Nice game mate, twas good fun.

 

[chooka_nick]

Wow... that was exiting

 

[Adamc]

Yep, thanks for the game.

Closer than I was hoping for, I think this should give my bowlers a bit of a wake-up call. They've conceded 690 runs in the last two games. Good to see my batsmen doing well though. Cuss has made 122, 93*, 160, 95*, 98 and 150, and it still insists that he's in abysmal form (hmm, the 150 doesn't count to his stats because it's a friendly ).

Still waiting 4 a team

What country are you waiting for? If you applied for Australia or England you've basically got no chance of getting a team this season.

Waiting list by country:

Australia - 339
England - 1356
India - 20
NZ - 117
Pakistan - 116
RSA - 87
SL - 10
WI - 95

I'd suggest you try SL or India if you want a team quickly.

Playing against the bottom team in the league today, hoping for a big win to boost my NRR, since the top three are tied on points. Won the toss at home and elected to bat first despite the green deck:

[B]Asterix XI 334-2 (50)[/B]

Cuss          145* (124)
Canoville     3 (8)
Berry         124 (147)
Gillespie     45* (28)

Not too bad, probably should have scored a little more since we were going at seven an over at the halfway stage. Sent Canoville up the order as a pinch-hitter again, failed again; will probably revert back to my regular opener for the next match.

Cuss' record now: 122, 93*, 160, 95*, 98, 150 (friendly match), 145*. Healthy average of 237.67. It will be a sad day when he finally gets out for less than 90.

 

[Hoggy31]

I Lost

Made 278/7 of my 50, Top score Street with 58

Other team made 280/5 of 47.2 overs

 

[superkingdave]

Played unbeaten top of the table with a new look side, lost the toss and put into bat. Lawrence 67 and Steadhart 81, led the way whilst a lower order collapse was rescued by some lusty blows from Ellis batting at 9, vindicating the warwickshiresque tactics with 37*
We posted 264 all out with 3 balls left.

They started with a 53 run opening partnership before an epic collapse saw them all out for 118. With Gradley taking 3-8 and Macauley 3-16.

After looking like whipping boys at the start of the season, things are goign ok with 4 wins and 2 losses. 3rd in league level on points with Kwek(who i hammered last week) and 2 behind top of the table.

 

[Kweek]

yeah...you hammerd me
i had a good win, bowling the opposition out for 200 with Garrity 9.3 1 35 8
then watkiss, Easton and Varney saw me home in 36.5 overs

 

[nibbs]

in my match today the opposition are 64/9... awesome stuff here

 

[nibbs]

64 all out, f*ck yeh!!!
Henshaw 3/5
Holmes 36/2
Ogrady 15/1

Meh. Bowled them out for 213 to record an easy 121-run win, but the top two teams also had easy wins, so I'm still third because of NRR. Annoying since I beat the #1 team by nine wickets. Bowling was OK, Gillespie typically the pick of the lot with 4/29, three others with two apiece, but Owen 0/70! I think he might be dropped next week.

BTW, does anyone know how to increase the squad's fitness, apart from playing matches on 'take it easy'?
