Looks like a comfortable victory for me, should have some easy league games for a while now.
I'm 133-0 after 24 chasing 184 for victory, Packer 69* and Nile 59*.

They played 3 spinners (one of which opened the bowling) to my 1, so the bowling ratings are a bit misleading (overall they're basically averaging competent + 40% bowling, compared to my respectable + 20% bowling), I figure most of my ratings are at high sub-levels as well as they're the same as last week and I've since won two games and have a better team fitness level and have trained most of my bats and bowlers.

Thrissur CC 171 All out (Islam 6-13)
Sad Decadent XI (R.Abdul Kadir 80(63))
. Best performance to date for him, quite sad it was a bot, but i'm hoping it's a watershed in his career and he starts taking wickets consistently now.

good to see the Islam clan in the wickets, i'm 176-4 after 33.2 chasing 184 to win. Barring a BT special i'm home. Islam took 4 fer and my other opening bowler made his first significant contribution with another 4fer. Norris didn't take any wickets but only went for 27 in his 10.

Painful stuff here against Doobie Bombers:
End of Over 8: 28-1, runrate=3.50
Pietersen 4-0-14-1
Watkins* 10 (22 balls)
Cuss 16 (22 balls)
Last Wicket: Whitehorne lbw b. Pietersen 1 (FOW: 2/1)
Really need one of these two to make a big score. Dusty pitch and cloudy/humid, so I'm hoping something over 200 will be enough for Whitehorne and co. to defend. Their batting lineup isn't quite what it used to be, but they still have two exceptionals. Wanted to bowl first, worried i'm going to collapse any minute.

Managed a messy, but nonetheless convincing seven wicket win against season Two Cup winners, and now semi-bots, Berserkers.
An estimated £10m of Gurs' talent sat this one out, including Greening, Staveley, Noon, Bennett, Bewers and Cash, so I suppose it was a pretty good performance given that, and now everyone will be fighting fit for a third round Cup match which promises to be closer than Andy and Roseboy are to that Piper bird in the 'Introduce
Yourself' thread!
After Berserkers won the toss and elected to bat, Resp/Feeb Bent took the new ball and bowled through, but he could only manage the one wicket for 29 in his allotted ten. Mind you, that's still one more than opening partner Resp/med Edworthy managed in his first spell. Sup/Prof Bridges M, the one true class act in either side, nipped in for a couple first change, but whilst the run rate never threatened 4.00, Berserkers held on stubbornly, reaching 93/3 after thirty.
Back-up bowlers Comp/Med Crick, and debutant Med/Woe Manzini, then took a wicket a piece, before Edworthy and Bridges M came back to polish things off for 134 after 43. Edworthy redeeming himself with 4/20 off 6.4, and Bridges M returning a tidy 8/3/18/3.
In reply Comp/Abs Wynne-Willson bought it in the first over for one, but Creasy, who has identical stats, and almost an identical wage, somehow went on to plunder 51 from 50! Prof/Resp Patel failed to cash in on the bot buffet, getting himself caught-and-bowled for 17 (14) But Resp/Woe Carey saw it home with 53*, (44). It was left to The Gurs' batting coach, and part-time batsman, Med/Feeb Kelvin Brammer, to hit the winning boundary off the last ball of the eighteenth, in his first league match for three seasons!
Pretty stinky ratings of Feeb/Woe/Wor - Med/Med/Woe, but what do you expect when you pick a team like that I suppose? At least it did the necessary job, and gave me an NRR boost of 4.51, only 1.07 worse than the team who beat them last week, with a full-strength side and ratings of Resp/Comp/Abs - Resp/Comp/Feeb.
Currently sitting second in the table with an NRR of 6.36, with another winnable game next week. I've been very fortunate in having all my easy-ish games first-up, so I've been able to rack my morale, giving me a better chance of beating the tougher teams. Apart from three teams, (My first three games) the other five in the league are very very evenly matched - So I figure that the fact that I've been beating the weaker sides, while they've been toughing it out amongst each other, might just give me the edge in close encounters.
On the Match Engine Debate, What I've noticed in my league, and from games people have posted up here, is that this season there is a much bigger margin of victory, for relatively little difference in ratings. Sides who are only one or two levels inferior (In total rather than across the board), have been getting beat by 100 runs or eight wickets, and stupid stuff like that.
Anyway, don't know if that's the same as what you guys are talking about, but it's my two penneth, for what it's worth!
Catch ya Monday, Trev

Bowled my opponents out for 101 - 30 more than the last match (pitch has gone from cracked to h&f in that time)
Now Herbert is gone for four and it's 27-2...

Hmm, I'm the only team with two wins in my division. Next week I play the only team with two losses in my division. There's still two/three teams who're about the same level as me I've yet to play tho, division is pretty close ratings wise.

I take it they're on two batting nets a week and they've had one week? Then carrying on with that number of nets it'll be 1-3 weeks. The longer it takes the higher the sublevel of stamina is.

Lost today against "billynomates" My batting just wasn't up to it really, and my bowlere were never really gonna defend 198. I did put the wrong person as keeper though, but I still would have lost. Looks like I'll struggle to stay up this season.
BTW Xuhaib, is your team in Pakistan, and if so what division are you in?
