An eminently defendable target in the end, as Bromby's wicket ENRAGES Platt, who uses THE RAGE to hit 83 off his last 50 balls (aided by the opponent's perverse decision to bowl his crappest bowlers in the last 10).

End of Over 50: 291-2, runrate=5.82
Boyd 10-0-77-1
Platt* 129 (134 balls)
Janes 65 (63 balls)
Last Wicket: Bromby b. Boyd 92 (FOW: 137/2)

My team>>>>>>>>>Your team.

Is that so?

 

[Dead Badger]

Easy win in the end, which I think is set to put me top of my league on NRR, seeing as the current leader is Boycotting his way to victory. Ace.

Beard XI 291-2 (50.0o) - Platt 129*, Bromby 92, Janes 65
The Red Devils 122-10 (30.1o) - Hamed 65*, Gill 4-20, Marriott 4-33

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Bah - lost by 8 runs in the end. Never mind, I'm still top on NRR and should win every game from here.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Christologos 100 all out (38.2)
Churms 48; Maidens 4/10 (5), Scott 2/27 (9), Meadows 2/34 (10)

Dynamo Morpork 101 for one (13.4)
Herbert 50*, James 37

Nice warmup to Sunday's big match.

As an added bonus, the league leaders are 44/2 chasing 252. Hope they drop points, that means I'm within 4 points of the top spot.

 

[headhunter]

Biggest win to date of BEST Indies CC today, and for the first time ever we top our league.

BEST Indies 240/10 (47.2)
Oakes 73 off 102

CDK 231/10 (48.2)
Patton 10-2-33-4

Didn't expect this win at all, happy to be top but not ready for Div.IV just yet.

 

[nibbs]

finally took the lead in III.10 NZ today, albeit on nrr, having been behind by 8 points early on. typical duggan magic seeing us though to 352/1, before the wickets were shared around between downer, khulekani and towse saw us knock them over for 48.. two easy games follow now, with the winner takes all final match of the season some three weeks from now. we should win it comofortably, just.

 

[mikeW]

Is that so?

All those games were so long ago they mean nothing. I didn't even have Churms in any of them.

To settle this, freindly when we are both out of cup?

 

[Johnners]

Nah, after the season ends, will be GFI'ing the rest of my matches, don't want to screw up PFLs.

Just bought this guy:

Plays For: kruza_11
Nationality: Sri Lanka
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 11,312
Wages: £805 p/w
Processing ...
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: strong Concentration: respectable
Bowling: worthless Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: woeful

I think he's only just hit 'strong', but he's a decent captain and he's still going to be straight into my first XI.

How many nets? Well, I've got him on 2 batting at the moment.

 

[nibbs]

hmm. get him on a stamina net also imo. that guy has real potential, and if you stick him on 1 stamina net until the end of next season he'll hit superb. well worth it in the long run, pal

How much for?

 

[Nate]

Littlejohn gets Terry!!

Littlejohn to Terry
Littlejohn bowls a juicy half-tracker and Terry smashes it straight to Brazier. Good catch but Terry will be kicking himself.

Brazier such a gun fielder, rewarding his selection already. C'mon HURST!!!!

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

How much for?

$2.4m!! Pricey, but i'm hardly ever on line when the end of the listing period comes up so had to take him. Still have a fair amount of cash sitting in the bank though.

 

[Dead Badger]

Well, at the start of the season I wouldn't even have taken 3-1 odds on my being in the top half of the league at this stage, and yet:

				P	W	T	L	Pts	NRR
1.	Beard XI		11	9	0	2	36	17.09
2.	Clay Cross Cavaliers	11	9	0	2	36	15.97
3.	Dagenhamshire		11	8	0	3	32	8.64
4.	The Somerset Crew	11	6	0	5	24	5.22

Unlikely to stay that way as I've got to play the 2nd and 3rd placed teams in the next two weeks, but I'm still damn pleased with the way this season's going.

 

[Johnners]

No pops again, Bosnich should pop in bowling next week though.
