Summers taking 3-1-5-7 today, they are all out for 54. I'm 27-0 after 3.

 

[Agent TBY]

Bowled opponents out for 28 today. Chased it down in 2 overs.

Not happy it took that long, tbh.

Spooky. I bowled my opposition out for 26 and got them in 2.0 overs!

I accepted your friendly challenge Mat, I'm going to swap things around a bit and play some stunted players so you should be OK.

Sorry Morkles, can I play you next week?

 

[Nate]

Morkles, can I play you this week?

Playing a Divison Three side in my fixture. Godobye 20/20 tournament - it's been a blast.

 

[Dead Badger]

Likewise, I made it through my group pretty comfortably, only to be confronted with a top Div III side. Never mind.

Kinda hoping my gamble that FC games won't come in next season plays out, as my squad's going to be knackered if the PFL hits are anything like this, and I'm sure as hell not going to be spending 150k+ a piece on comp/med filler.

 

[Bobisback]

Will need a friendly this weekend, probably be full strength.

 

[trevor_vayro]

Won today, just about.

My Pet Migit 122/4 Bewers 4/1/5/3
Cymru Gurgitaters 125/9 (18.4) Patel 46, Manzini 24, Creasy 17*, Bewers 12.

Top the group with 7/7 and NRR of 33.81. Don't have a fixture up yet, not sure if that means I've got a bye or not. Fittness hits haven't been too bad for me, as I've rotated the team daily, and no first team player have had to play more than four matches - No-one receiving training has played more than two. But I guess it's going to start biting from here on in.

Later, Trev

 

[Jamee999]

Anyone know where that page that works out how to size your ground and stuff is?

 

[Adamc]

Hmm, getting belted for ten an over in my last group game, not playing any good players so might be heading for a loss.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Morkles, can I play you this week?

Sure. Crushing awaits.

 

[Adamc]

Managed to pull off the win needing 39 off the last 3 overs. Needed 13 off the last over:

End of Over 19: 161-2, runrate=8.47, reqrunrate=13.00 (173-1)
Lake 4-0-33-0
Gilligan* 48 (34 balls)
Kekeletso 72 (53 balls)

Last Wicket: Sellars c. Cousins b. Silk 32 (FOW: 75/2)
19.1 4 Prest to Gilligan
Overpitched and driven sweetly for four.
And that's his fifty! Well played.
19.2 4 Prest to Gilligan
That's a thunderous drive through the covers by Gilligan and it's raced to the boundary. Four runs.
19.3 2 Prest to Gilligan
Oooohh, Culkin gets a glove to that but can't hang on. He glances at the umpire who confirms his worst fears by not signalling byes.
19.4 1 Prest to Gilligan
Prest drifts down leg and Gilligan picks him off to square leg.
19.5 1 Prest to Kekeletso
Bit of lift, picked up to deep mid wicket for an easy single.
19.6 6 Prest to Gilligan
Gilligan hits that straight out of the ground and through the pub window. They'll have to wipe the beer off the ball before resuming play!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Hm. Strange draw. I got the team that finished runner-up in my group. (Only because they rested their best players and Shaka bullied their 3,000 BTR bowlers into submission.)

 

[headhunter]

Lost my final game today finished 4th in my league and was never really in with a chance.
Will hope to get out next season.

 

[Nate]

Sure. Crushing awaits.

More than you know.

 

[Nate]

No good in the end. Unless the NRR is re-calculated, we'll finish 3rd.

1.  	Digital Punks  	7  	7  	0  	0  	28  	40.67
2. 	Morir 	7 	5 	0 	2 	20 	17.00
3. 	Henry's Dream 	7 	5 	0 	2 	20 	12.79

...and it was! Hope you realised you finished second. Congrats mate.

EDIT: Buuut, neither you or third place are playing a match at present. You have a bye? Even better?

EDIT: Meanwhile 4 sixes in 8 balls has me dreaming of beating this Division 3 side.

 

[Nate]

Brackenhurst -
End of Over 20: 173-3, runrate=8.65
Rawstorne 4-0-36-0
Read* 37 (20 balls)
Hamlin 12 (14 balls)

Competitive score on a green deck. They're a batting orientated side though, I`ll be hugely surprised if we put up half a fight. C'mon Hurst.

 

[Nate]

Halfway through their innings, and they're on track big-time. Don't hold much hope.

My best mate is smashing his against one of the top Division Three sides.

EDIT: Crappy bowler Lake doesn't care! Go son!

EDIT: And now Hindle! Could it be...? Haha.

End of Over 13: 103-3, runrate=7.92, reqrunrate=10.14 (173-3)
Hindle 3-0-21-1
Stifler* 1 (1 balls)
Boosey 1 (1 balls)

Lake gets hit for four. This will still be very difficult.

EDIT: They need 9 an over off the last three. Need to do it again boys.

8 runs in three balls. It's been fun.

EDIT: Let`s do this again! 12 from 12 balls.
11 from 11.
9 from 10.
8 from 9. C`mon guys, hang in there.
2 from 8. Haha.
0 from 7. The dream is dead!

In hindsight, would've played my batsmen more aggressively, but meh, they deserve it. Top effort Brackenhurst.

EDIT: Best mate gets home with a ball to spare! Mediocre-Feeble side beats Proficient-Respectable. Good times.

[Agent TBY]

Er, getting pounded here.

End of Over 5: 44-0, runrate=8.80
Woodward	1-0-6-0
Abdul kadir*	21 (11 balls)
Howlett	23 (19 balls)

Didn't expect this when I logged on.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Haha wow, thanks for pointing that out Nath.

I'm up against a Div 4 team, Bender Bending. Not going to GFI or anything, and I'll rest Pietersen as he's on "drained". He'll still be stuffed next season too, as he's on 4 nets.

By the way, is there somewhere you can see a draw for the knockout stage of the 20/20 cup?
