BatTrick Cup Part Deux - Signup, Draw, Results and Banter

[Robertinho]

Looks like that is the job lot for the weekend. Good luck to all involved and may the best teams win (and Rob lose. ).

Why you little..

 

[Robertinho]

Asterix XI v The Conquerors
Got Spin v AA For President
Citizens Erased v Magical Ponies

Viveash v Boggles
Sad Decadent XI v Boulevard Bombers
Robertinho Select XI v Jamee 999ers

Scaly Piscine CC v Lancashire
Victoria Panthers v Bushpigs
Drunk XI v Whenuapai CC

College Dropouts v VCC
Kipper XI v Vindscreen Vipers - Kipper XI forfeit. Vindscreen Vipers win.
Central District v Hoy’s Holy XI

What I propose for forfeits is that we assumed the scoreline was Team 1 - 0/300 from 50 overs, and Team 2 - 10/150 from 50 overs.

 

[Robertinho]

Viveash 2/101 in the 19th over against Boggles - slightly tipped in favour of Boggles but I think Wainwright is Ash's best batsman, so we'll see.

I sent Jamee in to bat, he's 1/74 off 20 overs, Mills with 5-1-10-1. Other games worthy of note - Victoria Panthers are doing well against the Bushpigs, have them 4/97 after 20 overs. VCC have made 2 crucial breakthroughs against College Dropouts - both Jayasuriya and Kennedy gone in the 40s, it now looks like VCC have this one in the bag.

Great stuff Rob, very happy so far with the way were going.

EDIT could of had them 6 down but Hook's has dropped 2 catches at 2nd slip

 

[Robertinho]

Argh, ffs, Jamee is actually scoring runs now.

 

[mikeW]

happy with my lads, bowled the bushpigs out for 199.

 

[Robertinho]

Far too late -

49.4 W Mcmillan to Sherrington
There was a sudden rush of adrenaline and Sherrington stepped out of the crease only to find Gray do the rest of the job beautifully. Stumped!
49.3 W Mcmillan to Bardle
More spin than a party political broadcast. Mcmillan has made a monkey of Bardle with that one!
49.2 W Mcmillan to Bradford
He was over-eager and Bradford has paid the ultimate price for his weakness. Sharp work from Gray to whip the bails off as well.

Three stumpings for Gray in the innings. Gah. No way they should've made 240. Mcmillan with 4/53 though they were cheap, fairly useless wickets. Mills the pick of the bowlers - 10-3-15-2, great bowling, could've picked up a couple more wickets though.

[mikeW]

Hmmm not good at all, slumped to 7/93 chasing 199. 2 mediocre bats in.

 

[Robertinho]

Looks like Boggles are going to beat Viveash quite easily. Victoria Panthers are 7/92 chasing 200.. don't think it will happen. College Dropouts fighting back, removing Tarick's superb bat, they're 2 for around 100, a steep hill to climb if they're to win this. I am 0/149 after 21 overs, Gray is 82* (70) and Mcmillan 60* (57), hoping to wrap it up quickly. We might need to work out a "bonus point" thing aswell, in cases like Tarick's win last week.

 

[mikeW]

I lost but my ratings im vedry impressed with, my best ever.

Top Order: competent
Middle Order: mediocre
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: competent
Spin Bowling: proficient
Fielding: feeble

 

[ash chaulk]

W Singh to Lockwood
Yes. No. Yes. No. Wait. No. Yes. Wait. Yes......NO!!! That had run out written all over it there and Lockwood glares back at his teammate as he trudges off the ground.


the story of viveashs day

good win py

 

[Robertinho]

Ended up winning by 10 wickets, both Gray and Mcmillan notching up unbeaten tons. Apart from winning, I am so so happy to see my ratings barely dropped after my fitness dropped from Invigorated to Fair. Team fitness - not all it's cracked up to be?

Robertinho Select XI
Top Order: strong
Middle Order: competent
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: competent
Spin Bowling: proficient
Fielding: feeble

Only drops were Spin bowling (Superb --> Proficient), which was due to the fact I played an extra spinner - a mediocre, and Fielding (mediocre -> feeble), which was due to the fact the guy I dropped had mediocre fielding.

 

[andyc]

Have made a good start here against Citizens Erased (Sriram's team), I won the toss and bowled

End of Over 32: 122-4, runrate=3.81
Drench 6-2-20-1
Grey* 33 (65 balls)
Abdul kadir 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Mitchell c. Parr b. Drench 50 (FOW: 122/4)

Canning took two early wickets and he ended with 2/38, while Erasmus has gone well so far, his 5 overs going for 14 with two maidens, and eight of those 14 runs were from the first over.

 

[brenoevo]

Won by 32 runs despite my only 2 good players, my opening bats, failing to get big scores.
College Dropouts 10/283 49.3overs
Vincent 58 (66)
Kennedy 46 (52)
Jayasuriya 40 (42)
Graham 3/46

[marc71178]

What's the points on offer for a tie?

Does fewer wickets come into play?

 

[andyc]

Ended up dismissing Citizens Erased for 203 in the 50th over.

Dunne took four, Erasmus two, while Grey's 48 off 94 was painfully slow.

 

[cricketboy29]

Dead in the water vs Boulevard Bombers. RRR 7.54 in the 3rd over

Dead in the water vs Boulevard Bombers. RRR 7.54 in the 3rd over

Only the third over though.

In my match:

End of Over 10: 63-1, runrate=6.30, reqrunrate=3.53 (203-10)
Ifill 5-0-39-1
Sutton* 29 (24 balls)
Griffin 1 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Nomvete c. Malik b. Ifill 29 (FOW: 61/1)

Pity about Nomvete getting out, he'd just hit two consecutive sixes. Hopefully the batsmen can keep their heads and get there.

Very happy with the win, cheers for the game Ash.

Chanderpaul scores his fifth century in seven innings (only failure against Rob ).
