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

[PY]

Quality stuff.

All we have to do now is wait for the shocks to roll in.

I won't be able to compile all the information until like Monday morning (11am GMT) (as I'm away from approx. 2.30pm tomorrow for 2 days) so will have to wait until then for the league tables and stuff unless someone else fancies doing it which I doubt.

I look forward to reading all the in-game comments in here.

 

[33/3from3.3]

Mine was confirmed a few days ago PY. Paddy (threes) mentioned that he was going to school camp, hasn't logged in to BT since the 26th but was apparently on CW yesterday, so not sure what's going on there.

and i got back on the 1st
Im ready for you Dave

Am currently being hammered by Got Spin here, with Saunders especially going nuts


End of Over 41: 241-1, runrate=5.88
Heard 6-0-21-0
Saunders* 58 (33 balls)
Makel 109 (119 balls)
Last Wicket: Keeley c. Birchall b. Giles 56 (FOW: 131/1)

I was going well till Dunne (0/74) and Drench (0/56) came back on to bowl and gave away 81 runs in overs 30-40.

 

[Robertinho]

Getting ripped apart by PY. 1/62 after 15 overs, Mcmillan 30*, Houlihan 26, Gray 3*. Houlihan, the hero against Adam, struggled.

Ah well, it's a dusty pitch so I expect Mills to wreak havoc

 

[superkingdave]

looks like Bushpigs - Scaly Piscine is going to be a close finish - Piscine 160-2 off 32 chasing 294 to win

[Adamc]

Looks like Bushpigs are about to pull off a minor upset, Ponies still have a slight chance against got spin (need 64 off 40 with 5 wickets in hand), while the College Dropouts openers are still coasting at 7 an over. Boggles v Robertihno should be the match of the round, looks pretty even so far.

Looking forward to my match against Marc later on, hopefully my batting lineup will be able to survive without Cuss. Pollock will be playing his farewell match (transfer deadline is 30 minutes after the start).

 

[andyc]

Wow!

With 8 runs needed off the last over against Got Spin, I got a single off the last ball to win, after he'd got 2/320,

Edit:

Got Spin 2/320
Makel 138 (136), Saunders 88* (57), Keeley 56 (98), Ridgewell 19* (13)
Heard 1/53, Giles 1/61 (Dunne 0/74!)

Magical Ponies 6/321
Griffin 89 (104), Nomvete 83* (83), Sutton 43 (69), Canning 40 (24)
Boardman 2/50, Pilgrim 2/71 (Morgan 0/83!)

Canning's first decent score for the team, although I was a bit upset he didn't take any wickets

Magical Ponies Got Spin
Top Order: competent respectable
Middle Order: feeble mediocre
Lower Order: abysmal woeful
Seam Bowling: mediocre mediocre
Spin Bowling: mediocre useless
Fielding: woeful woeful
MOTM: Griffin

College Dropouts End of Over 34: 227-0, runrate=6.68
Kadir 5-0-33-0
Kennedy* 110 (105 balls)
Jayasuriya 107 (100 balls)

Hopefully can push the score onto 350 cause my bowlers suck.

 

[Robertinho]

Robertinho Select XI 8/284 from 50.0
Gray 127* (107)
Mcmillan 48 (78)
Wolfenden 32 (48)
Liyanage 1/21 (10.0)

Gah. I should've put Gray in earlier, I realise now. Probably could've made 300+ if he'd batted longer. Still, he saved us Everyone batting excruciatingly slow, though Westhead chipped in with a quick 17 (6).

Really need Mills to bowl well. Not expecting to win from here, I expect his Strong & Prof bats to dominate
