fight hard mate your boys can do it!

 

[chaminda_00]

What should I train him up to and what difference would it make to the price. I reckon I need about $2m more cash to afford a good enough player to improve my team.

You would need to train him on double nets until the end of season to get 2m. I don't think you will get more a couple 100k for him now or in a couple weeks.

The players are off the field for the change of innings.

Dec coming with the loss of a wicket this morning.

 

[bugssy]

I'd sell Keith though, he's pretty useless at the moment.

My highest individual score was 208 last year in the first round of the cup against a bot. We got 446 overall, then bowled them out for 23

i have listed him at 400k see what happens. what you guys think.

 

[EARLOBE]

He should sell pretty easily, I'd say around $600k+

You should have listed him for $0 and bidded on him yourself or got somebody else to bid on him though. That listing fee is a prick.

 

[andruid]

And that's it for the days play. Join us again tomorrow for more ball by ball coverage.

And that's the end of the match. an innings and 182 runs.

Lead by 11 runs. (butterfingersXI 186-10)
Dixon 2-0-3-0
Bartlett* 5 (12 balls)
Grant 2 (12 balls)

Yeah! 4 run outs this morning - might as well be playing England...

 

[Nate]

Haha, rallying behind the Spits bigtime. Loving it.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Thanks man Grant has gone but we're making a decent enough fist of the reply thus far. Batsmen are all set to defensive, partly because I didn't think we'd bowl them out so quickly and thought we'd be fighting for a draw, and partly because it's cloudy and windy today.

End of Over 12 (5 runs). The Heath CC: 27-1, runrate=2.25 (1st Inn: 190-10)
Lead by 31 runs. (butterfingersXI 186-10)

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Just listed Holly for 2.5 because I desperately want an early bid on him. If someone would do that for me I'd really appreciate it.

 

[andyc]

Ended up bundling this team out today pretty easily.

Magical Ponies 5/402 dec. (77.0)
Tedstone 116 (172), Terry 105 (116), Canning 77 (56)

Levendis XI 76 (38.1)
Potgieter 6/5 (9.1), Canning 2/18 (12), Erasmus 2/20 (6)

Levendis XI 20 (18.1)
Canning 7/12 (9.1), Potgieter 3/7 (9)

Levendis XI Magical Ponies
Top Order: respectable quality
Middle Order: competent strong
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: mediocre exceptional
Spin Bowling: mediocre strong
Fielding: woeful woeful

Full strength possibly not needed there, but it was over quickly at least.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Won by an innings and 69 runs, 244ao plays 54ao and 121ao following on.

Geoff_Boycotts_Grandmother XI Scaly Piscine CC
Top Order: quality superb
Middle Order: quality superb
Lower Order: feeble mediocre
Seam Bowling: sensational phenomenal
Spin Bowling: proficient exceptional
Fielding: woeful competent


Surprised by the spin bowling going up another level. Seamers did all the damage as usual. 'Run outs' robbed Summers of a 5-fer/10-fer.

End of Over 34 (6 runs). The Heath CC: 105-3, runrate=3.09 (1st Inn: 190-10)

Oak 8-1-28-1
Sutton* 13 (25 balls)
Kepler 38 (55 balls)

Last Wicket: Bartlett lbw b. Oak 31 (FOW: 78/3)

In the same position as we were in the first innings - hopefully Kepler can go on and make a bigger score than 52 this time.

Edit: Tea

End of Over 40 (Maiden). The Heath CC: 126-3, runrate=3.15 (1st Inn: 190-10)

Kepler winning the battle but losing the war one feels. Due for a ton.

 

[Jamee999]

Setting a target:

Snodin* 14 (31 balls)
Warnock 10 (24 balls)

 

[Nate]

Kepler tonnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!! Off 145 balls aswell. Was he set on defensive?

Talbot doing a job too. Though he'd want to be with his FC bowling.

 

[Majin]

opener #1 currently sitting pretty on 342*
opener #2 out for 222
number #3 out for a ridiculously quickfire 145, don't think I've ever seen an innings from my team with as many boundaries
number 4# currently 42*

Look to be on for a big total xD

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

The Heath CC: 190 (67.3) Kepler 52

butterfingersXI: 186 (71.2) Wahid 45, Roberton 44

The Heath CC: 237/5 (80) Kepler 120*


Best day of FC cricket yet for The Heath - great performance with the ball and in the field this morning, and Kepler's innings has been something else. He's also on defensive - seems to be suiting him very well!

Now I have a dilemma as to what to do tomorrow. It's going to be sunny, so batting will be easier. Thinking I should just bat on and try to make sure of the draw - it may end up that the only way I can win is if I get bowled out before lunch and then manage to run through their lineup in two sessions. Not impossible, but I think a draw is the most likely result.

And yeah, Talbot's not a great FC bowler! But then he is only med/comp...
