the remaining overs should get clobbered.

45.6 [B]1[/B] Bulman to Obrien 
    That's good cricket, batsmen run for a single. 
45.5 [B]6[/B] Bulman to Obrien 
    Cover those windows and lock up your daughters, Obrien is on the attack!!! 
45.4 [B]6[/B] Bulman to Obrien 
    Obrien hits a monster. That is absolutely massive! New balls please....
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]And that's his fifty! Well played.[/COLOR] 
45.3 [B]1[/B] Bulman to Armstrong 
    Turned through mid wicket. Armstrong wants two but his partner rightly sends him back.  
45.2 [B]4[/B] Bulman to Armstrong 
    Driven through the covers for four runs. 
45.1 [B]2[/B] Bulman to Armstrong 
    Lovely off drive there but some great fielding keeps it to just two runs.

Not sure if I've ever seen consecutive sixes before on Battrick.

End of Over 50: 343-3, runrate=6.86
Bulman 10-0-84-0
Appleby* 2 (2 balls)
Obrien 83 (48 balls)

Last Wicket: Armstrong c. Swain b. Begg 91 (FOW: 329/3)


Got 111 off the last 10, Obrien went from 6* off 13 to 83* off 48, 77 runs off 35 balls in between... He's been pretty gun this season for some reason, he's still only strong-respectable tho I think he'll pop to superb-prof shortly - still worse than the rest of my normal top 6.

Meanwhile, Bardle strikes with his second ball, and more cannon fodder comes to the crease.

 

[The Baconator]

Cup loss today, and first game without Drummond. Umar played a lone hand with the bat, scoring 112 of our 195, which they knocked off two down. Was playing the bottom side of Div I.

 

[NZTailender]

Haha, Andy...I was thinking the same thing as Marc.

Anyway, managed a decent score against Beard XI. Pity my bowling is woefully ineffective.

Didn't know Mr. T wrote some of the Battrick commentary.

 

[cricketboy29]

Out of the Cup with a loss to IF Hougarrd...Was TIEing anyway. Another tough league match following up this one for the top spot in our league.

Brilliant win for Jamees 999ers!

And that's the end of the match. Jamees 999ers won by 5 runs.
Jamees 999ers 122-10
Magical Ponies 117-10

Scorecard etc to come (maybe)

Cheers for the match; not the most exciting cos I went defensive, worrying about your batting (nice ratings, btw; looks like you've bumped up in both top and middle order).

Faintly amused that my not-really-a-wicketkeeper took two stumpings and a catch. I'll have to give him another run with the gloves some time...
