As for the other semi:

End of Over 27: 118-2, runrate=4.37, reqrunrate=7.91 (299-2)
Watkins 7-1-23-0
Greening* 61 (86 balls)
Jeffery 21 (19 balls)

Last Wicket: Staveley Run Out 24 (FOW: 85/2)


Kealeboga only bowled the one over so far, he's rubbish. So it's better for trev than it looks, can't imagine him not collapsing tho.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Whitehorne did his usual demolition job in the last 10 while Kealeboga kept getting smashed, Asterix XI winning by 65 runs. I'm somewhat baffled by Adam getting quality for his middle order...

 

[Bobisback]

I'll keep that in mind if Rodgie beats you.

No secret Rodgie is favourite to beat me. Wont care too much, he is 2-0 in our previous matches, 3-0 isnt too much worse,

Not exactly uncommon for the reporter's summary to be higher than the actual skills, the same is true of my top order and seam rating. My middle order was superb (virtually quality), quality, strong, strong.

Yes and they don't have great secondaries either.

Final

Asterix XI v Scaly Piscine CC

The boys from the Windies to host the final....

 

[Nate]

Should be a hot match-up. Will be watching.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh and it'd be good if Adam challenged me, I've got a limited number of logins at the moment and saving them for Friday.

 

[Adamc]

Challenged you several hours ago.

 

[Nate]

Limited number of logins? Does that just mean you don't have much internet access this week?

Nah, he's on a temporary verge of bankruptcy. Bought a player off Ladbroke Rovers for an eight-digit sum.

(The game, of course, cares little for the fact that he's later sold off a bloke for half that.)

 

[Nate]

...so he's almost bankrupt, okay. I don't understand why he then can't login much? If you're almost bankrupt does it only give you few logins?

It limits you to 5 logins if your balance is below -350,000 or whatever it is on the economic updates, then you have to get the balance above that within the next week or you lose your club. I only went below it because the player I was buying was before the update and the player I was selling was after the update. I'm over +1m now.

 

[Nate]

Cheers.

Currently sitting in a t'interweb cafe in Barbados, so can't really write much.

I've accepted Trev's challenge, for what I assume is the 3rd/4th play-off. Best set some orders!

BTW, I'm in Barbados for a hockey festival, of which we've now been knocked out -- after winning two and losing two, we got thrashed in our last match, 7-1 on the hallowed turf of the Kensington Oval itself. Not the first time a touring English side has been humiliated on that ground...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Final about to start. Withington looks in good shape to win the 3rd/4th play-off:

End of Over 27: 128-3, runrate=4.74, reqrunrate=5.74 (259-9)
John 4-0-13-1
Noon* 18 (29 balls)
Cash 9 (18 balls)

Last Wicket: Jeffery c. Hayward b. John 54 (FOW: 108/3)

Trev's best bats are out.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Adam's done a similar shuffling of the lineup to me, I won the toss and bowled first. Pace has taken out Richardson in the first over, 1-1 after 0.5.

 

[Scaly piscine]

There's both openers gone after 9 balls (one was a strong filler).

 

[Scaly piscine]

No wickets in a million years mode kicks in as always. Slow bowlers don't seem to be doing that well on this slow pitch.


End of Over 28: 129-3, runrate=4.61
Patel 4-1-18-0
Ashton* 60 (69 balls)
Watkins 58 (74 balls)

Last Wicket: Whitehorne Run Out 9 (FOW: 18/3)

 

[Scaly piscine]

End of Over 41: 191-4, runrate=4.66
Summers 6-0-23-1
Cuss* 13 (16 balls)
Watkins 98 (120 balls)

Last Wicket: Ashton c. Armstrong b. Dillon 66 (FOW: 150/4)


Cuss just departed tho off Patel's penultimate over, just Watkins and fillers & bowlers left.


End of Over 42: 198-5, runrate=4.71
Patel 9-1-49-1
Osman* 2 (2 balls)
Watkins 103 (122 balls)

Last Wicket: Cuss b. Patel 13 (FOW: 191/5)
