Not doing too well, really, on a cracked pitch against middling batsmen. Pead was toothless as an opener again, and Gill's having a shocker. Have to hope Piercy tightens things up before the last 10 overs, or I'll be chasing more than I want to.

End of Over 21: 92-2, runrate=4.38
Marriott 4-0-19-0
Lane* 25 (22 balls)
Smith 32 (54 balls)
Last Wicket: Ifill c. Bromby b. Oleary 17 (FOW: 45/2)

Edit: Well, he's certainly keeping it tight:

End of Over 30: 111-2, runrate=3.70
Piercy 5-2-7-0
Lane* 32 (39 balls)
Smith 40 (91 balls)
Last Wicket: Ifill c. Bromby b. Oleary 17 (FOW: 45/2)

End of Over 2: 17-0, runrate=8.50, reqrunrate=2.04 (114-10)
Greo 1-0-14-0
Clunnie* 13 (9 balls)
Samiullah 1 (3 balls)

Coasting to an easy win...

End of Over 21: 112-1, runrate=5.33, reqrunrate=0.48 (125-10)
Lancashire 4-1-8-0
Lay* 52 (65 balls)
Fordham 51 (50 balls)
Last Wicket: Khotso c. Tweed b. Daniel 5 (FOW: 18/1)

Looks like a easy win here

 

[Dead Badger]

Proper squeaky bum time in my match, as Alshaun and Oleary go in one over. 10 runs, four wickets in hand ... can they do it? Arrgh.

End of Over 40: 166-6, runrate=4.15, reqrunrate=1.10 (176-10)
Christie 10-1-41-3
Janes* 18 (34 balls)
Gill 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Oleary c. Sanghera b. Christie 0 (FOW: 166/6)

Edit: STOP TAKING SINGLES OFF THE FIRST BALL, JANES! Jesus. One run needed for victory, but Marriott facing...

Edit edit: and he gets it. Thank goodness for that. What a needless bit of drama.

Sky Blues bids £14,712,728 for Hendrie. Deadline is in 51 mins.

Glad really, regretted putting in the last bid. Not going anymore, time to look at plans b c and d.

 

[Bobisback]

Just put a 12.5m bid on Everett, if i dont get him for that, will look at other options. Not bidding again. (Have said that before though )

 

[33/3from3.3]

End of Over 39: 195-0, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=3.91 (237-8)
Hinshelwood 8-1-32-0
Chaithanya* 81 (142 balls)
Solomon 96 (96 balls)

Hmmm, I wish Chaithanya would just get out. When he's on strike he nearly never scores, then at the end of an over gets a single. While Solomon is nicely getting some fours.

GFI'd, didn't really need to but they have two gun bats and almost beat NorCricket last week.

Got him for 12.5. Fairly happy, leaves me with 5 million or so, looking to spend 4 on two superbs i think.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Don't see the point of buying old superbs for Div 3.

 

[Bobisback]

Don't see the point of buying old superbs for Div 3.

Dont see the point in buying 1 quality-quality either tbf. At least with two I have two chances at some luck.

 

[Dead Badger]

I would like to take a moment to mark what will probably be the last act of Scaly Piscine CC before going bot. They were beaten with one ball to spare by a team consisting entirely of batsmen, and featuring no specialist bowlers; indeed, Scaly's bowling out-rated cow corner's by a total of sixteen levels. Therefore, we commend Piscine CC's ashes to the ages with these words:

"Piss off, Battrick."

Amen.

 

[nibbs]

I'm going to miss that guy.

Hmm, Presently 3rd in II.1 NZ. 6 points off the lead atm. A top 3 finish looking easily achievable at this stage.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

And that's the end of the match. Central Districts won by 10 wickets.
DVS Strikers 104-10
Central Districts 105-0

Round 9, here I come.

Haha, awta. (Even though I have won that way once.)
