19.3 	W	Mcgreal to Beaumont
 	 	That's a beautiful hit down to fine leg, they should take a single here. Beaumont wants to come back for two, his partner says let's go. OH NO, IT'S A RUNOUT, Morrell claims a direct hit! And no runs will be given as the first run was short!

Go and get ****ed you stupid ****ing game. My bowlers, who are so much better than his take nothing and get smashed about, and his ****ing ****s go for no runs and take my best bats. Such a ****ing **** game.

Going to go on to the bugs board, make up some **** and get this week replayed.

End of Over 40: 175-3, runrate=4.38, reqrunrate=4.70 (221-10)
Hamlin 10-0-45-1
Hawkins* 5 (2 balls)
Hicks 87 (122 balls)
Last Wicket: Lunt c. Moloto b. Hamlin 31 (FOW: 170/3)

Wouldn't mind a few quick wickets, otherwise they'll chase this.

49.1 6 Morrell to Stonebridge
Fabulous catch on the boundary... but the umpire's signalled six! Robson put his foot over the boundary to take the catch!

End of Over 49: 285-4, runrate=5.82, reqrunrate=1.00 (285-7)
Robson 10-2-60-0
Stonebridge* 105 (83 balls)
Brinkhuys 108 (106 balls)
Last Wicket: Beaumont Run Out 3 (FOW: 77/4)
48.6 4 Robson to Brinkhuys
Overpitched outside off stump and that's an open invitation to Brinkhuys to help himself, very nicely driven through cover, no need to run for that.
48.5 1 Robson to Stonebridge
Flicked around to wide mid wicket for a single.
48.4 1 Robson to Brinkhuys
Cuts a rising delivery away to third man.
48.3 4 Robson to Brinkhuys
Timed to perfection. You don’t need to run for those.
And that's a century for Brinkhuys! Well played indeed Sir!
48.2 1 Robson to Stonebridge
On leg stump and he flicks it away to fine leg.
48.1 4 Robson to Stonebridge
That's a great shot there by Stonebridge. He just stands and delivers; flicking it just behind square on the leg side, purely using only timing and the pace of the ball.
And that's a century for Stonebridge! Well played indeed Sir!

Who needs Beaumont? So amazing. So happy. Love this game.

Gah, would've almost given my left nut for a YP like BD. Can't believe you got 2 resps in 3 goes (assuming they're both your YPs?)

I would've gotten 3 if I'd pulled right in the first week. Went for a keeper bat and got a med bat, comp-comp bowl. Was devo.

Anyway, won my first match in Div 3 today thanks to some big performances especially from Coburn.

Trouserhammers 10/173 (48.5)

Coburn 10-3-23-3

Trouserhammers CC Central Districts
Top Order: exceptional wonderful
Middle Order: competent remarkable

Seam Bowling: wonderful wonderful
Spin Bowling: exquisite exceptional
Fielding: competent competent

177 on Batstats if I'm correct.

End of Over 48: 242-10, runrate=5.04
Robinson 8-0-57-2
Quintin* 76 (67 balls)

Lucas, Ellis and Quintin got 50s. The rest got five runs plus 2 byes. Need a Jeithoon special to win this. Can't see him doing it with a worthless form, but pretty happy with the batting effort. Mind you if he bowled his gun bowler through we would have been rolled for under 150.

EDIT: Hodge was 4th highest score with 4 runs, gun.

He's a star.

 

[nibbs]

Your fault for buying a defensive phenomenal bowler really. I sold Downer for the same reason.

sold downer for similar reasons, just.

Battrick is to cricket what futsal is to football. Or what futsal would be if the players were obliged to wear wing-tip shoes, dayglo orange bandanas and affect a thick Russian accent when appealing. Not that you appeal in futsal, but you get the idea.

Bonus points for using Sean Connery's Russian accent; that makes it twice as likely for the appeal to succeed.

I reckon nine posts til there's a serious answer, minimum.

 

[Dead Badger]

Yeah, I'm stuffed:

End of Over 15: 57-5, runrate=3.80
Skuse 1-0-1-0
Janes* 31 (41 balls)
Oleary 0 (8 balls)
Last Wicket: Alshaun c. Taggart b. Seneviratne 0 (FOW: 56/5)

Only an Oleary berserk-o-tron special can save me now, and I don't see it happening on a H+F. Good job I spent that 2 mill on Boardley, too; a golden duck on OD debut to go with the majestic three in FC. I back him to come good, though. Like Ian Bell, he's got all the shots. *snerk*

The players are off the field for the break between innings.


End of Over 50: 265-10, runrate=5.30
Ross 9-0-55-2
Castle* 81 (57 balls)


Not a massive total, GFI'n as I always do against these guys.

Swamibapa Leeds CC won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Green

End of Over 1: 3-0, runrate=3.00, reqrunrate=4.53 (224-10)
Ingham 1-0-3-0
Steyn* 3 (5 balls)
Clunnie 0 (1 balls)

2 5 fers gives us an opp to get in an early away win against some big rivals...

Also there is a chance of much improved ratings today.

End of Over 9: 51-1, runrate=5.67, reqrunrate=4.24 (224-10)
Gerber 5-1-22-1
Mclean* 11 (13 balls)
Kepler 23 (23 balls)
Last Wicket: Caldwell b. Gerber 15 (FOW: 23/1)

Decent stuff on a PAN - usually GFI against this team (the one time I PAN'd I lost by 8 runs last time out) but after some superb death bowling from Turner (5/35), we're looking good to win this one comfortably.

 

[Dead Badger]

Incredibly, it's tense stuff in Beardland. Having made just 109 in my innings, we fought back to have them 43-5. However Piercy and Marriott are now leaking runs, and it's unlikely Oleary and Pead will be back on in time to help. Just 36 runs left to play with, and I really need one of these two to pull a finger out:

End of Over 25: 73-5, runrate=2.92, reqrunrate=1.48 (109-10)
Marriott 6-1-22-0
Taggart* 38 (44 balls)
Ball 2 (29 balls)
Last Wicket: Osbourne c. Marriott b. Gill 2 (FOW: 43/5)

Kemp 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Knight c. Binnington b. Greaves 0 (FOW: 83/3)

Hmmm

Bit worried.

Not looking at all good here tbh.

And that's the end of the match. Nige's Hootnannys won by 142 runs.
Nige's Hootnannys 265-10

**** me got roasted!
Not a great start to the defence of our title.
