Fired, I would assume.

hahah unlucky i got a similar player

 

[chaminda_00]

Fired, I would assume.

Your man Hogde is running through us pretty bad:

4.4 W Hodge to Clayton
Bowled him! The inswinger clearly bamboozled Clayton and he didn't even attempt to play it. That one'll keep him awake tonight!
4.3 W Hodge to Quintin
What a cracking ball. Quintin couldn't do much about that one.
4.2 W Hodge to Hanson
Did that pitch in-line? Umpire says yes and the slow raise of the finger signals that Hodge has got his man

That makes it 5/26, looks like its going to be a quick match.

Rob, sorry about the full strength team but i didnt get a chance to come online and change it before the match.

My YP. Fired. Gonna have 40 ITS next time around. Probably gonna invest in a wicketkeeper or batsman.

If you've always wondered what would happen if 2 Superb batsmen came up against 5 abymal bowlers then tune into my friendly match on sunday, College Dropouts V aRu. Should be one hell of a slog-a-thon lol.

So far so good.

End of Over 34: 299-0, runrate=8.79
Farley 7-0-62-0
Jayasuriya* 141 (104 balls)
Kennedy 147 (105 balls)

Am going alright here in my game, am bowling first. Stone, who, judging by his wage would be either high respectable or low proficient, is playing a horribly slow innings, I just hope we don't do something stupid like get him out. Bit disappointed with Canning, he only took 1/34 off his 10.

End of Over 36: 145-2, runrate=4.03
Giles 8-0-32-0
Stone* 44 (100 balls)
Riggott 13 (35 balls)
Last Wicket: Harrison c. Parr b. Canning 15 (FOW: 112/2)

Edit: Erasmus and Dunne doing the trick in the last 10 again. Bowled them out after 48 overs, with the two of them taking 8 wickets for 44 runs. Erasmus ends with 5/36 off 9 and I'm chasing 216.

Man thats was embrassing:

Jaffna Jets - 76 All Out
6/27(7) Hodge - MOTM

Central Districts - 0/77
De Beer 33(41)
Herd 38(44)

Rating were pretty close, so i got no idea what happened:

Central Districts Jaffna Jets
Top Order: competent mediocre
Middle Order: feeble feeble
Lower Order: abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: mediocre mediocre
Spin Bowling: mediocre mediocre
Fielding: feeble woeful

Woah, I came online to watch our game and it's over?! How on Earth did that happen!

I'll give you a rematch sometime soon, because your guys are definately better than that.

Well thats my batting line up, they collaspe like that from time to time when they come up against decent bowlers.

I might play you again later in the year when my trainees are ready to play in the starting XI. I might try an organise a friendly for next week with Greg or AD, so i can win a game against a CW team.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Andy, you up for a game next week? You'll beat me, but a game's a game.

Sure, just challenged you. Hodge vs. Griffin will be interesting.

Anyway, wrapped my game up fairly easily, Farmer outscoring Griffin again

Fishos 216 (48.0)
Erasmus 5/36 (9), Dunne 4/38 (9), Canning 1/34 (10)

Magical Ponies 0/217 (32.4)
Farmer 117* (105), Griffin 91* (92)

Magical Ponies Fishos
Top Order: competent mediocre
Middle Order: mediocre abysmal
Lower Order: abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: mediocre woeful
Spin Bowling: mediocre woeful
Fielding: woeful woeful
MOTM: Erasmus

Best middle order rating I've got yet, I think. Would be because I had Canning (prof) playing at 5, and Sutton (resp) was moved down from number 3 to 4, hence coming into the middle order.

 

[nooga99]

Any one for a friendly at my ground?

 

[andyc]

Wow at brenoevo's game. Contrived, no doubt, but 253* not is crazy.

 

[Adamc]

What do people think of this guy? Currently going for 700k with 90 minutes to go. Edit: A day and 90 minutes. Probably won't get him then, and I'll try to save up money for the start of next season when prices hopefuly deflate

Got my cup semi today, against Doobie Bombers who beat me by 63 runs on Friday (scoring 354 on a slow pitch). Ratings from that match:

     [B]	    Doobie Bombers 	Asterix XI[/B]
Top Order: 	wonderful 	remarkable
Middle Order: 	remarkable 	strong
Lower Order: 	abysmal 	feeble
Seam Bowling: 	proficient 	remarkable
Spin Bowling: 	strong  	strong
Fielding: 	feeble 	        feeble

I tried to change my pitch to Green, but for some reason it ended up staying on H+F for three days, so that's what we're playing on. Going to promote Watkins to no. 3 (he scored 79* off 49 balls from no. 5 on Friday) and hope we don't lose many wickets.

I'll change the bowling orders around a bit as Friday was a disaster. My best bowlers ended up with the worst figures - Louis 1-82 and Watkins 1-72. Will need a lot of luck to put a dent in their batting lineup though.

Accepted, looking forward to this.
