End of Over 13: 101-3, runrate=7.77, reqrunrate=6.29 (144-10)
Donovan 3-0-13-0
Mcmillan* 28 (20 balls)
Gray 62 (47 balls)
Last Wicket: Mcinally c. Singh b. Shackleton 1 (FOW: 14/3)

Shackleton, with a wage of about 2k, removed Kerr, Mcinally and Bhutia within about 2 overs Thankfully, Gray has played a fine innings and Mcmillan is having a good day. Need these two to see the innings out though.

Last Wicket: Hocking c. Dickson b. Mcdermott 19 (FOW: 55/3)

If i had another over, i would say i should win. Cant see how Gravey can get 69 and Hocking and Hiller failed. Oh well.

MOTM: Gray (83* & 3 ct's)

Pretty lucky there, having been 3/14 and only these two left. Both played incredibly well. I played a full-strength batting lineup but rested Mulholland & Mullis. Mulholland now has sublime PFL and Mullis will be nearly energetic It also appears they GFI'd Could explain a bit. Solid ratings

Not bad - could also be a back-up keeper if you need to rest Ashton. What nets will he get?

Decent TIE ratings, especially seeing im a bowler down. Lost by 20 runs in the end, cant complain too much, a PAN probably would have given me the win.

BT20 fixtures are up. I got a Div 3 team called Ironside Crusaders -

Ironside Crusaders
Top Order: quality
Middle Order: quality

Seam Bowling: exceptional
Spin Bowling: superb

2-3 gun bats, 2 gun bowlers. Could be tricky. But let me say this - Anchormen will not so easily concede the first official, competitive game at the Odeon *** Panther Dome, and the fans will be baying for blood.

Argh, wtf. Cameron got a Div 5 team called "fartland". Ffs. There is no justice in this world.

Cameron to reach the final with only playing Div V teams imo.

Wouldn't be surprised. Also noticed these -

Roger Mcmillan - 22 yo, BT Rating=135,488
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic
A destructive player with respectable leadership skills and proficient experience.

Marvin Gray - 23 yo, BT Rating=117,266
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, strong batting form, strong bowling form, energetic
A defensive player with abysmal leadership skills and superb experience.

Not bad.

Nice buy, how many nets will you give him?

 

[Adamc]

I've got three nets to spare at the moment, so I'll probably give him two bat, one field. Planning on getting one or two more trainees though so he'll probably end up with two nets.

 

[Robertinho]

Collins, I need you on MSN ASAP.

Had a Div 3 team today, ****s

 

[Mahindinho]

I managed to draw a Div IV side, and not an especially good one either. Rested Sandwith and two main bowlers, and am 85/0 after 11, chasing a respectable 147/3. RRR 7.00, so should be straightforward enough. Ideally I'd like to see a wicket so Reed gets to gome in and knock the runs off quickly.

 

[Robertinho]

Ironside Crusaders 8/74 from 20 overs
Curle 24
Mullis 3/18
Mcmillan 2/4
Ralph 2/20

Anchormen 2/76 from 11.3 overs
Bhutia 33*
Gray 32*
Judge 1/8
Teece 1/17

MOTM: Bhutia (33*)

That takes me through to the last 64, with this side being my only really competitive opponent. It's going to get veeery tough now. OK ratings on a PAN

I think about it every night and day...

Disco Divas
Top Order: sensational
Middle Order: superb
Lower Order: woeful
Seam Bowling: remarkable
Spin Bowling: remarkable
Fielding: feeble

Obviously a good side, with 2-3 gun batsmen (one with wages of 36k). If I can get one or two cheaply, and my batsmen can take advantage of the fact that none of his bowlers are over wonderful, then I'll be in with a shot. Tough game, but could easily be worse.

Spread my wings and fly away...

Welcome to The Odeon *** Panther Dome for the match between Anchormen and Magical Ponies.

We can tell you that Anchormen won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this sunny day.

Lets join our team for ball-by-ball commentary...

Massive game against Cameron here, the first OD game at the Odeon *** Panther Dome, and the inaugural Canning-Mcmillan Trophy fixture.

End of Over 10: 34-1, runrate=3.40
Mulholland 5-0-11-0
Burger* 20 (38 balls)
Terry 2 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Farmer b. Mullis 10 (FOW: 28/1)

Cameron's batsmen now have 10 overs of nothin' but Mcmillan & Ralph, so it could be an interesting period...

End of Over 12: 64-1, runrate=5.33

Holly* 16 (25 balls)
