Yep, against a team called Exeter too... as Battrick would put it, woeful, abysmal, worthless and useless.Jamee999 said:95 all out

Finally managed to access the commentary for my league match today. Lost the toss so they're batting currently.
Pretty ordinary start for my team. Male picked up a wicket in his third over, but Gillespie failed to get a wicket in his first spell for the first time in the history of the universe. Got a runout to have them at 38/2, but they've recovered well and are currently belting my fourth and fifth bowlers around. 121/2 at the half-way point of the innings; I need a wicket sometime soon...

Methinks I'll have to fire this guy:

Hoping to get a few quid for my feeble/feeble 19yo batsman, but not holding my breath.

Well, that's the end of their 50: 276/7. Same old story really: everyone bowls rubbish but Gillespie picks up a bunch of wickets in his second spell to keep it under 300. Took all four of his wickets in his second spell, ending up with 4-36. The rest of the bowlers were distinctly ordinary, three of them wicketless and the other one taking 1-59. The fielders did more then those four bowlers combined, managing two runouts.
Oh well, we should still get there. The other team seems to have a strong bowling lineup, though. Still, my top eight reads: superb, respectable, strong, proficient, competent, competent, competent, competent, so I'll be annoyed if at least two or three of those can't manage a good score. All of them are set to attacking or v. attacking.
Cuss of the mark with a cover drive for four.
Off to a good start - 77/0 after 10 overs. Cuss 32* (29) and Bridge 24* (24). 200 more at 5 an over.

Gaian Ascendancy 281/5
tripe bowling apart from the recalled Wrigley, who escaped with two for 48.
Dynamo Morpork 285/3 (47.3 ovs)
Another ton from Lester - his fifth of his career, with 113. Yet his average goes down to 125.78.
91 from Cable, too, his fifth fifty - but no ton yet. New batsman Shaka Herbert makes 11* off 7.

Won my match comfortably in the end. Cuss hit another unbeaten ton with 130* off 124, his eighth ton in 16 games, taking his average to 160.33. Bridge did well also, hitting form with a steady century (100 off 147), his third. Berry came in and hit 28* to take us past the total in 47.2 overs. Satisfying nine-wicket win to start off the season, but still a lot of bowling problems to work on.
Btw nibbs, what's Wheat's stamina? That kind of thing seems to happen to players with low stamina, they manage to score at a reasonable rate for a while, but eventually they hit the wall and stop scoring altogether. It's a bit annoying.

Bad luck Nibbs. I dunno why he scored so slow, mediocre stamina isn't particularly bad. Must've had a late night or something. 
Not sure whether or not to play my next cup game on Take It Easy or not. The team I'm up against looks pretty ordinary, but I've got no confidence in my bowlers (apart from one) at the moment, so I'll probably play on Normal.
I've only got three bowling positions settled at the moment - Gillespie because he's awesome, Male because he's proficient so should theoretically be pretty good as well, and Berry because he's an allrounder which allows me to put in an extra batsman. I've got a lot of competent fast/medium bowlers, but most (all, rather) of them have been doing poorly, so I might play my mediocre spinner. I was hoping to hold him back until he popped to competent, but I don't have much choice at the moment. The other bowling spot is a four-way race at the moment (they all keep false-starting though...).
