Liebenberg gone; I'm stuffed at 15-2. Bugger. Of all the matches to get early failures in.

Edit: Platt too. This is turning into a rout. Dammit. After I ran them so close last time!

Edit edit: now Janes! This is the single worst collapse I've ever had, and it's coming on a flat pitch on a GFI. Balls. Just ... balls.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Sorry mate, that's got to be pretty gutting...

Just finished my match, won by 10 wickets chasing 99 so nice and easy. My openers contrived to prevent each other from reaching 50, with Grant on 49* and Gardiner 48*!

Got Summers and Dillon bowling the last 10, so they shouldn't threaten the target.

 

[Dead Badger]

Unbelievable. All over, not a single player getting to double figures. The ratings really don't indicate this sort of disaster. Humph. I'm going to sulk now, I think. Or declare beer o'clock, one of the two.

And that's the end of the match. Spurs Magic won by 227 runs.

Friendly anyone?

 

[Bobisback]

Sitting pretty on the top of the table. Now all i have to do is hold this position for the next 13 games

I played the 2nd easiest team today, next week i have the easiest, then i have 5 weeks of coin flip games. Hopefully i get out of the cup this week, so that i can have some TF to play with. That said, im not throwing the match, just TIE'n a match i would have to GFI to have a big chance. Could still win, and go to round 3, but its unlikely.

Really need my 4 quality's to be exactly that all this season, would love to finish top 4 at least, and i certainly dont want to head back to Div V for another season.

 

[Adamc]

Reasonable start, lost Cuss early but Ashton and Gilligan saw off the openers. Rest of the bowlers are superb so it should be plain sailing for a while. Would prefer Gilligan to get out soon, already done the job he was there for. 250ish should be a decent total.

End of Over 14: 66-1, runrate=4.71
Nightingale 2-0-13-0
Ashton* 37 (38 balls)
Gilligan 20 (36 balls)
Last Wicket: Cuss c. Carey b. Dissanayake 8 (FOW: 17/1)

Edit: though if he keeps carrying on like this, he can stay in for a while:

15.3 4 Nightingale to Gilligan
Straight off the meat of the bat for four runs.
15.2 4 Nightingale to Gilligan
He seems to be batting by numbers. We’ll have a four this time please!!!
15.1 6 Nightingale to Gilligan
A pre-empted slog, and it has paid off, the ball just cleared the rope.

Edit: nah, he's out now.

[Spitfires_Fan]

Warickshire 99ao (37) Connelly 6-19, Liddle 2-21
The Heath CC 102-0 (22.4) Grant 49*, Gardiner 48*

Pretty easy win for me against a team that's even newer than my own I think. Looks like there are a few of them in my league, so I fancy myself to do quite well this season.

Connelly was MoM, breaking a promising 3rd wicket partnership to take them to 58-3, and proceeded to bowl a very economical 10 overs, including 3 wickets in his last over to help clean up the tail. Note to self - setting spin bowlers to very defensive on uneven wickets apparently works...

Grant and Gardiner eased towards the total with no major alarms other than a bit of dodgy running. Would have liked them to get there a bit faster, and it would have been nice if one of them had been able to reach 50, but can't complain. Very encouraging start!

Hmm, won rather comprehensively in the end.

i need a friendly anyone....

Yeah. Challenge Tawonga Tigers.

 

[nibbs]

yeah, whenuapai went down in a pathetic heap this afternoon. i'm not very happy about it. that is all

 

[new_age_ar]

I had a TIE after scoring 302. I still don't get this game, my best bowler e/r wise was my worst bowler in terms of stats. If i don't get a decent rookie soon, i might buy a proficient bowler, cus im bowling line up sucks.

 

[Johnners]

Started the season on TIE with an expected comprehensive victory, should have won by more had i realised all my bowlers were set on V Defensive.

 

[Bobisback]

Youth pull time. I predicted on MSN that i would get a double med/woe allrounder, and thats what i got, my last 2 Youths make up for it though. Time to start saving it up again.

 

[Johnners]

Worthless YP, didn't use any ITS thankfully
