Nice win there for the Jets, lets keep this up. I don't opening the bowling TBH Sean, it gives me more overs then i would get bowling 1st or 2nd change. 3rd 10 fer this season, can't complain on a personal note. Hopefully i can continue this form in the OD tommorow

BTW Thamba you caught 3 and dropped 3, just saving you the time of looking into the BB files.

 

[33/3from3.3]

12 wickets for the me

Chris Dwyer is my friend irl and I'm pretty sure his sign up sheet had him as an offspinner. But even so, I'm glad he did well. Hope he can get a game in the Dev league soon.

 

[Burpey]

... and when Stephen Burke gave a return catch to Watt for 10 they were staring down the barrel ... but once again Burke deserted them early, and they closed on 55 for 3 - well short.

Thanks Hakon. Makes me feel a whole lot better

I have him in my database as an offspinner too, who can bat quite a bit.

 

[Bobisback]

Whoa, two matches two 70's..thats pretty cool, though i have a few newby questions

How often are grade matches played?

And

Because my name is first in our bowling lineup, does that mean i open? If so, i think thats why we are losing, an allrounder Off Spinner opening the bowling LOL

But anyway, i hope i step up to the Dev. League soon

Hey Bobisback, welcome to CW, haven't really noticed you around. I have to tell you though that a certain legend of this site went under the nickname of Bob, so you may hear that a bit.

1. Grade matches are played everyday, but you may not play if you are playing for the Reds that day.

2. All Professional players (Dev League Players) are set as main bowlers, so if you have no other DL Seamers in your side you will open the bowling.

Is that all right Hakon/David?

Watt/Kennett does it again.

Stedingham Jets v Davistow Darters @ Jets Arena

Stedingham:	Davistow:
Wallis		Dawlat
Deodhar		+McDonagh
Prabhakar Rao	Naik
Chaudhari	Ehsan
Hogarth		Langley
Kalmar		Comley
+Gaukroger	Warwick
Gillespie	Murdoch
Loganathan	Cassidy
Javed		Pradeep
Bala		Waheed

After batting first and amassing 343, despite the best efforts of Warwick, Comley and Langley, Stedingham then managed to hold Davistow to 276 when fielding. Dawlat hit 113 at a whirlwind pace, but Kalmar chipped away, and good fielding caused three run-outs and few misfields.

Stedingham Jets 343-8 (50 ovs)
Davistow Darters 276 (45.4 ovs)
Jets one bonus point

Nixonstown Foxes v Gofftown Tigers @ CW Oval

Nixonstown:	Gofftown:
Prestwidge	Courtis
Fensome		Thampi
Eccles		Mohammad
Adhikari	+Vaughan
+Gray		Dwyer
Grierson	Nash
Sanjeet		Jamaluddin
Flanaghan	Kipling
Tushar		Swann
Riaz		Thomas
Gundry		Masterman

Jamee Gray's thundering 128 led the Foxes to a respectable total of 328 for 8 at the CW Oval, and though the Tigers looked on course to chase it after 127 from Mohammad Mahmood, their tail crumbled to the spin of Sanjeet and Gundry. Sanjeet, who had conceded 27 in his first three overs, came back to bowl three successive wicket maidens at the death and ensure a win for the Foxes.

Nixonstown Foxes 328-8 (50 ovs) beat
Gofftown Tigers 286 (47.3 ovs) by 42 runs
Foxes one bonus point

Pickford Panthers v Edfield Seahawks @ Pickford Reserve

Pickford:	Edfield:
Richings	Barnaby
Bhattacharjee	+Mørk
+Hepworth	Herbert
Jacob		James
Benjamin	Satish Kumar
Chopra		G Nayak
Trafford	Galbraith
****erill	Whitehead
Bhadauria	MS Smith
Pickup		Shoveller
Roberts		Derick

A total of 409 for 9 was always going to be too much, as Edfield held a pie feast at Pickford. None of Pickford's high-valued bowling attack had any effect, and Nick Barnaby was allowed to hit 166 off 112 balls. With a huge target, Pickford self-destructed, and barely made 150.

Edfield Seahawks 409-9 (50 ovs) beat
Pickford Panthers 178 (36.1 ovs) by 231 runs
Edfield four bonus points

Campsfield Braves v Greater Robbham de Grooters @ Camps Field

Campsfield:	Greater Robbham:
DP Smith	Lucas
Dubb-Lynch	Tariq
Blackman	Sukhvinder
Hasabnis	Tebbut
Langdon		Palmer
McEwan		MR Smith
Gooljar		Broadbridge
Jahangir	Finnegan
+Harvey		Buxton
Jadeja		+Jervis
RSJ Das		Pardhasaradhi

Beamer Smith recorded a quadruple wicket maiden in the 49th over, but half-centuries from Daniel Smith and Alex Blackman along with a patient 101 from Darren Dubb-Lynch had already done the damage. Campsfield got a total of 365 for 9, huge by any stretch, and though Beamer impressed with an unbeaten 84 Das took five wickets at the other end. Thus, de Grooters were bowled out for 284, and lost their good one-day record.

Campsfield Braves 365-9 (50 ovs) beat
Greater Robbham de Grooters 284 (45.3 ovs) by 81 runs
Campsfield two bonus points

Garven Island Sharks v Twybridge Titans @ Clowich Stadium

Garven Island:	Twybridge:
Fitzsimmons	Joslin
Hanbury		+Burke
Jones		Gunn
Shaukhat	Bokey
+Monaghan	Amresh Kumar
Tariq		Buttsworth
Gregory		Naidu
Richards	Hale
Teague		White
Bristow		Cotterill
Stuart		Dolphin

Another huge score on display at Twybridge, with the batsmen being in total control. In reply, Garven Island were in with a chance until the introduction of Buttsworth, and though Monaghan hit 126 it was largely consolation runs for the Sharks.

Twybridge Titans 415-7 (50 ovs) beat
Garven Island Sharks 345 (46.5 ovs) by 70 runs
Twybridge one bonus point

What say ye? Shall we continue with Neil's sim? I keep tweaking and tweaking and just get sillier results by the day...

Edit: A quick note: These were the games simmed from Monday's team sheets. Tuesday's games will come whenever I'm finished with them (probably tomorrow before 4pm GMT)

 

[chaminda_00]

Wasn't a day for chasing, i think Neil's sim needs some more work...
