Title: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 04, 2008, 12:05:19 PM Playing a vastly superior side, who's only downside is that he's useless with PFL. However its going to be a bloody tough game ( he has 6 players 40k+ rated)
So I'm on defensive orders, and praying to last nd of Over 26 (4 runs). Staples015: 86-2, runrate=3.31 Packer 4-0-20-1 Mpho* 37 (70 balls) Goodhead 12 (18 balls) Last Wicket: Ashieq b. Packer 29 (FOW: 65/2) not too bad a start Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: vegaslover on March 04, 2008, 12:22:39 PM I'm at home against a player with 60k rated players in his team.
Have set all my bats to very defensive. Need some money..lol Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 04, 2008, 12:40:57 PM GREAT 1st session
End of Over 35 (1 runs). Staples015: 129-2, runrate=3.69 Mott 7-0-30-0 Mpho* 51 (85 balls) Goodhead 37 (57 balls) Last Wicket: Ashieq b. Packer 29 (FOW: 65/2) well happy with that! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bongo on March 04, 2008, 01:33:32 PM Tough match for me, green pitch with nasty weather, getting worse tomorrow though!
I'm batting: End of Over 46 (3 runs). Bigglesthwaite CC: 98-2, runrate=2.13 My best and 4th best bats still in with 2nd and 3rd still to come. Hopefully pick up the pace a little, would like to be getting close to 300 at the end of the day! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: booder on March 04, 2008, 01:45:27 PM 326-1 2nd (me) v 3rd should be enough to top the league
Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 04, 2008, 03:00:26 PM Just lost 2 quick wickets in succession, now 209-4. Brings in my best batter at no 6. His 55k spinner is doing ok, 3-39 from 16 lol
There's a lot riding on these 2, got a comp/worthless batter in next, then the tail. Still scored many more than I expected already!! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on March 04, 2008, 03:31:36 PM I'm up against a better side so my main aim is to try and salvage a draw.
End of Over 77 (4 runs). Alfie Allstars: 251-3, runrate=3.26 Talamini 12-1-46-1 Christopher* 72 (131 balls) Mohammed 60 (94 balls) Last Wicket: Shilton lbw b. Talamini 73 (FOW: 149/3) Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bongo on March 04, 2008, 03:35:32 PM It was all going well until I went to post here. I blame Asa!
Just lost 2 in 2 balls... End of Over 74 (Maiden). Bigglesthwaite CC: 228-6, runrate=3.08 2nd best bat still in... Phone rang while posting so: End of Over 78 (Maiden). Bigglesthwaite CC: 242-6, runrate=3.10 Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 04, 2008, 04:14:25 PM It was all going well until I went to post here. I blame Asa! Just lost 2 in 2 balls... End of Over 74 (Maiden). Bigglesthwaite CC: 228-6, runrate=3.08 2nd best bat still in... Phone rang while posting so: End of Over 78 (Maiden). Bigglesthwaite CC: 242-6, runrate=3.10 Fine blame me :p currently 276-5 so that should be 3 batting points locked up. However my star bat is out for the 1st time in FC this season. Just means his average will be about 350ish :) After these 2 is one woeful and 3 worthless batters. And to be honest, I'm amazed I've got this many. Think the 2nd innings ( when I get there) will be much tougher against a 55k rated spinner on a dusty pitch! End of Over 91 (1 runs). Staples015: 280-6, runrate=3.08 Packer 18-4-52-1 Hickey* 11 (17 balls) Ravenhill 0 (6 balls) Last Wicket: Duke c. Packer b. Mott 35 (FOW: 279/6) 3 batting points now got, but lost my only batter. If I get to 300 I'll be amazed!! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bongo on March 04, 2008, 04:27:01 PM 9 wickets down now, but Disley just hit his ton, so quite happy.
8 runs away from a 3rd batting point now! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bongo on March 04, 2008, 04:55:27 PM I made it!
Have just taken an early wicket too - one of his 30k rated bats... out for 6 in the 3rd over - GET IN! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 04, 2008, 05:06:51 PM 298 AO stretched into the 104th over so fairly happy
Now to nick one of his 40k rated openers out before the close! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on March 04, 2008, 05:35:41 PM I'm a bit disappointed not to have taken more wickets. I've got sunny weather tomorrow for my batsmen and need them to make the most of it.
