[NZTailender]

End of Over 30: 146-2, runrate=4.87, reqrunrate=6.05 (266-10)
Vilakazi 10-0-45-0
Drummond* 47 (72 balls)
Dancy 13 (18 balls)
Last Wicket: Rampaul c. Lewins b. Chibale 70 (FOW: 125/2)

Drummond batting unusually slow here. Rampaul was going at better than a run a ball, so these two really need to change gears after we were comfortablely above the RRR for a while.

Next two batsman are Mcgreal and Prendergast. Hopefully they can win it for us on debut...

 

[nibbs]

another easy win today, although i'm pretty annoyed i didn't TIE, making it 16 wins in 16 competitive games this season. another great test awaits my chargers on monday though. i don't know it is going to shape up. this moves us 8 points clear, which means we will win the division... finally and promote to division II next season!

AesSedai 117 (29.5 overs)
Henshaw 6/25
Whenuapai CC 121/3 (25.5 overs)
Wheat 34 (44)

I'm almost crying right now. No ITS used... that would've been prof/prof.

Does anyone know what happened with the Q&A session? Adam, I'm looking at you.

 

[Adamc]

I actually had a transcript of it but I kinda forgot to save it, being 4am and all. All I can remember is that 1) FC is confirmed for next season; 2) the calculation of team fitness and morale will be changed next season (about time). I asked Allan if he thought there was anything wrong with the way batting orders work (e.g. setting someone to very attacking then having them score at two an over) and he said no.

Wow. Our friendly tomorrow should be a good one, given my most recent ratings. Can't wait.

Hmmm... FC will be interesting. Do you know if the FC and OD games will be played in different leagues/divisions? Cause if they're not, I may stay in Div V for another season to increase my stamina/secondaries.

 

[Adamc]

I missed the start of it, but I think it was confirmed that FC and OD would be in separate leagues (though no mention of how the FC leagues will be determined).

A nice TIE win keeps me solidly in 3rd place with my best ratings yet (although they're nothing special so I'm not going to share them!)

Added to that I've finally got the quick bowler I was looking for to improve my team at the right price (£459001):

Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: feeble Concentration: woeful
Bowling: proficient Consistency: competent
Fielding: woeful

So list my weakest bowler to try and get the cash back up a bit and give me leeway in the market:

Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: worthless
Bowling: competent Consistency: respectable
Fielding: abysmal

Bidding at £357001 with almost 36 hours left - be nice to see that up a bit more, but still not a great net outlay for a much better player!

[Agent TBY]

Off Topic: Gaurav, I see you're on Sokker. Good going.

 

[andyc]

Pretty balanced in my game against Central Districts (batting), although they're on top given I've not yet got a wicket.

End of Over 19: 92-0, runrate=4.84
Tedstone 5-0-21-0
Herd* 39 (50 balls)
De beer 52 (64 balls)

Edit: Canning bowls Herd first over back, currently 1/101 after 24.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Ugh, both of them have hit a horrible stamina wall. Which is strange, especially for Heads, because he's hit it straight away and he's med, so is De Beer. UGHhghhsgfh oh well.
