Best. Win. EVER.

Put in to bat, we're down and out at 56-5 after just 14 overs. Janes does the unthinkable and puts something together with the tail, and we scrape our way to 109 all out. Only Oleary can save us, surely.

First two balls: two wickets down. It then calms down a bit, but by the time Oleary and Pead's spells are over they're 22-3 and rocking. Gill starts chipping in, and before you know it they're 43-5. But then Marriott and Piercy start leaking runs, and soon they're 9 runs from victory with five wickets in hand.

Then it's four runs and four wickets...
four runs and three wickets...
three runs and two wickets...
two runs and one wicket - just one run for the tie...

And Gill snaffles a catch off Piercy's bowling and Beard XI have incredibly won by one run!

That was ace. Against last year's league winners, as well.

Haha. Watched a bit, but gave up on you when they were 92-5. Crazy.

Asterix XI v Borderliners

Asterix XI won the toss and elected to field.
Pitch: Green

End of Over 13: 55-4, runrate=4.23
Lancaster 7-0-35-1
Elliott* 32 (31 balls)
Pearce 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Hedley Run Out 1 (FOW: 55/4)

In our last five OD meetings I've sent them in (winning the toss every time), bowled them out for 130-180ish, and chased the total for the loss of 2-5 wickets. Hopefully heading that way again, just need to get rid of Elliot and the next batsman in.

And that's the end of the match. Swamibapa Leeds CC won by 1 wickets.
The super sixers 224-10
Swamibapa Leeds CC 225-9


End of Over 50: 225-9, runrate=4.50
Granville 9-0-40-3
Cherry* 24 (18 balls)
0 (2 balls)

49.1 1 Granville to Cherry
Outstanding save from James! Cherry creamed that to the covers and James dived full length to his left to cut off a boundary.

Cherry You Gun!!!

5 wickets and a last ditch slog to win the game

Cool cool. Well done Maina. Now get in the ERUB thread.

[Nate]

Yeah, bogus match. Thought Read was going to get you home.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

It happens I suppose. Sucks though, I've pulled off a few surprises in my time but I've never been beaten like this before. S'pose I'd better strap a pair on and bounce back from it!

Won quite easily today, sold my wonderful-quality bat on Thurs eve so missed out on getting a really gun BatStat rating as I forgot to set my orders and a worthless-feeble opening the batting.

Still, not too bad:

		Boggles  	Sapphires
Top Order: 	quality 	sensational
Middle Order: 	remarkable 	proficient
Lower Order: 	abysmal 	woeful
Seam Bowling: 	miraculous 	wonderful
Spin Bowling: 	masterful 	strong
Fielding: 	mediocre 	feeble

Will almost certainly re-promote into the Ranji next season if the opposition there were anything to go by.

 

[Bobisback]

PY, your bowling ratings are so ***y.

 

[Adamc]

Bowled Borderliners out for 124. Just want to see my ratings itbt, should get 3 x elite. Hoping to get a few mil for my YP so I can buy a decent seventh batsman, which will put me close to elite middle order as well.

No one likes a show off.

Especially if he is a ****.

Haha, thanks , bit annoyed I sold my other bat tbh. Four seamers and a spinner is the attack for the future. It's the culmination of a 3 season long training program which is finally coming to fruition!

Got 2 batsmen trainees and that should fill my line-up to 11 players I'm happy with then it'll be a case of slowly but surely replacing each of my bowlers with an equivalent all-rounder for my plans for world domination!

 

[Bobisback]

My long term plans are to have 11 strong+ players. Only 4 players off

Had full crowd of 44,000 people in attendance today for the 1st league game of the season. Cool 320k into the bank, almost wishing I'd made the increase larger now if I'm filling it after one game.

Attendance mostly based on members morale?

Nick Knight! Worth it for the name alone, people. Come on, who wouldn't want to commemorate such an England one-day legend in their side?

Actual amount of legend may vary. Side-effects include tense, nervous headaches and a tendency to waft outside off stump. Consult your doctor before buying Knight.
