End of Over 50: 339-7, runrate=6.78
Mannix 10-0-68-2
Payton* 7 (4 balls)
Crowhurst 15 (13 balls)

A solid total I dare say, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to defend it against Tarr. Bhutia made 114 (129) and Gray 161 (128). Geez, Mcmillan though... could've done with a 3rd contributor. And yeah, Adam, I see that Exceptional guy.. he looks reeally good. How much do people think Mills would go for? -

[Adamc]

Could get close to 2m for Mills I reckon.

 

[Robertinho]

Alright, obviously I need to list him soon so I get a quick bid. Just had a quick look on the market... I dare say 2m is a bit of a stretch, I'm thinking I should list him for 1mil, to ensure a quick bid? Or as it's only been about an hour since the other guy was listed, should I put it at say, 1.2 or 1.5?

 

[Adamc]

Just list him for 1.2 or something, I'll put in an early bid if you want.

 

[Robertinho]

Hey, could you just jump on MSN quickly?

 

[Bobisback]

Cracked pitch, so this is winnable, but i assume ill be bowled out for like 200. I should win on ratings, but i think ive only ever beat these guys once, maybe never.

Anyway, Neil Mills is now listed for £1.5m, so get your bids in quick people If Mills sells for the bare minimum, I'll have about £9.5m in the bank (it's getting ridiculous isn't it?) - and if I get lucky with my YP tomorrow I may even be able to hit the £10m mark - in which case I could probably aim even higher. There's a sensational/exceptional bowler on the market at the moment, only downside is that he's a spinner. Decisions, decisions. Records will be broken, people. Mark my words...

 

[ash chaulk]

should be close

[NZTailender]

Just lost our 4th wicket with a few runs to get, in the 41st over. Siyabonga was out in the previous over for 99.

It was his first score past 50 in a league match as well.

Edit: All over. Tigers notch up their first win of the season

Unhappy with Benjamin's ERR. Otherwise, a good match from our blokes. 2 more runs (1 to Siya and 1 to Livera) would've been nice.

Solid club debut for Adams with the gloves as well. So much better than Horrigan.

Going right down to the wire here -

End of Over 49: 325-6, runrate=6.63, reqrunrate=15.00 (339-7)
Payton 10-0-63-0
Tarr* 160 (132 balls)
Mannix 13 (16 balls)

Flitney to bowl it, Tarr (masterful/elite) facing up...

 

[Robertinho]

Amazing scenes here. A 1-run victory! Woohoo Means my morale stays on track, as does my supporter confidence. It was done 2 players short as well

And that's the end of the match. Anchormen won by 1 runs.
Anchormen 339-7
The Freudian Slips 338-6

End of Over 50: 338-6, runrate=6.76
Flitney 10-0-99-2
Tarr* 162 (134 balls)
24 (20 balls)
49.6 4 Flitney to Mannix
Superb hook shot by Mannix, and Mcmillan desperately dives to try and stop it crossing the rope, but all he manages to do is knock it up a drain pipe; a few minutes later he manages to fish it out and the match can continue.
49.5 1 Flitney to Tarr
Late cut, third man running wide to get the ball.
49.4 1 Flitney to Mannix
Almost run out! They really shouldn't have run that single.
49.3 4 Flitney to Mannix
Makes room outside off stump and swishes it over the infield for a risky four.
49.2 2 Flitney to Mannix
Cut to third man, great running between the wickets.
49.1 1 Flitney to Tarr
Good length ball played down to Millard at mid wicket and Tarr hurries for a single. In comes the throw and they've just managed to reach safety. That Tarr is a hare between the wickets!

End of Over 49: 325-6, runrate=6.63, reqrunrate=15.00 (339-7)
Payton 10-0-63-0
Tarr* 160 (132 balls)
Mannix 13 (16 balls)

Could be a good game at Boggles CC this morning:

Boys of the Shank scored 235/10 off 46 with Mamello taking 7/42 and I'm currently 50/1 off 10 with my remarkable bat out. Need to get to 150 without losing any wickets really.

[Scaly piscine]

Heh @ Black 8m. He had no bids the other day when he was listed at 6.5m.

Won't be around to see my match or if Horne sells probably - have to help my uncle move house.

 

[mikeW]

Rob why are you selling all your players for 1 uber one?

 

[PY]

I was wondering that, thought you'd been one of the vocal supporters of spreading the quality throughout your team?

Things do change when you get a whole load more money I have to admit.
