CW Battrick Cup, season ten

[Mahindinho]

Challenged the Barbarians.

My FC season may be over by the time we play, with relegation to III beckoning

 

[Dead Badger]

Accepted. I've even compromised my 100% FC record by resting almost everyone so they'll be vaguely fit again for Sunday. Aiming to be the worst team ever to make the semis...

That said, I just looked at your bowling. Erk.

I'm the worst team to make a final

Have a realistic chance at making back to back though.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Dav has been challenged FTR.

 

[Johnners]

Challenged Clapo. But I did it at my ground, sorry. Waiting for Clapo to reject and challenge back.

Haha, woops, I accepted (hadn't yet read the thread). Not to worry though

 

[nibbs]

challenged a'dam

Connells Estates CC 270-3
Whenuapai CC 271-1
mom - Jason Duggan 151*

Haha. Hardly the walkover you were expecting. If I'd taken a couple of lucky early wickets, you'd have been in deep ****.

You got nothing on the my side that made the final.

I've got quite the reverse situation -- yesterday and this morning have given me a glimmer of hope of staying in FC II...so I'm going to bowl my best bowlers into the ground tomorrow. Then I've got an OD III crunch game (5th vs 6th) on Friday, and an absolute must win FC match next week.

In short, you're unlikely to face a full Withington side. I'll probably have to rest two of my bowlers

Don't worry...You'll still beat me no problem..My record's been **** this Cup season.

early wickets were never going to fall tbh

Pah. Don't talk crap, you know just as much as I do that these things do happen in Battrick - rightly or wrongly. Otherwise shocks would never happen.

Let me know when you're down in Wellington and I'll take you on at a real life game of something - we'll see how ****y you are then, chump.

No worries. Accepted.

 

[andruid]

Steyn out for this game

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Had a much easier win over Dav than I expected.

Central Districts: 10/209
Conn 99 (100) (Yes that's his 2nd 99 in 3 days, what a gun.)
Keane 53 (53)
Islam 3/40 (8.1)

def.

Lancashire: 10/32
Howell 12 (9)
Holt 4/6 (5)
Lambert 3/22 (7)

by 177 runs. MOTM: Conn

 

[Dead Badger]

Oleary's got me off to a great start against Withington:

End of Over 6: 36-3, runrate=6.00
Pead 3-0-22-0
Fish* 21 (13 balls)
Sandwith 6 (14 balls)
Last Wicket: Reed lbw b. Oleary 5 (FOW: 15/3)

Sandwith is a level above, though, will have to get lucky to nab him.

Edit: Gill and Marriott then rip through the middle and lower order to skittle the Wonderers for 72. Blimey. Withington's bowling is properly scary though, and it's seaming conditions...

 

[Bobisback]

Well, off to the semis.
