Tension building - he's got strength down the order but Turner makes the breakthrough as the last half-decent bat goes. All very exciting...

 

[Nate]

Haha, 6 run-outs for the match. Niceeeee. All of <5 overs left aswell I think.

Classic victory.

Thanks mate! Just celebrated the victory by making a new signing:

Andrew Mclean (107827)

LH Batsman, LF Bowler, proficient batting form, proficient bowling form, sublime fitness.
A steady player with strong leadership skills and competent experience.

Plays For: The Heath CC
Nationality: England
Age: 25 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 10,974 (+528)
Wages: £1,371 p/w

Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: woeful
Batting: proficient Concentration: respectable
Bowling: worthless Consistency: mediocre
Fielding: mediocre

Cost me a tad under £800k. Pretty pleased as he'll bolster my batting lineup and gives me an excellent captaincy option, seeing as Gardiner (comp/woe bat) is definitely slipping down the pecking order.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

If I put a 22yo on a solitary fielding net (no primary net), how many times would his secondary pop in a season?

End of Over 37: 188-2, runrate=5.08
Vickers	9-1-40-0
Khulelaphi*	86 (106 balls)
Attwood	19 (38 balls)

Solid, but I'm going to need more than 250 to be a chance of winning this game.

End of Over 37: 167-10, runrate=4.51
Noon 6-0-15-1
Churms* 91 (96 balls)



Churms gave me something to bowl with. He now has to follow up that innings by opening the bowling.

 

[Bobisback]

End of Over 40: 212-3, runrate=5.30
Byles	10-0-71-0
Granville*	43 (41 balls)
Metcalf	0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Clarke c. Beaumont b. Sicelo 34 (FOW: 207/3)

Sicelo taking his only wicket with his last ball. Good bowling though with 1/38.

Hoping Wikus and Poke destroy them now, bowl them out for about 230. Chase will be interesting.

EDIT: Just looked at his bowlers, nothing too special, a Destructive spinner, about Wonderful, and its a Dusty pitch. But Wikus is better, and didnt do much in his first spell. So i should chase it, but i probably wont.

Dhindsa 20 (31 balls)

Interestingly poised.

 

[chaminda_00]

If I put a 22yo on a solitary fielding net (no primary net), how many times would his secondary pop in a season?

I think it the same as having say one batting net. So about 12 weeks per pop.

Fallon 9-1-57-0
Wilberforce* 4 (4 balls)
Dhindsa 66 (63 balls)
Last Wicket: Fordham lbw b. Keegan 107 (FOW: 202/3)

Fordham falls after his second career century. A fine innings from him.

Wilberforce currently averages 8 in OD matches, with a high score of 15. Not expecting him to improve that today tbh.

 

[Johnners]

Had a comfortable 113 run victory on PAN. I probably could have played on TIE but I couldn't risk having an upset loss after losing my first 2 rounds. Moloto was the star with the bat, being left stranded on 95* as we racked up 245. Meyer took 3, and Hamlin 4 as they cleaned up the opposition inside 35 overs for 132.

End of Over 47: 282-8, runrate=6.00, reqrunrate=27.67 (364-0)
Rankine 9-0-49-3
Brooks* 35 (28 balls)
Gordon 0 (0 balls)

Going to fall short of the total. Disappointed with the bowling but a great batting effort against a much better side.

Edit: All over in the next over.

And that's the end of the match. Rabbit Force won by 77 runs.

[PY]

My game could turn out to be quite interesting, bowled them out for 101 and I'm 18/2 currently with my two last decent bats in at the moment.

Nail chomping time.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Knocked off downy quite easily in the end. By 130-odd runs.

Can someone link me to the stadium calculator, got a feeling I might be needing an upgrade. Sold out today.

 

[bugssy]
