Wolfenden 28 (170)

Anchormen wins by 8 wickets.

My MOTM: Marvin Gray [89 (126) & Gray 164* (191), 4 ct 1 st]

Massive effort by Graysuf there, bringing us back from the brink. After the 1st innings... geez, lucky to escape with a win there. Haha by the way, how was Wolfenden's innings? 28 runs off 170 balls in a 160-run partnership with Gray. Hahaha, top effort.

Asterix XI 259 (62)
Cuss 105, Ashton 86, Watkins 41*

Inverts 8/0 (3)

Underwhelming second-innings batting performance, will win comfortably though. PFLs have remained fairly static, a few players lost levels but recovered them at the daily updates. Cuss and Ashton have lost one level each.

From what I've seen it looks as though there's a fairly significant level of pitch deterioration. Saw one match where the side batting second made 364/4 in the first innings and lost seven wickets chasing 24 in the second. Will be useful to have gun bowlers in the second innings I think. Not really sure whether it's actually pitch deterioration or if the third and fourth innings are just coded to be more difficult to bat in.

I can see people points in terms of FC subsidy, most lesser sides are going to struggle to maintain decent profit. But once you build your side and members base you should earn a lot more with FC. I guess its just about being patient. Also it is not as if your wage bills are high. I remember Thamba saying he got like 50k each day for his FC match and his a below par side, so either his doing something right or just the fact he walked his league last season. And in England and Australia it takes like 3 seasons to be a decent Div 5/6 side.

From all the matches i've seen it seems a lot hard to bat in the last two innings then the first two. But i've seen a lot of matches where batting first teams get rolled pretty easierly. so many the 2nd innings of a game is the time to bat.

Took the last 4 wickets for 17 runs this morning to win by an innings and 10 runs altogether. A bit annoyed with my captain though - I wanted to see if Woods could get a 5-fer, and so gave him a maximum of ten overs this morning, he took two wickets out of the first three to fall and then got taken off after five overs, and Talbot came on to replace him and got the no.11 with his third ball :@

Essex Eagles: 50/10 (27.4)
Wali 27 (36)
Woods 4/34 (10), Marrison 3/4 (5.4)

The Heath CC: 300/10 (119.4)
Gardiner 75 (216), Kepler 57 (130), Talbot 55 (155)
Antrobus 5/71 (28.4)

Essex Eagles: 240/10 (72)
Mears 57 (132), Wali 54 (85)
Woods 4/53 (23), Hardy 3/49 (21)

The Heath CC win by an innings and 10 runs.

Looking at my FC and OD league, it seems unlikely that I'm going to be able to stay up in either with the squad that I have. In light of that, should I sell one of my better players so I can get up to £1.6m and at least have that £80k coming in every week as interest, as I don't think I'm going to make much in gate receipts this year?

This is the player that I'm considering selling:

How much would I likely to get for him? And would it be worth waiting till he pops to strong before selling him?
