Well, you've potentially got two _very_ good players on your hands. Personally, I'd leave all the nets on both Tucker and Giles -- they're still pretty young (in terms of being Quality+ players), so you may as well train them up.

That's assuming that you want to train them up higher, anyway. If you're going to stop Tucker at Sensational anyway, then you may as well remove one of his nets. Likewise with Giles and Remarkable...as a fast bowler, though, I'd definitely consider training him up to Exceptional.

I would probably keep training all your players for a while. Personally i take the 2nd net of Disley and Giles, as both are already quite high but probably wont reach the levels that Tucker might. I would keep Tucker on two batting nets for a while longer. Looking at other batsmen just on CW, he could be one of best pretty soon, if not the best. This would be my suggestion for net allocation:

Schofield: 1 Bat, 1 Bowl, 1 Fielding (after Disley pops to respectable fielding)
Disley: 1 Bat
Fanyana: 1 Bat, 1 WK, 1 Fitness
Giles: 1 Bowl
Tucker: 2 Bat

Mind you with 17yo poping in six weeks on 2 nets, it could be an option to give Schofield, Tucker 2nd net until the rest of the season, or till he pops to Strong Bowling. Just some options to look, but im sure you have better idea then me, about these things.

End of Over 7: 55-0, runrate=7.86
Eatwell	4-0-23-0
Jephcott*	13 (13 balls)
Dylan	40 (30 balls)

Off to a bit of a flier, with Dylan doing all the early damage. It's against a new side, who're terrible, so a big one's possible.

Off to a flier. Resting Meyer, Stroud & Groves.

Fair spell from Martyn today.

End of Over 33: 106-9, runrate=3.21
Martyn 10-4-10-4

Playing one of the weaker teams in the league anyway, should get a reasonable NRR boost.

 

[andyc]

Ended up getting them out for 122 in the 47th. They were 4/90 at the start of the 40th.

End of Over 50: 387-2, runrate=7.74
Eatwell	10-0-62-0
Keane*	86 (75 balls)
Munroe	51 (30 balls)

To add to that, Dylan hit 104 (91) and Jephcott 131 (106). Dylan was out in the 25th over, had a double ton begging to be hit.

Hodge should clean up here, but he'll only get 5 overs seeing as he's bowler one. My bet is everyone will take a few wickets.

Nieuwenhuis 28 (23 balls)

Last Wicket: Orourke b. Dickson 152 (FOW: 317/2)

Centuries to Ludlow & Orourke set up the total, fantastic assistance from Appleyard (70 odd) and Nieuwenhuis.

Last Wicket: Oneill b. Pryde 0 (FOW: 28/5)

Someone put him out, he's on fire! Oh lordy lordy. Meanwhile, Hodge, a better bowler by 2 primary levels and even more secondary levels has 0-13. Interesting.

Ended up finishing it off nicely here after Griffin got over his slow start. Should give me a nice NRR boost, which (barring a massive upset in another game) means I'll move up to 4th place.

Harrys XII 122 (46.4)
Erasmus 3/16 (8), Tedstone 2/19 (10), Potgieter 2/29 (10)

Magical Ponies 2/123 (22.3)
Griffin 72* (59), Kilkenny 21 (40), Canning 20* (16)

Harrys XII Magical Ponies
Top Order: mediocre competent
Middle Order: feeble respectable
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: mediocre strong
Spin Bowling: useless proficient
Fielding: feeble woeful

Messed around with my batting order again, had Terry at number 3, but he failed again with only 9 off 21, so I'll probably leave him back down the order until he's strong, or at least near it.

Last Wicket: Barber b. Flowers 2 (FOW: 103/7)


Slowly weeding them out. Walton took 3, all others have taken 1. Savage & Verhoeven were unusually expensive though, they've been consistently the tighest bowlers this season for me.

 

[mikeW]

Lost to the only other good team in my league.

Tigers06 282 ao

Hook 5/31
Ricketts 2/66

Victoria Panthers 258 ao

Bertos 114* off 117 (only 3 boundaries oddly)
Malcolm 71 off 97
Darryl 64 off 57

The rest contributed just 3 runs between them.

Victoria Panthers tigers06
Top Order: quality strong
Middle Order: feeble competent
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: competent strong
Spin Bowling: strong competent
Fielding: woeful feeble

Very happy with the ratings as well

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Won comfortably, bowled them out for 56. Pryde finished with 5-15 from 5, Sambrook 3-8.

 

[PY]

Got to 215/0 off 41 overs, then proceeded to lose all ten wickets for 62 runs with my number three stranded on 41* from 22 balls. None of the others managed more than four runs.

And now they are 14/0 off 4.3 overs. These lot are my bogey team as I've never actually beaten them and I often have better ratings.

 

[Agent TBY]

And that's the end of the match. Citizens Erased won by 7 wickets.
Zebras	130-10
Citizens Erased	131-3

Yay. On TIE.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Man I hate it when you alter an alarm clock so it wakes you up early for something, then you forget to change it back and the bloody thing wakes you up early again next morning when you could have just slept through as long as you liked.

Anyway watching PY's game til mine starts, looks like he has a good chance of collapsing the opposition.
