Title: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on February 26, 2008, 10:08:04 PM hows the 1st day gone for everyone??
Mine's simply gone awesomely!! 5th vs 4th vs a bloke with a fairly decent strength team, this and our game later in the season probably relegation deciders On his green pitch, won the toss and batted 1st, amassed 451-5dec. Put in my strongest bats in at 5 & 6 hoping that my 1st 4 would see off the openers, at 138-4 it was game on, a 313 run partnership, with my star batter getting 171no, then have them 19-1 by the close. Early wickets will be crucial as again he has a strong top of the order. Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Ironside on February 26, 2008, 10:20:09 PM put all my batsmen on very attacking
batted for 109.3 overs and he bowled me out for 500+ going to bowl him out in the morning then bat for rest of day so i can get the extra days gate Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Bongo on February 26, 2008, 10:21:49 PM I'm bot bashing, have a bot on friday too and all my team well rested, so put some first teamers in to get experience.
Bowled them out cheap (foot got 6 wickets) and then scored 600+ to finish the day (2 best bats both ~250no). Declaring over night and will bowl them out quick tomorrow, get 2 days receipts though! Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on February 26, 2008, 10:39:39 PM I'm playing a weak side (I actually thought they were a bot) and managed to end up 435-2. I've got a pretty weak bowling lineup out but have given myself plenty of time to get the wickets.
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: divaflava on February 27, 2008, 12:23:14 AM easy game vs promoted team, so far pretty easy.
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: vegaslover on February 27, 2008, 01:46:29 AM My teams going downhill fast.
They declared on 380-3,then bowled me out for 40 - WTF Am currently following on. Am away so glad it will be over in two days Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on February 27, 2008, 02:06:54 PM Thinking wrongly that my opponent was a bot is looking like it could prove to be costly as my weak bowling line up is having big problems taking wickets!!
End of Over 52 (15 runs). Skuwber Squad: 168-2, runrate=3.23 Trail by 268 runs. (KBOTW 436-2 dec) Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Bongo on February 27, 2008, 02:10:06 PM I won easily as expected - other bowling picking up a 5 for this time!
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Ironside on February 27, 2008, 05:07:43 PM for some unknown reason my team forced the follow on FFS never ends
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on February 27, 2008, 05:53:20 PM My negligence looks like costing me 7 or 8 valuable points :(. They finished the day on 371-6 so almost certainly going to be a draw.
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on February 27, 2008, 07:36:48 PM 451-5 dec, they annoyingly made 310AO, after being 230-7. My missetting of my 6th part time bowler cocked that up as he went for 63 from 10 overs.
I'm 80-3 in reply, 221 ahead, with a humid and cloudy day tomorrow, looking at setting about 330. Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Newportlad on February 27, 2008, 07:39:26 PM I played the 2nd place team in a top of the table battle.
Bowled them out for 76. Scored 365-4 dec, and then bowled them out again. All over in 2 days. Im yet to drop a bonus point with my 2nd team out, and dont now expect to, unless i put out a very weakened team. Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: vegaslover on February 28, 2008, 12:58:37 AM I managed to score 42 in the 2nd innings, only had 1 decent batter playing, and it showed
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: divaflava on February 28, 2008, 01:09:56 PM 907-4 dec. Yarwood got 3, so I bet his cat is sore today
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on February 28, 2008, 07:28:22 PM A costly draw for me. I set them a target of 270 from 59overs and I had them at 57-4 but they managed to put a partnership together and hung on for a draw.
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: Nakor on February 28, 2008, 08:25:49 PM A Win - forgotten what it feels like.
Title: Re: battrick 26/02 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on February 29, 2008, 12:24:44 AM I drew. left them chasing 320 from 80 overs, they were 220-5 with me well on top, needing an unbroken partnership from tea to avoid defeat. Annoyed that my better seamers managed 39 overs with just the 1 wicket, and that a mistake I made for the orders on day 2 cost me 60 runs, a follow on, and more likely a win!
