Got the top team of the division 6 down just before the 40 over mark, but predictably since they'll get better ratings they don't collapse in a heap shortly after.

Fingers crossed, bite wood, chop off a black cat's foot and chuck it under a ladder and so on, but I think I might be favourite today, after my batsmen, or three of them at least, pulled their fingers out of their upholstered rectums and actually put together a decent total.
Cymru Gurgitaters 326/6 - Staveley 126 (131, celebrated turning Strong with his first ton since January!), Patel 70 (92, really good supporting knock from the Skipper, but Woe Stam meant he gummed up a bit towards the end of his innings, already addressing that in the nets), Dunfield 43 (21, thrashed the thrupnies out of the last ten overs!), Greening 28 (22, a cameo which had me gizzing at one stage, but threw it away stupidly, probably owing to Woe Conc, also being dealt with in the nets.) Pinch hitters Wynne-Willson and Carless, kind'a did part of their job, in so far as they didn't hang around longer than necessary, (Wynne-Willson out for a diamond duck and Carless following him back before he'd finished on the bog, but they forgot the slightly more tricky part of the pinch hitting role, with 0 and 3 respectively!
Should, with the emphasis on the "Should", win from here, but do have to bear in mind that they have two strongs opening, (even if they are only rated Resp), that it's a H+F pitch, and that they posted 306/4 in their last league match.
COME ON THE GURS!!!!, Trev

The point is the ratings shouldn't make an iota of difference when it comes down to one crap batsman against 2 good death bowlers in the last 10 - but amazingly when it's the better team that has the crap batsman he always hangs around for a while. If it's the slightly worse team with the crap batsman (or even if it's a decent batsman) he disappears and the ludicrous collapse ensues.marc71178 said:

I don't nkow if I mentioned but my very first game is against the top side who is unbeaten. I set me team to take it easy because I know we have no chance of winning. Is that wise? TIE, after all, improves the fitness of your players, no?

Amazingly all my best batsmen get out for crap scores whilst Shields (attacking temperament on attacking orders) scores 63 off 127 balls to make sure that the run-rate is impossible long before the fourth wicket goes down. I'd love to see how sophisticated the match engine *really* is.

Okay, time to do something drastic…Although I'm at a loss as to what exactly!
I kind'a feel like the Yanks after Vietnam. I went steaming in in my Apache helicopters and F14 Phantoms, to kick some Nottinghamshire Nips up in the air…And they picked me off one by one with their single-shot rifles and pieces of deadly-sharp bamboo!
Cymru Gurgitaters 326/6, Staveley 126 (131), Patel 70 (92), Dunfield 43* (21), Greening 28 (22), Mullins 22 (17).
Nottinghamshire 327/4,(47.5). Hogard 143 (130), Nixon 56 (68), Lamb 65 (55).
And the Roll of Shame!
Edworthy: 9/0/77/1
Mullins: 8.3/0/69/0
Atherton-Ham: 10/0/79/0
The only two who are allowed out for a pint tonight are Bewers, 0/36, and Burke, who, whilst his figures of 2/63 aren't going to get him on the front page of Wisden, does have do be judged in the context of both his own recent performances and those of the rest of the team.
Abject, that's the only word for it really! Didn't achieve above Med for anything in the ratings, and neither did they, apart from the key difference between the sides, their Prof top order. It's been Resp all season, but somehow today it hops up a level.
Was a good game for the neutral anyway, They blasted off and looked as though they were going to romp home in thirty overs, then Bewers and Burke chucked some napalm into their village and actually forced the RRR up to nearly nine around the 32nd/33rd over. But then Bewers finished his tour of duty, and Burke caught Malaria, and Atherton-Ham returned to stage his very own form of LH spin anti-war protest, bowling flowers at the Nips and blowing them kisses. So come the 40th, they'd run off into the Jungle to regroup, and came back at us with guerrilla-type attacks on our war-weary bowlers. One did blow himself up in a run-out ****y-trap, and Edworthy did manage to pick off another with one of his indiscriminate bursts, but by then the damage was very much already done!
So now I have to go back and face the wrath of my public, or at least my members, and contemplate the very real prospect of automatic relegation. 5th, 6th and 7th place in my league now all have three wins. I head the group with NRR+1.65, followed by Nottinghamshire with -4.5ish, and Urwenda with -11 or so. I'm guarantied one more win, with another possible, (Yeh right!), Notts I can't see winning another game, but two of their three aren't impossible, and Urwenda, like me, have one shoo-in and one possible, against me! So, it's looking like Notts have left their very impressive run at safety just a week or so too late, and it'll be Urwenda and The Gurs in the playoffs, but there's still a lot more brown boxers for my Mrs to wash between now and the end of the season!
Later, Trev.

Cool. Cheers Nibbs.
We're getting spanked as expected right now.
End of Over 25: 142-1, runrate=5.68
Xingwana 6-0-24-1
Ireland* 73 (62 balls)
Hinds 21 (42 balls)
Last Wicket: Wasserman c. Zibi b. Xingwana 43 (FOW: 93/1)
Crusaders v Ridgeway Cricket Clb (246057) if anyones interested.
Edit: Despite the fact I had a team before I never actually watched a live game. Pretty cool IMO.
25.2 . Illett to Hinds
Was that the doosra? Illett had Hinds tied in knots. Drummond is laughing his head off, behind the timbers.

Had an easy bot win yesterday. Now hitting Superb top order/spin on TIE, I'm expecting big ratings tomorrow because I'm only playing one spinner - so if a Strong and a Comp can get Superb, a Strong should get a bit higher...

End of Over 34: 188-1, runrate=5.53
Illett 5-0-17-0
Hinds* 37 (70 balls)
Ireland 100 (88 balls)
We had them pulled back to about 5 an over with superb bowling by Xingwana and Illet then Ireland carted one Xingwana over then an Illet over. Illet had 3-0-4-0 before that...
36.6 W Sabata to Roscoe
Got him! Driven strongly down the ground by Roscoe, but plucked from the air by Sabata as he followed through after his delivery stride. Wonderful reflexes!
36.5 W Sabata to Hinds
Driven to Chadwick at short cover, brilliant catch low to his left. Excellent field placement there.

Got thrashed by Maduro CC (the team with the Australian spinner). I had four batsmen make double figures, although Nomvete impressed
Magical Ponies 141 (44.5)
Nomvete 64 (120), Griffin 24 (35), Extras 21
Maduro CC 3/142 (21.5)
Heard 1/30 (5), Dunne 1/34 (5.5), Drench 1/37 (5)
Must've given them a shock, as I had them at 2/13 at one stage. Given Canning and Tedstone weren't playing, and I was on TIE, I'm pretty happy with that performance really.
Magical Ponies Maduro CC
Top Order: respectable strong
Middle Order: feeble respectable
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: mediocre respectable
Spin Bowling: mediocre miraculous
Fielding: woeful mediocre
MOTM: Roper (64* off 60)

Doubt we'll get even close...but hopefully Drummond can get past 50.
