Hey mate if my bid is successful for Anton Baptiste, then i will be off loading a couple of my competent batsmens and bowlers. You can have them for free if you want, here there stats:

Doubt he'd get them for free, other people would bid!

 

[chaminda_00]

Doubt he'd get them for free, other people would bid!

Yeah i know, i just posted them, so he knows there on the market if he wants them.

 

[chaminda_00]

Crap im off to a really bad start:

End of Over 12: 53-3, runrate=4.42, reqrunrate=3.16 (172-10)
Lorensuhewa 1-0-4-2
Nurse* 32 (35 balls)
Hanson 0 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Clayton c. De alwis b. Lorensuhewa 0 (FOW: 53/3)

My two proficient batsmen are both out.

 

[ash chaulk]

Record bid here i think

http://www.battrick.org/nl/playerDetails.asp?playerID=435627

yeh stupid SLATER knocked me outta the cup twice he was gifted with the best team in aus at the start

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bowled the opposition out for 96, should belt their bowling around (they had woeful seam bowling last week) and get a decent NRR boost.

 

[marc71178]

Maiden ton for Verde - amazed it's taken him so long to get one, I'm putting on a reasonable effort for a game I expected to lose comfortably in.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Won easily as expected, 10 wicket win in 18.3 overs.

72-0 after 12.2 chasing 209 to win. Hopefully we can close it out from here

 

[superkingdave]

pfft, batsmen take 3 singles off the last over of the fielding restrictions then the 16th goes for 1,6,4,4,W,4

challinor obviously lacking something between the ears.

Well he's alright as a number 7-8 for crappy teams wanting to improve their fielding... so you never know.

[Adamc]

Resting Watkins today, so need to put up a big total as my bowling will be a bit crap. Shouldn't be too difficult as they only got mediocre seam in their last match, but they've got a couple of decent batsmen and it's H+F so it might be close. TIEing for the sixth match in a row, I suppose I can afford to PAN the cup match on Sunday.

A game which begs more questions than it answers, despite its emphatic result. Buoyed by their 312 total against Gazza's Lads in their only previous match, FC Davidovf one the toss at home to league-leading Cymru Gurgitaters, and boldly elected to bat - Which is the first mystery. What exactly was going through the mind of home captain Nortje when he saw the green-top? and felt the beads of sweat on his forehead in the close conditions? and *still* fancied taking on The Gurs' four-man seam attack, spearheaded by the rapidly developing Bewers? The cynics in the crowd wondered whether his name was Serbian in origin? And if so whether the Serbs 2PM World Cup kick-off against Argentina had a factor in his thinking?

Well Bewers for one wasn't arguing, as he struck for the first time with the score on just 16. Nortje himself saw his off stump cartwheel, and the manner of his death-or-glory 10 will have done little to quieten the World Cup conspiracy theorists. In stark contrast, his equally Slavic-sounding opening partner, Brinkhuys, faced a marathon 29 deliveries for his four runs, (the second longest knock of his team's innings!), before eventually losing patience with Edworthy's nagging line, and edging him to keeper Carless. It turned out to be Edworthy's only scalp of the day, as he posted 5/1/11/1 - The Gurs' work-horse once again falling victim to the lack of flexibility in the default bowling orders.

However today was the Gene Bewers show. He was Magisterial throughout his 7/3/12/3, and like Edworthy, could have finished off proceedings himself had he not been forced out of the attack. In fact, so good was his mesmerising spell that even the FC Davidovf fans vocally expressed their incredulity when he failed to carry away the MOTM Champaign - The second case of the day for the X-Files! As well as Nortje, Bewers bagged No.3 Manning and No.4 Watkins, for 6 and 2 respectively, to leave the FC Davidovf innings in disarray on 32/4 after 13.

If you could engineer a situation in which to have your first bowl for your new club, then you couldn't really have come up with much better than less than forty on the board, with four wickets already down and the fielding restrictions about to be lifted! So debutant Theo Bent had to go some to top that, but he managed. Having plundered the previous over from Bridges M for a four and a six to carry him to FC Davidovf's top score of 15, No.5 Basson was beginning to become a slight nuisance, but off just Bent's fourth delivery he went for one flat-bat too many and Greening held a composed catch at Long Off. The 28-year-old Greek Cypriot RFM continued to bowl with both control and aggression throughout his 6/2/9/2, and, along with the ever-irascible Irishman Mullins, played a key part in ensuring their was no repeat of the lower-order rearguard actions which have taken the shine off the last two Gurs' bowling performances.

Mullins was only just getting into his stride when he wound up the innings on 62, to finish with 2.5/1/2/2, putting pressure on Edworthy at the head of the V.76 bowling averages. The only cloud in The Gurs' blue sky of utter bowling domination was a third consecutive lacklustre performance from record-signing Bridges M. The Strong-rated RHS went for 22 off his five, including one comedy over of 13. His figures would indeed have made grim reading had he not struck twice in his final over to remove numbers eight and nine, McHale and Haynes - The former bamboozled by a top-spinner which dropped out of the sky onto leg stump, and the latter trapped in front by a well-disguised arm ball. But even these two flashes of brilliance oughtn't to mask what was a very ordinary spell. With no discernable fitness or form issues, Bridges M's decline is the third imponderable riddle of the day, and one which Vayro needs to address before the trip to Dragnets in just a fortnight's time!

In reply The Gurs did exactly what they needed to, namely wiped off the arrears in short order to give themselves a massive NRR boost of nearly five points in the Div V promotion table. Staveley led the way with a breezy 27 (23), which is apparently all you have to do to be MOTM these days! and Noon kept his season's average above 200 with an incident-free 10* (10). yet once again a near-perfect response was marred by the loss of a needless wicket. It's not only the form of Vayro's key bowler that he needs to worry about, the nick of Superb-rated batsman Greening will also be giving him sleepless nights. Since a rampaging century against DrunkCI, the Crafty ****ney has managed just 17 against Liverpool Lightning and 22 today, and has now slipped out of V.76's top ten batsman.

So all-in-all, The Gurs were far too good for today's task, but Vayro won't be relaxing too much, because, as Annie famously put it, 'Tomorrow is only a day away!'

If they're not the right brackets then I'm **ed as I only know two types, and now I've tried both of them!

Trev, you want to press the button you pressed there, but with shift de-pressed

 

[Adamc]

You've got to hold down SHIFT with those brackets to get the square brackets. It doesn't seem to work though, I think your Stephen Hawking program messes around with the formatting a bit so it doesn't come out right, so don't worry about it. You seem to be getting some decent ratings though; I take credit for all of Bridges m's good performances in perpetuity.

 

[superkingdave]

managed to win pretty comfortably in the end by 8 wickets with 10 overs to spare.

Islam managed to take 5-23 on a dusty wicket, my spinners took a combined 0-87 from 20.

would you say i might have a chance if Islam can get some early wickets?

 

[Adamc]

I had a look at their team, looks like their top order rating is mainly due to his gun batsman (Whittingham). Chambers looks like he's mainly a WK. Apart from that their batting is nothing special, so as long as Whittingham doesn't score too much you could win.
