Won my game fairly easily against the second-ranked team in my league, who are the only ones that could feasibly challenge me. I was on GFI, so if I didn't win I would've been fairly annoyed.
Larisa United 8/236
Dunne 3/44, Erasmus 3/54, Giles 1/37
Magical Ponies 1/237 (40.5)
Griffin 117* (121), Sutton 75* (75), Farmer 32 (54)
Despite being on GFI, my ratings were the same as against Rob on Sunday's friendly. Managed to sell out my 17k ground, though.

Fair enough. I'll give Canning a run then, but he's only on fair fitness so he probably won't do a whole lot.Scaly piscine said:
Wow! Just noticed my team fitness. I could've sworn it was sublime before, and now it's dropped to moderate. Is it meant to have that big of a hit?

Yep, it halves or something like that when you GFI.andyc said:

What have you got to do to make a game close! I've rested nearly all my top notch players, and still bowled the oppos out for 70. Although they did have an irritating last wicket partnership. It only added 15, but it took twelve overs, and drained my players PFL just a little bit more than it really needed to have done.
Currently 31 without loss after six, Bennett 16* (16) and Creasy 14* (20)

Surprised Lisbie has lasted as long as they have so far after hitting the stamina wall a while ago - should hit 300, their batting is weak-ish and looks very collapsable in the death overs..

Ended up with 316-5, 86=1 off the last 10 which is decent by Battrick standards (and below par in rhe real world).
Bit worried how Lisbie will do since they're opening the bowling after batting all that time. Having said that their guys at 1 and 3 are guys who bowled in the last 10. The bowling should have an edge over their batting (their middle order is only feeble as well), but being a hard and fast they'll probably make 200+ whatever.

Steamrollered Sad Decadent XI today on TIE, Mohammed scoring a surprise 142, Karthikeyan unlucky to miss out on a ton, but he has scored more than 450 in the last 4 matches. Quickfire innings' from Hibbert and Islam at the death helped us post 324..
Kiely demolished their backbone within the first few overs, snapping up two top order wickets. Bowling Abdul Kadir at first-change for him to run through the middle order didn't work, but he did quickly mop up the tail, handing Gaurav's team an embarassing 181-run defeat.
Would've liked to field first, ideally, but this win wasn't bad. Ratings were my best ever, and they came on TIE:

The promotion bandwagon rumbles on inexorably, with a slight hollow and pyrrhic feel to it. I'm honestly not complaining about winning, especially not after last season, I just wish I felt as though I'd actually had to do something to earn it. The next two weeks will be similar to today, but then it's the biggy! The promotion-deciding rematch against Dragnets, who I narrowly beat by one wicket in the first week of the season.
The sixteen thousand Gurs fans who turned out today could be forgiven for feeling as though they'd been slightly short-change, with less than 150 runs scored in the match, fewer than 50 overs bowled, and four of their heroes sitting out the win, with Sunday's trip to Liverpool Lightening in the Blind Cricket Cup in mind. Yet a run-fest could still have been on the cards against a pathetically weak opposition attack, were it not for the pragmatist in Gurs' Skipper Patel getting the better of the entertainer. There was an audible groan at quarter past ten, when Patel called correctly an invited rooky outfit Westside to bat, thus ending any hope of a spectacle.
But the Crowd didn't have to wait long for something to cheer, as Edworthy had Henderson, the one class Westside batsman, trapped in front for just 9 (18), and from then on the pressure didn't relent. In a courageous move Patel bowled out his openers, RFM Edworthy and RHS Bridges M, and the pair didn't disappoint. With five victims in his first eight supersonic overs, Edworthy must have been confident of surpassing his career-best figures of 6/20, but despite a raft of close calls and half chances, he went wicketless in his last two, to record 10/2/16/5. Bridges M, in contrast, never really seemed to get out of third gear, but had far too much class in his 10/3/27/2, meaning that by the time Patel had to call on his support cast, West Side were already teetering on 45/7.
Life facing Crick and Mullins seemed a little easier for Westside, so imagine the Gurs' celebrations, when just as a partnership was in its embryonic stages, No.9 Speedy did the bowlers work for them by tapping it out to Wynne-Willson at Mid-On, and setting off for a run which Japanese fighter-pilots and teenage fans of Judas Priest would have been proud of! - It would have been harder for left-handed Wynne-Willson to miss, and a moment later Speedy was hanging his head - But was it to avoid looking at the replay? or the scoreboard? which read 50/8. Longrig offered up doughty resistance for the visitors from No.3, facing 77 balls for his disjointed 19, but The fat lady began to clear her throat when he was struck in line by a delivery from Crick, just five runs later - Though as it transpired the scales were premature.
There is a term in cricket to describe number elevens, known as Ferrets, as they go in after the rabbits. If that concept can indeed be extrapolated any further, then the Westside final pair are, or at least should be, Yorkshiremen, as they go after the ferrets. Yet the hopelessly inadequate Fern and Murphy possessed the courage, application and determination all too lacking in their team-mates, as they kept the inevitable at bay for a stupefying twelve overs. Yes, they only managed to score fifteen runs in that time, yes, they were dropped twice each, and yes their efforts ultimately made no difference whatsoever to the course of the match. But Neil Fern will recount to his grandchildren until his dying day, the day he drove fast bowler Crick through the covers for four, and this is indeed the type of spirit the entire side will need to show if their to avoid slipping through the trap-door into the newly-created Division VI. But All good things must come to an end, and in this instance it was the umpires grumbling stomach which dictated when that should be - As there was a clear two inches of daylight between Andrew's off-break and Murphy's bat when the umpire inexplicably awarded the catch and removed the bails for lunch, leaving Westside 70 A/O.
Cymru Gurgitaters' reply was sedate and unflustered, but perhaps that's not really what was required, given the ease of the task in hand. Jason Creasy looked every inch the man playing for his future in his watchful 29* (37), but, well as Creasy played, surely if Vayro had his time again he'd have substituted him for the clubbing bat of Patel? As it was, he was forced to watch helplessly as precious NRR points went begging, with just two boundaries struck, (both by Bennett), in The Gurs' 13.1 over chase. Bennett once again showed glimpses of what a prospect he could one day become, but once again gave his wicket away unnecessarily, bowled by Fern for 31 (38), just six short of victory. Patel led his team home for the second time this week, but as on Sunday, the winning runs came via Mr. X, as the hapless Speedy misdirected his eighth and final delivery way down the leg side.

Another easy easy win today, Rhodes got 215* as we made 427-2, then skittled them for 166.
Also just noticed that Umar's popped to respectable, sp I think I'll change my line up so he bowls.
