CW Battrick Cup, season nine

Yeah playing all my reserves.

Not that close though.

End of Over 14: 41-5, runrate=2.93
Nicholls 2-0-9-0
Ghandi* 23 (42 balls)
Fletcher 3 (13 balls)

Sagger's Mob's innings is completed:

End of Over 44: 223-10, runrate=5.07
Wotton 6-1-11-5
Elmes* 101 (103 balls)

Top performers for either team are both there.

The last 6 batsmen fell for 5 runs I think. My lower order are in similar form

Looks like I will be heading out of cup. Really needed a score of 250 odd against Smith's batting line up. The top five all got a start, but no one really went on. Murali got a 50, but we really needed a hundred from either him or Lucas. Went from 3/194 to all out for 208, but considering we do that teams all the time I can't really winge. Oh well I guess this is why you train/buy uber bowler, so they knock over team for cheap totals when your batsmen don't score enough runs.

Interesting I would have thought Smith's top order would of been able to see off Jeithoon to an extent. I guess not, only Munroe and the tail left.

Not sure how we lost this match from having them at 4/40. But Munroe stepped up and scored 92 not and the middle order and lower order just kept hanging around. Decent knock from Heads as well scored 54.

Oh well nice game Smith

Central Districts Jaffna Jets
Top Order: masterful wonderful
Middle Order: respectable strong
Lower Order: woeful woeful
Seam Bowling: sensational exceptional
Spin Bowling: superb wonderful
Fielding: competent mediocre

MOTM: Munroe

Was Herd who scored the 50 but yeah, surprising tstl after that start.

Not unhappy about it, however.

Got Canning'd and utterly spanked out of the cup by 163 runs.

My ratings are appalling at the moment. Despairing morale isn't doing much for anyone at the moment.

Was surprised by that tbh, doesn't usually take such big hauls. Can't believe 7/40 and 41* (44) doesn't get you MOTM though.

Beaumont's 4th OD century. Finally taught him which side of the bat to use. Match in the balance atm, if there isnt a collapse, and i push on to 300, id say i should win.

Scaly, Four Pillars, Asterix and Jamee look pretty much through to me.

Hoping Scaly loses, just because it will be funny.

As for my game, not overly confident, though it will take a lot of chasing.

Wicket for Wales against Durham. Armstrong out.

6.1 W Bewers to Packer
The slower delivery. It has Packer beaten all ends up. Bewers and Noon go up in tandem and the umpire makes the correct decision. He's out!


This could potentially open up my side of the draw.

End of Over 10: 55-1, runrate=5.50, reqrunrate=6.58 (317-7)
Sicelo 5-0-32-0
Major* 10 (17 balls)
Challinor 34 (28 balls)
Last Wicket: Magloire b. Wikus 9 (FOW: 21/1)

Not sure whether to be happy or not, have his bad bat still in with my bad bowlers coming on.

Up in the air at the moment.

Scaly, 39-2 in the 11th Over. Interesting stuff here, quite a match of opposites, must say.
