Innings sums up my side perfectly. No middle or lower order to speak of.
That said, I should have enough with the ball to finish this.

Damn you, Watkins!
274 is just too much to chase against an elite/elite attack, esp. with Sandwith going for just 4 runs. My previous best against Adam is 184/10.

Well, the lads kept up with the rate, but just couldn't keep their wickets intact.
Asterix XI 274-6
Withington Wonderers 171-10
Arse. Another year, another season, another early exit from the CW Cup
Ratings 176 for me, 255 for him, IIRC. Crushing.

Not quite as easy as your first post displayed by implied expectation.
One decent batsman who could have anchored my innings could have won it for me, but the best team won in the end.

Hmm, considering I was smashing you at that time, and I deliberately said "at the moment", I'm not sure what the hell your point is. I never expected an easy game, in fact, with my PFL issues I didn't expect to make much more than 200 really. Shame your good bowler could only get **** batsman out, eh.

Jeez. You don't 'arf take offence at nothing, pal.
I was pointing out that the 'best team won', yet you manage to read between the lines and take some insult from it. Well, that's just bloody pointless isn't it.

You're the one who posted a snide remark in relation to a statement which was perfectly reasonable at the time, not me.
HeathDavisSpeed

Perfectly reasonable to you maybe. The erroneous apostrophe makes it wholly unacceptable, mind.
Anyway, by 'implied expectation' I didn't actually mean that you meant to be slating my team, just that by implication the same occurs.
You are reading far too much into something which isn't there. The only time I recall making a snide remark was after nibbs said that it was pointless even turning out to play my team and I only lost by a considerably smaller margin than that would suggest. I certainly wasn't subtle that time.

QUARTER FINAL DRAW
Boggles V Anchormen
Jaffna Jets V Magical Ponies

Alternative XI V Asterix XI
Sorry Alters, I can assure you the draw was entirely fair and random! - Look on the bright side though, at least you've got a future as a Psychic!
If anyone can see past Adam for the title, then I'd say the only other possible winners play each other in the Boggles/Anchormen quarter - Which I think Pete will edge. Adam's bowling is apocalyptically scary, but in comparative terms at least, I don't think his batting is as all-conquering as once it was. From the bits of the match I saw yesterday, Asterix didn't bat like an Esq/Esq line-up. I thought a H+F was a smart move on Mahindinho's part, though what little chance he had of victory was scuppered by the cloudy and humid weather. However, in an Asterix/Anchormen final, with the bowlers blunted by a H+F, Shaw/Bhutia/Gray might just be enough to get Rob over the line in a slog-fest - (Having said that, it could also get extremely ugly if Rob were to lose early wickets!) Yet all that could be academic, because, as above, I tip boggles to sneak past Anchormen, which would probably for the good of continued interest in the Cup.
In the other two matches, I'll go for Jaffna and Four Pillars by narrow margins, owing to the Jeithoon factor and Smith's crud middle order respectively.

16th time lucky.

I had most of my bowlers set pretty defensively, as I didn't think I was going to bowl him out. Sandwith's abject failure really scuppered me -- Mulryne, Reed and Fish did their jobs, but my senior batsman has had a very poor season by his exquisite standards.
I'll return next season with three exceptional+ batsmen and two wonderfuls. That should halt the collapses, at least.

How did i know that. First time making the quarters, so pertty happy with that.
Now f00lins, just hoping that he just doesn't accept my challenge.

My batting lineup is ridiculously long, but that doesn't count for much in BT. Have listed Ali, hopefully will have either a gun batsman or another allrounder within a week or two. Wouldn't be particularly surprised to get knocked out in the semis or whatever, have had greater upsets this season.
Anyway, quite enjoyed the match against Mahindinho, first one I've actually watched in a while. Looked a bit grim before Watkins cut loose around the 30 over mark.
Good luck with that. Been trying to 'halt the collapses' for 10 seasons, yet to find anything that works.Mahindinho said:

Hahaha damn... you've got these fixtures:
Jaffna Jets V Magical Ponies
Four Pillars and Poor Fillers V central Districts
Then Pete and I have to play each other. Pfft. Easy roads to the final are no fun.
Just challenged Pete. I don't think I am going to win this one. Maybe if I had full PFL, but I am really struggling at the moment, especially bowling wise-
Mulholland (lively)
Mullis (lively)
Mcmillan (invigorated)
Dyke (moderate)
Appleyard (fresh)
