I lost my last 5 wickets for one run, with Tedstone still in there at the other end. I'm still in 3rd, but now only NRR separates me from 4th and 5th.

Balls! Just handed a debut to my 17 year old batsman (first respectable player in my side) and he gets out to the first ball of the match!

Hahaha, nah.


Have put thalium in the beer. Will be funny to see them play without hair next week. In fact, they'll probably do better incapacitated.

 

[superkingdave]

Decent start tonight for my boys, have the opposition 56/5 after 16. Islam took 4 so far including a hattrick. Their best player by far is still in though so i expect they will make 200.

yer u got me covered buddy

Bowling on a sunny day, green pitch. Happy with that so far, the weather should stop their two medium pacers from running through me (not that they're that good anyway). They're a solid side (similar batting to me) but don't have anything extra. Summers is bowling in the last 10 so I'm hoping he can polish them off for under 200.


End of Over 30: 110-3, runrate=3.67
Pace 10-1-35-1
Cole* 13 (25 balls)
Lightbody 53 (77 balls)

Last Wicket: Hornsby lbw b. Pace 22 (FOW: 91/3)


Ooh, double wicket for Dillon:

End of Over 31: 113-5, runrate=3.65
Dillon 6-0-14-2
Cole* 14 (26 balls)
Grabben 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Howlett c. Appleby b. Dillon 0 (FOW: 113/5)

 

[Scaly piscine]

32.1 W Dillon to Cole
That's a truly woeful shot. He couldn't have been surprised to hear the clink of his wicket breaking.


Dillon completes his hattrick - 120-6 now and into the rubbish. Wish my spinners would stop bowling no-balls mind...

 

[Scaly piscine]

End of Over 43: 134-10, runrate=3.12
Summers 7-1-19-4
Alshaun* 0 (1 balls)


Shame the penultimate wicket was a run out, otherwise Summers would have a 5-fer. Hopefully I can chase that at 5 an over or thereabouts and get a nice NRR boost.

 

[Mahindinho]

From 111/0 (25 overs) to 189/1 (41ish) to 224/6 (47).

I'm not too displeased with that bowling performance, on a dusty pitch, especially given that I'm experimenting with a few things.

HOPEFULLY, I'll have a decent chance of chasing 240 or so. Knowing my luck, I'll fall just short again.

Oh well, I suppose there's always the cup.

 

[trevor_vayro]

For the second week in a row I'm making a total ****-up of what should have been a perfectly straight forward victory. Some how allowed seventh place Victoria Drivers to escape from 110/4 to 238/4. In reply Staveley, Noon and Patel are all gone, and I'm 53/3 after eleven. Need another ton from Greening, and my, as yet hopeless, middle order really need to consider pulling their fingers out of their bums!

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

The Heath CC: 332/8 (50) Gardiner 127, Bartlett 66, Marrison 44*
Burrages11: 108/10 (24) Woods 4/17, Davies 2/23, Marrison 2/37

The Heath CC won by 224 runs

My biggest BT victory yet, made possible by the biggest total I've ever made. Gardiner became the third player in my side to make a century in the league this season, and was supported by Bartlett's maiden half-century.

Woods and Marrison ran through the Burrages top order, and only a last-wicket partnership of 38 pushed their score into 3 figures.

My 3 debutants had mixed performances. Thorpe was out to the first ball of the match which was disappointing, but Woods excelled with the ball, taking a hatrick with the last three balls of his first over. Davies took a wicket with his first ball, but performed solidly rather than spectacularly aside from that.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Won my game by 8 wickets after bowling out their solid lineup for 134, lost two early-ish wickets but Armstrong and Wheat notched up unbeaten half-centuries and I won with over half the overs left. I should be top of my division now.

Also for those who haven't noticed the searches now require exact matches, which is very irritating. So it would be handy if you add your exact team details on here or in the other thread linked here:

Akshar XI 61 A/O 6/23 Clarkson, 3/9 Islam.

On a much better note. I'm now, first in my group. Thanks to India Bulls, beating De Soekwass.

KIWI DO IT? YES WE CAN!

Shortland Street, frozen lamb, cheap labour for London bars…Um….And other stuff! Well now you can add Frank Mohammed to that illustrious list of great Kiwi exports, as the New Zealand youngster came of age in a match against struggling Victoria Drivers, which Cymru Gurgitaters should have won easily, yet so nearly contrived to lose in spectacular fashion.

