[B]Result:[/B] Match Drawn

My all star bowling attack continues to impress

 

[Mahindinho]

In the clash of my league rivals, Rickmansworth collapsed big style against Inter Yerma -- from 128/1 to 141ao! That means that, as predicted, I'm top by a point. Importantly, it also means that I've taken 4 more wickets over the course of the season, which could be pretty significant if we draw our match and end the season with 11 wins each, a loss and 2 draws.

Actually, that's crap -- he'd have one more loss than me in that case, so would lose out on that if we finished level on points.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Dynamo Morpork 263 all out (69)
James 108, Crouch 75, Herbert 34*; Grace 4/17, Cherry 2/72

The Bosstones three for five (3)
Roberts 1*, Remaketse 1*; Scott 3/0, Harris 2/3.

The Bosstones trail by 116 runs with 5 wickets in hand

Was ready to kill something after the first innings. Mildly happier now, but how 14 wickets have fallen in 29 overs on a flat track is beyond my grasp.

That no loss in 3 a dramatic improvement from the games before that.

How does promotion in FC work? Can't be bothered to find out the posts somewhere.

Is it top promotes auto and the rest play off against a bot who'll be crap?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Top promotes only, I think.

So there'll be four bots in division II next year.

Thus, insanely happy with

Well if Mike gets that guy for 10m then I'm going to cry and spit my dummy.

Looks like i might miss out as this is my last bid at just over 11.4 mill.

Why did you pray against PY

Haha, thats the biggest difference in first innings/second innings score I've ever seen!

Who said anything about praying?

13m was ok by me, I spend 10.5m recently and had 12m in the bank so would've been gutted if there had been someone so cheap. Not that I didn't want you to get him, just not that cheap.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Random - had a potentially tricky OD match tomorrow which has just been made far easier by the fact that the guy has sold all his best players in the last week and is left with a squad of 14 generally poor and knackered players. Nice TIE victory then, that will go some way to making up for the hideous performance in FC this week.

haha yeah i know. Bummed i missed him. Hopefully someone else comes up that i can have a crack at.

Wanted to win this match, but we're 1/2 in the first over. Sunny deck, good batsmen, two wickets lost. Far out.

EDIT: Recovering nicely though.
End of Over 10: 54-2, runrate=5.40
Payton 5-0-36-0
Read* 28 (28 balls)

End of Over 7: 14-1, runrate=2.00
Poke	4-1-7-1
Tulley*	4 (16 balls)
Arnold	7 (21 balls)
Last Wicket: Cuss b. Poke 0 (FOW: 3/1)

Cause im a crazy ****, i thought i should bowl through with Wikus and Poke on a sunny day. They wont bowl them out, but will be interesting to see who takes the rest of the wickets.

 

[Robertinho]

I decided to go on a GFI against 2nd (to ensure auto-promotion), and I threw Kerr & Mcinally in the top order with Gray, expecting them to make a quick 20 odd, leaving Gray to bat with Bhutia & Mcmillan. Alas, both Gray & Mcinally are gone for under 20...

End of Over 10: 53-2, runrate=5.30
Carmichael 5-0-27-0
Bhutia* 8 (13 balls)
Kerr 19 (14 balls)
Last Wicket: Gray b. Piper 14 (FOW: 39/2)

 

[Nate]

Same situation Robert. May the best teams (ours) win.

FC Prize Money double the OD stuff. Certainly changes my tactics around for the end of the season, even if it's not much money.

Doesnt make my tactics any different, relagate and finish 2nd in V for 10 or so seasons.

In other news, wish they would just collapse.

End of Over 13: 36-3, runrate=2.77
Poke	7-1-19-1

Indeed. I'm also looking forward to my ratings... all my players are at sublime, barring Mcmillan (energetic) and Mullis (invigorated)...

Bhutia and Kerr are still going along nicely. Piper is this guy's only good bowler so hopefully these two survive, and then reap the rewards against a decidedly weak bowling attack. Mcmillan also to come next... could be interesting.

End of Over 15: 80-2, runrate=5.33
Piper 8-0-39-2

Kerr 30 (29 balls)

[Robertinho]

****!!!

In his last over, he takes Kerr. Ah well... at least Bhutia and Macca have 30 overs of nothin' but pies -

End of Over 19: 100-3, runrate=5.26
Piper 10-0-48-3
Bhutia* 33 (39 balls)
Mcmillan 4 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Kerr c. Kiriella b. Piper 37 (FOW: 96/3)

 

[Bobisback]

I think Wikus and Poke have forgotten how to bowl, assumed they would have taken more wickets than this, oh well.

End of Over 20: 59-4, runrate=2.95
Wikus	10-1-23-3
Thandiwe*	16 (33 balls)
Tumisang	0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Victory c. Beaumont b. Wikus 15 (FOW: 59/4)

Lets see what my Quality's can do.
