Stumped!

Won the game by comfortable margin, meaning that I've now somehow managed to win 11 games in a row, including two in a row against cnerd teams rated better than mine. Some luck that.

In other news, I've sent out some more friendly requests. If people don't want to play friendlies against me with such frequency, please let me know and I'll stop inundating you. :) If the opposite occurs, send me more requests of course. I've tried to schedule them at a time that is good for me and the recipient.

Need to put out my best XIs against you moving forward!

The batting for FHK's next gen is still a bit soft. Tail started from around 5 in that lineup. That's the thing with stumped - ratings often don't reflect the true quality of the team, got to find ways to maximise the output from all the players.
 
In today’s DEV match:

Moooo was up against Frogmorton CC, a team higher up in the table than us. A look at the relative ratings between the teams saw the Frogs with a 33K rating to a 27K by us.

They batted first and amassed 186 all out. A 15-year old that I bought from the market was the pick of the bowlers for Moooo, he took 3 for 39 off 8 overs. Gulshan Giridhar, Andrew Short, and Matthew Bedwell all picked up 2 wickets a piece.

In reply, we lost Tauseef Nasar cheaply, but Richard Tipping and Michael Winton added a 50+ partnership for the second wicket that set the foundation for the chase. Tipping made a run a ball 46, Winton with 32(31), Jigar Chengelpet 34(44) & a smashing 35*(18) from Lee Homer saw us reached the target in the 33rd over.

A good win that.

Haha pretty pleased with how this has been received. Awesome stuff.

Good your first 2 SOD games on the 20th are against Zimbabwean teams - no idea how you'd have 'travelled' to your next opponent otherwise ?
Considering SOD games are 5hrs, they might well overlap, lol.
Also intrigued how you do against The Clay - they've recently signed Steve Kendall and Charles Linley for me and lead the bidding for my young seamer Sankait
I'll be fielding a weakened side, but looking briefly at those transfers it may not be too weakened...

Right now playing a DEV match vs @Marcuss' team, am in a bit of a pit at 64-5 half way through my innings.

As good an excuse as any for the batsman if they collapse in their first match on the 20th!

Have just sent Marcuss a friendly request myself now seems like a competitive game there, close in Expert Preview and Murdoch holding all the cards potentially.
 
So we've managed to pick up a wicket..., an excellent move by the skipper Camp to bring back fast bowler Dryden to attack the new batsman Raun Shkorer

ZCC fielding a U23 side vs Moo. Perhaps still a bit too strong. Lavanya bowled excellent, 4/46 in 10.

FHK going full strength vs Ataraxia later today. No mercy.
