Stumped!

[SillyCowCorner1]

It was a clutch from Ludlow. He wanted to target someone and the unfortunate bowler was Glenn, who looked more like a part-timer coming in to bowl at a crucial point in the game.

You need death bowlers at the end, ffs.

Time for another ranking update, a huge bounceback from ataraXIa after some closely fought wins recently. Dynamo took over 1st spot with the win over ***** in the friendly on Thursday. MTOs 50k+ in-game ratings has not yet translated into intra-CW results.

Dynamo Morpork 2173 (+2)
Free HK 2154 (=)
***** CC 2131 (-2)
ataraXIa 2023 (+5)
Dynamo Schmaltzberg 2014 (=)
Jura 2010 (-2)
Ashgrove Astronauts 1957 (=)
Moooo 1937 (+4)
GG CC 1932 (-1)
Winton 1925 (-4)
Honest Hunks 1877 (=)
The Merry Orangutans 1868 (-2)
The Buy-Ins 1790 (provisional)

Last wicket partnership of 34! Wow. I thought we were well out of it. That first ball missed stumping off 2SS Goliath cost Winton the game.

Was 145-5, Murdoch and Clift cruising in pursuit of 185. Then suddenly 154-9. With my 10 and 11 in, I should've been out of it. Even at 174-9, 12 (18) required, I was a long shot. Then Ludlow went 6-4-4 off Yosuke Glenn. ****ing legend. 25* (19) Juan Goliath facing 28 balls is pretty mad also, his second-most balls faced in 153 club matches (the first being in Alex Davey's incredible all-round game in April). Makes up for leaking runs in the first innings. #batdeep performing.

Jasper Davey's 3-24 (10) in the first innings was gun, conceding only 5 runs in his first 6 overs. What a game. Commiserations to Winton CC, especially to Jacob Jennings for his 74 (93).

Great game @ataraxia - nerves of steel from your final wicket partnership - the 2nd game I lost by a single wicket yesterday with @StephenZA The Merry Orangutans also winning by a wicket with 11 balls to go in a 40 over match - https://www.stumpedgame.com/Scorecard.php?Match=1532126

 

[cnerd123]

3rd place huh? That's it, no more 2nd XIs from ZCC anymore

 

[Charlie B]

The Buy-Ins ranked 247th in the World are playing the Welsh Wizards ranked 8th in a DEV match .... we are 149 for 1 after 26 overs.... of course it will all go south but this is causing some excitement around our small ground!

 

[cnerd123]

Great knock by Denzil Jupp, and he takes the first catch of the 2nd innings too!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Meyiwa stepped on his stumps, and since then it's been going downhill for Mooo.

It will be a miracle if we get to 100

Thanks for the interest sir! Of course I have bigged it up with the 247 vs 8 (though tis true) as at the end of the day we were both in the same division DEV wise. However on paper they were a significantly stronger side so this is quite a 'raid' by the buy-ins and a very satisfying knock by Denzil 'Miles' Jupp!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Counter-attack from Keith Tindall.

**** yeah!!!!

**** yeah!!!!

Moooo's batting form had to run out eventually. 194ao was chased down by my lineup within 40 overs and with 7 wickets to spare.

 

[Charlie B]

Atara and Porky ... I see we will be locking swords (or trotters) outside the cosy world of CWC in the BB ( bottom rung of course!) soon -Should be some fun and so far the organisation has gone smoothly. Is anyone else in the BB and has been placed above Tier 5?

 

[cnerd123]

god damn, Morpork with 58K ratings, ZCC at full strength only 61K, and the batting has imploded today. 165 all out in solid batting conditions.

Massive result here for @Magrat Garlick if her team can chase this down.

 

[cnerd123]

Wicket first ball for ZCC, but no success since then. Bowling's been very good but the asking rate is still under 4 and the Dynamos have 9 wickets in hand. Will take something spectacular if we're to win this.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Giddings looking at Van Heerdens like "how on earth did you get wickets on this strip"

 

[StephenZA]

The pathetic batting from the TMOs continues. Another poor batting performance to add to the many others.

 

[ataraxia]

Giddings looking at Van Heerdens like "how on earth did you get wickets on this strip"

Giddings promptly gets four wickets. Three wins chasing for Dynamo teams.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

What a day for Dynamo. Very fitting that Van Heerdens hit the winning runs too, been with me since the start and lost a lot to ZCC in his time.

Hope it's not setting up for an almighty choke in the CWC playoffs

 

[cnerd123]

Can't remember the last time ZCC were bowled out under 200 batting first tbh. Not sure if it's panic stations yet, but our senior side has been slow off the blocks this season so far

 

[ataraxia]

How this happened with fairly normal orders against a team more than 10K worse, I don't know.

In happier news:
Benjamin Butler is my new recruit, a 45 pot aggressive bat!

Murad Sharif, a very good player (and a 'deshi!) in his own right goes on the TM.

3 matches, 3 bot bashes for GG CC in the T20 league. They currently are leading the points table with 15 points and an NRR of +6.17; which is more than 2.25x greater than the next best team.

In CW world, Bram Human is the leading run-scorer with 398 runs, while Kasun Obeysekere leads the wicket tally with 18 wickets.
