Why is it whenever you rearrange your batting order to give a knackered player a bit of a rest, your top order folds like a pair of threes looking at a royal flush? Humbug.

 

[NZTailender]

I agree with this comment. The greed and desperation for success that seems to emanate from some managers here is a concern. There are too many short term thinkers. You need to think long term

Then fire that **** trainee already, ffs.

Nah, you have to think long term. He is **** right now, but in 8 seasons time, he will be a good fill in player.

 

[Nate]

What we're all thinking.

 

[Dead Badger]

I hate FC with a passion. OD-style collapses seem to have jumped ship, as I have just lost my last seven wickets for six runs to transform what was drifting towards a draw into an almost certain loss. Bollocks to this.

Edit: Or, my lot could skittle them for 106 and I could win by 32 runs. What a weird match.

now now. lets not get ahead of ourselves. grady allison is probably already good enough to make the majority of sides in the magical land of battrick. just think about that. if there is one fault in that young man, its that he is too talented imo.

I am good enough to make most sides in BT.

Shaping up for a good match here, thought I was screwed at the end of my innings.

End of Over 25: 72-5, runrate=2.88, reqrunrate=2.40 (131-10)
Erasmus 3-0-12-0
Dolan* 23 (40 balls)
Parkinson 2 (13 balls)

Last Wicket: Williams c. Terry b. Canning 10 (FOW: 66/5)

 

[Nate]

Got to love a live Canning-bash Nady

Hurst in a good position, could tilt either way though.

End of Over 22: 99-2, runrate=4.50, reqrunrate=5.64 (256-3)
Holmes 1-0-2-0
Elson* 25 (35 balls)
Robertson 42 (60 balls)

 

[Johnners]

Keep putting 1 bid on trainees, then forgetting.

Won my OD match today by 10 wickets on TIE. Cleaned 'em up for 136, Harris & Kanelo chased it down without incident.

 

[Nate]

End of Over 30: 140-2, runrate=4.67, reqrunrate=5.85 (256-3)
Holmes 5-0-18-0
Elson* 52 (62 balls)
Robertson 51 (81 balls)


Need to take two or three poles in the next ten, or we lose.

 

[Nate]

Going down in a big way. Disappointing, but good wake up call to the improvements needed for my side.

 

[Bobisback]

I hate this ****ing game. cbf explaining. Just look at Stonebridge's last overs to see why.

Back to watching FTP.

 

[Dead Badger]

A last minute collapse doesn't prevent me from posting a reasonably competitive total in seaming conditions. But are my slightly pooped bowlers up to defending it? Can the Beards swing a second improbable Div III victory in a row? And does anyone care?

Probably not, probably not, and probably not.

End of Over 50: 252-9, runrate=5.04
Dixon 10-0-74-4
Boardley* 32 (23 balls)
Pead 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Piercy lbw b. Dixon 4 (FOW: 252/9)

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I sort of care.

 

[Dead Badger]

Oh, good. That almost makes up for the fact I lost, then.

 

[Adamc]

You must have, without rival and without doubt, the worst tactics in BT history, because it's gotten to the point where I'm not even surprised that you've choked.
