Pretty happy. Nice way to finish the OD season as we secure 5th.

 

[andyc]

Easy 7 wicket win in the end, secures 2nd place for me. Never thought I'd be able to beat this team when they demoted into my division a season or two ago.

Beechboro Titans 4/259
Canning 3/46, Tedstone 1/29, Potgieter 0/38

Magical Ponies 3/260 (43.3)
Terry 86* (87), Tedstone 70 (85), Burger 53 (43)

Magical Ponies Beechboro Titans
Top Order: quality exceptional
Middle Order: quality competent
Lower Order: woeful feeble
Seam Bowling: sensational exquisite
Spin Bowling: quality respectable
Fielding: feeble mediocre
MOTM: Terry

Very happy with that, his top order very nearly took it away from me with an opening stand of 136

 

[mikeW]

Can anyone tell me how many levels of fitness a player with Superb fitness would go up in a week?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Promoting in OD into IV.42, should be itstl. I'd say I'll be there for a few seasons but I should comfortably avoid relegation. Thankfully I lost my last FC game and will not be getting promoted.

 

[oz_fan]

Won my game easily in the end to finish the season well.

First Innings of: oz fans XI (play as normal)
Total (50.0 overs, 2 wickets) 340
Mohan 124(117)
Olowe 97(115)
Grahame* 62(40)
Remaketse 46(32)

First Innings of: Starkenators
Total (36.3 overs, 10 wickets) 166
Brooks 3-22
Gordon 3-45
Stevens 2-40

Unfortunately finsihed 6th which means I'll have a playoff to remain in division V. Should win that comfortably though.

 

[Nate]

Is there a sixth league being established for next season? Because it seems I have a play-off against a VI bot team that doesn't really exist yet. Should I lose it on purpose and have a season of victories? Probs not.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

VI exists now....

Very happy with Terry and Tedstone's form this season with the bat, and to a lesser extent Burger, who have meant that I've not had to rely on Canning as much this season (at least when it comes to batting). Bowling wise, a lot still rests on Gavin but Potters is getting better by the week, and I'll be looking to get another young bowler early next season.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Wahey, finally underway. Bowling first, decent enough start:

End of Over 14: 50-2, runrate=3.57
Hennessy 2-0-7-0
Aftab* 12 (42 balls)
Carter 10 (20 balls)

Last Wicket: Bolder c. Kepler b. Woods 11 (FOW: 26/2)

Edit: Lucas gets in on the act

End of Over 15: 52-3, runrate=3.47
Lucas 3-0-5-1
Lungile* 1 (3 balls)
Aftab 13 (43 balls)

Last Wicket: Carter lbw b. Lucas 10 (FOW: 51/3)

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Wow.

Just worked out the FC promotion tables. I appear to have reached II.1.

So do Asterix (OD #1)
Borderliners (OD #2)
Doobie Bombers (season 3 cup winner and five-time premiership participant)

...

 

[Dead Badger]

An emphatic win to round off the OD season:

And that's the end of the match. Beard XI won by 10 wickets.
South Central Cartel 64-10
Beard XI 66-0

That leaves me unbeaten in OD and autopromoting to IV, at about 50th on the promotion table. Jelly beans all round!

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Well on my way to securing the league title:

End of Over 6: 47-0, runrate=7.83, reqrunrate=2.61 (161-10)
Hockenhull 3-0-26-0
Bartlett* 19 (20 balls)
Kepler 27 (17 balls)

Woods and Talbot starred with the ball, taking 4 wickets apiece.

 

[Dead Badger]

Well on my way to securing the league title

Duly achieved. Bloody impressive at the first attempt - it's taken me three four seasons. Good luck in your playoff.

A whole bunch of league winners in OD for CW types:

Asterix XI
Jaffna Jets
Jamees 999ers
The Heath CC
Pup
Four Pillars and Poor Fillers
Tawonga Tigers
Anchormen
Central Districts
Boggles
Beard XI

And probably more that I've missed. Good work all round.

 

[headhunter]

Lions of London 168/10 (41.2)
Patton 8.2-1-15-5

BEST Indies 169/3 (33.3)
Manning 56 off 93
Fordham 54* off 43

That was a victory against top of the league (they turned bot) which meant that I was only 4pts away from promotion.
All and all pleased with the season...looking forward to the next already.
Getting out of out BT20 group will be our next target.

 

[Dead Badger]

OD season roundup, then. Went unbeaten, beating the Div IV demotee in a tight match right up front, then absolutely clobbering them the second time around in what was, if I'm honest, an absolutely inexplicable result. All the rest of the competition fell away thanks to PFL concerns and general rubbishness, leaving me an unimpeded run to first place:

Posting these largely because it's going to be a long while in div IV before I get any such nice figures.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Duly achieved. Bloody impressive at the first attempt - it's taken me three four seasons. Good luck in your playoff.

Thanks! Although I have to say I've been incredibly fortunate in the league that I promoted into - I must be one of the weakest Div V champions around and at first glance, stand absolutely no chance in my playoff, even on a GFI, which suits me just fine. Still, nice to win back-to-back leagues!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

After the NRR's were redone, I'm even happier with my new IV.28. Should finish top 4.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Needed to win by a couple of NRR points and either 3wide or Philly_Bluenose to lose for a play-off:

Legion of Doom 120 all out (43.5)
Neil 41; Tuck 2/14 (7), Scott 2/18 (10), Maidens 2/20 (10), Harris 2/28 (7), Rock 2/39 (9.5)

Dynamo Morpork 124 for one (15.3)
James 77* (51!!), Virk 31*

+5.23. First objective achieved...

3wide.com Strike CC lost to The Death Knights by eight wickets
Philly_Bluenose lost to NYC by 48 runs

Nuff said. No player below energetic, so another GFI due next week. (Seriously, it doesn't cost anything anymore. Crazy.)

Fifth place, one down from last year, and the sixth season in a row between 4th and 5th. I've played with 3wide for all those six seasons too, so kinda good to finish ahead of them. Clearly need bowlers to compete though.
