At 26.0 and having spawned at 21, he's still got two years till his peak as well. Time for him to finally score some bulk runs.

It does help he has a skill potential of 52... but the biggest thing about a player like him is he can stay in the squad until he is 32+.
But every time I see late bloomer all I think is that the is 'Faf' characteristic!

Absolutely. Feels like he's having a bit of a lean run atm tbf.At 26.0 and having spawned at 21, he's still got two years till his peak as well. Time for him to finally score some bulk runs.

ZCC will play their first ever match vs Chips Mwitu tomorrow 11:00 at Kibandaski.
A 2nd XI will take the field for ZCC as the first XI will be engaged in a CWC8 match against the Plymouth Pirates. However, what makes this game even more historic, is that it will be the farewell game for veteran allrounder and former captain Arif Jalal!
After a brief stint as a mentor at FHK, Jalal has returned to ZCC to take on the role of head curator of the Dom Dom Memorial Stadium - a ground he knows extremely well. He is grateful for the opportunity to represent -and lead- ZCC for one last time, while also getting a chance to welcome a new team into the CWC Stumped family.

AXW topple TMO now! A thriller of a game, overcoming a 4k rating gap by just 1 wicket with 4 balls to spare. AXW have only 1 win in 11 attempts vs TMO before this - in a dev friendly around 8 months ago - so this is a massive result for them.
FHK with a nervy but solid win over Jura CC, while ZCC annihilate the Pirates. A clear gap between the Top 4 and the rest of the sides at the moment.
And a tie between Winton and Charminster CC! @JOJOXI did you rig this?

It was horrible... TMOs batting did not fire. Killed any chance of getting into top 6 now. I am glad that AXW won outright, a tie would have been the worst outcome for both teams. AXW still have having an outside chance.

AAs have drastically underperformed. Only outrated by your two sides yet have losses against PPs, Winton and AX-W and a tie against AX-W also.

He's got 6 gun T20 friendly fifties and is like 30 skill at best, ffs. Has bopped more sixes this comp than Ed ****ing Halliday.
Definetly not
I wanted a Charminster CC win - Winton CC will finish last just hope Charminster CC can avoid our 2 sides rounding out the bottom 2 of league!

A comfortable win for Jalal + the ZCC U21s in the end, bowling Chips Mwitu out for just 93. We managed 242/9 in our 50 overs, thanks to 54 from Samad Khawaja and 51 (!!) extras. Amin Amin then dismantled their top order with 4/17, Naeem Ashraf mopped up the middle with 3/3 in 4 overs to go with his 30* off 27. Arif Jalal bowling out with figures of 6-1-17-1, and a final win as ZCC skipper!
Thanks for the game @andruid! Jalal has now retired into his new role as head curator of the Dom Dom Memorial CG:
The man's clearly got a gift for it. That wage bill tho, yikes!

It was quite a reality check for my boys. Onwards and upwards though

AXI announce several long-term players are leaving the club. So some eulogies.
Alex Darnell, offie, was unlucky to find himself quickly forgotten as a genuine prospect, and thus stagnated at 35–36 skill for most of his career. But he has been effective as Dev filler, often hilariously handy when he bats, and a good backup option for the senior side too. Now that he's almost 22 it's time to let him go, but given he could still get up to 40 skill he might well have a long career left. 10th all time on the club wickets list.
Prabhjeet Ram, bowling all-rounder, seems to be valued by everyone but me. He played for years as one of the Velociraptors' leading bowlers, managed to appear in 4 ODIs for India whilst I had him, but was the least important cog of our bowling attack. At 32 skill with bat, and 41 with ball, he is a very good player but we've got a clogged bowling list. His strong batting that led him to a fr. 50o average almost better than Michael Winton's will certainly be missed. 16th all time on the club wickets list. After 4.5 months, he goes.
Shawn Dee is the club's leading runscorer, but has had a poor season, not helped by touch as an Influential. With Simmonds and Zahid now occupying the two spots for defensive batsmen, he must leave. He had a terrific partnership with Simmonds for a couple of SOD seasons to help with us being out of our level at division 1, and has been a very consistent scorer. One of the last four of the original squad – it's very sad to see him depart. A surprisingly decent T20 middle-order bat, and averages 46.37 in 50 over competitives. Gun.
And Kurt Murdoch, the number 6 of endless knocks to remember. This one was the club's greatest for ages. Despite leading on appearances for AXI, he can only count the one century: in a T20 bot bash over two years ago. Instead, it's valuable 30s and 60s. He averages 31 in fr. 50o – extremely good for a hitter. An excellent fielder permanently stationed at long on. But he's 26, and all good things must come to an end. Benjamin Butler has now supplanted him well and truly, despite Murdoch's ability to, simply, win games. Oh, and I'll mention Kurt's capacity for yeeting down chaos at 148kph in the final over. It works.
They'll get a farewell against AX-W, which starts soon. Murdoch will play three more friendlies so he can reach 800 games. And Rusty Frost will bask in the glory of somehow coming into sublime form despite touch to prevent being sold. 34 skill specialist bats for the win.
