Groves 10-0-52-0
Wallace* 111 (120 balls)
Burke 94 (114 balls)

Getting nervous here. They're behind a bit with the run-rate, but the 0 in the wickets column means they aren't out of it by any means.

 

[EARLOBE]

Won easily in the end. The problem with this is, if he loses another game this season I'm almost certain to promote, which I don't think my team is strong enough for. It's a bit early to be talking about that though lol.

And that's the end of the match. Male Models won by 146 runs.

Griffin and Canning taking me from 4/76 to 5/238, so happy enough with that. Bowling was **** though.

A comfortable win on my OD Div 3 debut, resting Mullis & not bowling Mcmillan. My next FC game is an easybeat, as is my Cup game, and my OD is better but also not much chop. After that, however, it gets interesting...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Put up a superb bowler for sale, if anyone has a spare million lying around.

Hak, I just bid £1m on him. I won't bid any more but that should arouse some interest

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Could be in for a tough game against Fambridge today, who currently have 67 players in their squad. You never know what sort of team he's going to put out, but today's side look pretty strong, especially in the bowling department. I'm also at full strength, on a GFI, but whereas when I beat him last year he had PFL problems, almost all of his players are at sublime today.

Anyway, I won the toss and I'm batting. Slooooow start...

[Dead Badger]

Oleary makes a storming debut in div IV, taking two wickets in his first over to leave the opposition 10-2 after 4 overs. They've got a lot of batting though (their team seems to consist entirely of all-rounders), so there's more fun to come yet.

Last Wicket: Bartlett b. Evans 14 (FOW: 24/1)

Key partnership now - Kepler and Caldwell are the only two who are really up to the standard of most of Fambridge's bowlers today so I'll be looking for them to put together a big partnership.

 

[EARLOBE]

How can somebody afford the wages of 67 players?

 

[Bobisback]

Currently sitting 1st on the Div III.1 table

A huge fall to the 7th or 8th that i will finish.

Haha, can't believe you're in Div 3 tbh.

My league sledging in both FC and OD is so inactive I mean, if I can't have a decent sledging board, then I want someone I actually know and can have a rivalry with. Alas... no one.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

How can somebody afford the wages of 67 players?

I have no idea, it's pretty ridiculous. There was a thread about him on the England sledging board last season, which happened to coincide with me playing (and beating ) him.

Anyway, Kepler and Caldwell are doing the business so far.

[NZTailender]

Ellis has been bribed by the bookies IMO. Shady dealings at Jaffna CC.

 

[andruid]

Welcome to The Green for the match between Twickenham and Swamibapa Leeds CC.

We can tell you that Twickenham won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this sunny day.

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



End of Over 20: 100-3, runrate=5.00
Ali	5-0-25-0

Last Wicket: Bissmire b. Harding 12 (FOW: 67/3)

Lost 3 cheap wickets in those conditions against my bogey team. On GFI today so these ratings will go towards my ranking

20 off the last two, lets hope Ndah hasn't also. So ****ed a quality batsmen hasn''t scored a four of the last 8 over in the final 10 so far.

Make that 8 off the last over with Ellis hitting a four, who would have thought that was possible.
