[Scaly piscine]

Well the guy I bought same time last week took hours to appear in my squad.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I assume it's Battrick's monthly "Friday Fever" as I like to call it, where it all goes wrong.

 

[nibbs]

well, adam, i tried and failed to sign john cameron. he went for too much in the end. just robbed myself of 3 hours sleep in the process. ffs

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

How much did he fetch Nibbster?

Ratings today on TIE and happy morale:
Boggles Leeds United
Top Order: respectable sensational
Middle Order: mediocre feeble
Lower Order: abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: mediocre respectable
Spin Bowling: mediocre respectable
Fielding: feeble feeble

Lost by 53 runs which isn't bad at all. Used damage limitation with normal batting and v defensive bowling. What happens if I finish 6th in my league (India II), do I play off against someone because I'm very tempted to get relegated just so I can start winning games again.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea 5th and 6th both have play-offs to avoid relegation.

Won my game by 10 Wickets

well done alternative!!!!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Seven-run defeat today, coming back from 47 for four, then 183 for seven with a 78-run stand between Jules Crouch (109) and Glenn Harris (48). With eight runs to get, Crouch and Fear are dismissed on consecutive balls, then after an extra Harris gets caught. Glad I didn't watch that...

Also of mention, this gem:

Isaac 	hit wicket 	b. Beechers 	36 	51 	3 	1

Beechers, as you may or may not know, is SLA...

 

[roseboy64]

Won my match comfortably on PAN. Another win and I'm guaranteed second with just two games left. Though if I win the next two matches and 1st place loses their next two I could win my league. Rested one of my fast bowlers today and next week I'm going to rest him as well as my star allrounder but play both on the last game of the season. If I'm in a position to win the league I'll play my best team but otherwise I'll give the fringe players a go.

Had an easy win on TIE, bowled opposition out for 86 then got the runs in 14 overs. MotM for Louis in his last match for the club with 4-21.

Much-needed boost to my NRR, now gives me a chance of topping the league if I beat Doobie Bombers in week 14. I've got an easy match next week against 7th place so I should be able to boost my NRR further then as well. Need NorCricket to lose though as I doubt I'll catch up to their NRR.

Jayasuriya is a gun

 

[alternative]

I am currently #2 in V.226 (One Day League) and surely will be there even after the final two matches, so do i move to a different league in the next season or wha happens?

 

[AussieDominance]

you have to come first

Yeah, AD's right. You'll just stay in the league you're in now.
