He's playing a lone hand now

W Garrity to De beer
Thin edge and gone. Great take by Nosworth, diving to his left!
and gone.

It's over now.

32.1 . Grewcock to Bennie
BONK! Oh dear, it's hit the poor guy square in the head. No time to duck that one!

 

[Kweek]

36.1 W Hearn to Bennie
What a catch! Bennie attempts to sweep and gets a big edge. Nosworth must have dived 10 feet to get a glove on that... one for the DVD I think.

 

[Kweek]

37.1 W Garrity to Andre
Through the gate! Takes off stump out of the ground - no doubt about that one.

My bowlers are just going from bad to worse, Marc on track for 280+ now.

End of Over 37: 172-2, runrate=4.65
Badley 9-0-27-1
Verde* 48 (78 balls)
Hohsinuddin 56 (87 balls)

Really fed up with my bowlers now, all of them are proficient+ and are getting bashed around by a couple of competents (albeit with good secondaries). Looks like I'm going down today, Marc's bowling is stronger than his batting judging by ratings, and my batting is ordinary without Cuss.

End of Over 50: 261-4, runrate=5.22
Malik 10-0-55-0
Verde* 85 (114 balls)
Ranatunga 43 (35 balls)

My bowlers suck. Good batting from Marc's lot though.

Really need Wynand or Hera or both to fire today, otherwise I'm headed for a loss.

My guys will commit suicide after this performance

Verde's mediocre, but on the verge of popping - far and away my best YP from last year, just need to find the best role for him.

Well you've pretty much won now, Hera's my only remaining decent batsman. The next three are respectables with no stamina and after that a proficient, but judging by the 'performance' of my players today even Cuss probably would've made a duck. Congrats on the win, I'll try to work out what the hell's wrong with my players.

End of Over 18: 106-0, runrate=5.89, reqrunrate=1.38 (149-10)

End of Over 11: 58-0, runrate=5.27, reqrunrate=6.23 (300-2)
Singh 6-0-25-0
Carrington* 18 (36 balls)
Aldred 36 (31 balls)

A solid start, but we need to catch up to the RRR and from there have a platform to finish the chase, come the 40th over.

I wouldn't be so sure - my weak link is Lynch and he's already given 10 in 1 over.

 

[superkingdave]

Satisfied with my performance.made 325-3, Lawrence and Abdul Kadir made tons. Bowled Drunk XI out for 62, Islam 5-19. Should do my RR some good

 

[Jamee999]

End of Over 25: 130-2, runrate=5.20, reqrunrate=6.84 (300-2)
Hamed 6-0-34-2
Carrington* 46 (69 balls)
Devapriya 9 (4 balls)

Very interestingly placed, Devapriya can destroy, even with a "steady" rating, and his career average and SR are both over 100, while Carrington's anchoring the innings very well.

170 needed.

 

[roseboy64]

End of Over 7: 48-0, runrate=6.86
Oneil 4-0-20-0
Wellens* 24 (23 balls)
Patterson 22 (20 balls)

Doing pretty well there. Decided to put some guys who weren't getting some batting opportunities in the middle order to open and they're doing well. Patterson opened last season for me so that's no surprise.

 

[Adamc]

I wouldn't be so sure - my weak link is Lynch and he's already given 10 in 1 over.

Those two wickets seal it if you had any doubts, congrats on the win again. My batting lineup is pathetic at the moment, bowlers are hardly any better. Hopefully there'll be someone decent on the transfer market in the next week or two so I can replace some of these guys.