Perhaps some of the blame for a lacklustre performance in the field should fall on the shoulders of Vayro, who opted to change both the pitch and the bowling orders, leaving his attack bemused. Yet it started off so promisingly with medium pacers Rem/Strong Bewers and Sup/Comp Wilde strangling the early Drivers' run-rate, and prising out the key wicket of Rem South African Winnecott for just 14.

But in switching from Default to B4&5 Finish, Vayro had failed to take note of the fact that this required his openers to bowl seven overs straight through. Yes, Wilde normally bowls seven from the start with Default overs, but somehow today it seemed to take its toll much more, as the Med Stam trainee slumped from figures of 5/0/15/1, to finish on 10/0/50/1.

The pick of the bowlers were Strong/Prof LHS Cash, who capitalised on the spin-friendly conditions to return 10/2/32/1 and Bewers, who was extremely neat but a little light-weight for his 0/36. however, the men entrusted with the death overs, Sup/Prof RHS Bridges M, and Sup/Resp LFM Carlton proved today what many have suspected, namely that Superb is no longer good enough to affectively contain the slog overs. They laboured over The Drivers middle order of two Sups and a Prof, allowing them to escape from 110/4, to finish on a competitive 238/4. Bridges M 1/45, Carlton 1/67.

In reply Qual/Strong Alton (Towers) Staveley had a point to prove, with Wond/Strong Greening just forty-two runs behind in the Gurs' all-time run scorers table, and he proved it alright, giving an eloquent demonstration that Greening isn't two batting levels ahead of him for nothing, as Staveley lost his Off pole in single figures for the second time this week! No.3 Sup/Rem Joe Noon announced his arrival in bombastic style, hooking his first ball from Prof quick McKie high over Square Leg for six. But the problem with hookers is that once all the fun's over, you have to pay for them, and Mckie collected with interest when Noon's Cut was well held by Fernandez for just 16. 46/2 became 48/3 within the over, as Patel proved that swingers can be just as dangerous as hookers - Although in this instance it was Drivers' former England Keeper, Isaac Lawson who ended up catching something - Patel for 1.

At the non-striker's end, Greening had barely had a chance to run off lunch before he was forced to pick up the tatters of his team's innings, and he wouldn't much have fancied the company which he had to help him do it. Before today numbers five to seven, Strong/Feeb Mohammed, Resp/Sup Cash and Prof/Resp Qureshi had amassed a collective league tally of 37 runs, at a mean average of around 9. But, with his contract under review at the end of the season, today was the day that Mohammed stepped up to prove to Vayro why he should stay on. With a mountain ahead of Mohammed, he said "bring it on!", notching up his maiden league fifty from just 45 deliveries, prophetting from some wayward Drivers' spin bowling. By the time he was out for a career best 80 (122) the winning-post was just 13 runs away. Greening, 116* (119), was once again exemplary, if not a little subdued by his own very high standards, as a late acceleration masked what was, for long periods, a sluggish knock.

The Gurs now have a week to iron out the malaise in their bowling as they enjoy a virtual walk-over next Friday against IV.11 whipping-boys, Everton_aggro. But as July beckons, a trip to the fast-improving Wrong'uns, and a re-match against league-leaders Who's Your Daddy loom large on the horizon. Three weeks which will decide whether The Gurs' season is to be an odyssey or an oddity.

Won my match today, pretty pleased considering I was playing the top of the table team who were undefeated in the league so far. Ended up losing the toss away from home and bowling first, kept them down to 182 all out and then knocked off the runs fairly easily in 37 overs for the loss of only two wickets, Jan scoring another century. If I'd have been around for the first two games instead of missing them I'm fairly confident I'd be top of the league undefeated, and am pretty confident of beating everyone else in the league.

Just gutted I missed those first games and am now stuck at number 4 in the league on 12 points, with everyone else in front of me on 4 wins and 1 loss all on 16 points. My N.R.R is 11.62, and the closest to that are the blokes I just beat who have a N.R.R of 3.23.

Going to debut my 17 year old seamer that I bought not too long ago next game I think, see how he goes.

Edit: Ha, turns out my opening bowlers are leading the average table so far this season.

No  	Name  	                        M  	O  	M  	 R  	 W  	Ave  	Best  	5w  	SR  	Econ
1. 	Patterson (Guttedball ) 	5 	34.5 	6 	104 	17 	6.12 	4-8 	0 	12.29 	2.99
2. 	Carruthers (Guttedball ) 	3 	20.0 	1 	82 	10 	8.20 	5-21 	1 	12.00 	4.10

But for those two missed games Carruthers might be on top, who knows. Good stuff though, happy with that.
