Won my first three matches but lost today's. Won the first by 148 runs, the second by nine runs and the third by 116. Lost today's by nine wickets though. Elmes averaging 149 and Ryan 301, although both got a duck in the last game.

End of Over 3: 29-0, runrate=9.67, reqrunrate=9.12 (183-3)
Goodliffe 2-0-24-0
Kilkenny* 9 (7 balls)
Terry 20 (11 balls)

Could well be in trouble here, may have underestimated them.

Won it with 9 balls to spare in the end, with 8 wickets in hand

Agreed, either that, or make the season run a week or 2 longer.

 

[NZTailender]

Got a Div 3 team. Cup endeth here.

 

[Johnners]

Reckon Gleeson will clean me up for less than 50 Sunday NZT, I'm resting Harris & Moloto (screwed PFLs).

 

[NZTailender]

Nah reckon you'll still win, gonorrhea.

 

[andyc]

Have a Div 3 team for the 20/20, but I should be able to beat him going by ratings.

 

[Johnners]

Nah reckon you'll still win, gonorrhea.

?

 

[mikeW]

Gleeson is a hack.

 

[NZTailender]

Gleeson is a hack.

An exceptional hack tbh.

 

[NZTailender]

?

Heh, gonna see how long it takes you to get this one.

 

[Robertinho]

Heh, gonna see how long it takes you to get how unfunny it is and for you to stop. No one is laughing, Geg

 

[Johnners]

Probably never will tbh

Heh, to do with the re-direct on wiki I suspect? And the slang for Gonorrhea being "The Clap"

Think the 19th over of the match may have decided it:

18.6 W 	Muggins to Ferrell 
    	That's an absolute peach of a delivery, finds the edge, and Chanderpaul takes it at the second attempt. 
18.5 W 	Muggins to Harris 
    	Forward defensive, beats the bat, on the pads, huge appeal, the umpire is thinking hard on this one, and given! 
18.4 W 	Muggins to Ahmed 
    	That's a full blooded drive and the man at mid off has stuck out a hand and plucked it from mid air. A fantastic reaction catch by the fielder. Ahmed can count himself a little unlucky. 
18.3 W 	Muggins to Doherty 
    	Yorker from Muggins, and it's got through! Doherty played down completely the wrong line, and the ball hit middle stump, great bowling. 
18.2 W 	Muggins to Moodley 
    	Edge surely! The umpire doesn't respond to the appeal but Moodley shoulders his bat and is walking towards the pavilion. Very sporting, although his coach might not be best pleased. 
18.1 4 Muggins to Moodley 
    	Four runs! Barely any effort required to send that one to the extra cover boundary.

Lost by 5 runs, though can't complain given my opponents ratings:

		Boggles 	Goofy Unitized 
Top Order: 	wonderful 	elite 
Middle Order: 	respectable 	superb 
Lower Order: 	worthless 	abysmal 
Seam Bowling: 	exquisite 	wonderful 
Spin Bowling: 	wonderful 	remarkable 
Fielding: 	feeble 		mediocre

Wow, those are some rather nice ratings. Is that a GFI? How many spinners?

Very unlucky there by the way. With 6 needed off 11 and 5 wickets in hand, I would've thought you'd be a certainty...

 

[Dead Badger]

Kept my div III opponents down to a not-entirely-horrifying score, but Abdul Kadir's 55-ball century has pretty much sewn it up, given the quality of their bowling. Be surprised if I make half what they got.

End of Over 20: 166-6, runrate=8.30
Pead 4-0-32-4
Purse* 0 (4 balls)
Holmes 0 (0 balls)

 

[Robertinho]

Completed my first ever ground name change, and I can confirm that the new home of the Anchormen is...

The Odeon *** Panther Dome.

I'm diggin' it

And the first game to be played at the newly christened ground will be the inaugural Canning-Mcmillan Trophy. Be there.
