[EARLOBE]

Playing a bot who are 1/1 at the moment. Set all of my team to very defensive hoping that the bot will bat for a decent portion of the day so my bats don't get too tired tomorrow. Got $41k in gate receipts so I definitely want it to last the three days.

 

[Athlai]

My first pop, I'm so proud.

 

[EARLOBE]

My tactic is working a little better than I expected.

End of Over 24 (Maiden). aussie139: 15-1, runrate=0.63
Ferrier 1-1-0-0
Smith* 7 (71 balls)
Brown 6 (68 balls)

Cawood 12-12-0-1

 

[Athlai]

24 overs for 15 runs. Gun.

 

[EARLOBE]

Cawood 16-16-0-3

I only wanted him to have 8 over spells. Think that is a bug?

Perhaps a dire captain.

 

[Nate]

Same thing happened to me Ears. V frustating sometimes.

 

[EARLOBE]

I don't think it's the captain he's got strong captaining ability. It doesn't bother me at all, he's my worst player and he's only playing because it's a bot so his PFL doesn't matter. It's just a bit weird seeing a feeble stam med/comp bowler bowling 17 maidens in a row.

End of Over 36 (9 runs). caves_beachcc: 219-1, runrate=6.08
Reeves 9-0-53-0
Longthorn* 63 (57 balls)
Skipper 81 (110 balls)

Last Wicket: Schofield lbw b. Nile 68 (FOW: 103/1)

boys batting nicely. its a change from the recent run of formm the boys have had.

 

[andyc]

End of Over 38 (5 runs). Magical Ponies: 168-2, runrate=4.42
Seaby 7-1-16-1
Griffin* 1 (1 balls)
Kilkenny 60 (89 balls)
Last Wicket: Farmer b. Seaby 91 (FOW: 167/2)

Going well enough, just aiming for a draw. Would beat them easily on full strength, but I'm trying to last the three days, and keep my PFLs. Farmer made what I reckon is at least his third 90 this season, poor guy

 

[cameeel]

End of Over 41 (6 runs). GRCC: 213-1, runrate=5.20
Causon	3-0-15-0
Mclean*	51 (48 balls)
Mason	78 (109 balls)
Last Wicket: Mcanuff lbw b. Byron 81 (FOW: 142/1)

Would be happy with a draw here to be honest, they're not that good, but i'm resting Vernon, Chambers and Brydon for this game, so there's my two best bowlers and the opening batsmen not playing. If they keep going like this it should be easy enough to force a draw.

 

[Speersy]

End of Over 46 (7 runs, 1b). Div 5 Roosters: 291-0, runrate=6.33

not bad for a FC game against a guy that is undefeated. Only been playing for a few months, soo stoked with the partnership.

48.1 W Cawood to Hather
Hather pulls out the 1 wood and goes for the big drive. Unfortunately for him he hasn't made the ladies' tee and is caught at mid off by Athukorala. Out.

His figures now read 6/0 off 25 overs

 

[Nate]

Haha Ears. Methinks something is not quite right.

Going along really nicely. Would love to win this match, move me up to third. Only restign two players, so you'd hope I could win. Going to declare on 450.

End of Over 50 (5 runs). Brackenhurst: 270-2, runrate=5.40
Lyons 16-1-107-1
Hamlin* 38 (31 balls)
Burnip 117 (133 balls)

 

[pasag]

Resting everyone against the bot for the blockbuster against Fuller later in the week.

End of Over 50 (Maiden). krayzie02: 54-9, runrate=1.08
Roscoe 15-7-14-6
Silcott* 4 (68 balls)
Shoe 0 (16 balls)
Last Wicket: Clapham st. Raptula b. Roscoe 0 (FOW: 54/9)

 

[bugssy]

and the collapse and bad umpiring decisions allways kill me

End of Over 60 (2 runs). caves_beachcc: 313-6, runrate=5.22
Nile 17-1-66-4
Mulhern* 2 (9 balls)
Jongikhaya 16 (21 balls)

Last Wicket: Keith Run Out 1 (FOW: 310/6)

57.4 W Nile to Mohjuddin
Big appeal... yes, he's given him! Nile is overjoyed, Mohjuddin doesn't look too happy about it... and yes, looking at the replay, the umpire's made a clanger there, he's missed the ball by a long, long way...

 

[EARLOBE]

NO!!! He's going to get stranded on 9 wickets. His figures were 31-28-7-9 before the idiot captain decided to pull him from the attack. I hope my other bowlers are as ineffective as they have been so far. I want my first 10 wicket haul.

 

[Nate]

31 over spell? Reckon te captain pulled him off 'cause he's deceased tbh.

 

[EARLOBE]

lol. Yeah I'd say his PFL would be drained by now. I don't care he's bowling the whole of next innings. It wasn't to be this time.

End of Over 66 (1 runs, 4lb). aussie139: 59-10, runrate=0.89
