I'm also up for a friendly after a decent game against Beard XI...

HAWKS TURN DOVE AS DADDY'S DORDLE.
Whilst this week's IV.11 league table looks very much as it did last, Friday could yet prove to have been a critical day in the title race come the end of the season. With a home match against the hapless and winless Everton_aggro, Wos Your Daddy had a god-sent opportunity to inject some much-needed calcium into their NRR advantage, which in recent weeks has been crumbling like the osteoporosis-ridden hips of an old lady. On the other hand, Cymru Gurgitaters' league challenge was in the Cardiothoracic Ward, seemingly on it's last gasp away to Hoveshire Hawks, in a match which promised a comfortable win but without the kind of margin which would yield life-saving NRR points.
Misdiagnosis on both counts! The Gurs cast aside their oxygen masks, and their bowlers performed aerobics in the South Coast air. Each claimed a twofer, save for Rem/Sup Lm Bewers, whose Resp Bowling form is starting to pinch. Nevertheless, despite Their spearhead going wicketless for a second consecutive week, The Gurs had far too much - Meaning that the Hawks went 'Cheap', in dropping off the parch for just 125 in forty-five funereal overs. One Post-script, are Med Fielder Mohammed's four catches for an out-fielder some kind of record?
Sup/Wond Noon and Exc/Strong Greening wasted no time in euthanizing The Hawks, putting them out of their misery in just under twenty-two overs, Greening unbeaten on 70 (68) and Noon with a late spurt to bring up his fourth fifty of the campaign, 55* (64) That all equates to a much better than expected NRR hike of 3.36.
Meanwhile, up the M3 and around the M25, in Essex Whos Your Daddy were making bafflingly hard work of seeing off the league's whipping-boys, Everton_aggro. If they were disappointed with their 300/5, it would have been nothing compared to the frustration felt in allowing the Everton death-rattle to extend to 188 in 42 overs - And whilst the result was never in doubt - A game in which they should have put the league title to bed resulted in an NRR advantage of just 3.76, gaining just 0.4 on The Gurs.
But even so the Trophy is still leaning towards the East, with the joint league leaders locked on 36 points a piece, Whos Your Daddy have an NRR of 18.81 compared to The Gurs' 16.32 This Friday Whos Your Daddy have a second chance to pull out of sight against 7th Chloe Crusaders, while an upset is on the cards for The Gurs, as they're forced to attack against 3rd placed Rehtakul Veets CC&FC.
No pops, but a possible first in the world of RL cricket. When my team rocked up to the ground at half ten for our league match yesterday, it was pissing down, with no prospect of immanent play. So both sides retired to the bar, and made great use of the hospitality, oblivious to the fact that the sun put in an appearance around half three. At five O'clock the umpires sounded the last orders bell and announced that conditions had improved sufficiently for a ten overs per side match, commencing in ten minutes - It was carnage! We lost the toss and were put in, and yours truly raced along to 13* from 7 deliveries, (No mean feat considering I missed four of them!), although my S/R was aided considerably by a top-edged hook which flew over the keeper for six! However, as the second over drew to a close, my partner ran into the opposition bowler, knocking out two of his front teeth, both threw up on a length, No.3 was summoned to deputise, but couldn't be roused from his Carling-induced coma. After a brief consultation, the umpires abandoned play, as in their view, both teams were too inebriated to allow play to safely continue. Is this indeed the first recorded instance of beer stopping play?

Yeah, cheers for that, looked like a good one; I just got back and checked it. Morale probably the main difference between our teams in that one, I'd say.

A steady player with strong leadership skills and superb experience.
Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: superb Concentration: sensational
Bowling: masterful Consistency: phenomenal
Fielding: respectable
Decided that since I'm not selling Whitehorne now I may as well get his batting up, I think it was over halfway when I left off a couple of seasons ago so he should pop before next season. I've stopped Watkins' batting net for the time being, want to see if FC is introduced next season before committing to another wage increase. Will be stopping him at masterful batting regardless.
Change of plan re. Osman as well, I've really got more nets than I need at the moment so I'll keep him around at least until the next pop. I'll probably be selling Shane and Richardson when their contracts expire though, and invest 6-8m in a good batsman that I can train to a high level. Beginning to realise that my batting as it currently is won't be up to scratch in two seasons' time, with Watkins and Ashton the only 'gun' batsmen.
