Second guy - definitely not. First guy wouldn't be such a bad buy, but I'd wait for something better (especially seeing as you have a lot of money).

BARNES OUT
Having a good start to the season after being relegated to Div. 5. Bowled them out for 196 on a Green pitch with my Strong bowler taking 5/27 including this:

Code:
47.5 	W	Hodge to Samuel
 	 	Hit out to deep mid wicket and Munroe takes a comfortable catch amongst the assorted trash thrown from the terraces.
47.4 	W	Hodge to Grogan
 	 	Went for a big swing, went for a bigger walk..... That's not how to do it kids!
47.3 	W	Hodge to Kesterton
 	 	The batsmen mistimes his shot and bottom edges onto the stumps. That was the equivalent of a gimmie to the fielding side.

Went ahead and purchased Tucker, figured i can train him for the next 2 seasons and get him upto remarkable. He is now the best bat in my team and should serve me well. That will do me on the TM for a while now. Have $1.7 million left so will let the interest and stuff bring me back over the $2 million mark.

This has to be the weirdest match i have ever played. Every batsmen has scored way slowly than most matches i have seen on battrick, like around SR=50. I dont kno whether the green pitch has caused this. And as soon i write this they start to get a move on with 13 off an over!!!
End of Over 33: 145-2, runrate=4.39, reqrunrate=1.82 (175-10)
Meechan 7-1-38-0
Vincent* 38 (63 balls)
Westhead 2 (8 balls)
Still need 31 more runs....

International Captain
the stars of whenuapai! i suspect i'll get carried but oh well...

Seamus Hamshaw - 22 years old, BT Rating = 24,469, (Superb Bat, Respectable Bowl)

If looking at Whenuapai CC's history Hamshaw would go down as the clubs best players so far in my books. 2915 runs at 83, and 46 wickets at 31. Often a reliable batsmen, although he has a lot to prove as a bowler. Slowly overcoming fitness issues at the moment. The clubs inspiration captain has a lot to offer this team yet...

Jason Duggan - 19 years old, BT Rating = 31,467, (Superb Bat)

With only 1573 run @ 131 to date, he has a lot of work to do to catch Hamshaw, but the general concensus is that he will. Consider the club's premier batsmen, isn't far off of reaching the quality mark. Very to get out, only dismissed 12 times in 26 innings, he is certainly a star in the making.

James Holmes - 27 years old, BT Rating = 11774, (Feeble Bat, Superb Bowl)

With 126 wickets @ 11, James Holmes is Whenuapai's number 1 bowler. Career best figures of 8-25, accompany 7 five wicket hauls. As well as that, Holmes has also proved a useful batsmen from time to time. Although he does struggle against decent attacks he has played some crucial innings. His highest score is 162 scored in round 1 of the season 2 cup, but his best innings is considered his 36* (32) against yodos yobos which saw the side score 210/9 after coming in with the score at 155/6. The game was eventually won by 19 runs after he took 5/32.

Jim Mutasa (English) - 21 years old, BT Rating = 12,749 (Strong Bowl)

Probably my sides most overrated player. Seems to gather unwanted attention on CricketWeb for having a Lion Kingisque name. But in saying that he has taken 80 wickets @ 12, whilst opening the bowling with Holmes

Ken Lennon - 21 years old, BT Rating = 14,448 (Strong Bat)

As really started to come on after a slow start to his career. 1844 runs at 68 including 3 100s. Has become increasingly reliable in recent times, after proving a real let down as a youngster.

Steven Sweeney - 19 years old, BT Rating=12,743 (Strong Bowl)

Many expect that in a season or two, Sweeney will become Whenuapai's premier strike bowler. Emerged from the youth academy the same season as Duggan, but he has taken his time in finding his feet. His 26 wickets have come at 18, but most agree, the best is still to come.

All comes down to this...

End of Over 49: 298-5, runrate=6.08, reqrunrate=4.00 (301-3)
Payton 10-0-76-0
Killeen* 5 (6 balls)
Lever 154 (133 balls)

Hignett has been bowling well, has 9-0-48-1, and will finish us off. Payton has been shocking.

Ah, ****

49.5 4 Hignett to Lever
He waits on it and then drives well through the covers.
49.4 1 Hignett to Brackenbridge
Opened the face of the bat, third man running in to field.
49.3 1 Hignett to Lever
Pitched on the legs, Lever flicks in the air to the long leg region, single taken.
49.2 1 Hignett to Brackenbridge
Tucked away nicely backward of square for the single.
49.1 W Hignett to Killeen
Good ball pitched on the stumps and going straight on, Killeen plays forwards and gets hit on the pad, loud shout, given by the umpire.

We had a bowler on strike, with 3 balls to go, 2 runs needed to win... ffs

McCammon 86
Saunders 36

Thanks mate, i was going to finish him off from last season, but its going to take too long so, i will give his bowling net to my 17yo.

Winning pretty easierly so far in my 1st league match, but im probably playing the weakest side in my league.

End of Over 28: 103-6, runrate=3.68
Priyantha 9-1-26-3
Madurapperuma* 10 (21 balls)
Jayatilleke 27 (31 balls)

Last Wicket: Champika c. Priyantha b. Girubaharan 2 (FOW: 76/6)

Well, I TIE'd - which means my fitness is now at Lively. Will probably Normal my Cup game (next league game is an easy one, which means if I win this Sunday, I can PAN next Sunday too). I have a home game this week - so at most, I could rake in 350,000 in gate receipts by next sunday. (Assuming 1) I win my cup game this Sunday, 2) I get the home game next Sunday and 3) I sell out)

Bowled my opposition out for 261 after they were 200/1.

Singh blasted through them with 6/55 and their last 5 wickets fell for 11.

I'm currently 25/0 off 5 overs. Going to be a tight finish I think.

Won my game easily, and I'm very happy with the result

pecksXI 101 (36.1)
Tedstone 5/14 (8), Giles 2/19 (8.1), Drench 2/30 (10)

Magical Ponies 1/107 (17.0)
Birchall 54* (50), Griffin 28* (24), Hera 16 (31)

Magical Ponies pecksXI
Top Order: mediocre woeful
Middle Order: feeble abysmal
Lower Order: abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: feeble abysmal
Spin Bowling: feeble woeful
Fielding: woeful woeful

Tedstone gets MOTM, obviously. I was pretty surprised with how he went, as he only had fair fitness, but it's convinced me to play Canning (also fair) in Sunday's cup match. Very happy with the result though, especially since it was TIE, and I got 121k from gate receipts.

The first wicket down, I'm against two superb opening bowlers so hopefully just weather the storm. :(

Really only three players of worth in my team:

Gavin Canning- 18 yo, BT Rating= 17,992 (prof bat, strong bowl)
Without a doubt the star of the Ponies, with his allround abilities making him my second best bat and easily my best bowler. Due to intensive training, he doesn't get many opportunities to play, but when he does he'll be noticed.

Greg Griffin- 20 yo, BT Rating=16,319 (superb bat)
The key to our batting line-up. Griffin comes in at number three, although a recent string of failures may see him promoted to open. Needs to start showing the responsibility he has to the team, and should really be looking at converting those fifties and hundreds into big scores.

Hamish Tedstone- 18 yo, BT Rating=9,137 (resp bat, resp bowl)
Another allrounder to come from the Magical Ponies youth academy, Tedstone has been a revelation for the team with both his spin bowling and middle order batting. He took his first five-for in only his fourth game, but is yet to make a fifty with the bat. I'll be looking to get him at least to proficient bat and strong bowl, but with Canning taking up nets it's hard for him to get a decent look-in.
