End of Over 50: 286-9, runrate=5.72
Tench 10-0-50-2
Nissanka* 64 (67 balls)
Rocastle 2 (5 balls)
Last Wicket: Jabulile lbw b. Rayno 0 (FOW: 283/9)

Pretty happy with that score. Again, Mukhopadhyay is my saviour. Nissanka has proven to be a good buy for me with his wicketkeeping batting, plus he is only 17 and will be trained up to be good.

Shame my tail had to collapse, I could have pressed on and made a bigger score if they hadn't.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Won the toss against a bot today and batted first:

Coco's Nuts - 390/2 (Duncan 202*, Nkosinathi 94, Faulconbridge 55; Sansome 1/82)

Should bowl them out for not much too. Good to get a chance to get both runs and wickets. Duncan's my second bat to ever reach 200. Would have backed Nkosinathi to add to his 220* from a previous season, but he's getting out to bot teams this season for some reason.

MMT two wickets down in seven balls for no runs so far

Make that 3/1 in 10 balls.

Game's finished predictably early.

MMT - 14/10 (Sansome 6; Mabudafhasi 5/8, Andre 3/5, Faulconbridge 1/0 off 1 ball)

Last Wicket: Francis Run Out 31 (FOW: 189/2)

Game slowly swinging back in my favour. God I hope my allrounder doesn't have to bowl at the death though if it's close.

And that's the end of the match. bushrangers cc won by 6 wickets.
Killers CC 286-9

End of Over 49: 287-4, runrate=5.86
Jabulile 9-0-86-0
Bullivant* 4 (4 balls)
Barlow 55 (38 balls)

Only I could lose a match from a commanding position. When their best batsmen came in (who I dismissed after a quickfire 22 everything changed. Jabulile, what sort of bowling is that!?!?
Dropped.

EDIT: Actually, that's an overreaction. I'm gunna give him and Britz a trial in Sunday's friendly and the bet bowler, combined with past perfomances, will partner Waters opening the bowling.

 

[Nate]

Was an epic match mate. Thoroughly enjoyable.

EDIT: Jake, Jabulile is on moderate fitness. What did you think was going to happen?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Yeah, Jake you need to rest some guys if you want them to perform at their best.

A few more players as back up would make it easier to do that though.

Corbishley 38 (46 balls)

Last Wicket: Pass c. Worsnop b. Stiehler 3 (FOW: 86/4)

Pretty good start. 2 seasons in league lost 4 times to them. Looking for first win against them.

Very happy.
Last 4 times they made 4/311, 8/306, 3/272 (chasing 270), 5/262 (chasing 260), 233, now 8/232

Now to chase it down.

I need some bowlers to rotate then. I've got 5 bowlers only, then some allrounders who bowl ****.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Jeez thought I was finally going to beat Manchester United CC yesty when I got them for 175, about 200 less than my previous record for bowling them out, but I got nabbed for 150. Devo.

Awesome player! Aren't most elite/elite players in the national squad?

EDIT: I see he is in the Sri Lanka squad. Gun!

I keep forgetting to write down or save my players in the nets skills before training day.

Think someone else might have popped, not sure though.

 

[Jakester1288]

Reckon I should take a net of one of my bowlers and a net off someone else to put a couple of nets on an allrounder?

I'm playing with a four-man bowling attack at the moment....desperately need new player, only got 10m though so will have to wait!

Playing against my friend at school.

Won toss and batted, good start. Need to go on with it.

[Jakester1288]

Loving this. He is bowling his opener/number 3 batsmen. I don't know why, but I'm owning him.

End of Over 33: 218-1, runrate=6.61

Newton* 89 (93 balls)

Newton and Mulvaney to ton up.

Youth pull was okay, not brilliant. Not sure whether to train him or not since I could probably buy a better one on the market, but my finances aren't too flash so may put off a new bowl trainee until next year when we should be faring better money-wise and have more nets free.

Nice centuries for Newton and Mulvaney. Perfect timing for Newton, because I was on the edge of dropping one of my openers, Newton is gunna stay and Raisani will be dropped.

Good lucky chasing that Ben!

He has a couple of his best batsmen in, need to get them out soon. Should have this in the bag, would give me good bragging rights.