End of Over 110 (5 runs). Alfie Allstars: 376-4, runrate=3.42 Capp 28-4-94-0 Christopher* 125 (224 balls) Adikari 57 (76 balls) Last Wicket: Mohammed st. Tau b. Talamini 72 (FOW: 285/4) Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: kingjon on March 04, 2008, 08:05:10 PM up against a very evenly matched side - and i could really do with the win since i've got to play 1st twice in a row next! Currently managed to bat 550-4 dec. and he's replied with 8-0.
i'd probably be happy with a draw, especially as im playing with a very weakened team, so im hoping my bowlers don't leak too quickly! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: vegaslover on March 04, 2008, 09:15:28 PM I got an early wicket before they steasmrollered to 360-1 dec.
Hanging on at 70 odd for 4, but my best bat is in on 37not Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: divaflava on March 05, 2008, 12:43:35 AM 1st (me)vs 2nd. Am 43-0 after bowling them out for 354. Hoping to make 410 or so tomorrow at about 4.3 an over to get at them with 15 or so overs left in the day. But, to nehonest, anything over 360 likely means a winning draw and protects my lead.
Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bongo on March 05, 2008, 11:41:07 AM End of Over 32 (Maiden). M.J.B.: 93-10, runrate=2.91
Trail by 191 runs. (Bigglesthwaite CC 284-10) Makes me glad I enforced the follow on on the off chance! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on March 05, 2008, 01:41:15 PM I had an awful start (40-3) but I managed to put a decent partnership together, however I've just lost a wicket. I bat to 8 so heres hoping I can muster some batting points.
End of Over 48 (8 runs). KBOTW: 157-4, runrate=3.27 Trail by 219 runs. (Alfie Allstars 376-4 dec) Mackay 9-0-30-0 Tau* 73 (100 balls) Conelly 1 (4 balls) Last Wicket: Edgerley-harris Run Out 42 (FOW: 141/4) Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on March 05, 2008, 05:41:32 PM From 40-3 to....
End of Over 110 (Maiden). KBOTW: 370-6, runrate=3.36 Trail by 6 runs. (Alfie Allstars 376-4 dec) Donnelly 23-3-74-0 Tonderai* 39 (80 balls) Capp 74 (134 balls) Last Wicket: Tau b. Howell 149 (FOW: 277/6) Nice contribution from my trainee making his debut to ensure max batting points. I may now employ the devious tactic of getting my batsmen to bowl so they declare "too early" and I have enough overs left to knock off the runs for the victory. Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bongo on March 05, 2008, 05:46:58 PM End of Over 2 (Maiden). Bigglesthwaite CC: 5-0, runrate=2.50 (1st Inn: 284-10)
Trail by 115 runs. (M.J.B. 93-10 & 311-10) In a great position to chase down the win. Weather improves slightly tomorrow too! Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: divaflava on March 05, 2008, 06:12:55 PM Looks like a draw at worst. Made 474-7dec. Bit slow tho' and only got three overs in. Now 110 ahead, they have all 10 2nd Inns wickets remaining.
Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 05, 2008, 11:29:14 PM As expected, with my WOEFUL bowling line up I've put out, their 40k rated batters smashed me all over the park
514-3 dec so a bonus bowling point 30-1 in my 2nd innings, need less than 200 more to make them bat again. Hopefully we can bat the day out to get a bloody well deserved draw. The important game is the same opponents playing 4th place next week, and I have a BOT. Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: vegaslover on March 06, 2008, 12:38:59 AM lost by an innings AGAIN, can't wait to be relegated
Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bongo on March 06, 2008, 01:14:07 PM I'm out and about at the minute and can't seem to get battrick to work on my phone... Any chance someone could give me an update, please?
Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: divaflava on March 06, 2008, 02:08:21 PM I'm out and about at the minute and can't seem to get battrick to work on my phone... Any chance someone could give me an update, please? I somehow skittled them out for 124 and won! Oh, you mean YOUR team... will go and have a look ;) ...Bigglesthwaite CC won by 5 wickets :D Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: pokerram on March 06, 2008, 03:59:38 PM won by 5 wkts bongo m8
Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bazzaboy on March 06, 2008, 04:10:35 PM My match is heading for a draw, which I'd have taken at the outset. Now I've got back to back games with the best side in the league by far to look forward to.
Title: Re: battrick 04/03 FC games Post by: Bongo on March 06, 2008, 04:45:56 PM Ty guys... no idea how I skittled them for so little in the first innings. Not going to complain though!
