Stumped!

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bart Way hits 84* (101) to seal it for Moooo by 3 wickets. Way hit 119 (92) earlier in the day, wow! These are, I believe, the two highest scores for Moooo!

Before today, it was Shanuka Veenstra’s 80 not out

166-6 was a fairly par total I thought in a T20 vs Dynamo Morpork. Good performances all round from my batters, but an incredible 144-run partnership between Anthony McGrath (63 off 43) and Jayant Marita (89* off 50) took the game away.

Playing my second proper game of the season now, after the winning the first one comfortably against a similarly-rated side to this one.

Matthew Tudor up to over a million on the TM, @Magrat Garlick and @cnerd123 must be feeling a bit annoyed that they didn't get that much.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea the market has gone dry recently, now is a nice time to be a seller

The only other HK-based team in Stumped is currently leading the bid. Good manager Odin, he recognises Tudor's worth. The young kid has moved around a lot for a batter with a career HS of only 45 lol.

Just lost to the Bot by 4 runs. Disappointing but I took a risk by playing my most inexperienced team. Levy put up a good fight. Man is going to be a beast later in his career.

 

[cnerd123]

Still early days but this is nice

 

[ataraxia]

Annoyingly managed to lose my match, which is a severe blow to my promotion hopes. Rusty Frost was sublime with 4-43, and Nicky Clift (74 off 77) transformed 111-6 to 213 all out by shepherding the tail along, but it wasn't quite enough.

Wow, that experience is pretty low; the bot had significantly more than you. But hey, playing those sort of sides will help them gain more experience. Bot teams do seem to do worse if you bat first.

FHK's terrible season continues. Lost at home to a team rated 10K less than us. Batted first, only got 218/8. Yau and Law with good fifties and Agnes a useful 30 opening, but no one else fired and the lower order ended up just trying to bat out the 50 overs. In reply, LOY got smoked for 52 in his 7 overs as they absolutely carted us everywhere. Their number 3 played a blinder and we couldn't even secure the bonus point.

Sigh. Goes to show how difficult it is to win games when your key players are out of touch. Last season we would have cruised this game.

 

[ataraxia]

Ashgrove smack me again, this time by 47 runs in a T20. Lucas Lloyd the star with 78 (51). That's 4 pretty comfortable wins for them in a row. Credit to @Marcuss, hopefully I can do better later on in the season once my older youths develop to have low- to mid-30s skills.

Both my team and FHK are in somewhat rotten patches, so it will be interesting to see how the CWC game between us goes.

GG v Mooooo in today's CWC fixture.
GG are batting first, watchful from both Levy and Bram Human...with a few chances given but Mooo's fielders were still sleeping.

Lucas Donegan, who hasn't played a game for Mooo since JUL 27, just released the pressure set by the new ball bowlers, with a wayward over going for 10 runs.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Things are looking ominous...GG are piling on the runs. Freeflowing.

Ahhhh yeah! Nazar just got the breakthrough.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Two in two!

The dangerous Bram Human goes for a run a ball 31...Veenstra with the critical wicket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Tauseef Nazar spinning a web here against the GG batsmen. So far, he's accounted for 3 out of the 4 wickets to have fallen.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

3 wickets in one over for Andrew Short.

GG are reduced to 111/7

We need to clear the tail fast.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Tauseef Nazar ends with 4 wickets…

Some good bowling by Mooo to bowl out GG for 162

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This match heading to a thriller.
Nazar’s diamond duck swayed it in GG’s way

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I’ve managed to pick up a leggie from ZCC for GG CC.

He is about to make his debut in a friendly 40 overs versus arch nemesis, Mooooo, starting in 11 minutes time.

Mooo will be looking to avenge their defeat in the CW clash earlier in the day.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

His name is Etisham Baksh, by the way.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

****ing Bram Human
