CW Battrick Cup, season nine

[Spitfires_Fan]

CD and Four Pillars have offered dances without being accepted.

Accepted. Only just now discovered that I won on Sunday, am totally in shock, even if Boggles were fielding a weakened side. There are gonna be some mad crazy celebrations in a small town in SW France tonight. Back home Sunday night to see how badly I've lost to Four Pillars.

05.30: Jamees 999ers (3765) v Tamil Eelam CC (9382) - confirmed (wrong ground yet again)

Thamba didn't want to watch his team get Bardle'd and Jamee blamed his last round lost on poor travel arrangements and jet lag. I just think they got Jeithooned personally.

Carn Walkover.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Carn Walkover.

Seems like it. Bit strange considering he logged in four times after I posted the games.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Looks like a good 2 points for CD's. Barring a miracle for the Models I've got first sewn up.

Muralitharan fails fitness test

Jaffna Jets have made two changes to the side that beat Jamees 999ers last round. The big news is non selection of star all rounder Sasrutha Muralitharan. Muralitharan has been struggling with a few injuries and was a late withdrawal from the starting XI. His place in the side will be taking by fellow Sri Lanka all rounder Hasar Obeysekera. Eddie Allison is the other change to the starting XI, replacing English lower middle order batsmen Dave Evans.

Starting XI: Jason Quintin (c), Doug Clayton (wk), Jake Lucas, Hamid Ellis, Hasar Obeysekera, Eddie Allison, Jlloyd Ndah, Mukesh Sishayi (vc), Prsanna Jeithoon, Vince Matharu, Karl Willetts

 

[cameeel]

End of Over 15: 71-1, runrate=4.73
Hammond	3-0-17-0
Dove*	29 (29 balls)
Brydon	29 (49 balls)

Reasonable start by Kipper XI, who've dropped both Chambers and Vernon for this clash replacing them with Nicholas Talbot and also the young all-rounder Shaun Causon,

End of Over 15: 69-2, runrate=4.60
Weerappuli 1-0-6-0
Edgehill* 8 (17 balls)
Handbury 12 (17 balls)
Last Wicket: Bullivant Run Out 28 (FOW: 52/2)

Even type match between Altoz and myself. He should win though.

 

[chaminda_00]

End of Over 17: 58-5, runrate=3.41 
Jeithoon 9-0-34-2 
Shahab* 36 (31 balls) 
Blewitt 1 (7 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Wainwright c & b. Sishayi 0 (FOW: 55/5)

Hmm looks like Jeithoon going to miss out on three 5-fers in a row. Last of the decent bats at crease now, so it might be over quick. Shahab batting well, just had no support.

 

[cameeel]

End of Over 25: 134-4, runrate=5.36
Hinshelwood	3-0-25-0
Dove*	65 (60 balls)
Byfield	13 (10 balls)
Last Wicket: Brown b. Barrass 4 (FOW: 105/4)

A collapse of Port Adelaide proportions puts Male Models into the box seat, though both Dove and Byfield are in good form this season.

 

[NZTailender]

End of Over 28: 110-4, runrate=3.93
Brayley 4-0-30-0
Edgehill* 22 (57 balls)
King 26 (26 balls)
Last Wicket: Vincent b. Gleeson 0 (FOW: 72/4)

Brayley doing his best to keep Altz in the game. Really need a better 5th bowler.

 

[cameeel]

End of Over 35: 210-4, runrate=6.00
Hammond	8-0-49-0
Dove*	111 (87 balls)
Byfield	43 (43 balls)
Last Wicket: Brown b. Barrass 4 (FOW: 105/4)

Good partnership from these two thus far, hopefully if they can stick together and Crowe can play a cameo 300-320 shouldn't be impossible.

 

[chaminda_00]

End of Over 37: 156-7, runrate=4.22 
Obeysekera 7-0-39-0 
Shahab* 98 (94 balls) 
Kirk 33 (48 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Fleming c. Willetts b. Matharu 1 (FOW: 76/7)

Fair lower order partnership. Turns out Kirk got FC hundred so he is probably a decent bat. Always a chance of this happening not playing Murali. Obeysekera and Matharu have been quite dire. Hopefully I pull a YP next season and don't have to buy one. So I can buy a new 3rd seamer. Still in a good position, but something for Stevens to defend.

 

[chaminda_00]

End of Over 43: 175-10, runrate=4.07 
Willetts 7-1-18-2 
Wainwright* 1 (2 balls)

Should chase that down fair comfortably. Expecting Stevens or Wainwright to take a couple early wickets to make things interesting though.

I've got worthless-worthless batsmen with FC hundreds....

 

[ash chaulk]

yeah kirks a decent bat

 

[chaminda_00]

I've got worthless-worthless batsmen with FC hundreds....

Scored a 28 or something in an OD match as well, as well as this 40 odd. Doesn't always bowl too. So just presuming he is trainee all rounder. To score 40 odd against strong/strong and comp/fee and see out a few overs of remarkable you would think he a half decent bat.

 

[cameeel]

End of Over 50: 325-7, runrate=6.50
Hinshelwood	10-0-82-1
Crowe*	8 (5 balls)
Davies	1 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Byron c & b. Hinshelwood 1 (FOW: 319/7)

Should be an interesting run chase by Male Models, given the inexperience and (with the exception of Davies) lack of quality in bowling attack

 

[NZTailender]

End of Over 49: 224-10, runrate=4.57
Mills 10-0-60-3
King* 73 (70 balls)

Mills with three token tailenders in the last over. Hopefully we'll make about 100-110.
