Restricted Bongo to 314/3  off his 50 overs, in reply i am doing better than i thought i would and am currently 185/3 off of 35. Req run rate is now 8.31 and going up but i've got a good little partnership going with haynes on 99 go on son even if i lose at least me and my batsman has got our first 100

First 100 now HAVE A SWING we need runs

[pokerdave69]

Finally fell for 137 Well played that man but all in vain as was bowled out the last ball of my innings for 287 which resulted in a 27 run defeat never mind well payed chaps against a more experienced side

[Bongo]

I thought 314 was a restriction considering it was an out and out batting pitch, I would have been a lot happier if it had been a lot closer to 350. It looked touch and go at some stages.

I'd set my opening bowlers to very attacking as an experiment, I'm not quite sure what to make of it though - one went for very few runs and got no wickets, the other got hit round the park but picked up 8 wickets on the way 

[Bazzaboy]

I had another thumping win by 187 runs.  Think I have the makings of a decent side.


Just realised that was against Yogi's side!  I'm KBOTW

Onto the Cup:

Teams(blonde/BT user/BT Team - if you're logged into battrick the link will take you to the team page):

Me / Bongo / Bigglesthwaite CC
Pokerdave/ BigDave74 / Pokerallstars
Booder / Booder / norfolkngood
Bazzaboy / Bazzzzzaaa / KBOTW
pokerram / sjeeves / ramshire
Newportlad / Newportlad / St Woolos Old Boys
Wardonkey / Wardonkey / Ruswarp Ponies
Yogi-Bear / Yogi-Bear / Jellystone Parkers
wolf306 / wolf306 / wolvescentral
Cossieboy / The Cossie Crusaders

Can everyone check that they are on the list and I have their team details correct? Bazzaboy - I can't find any reference to your team name on here.

As there are 9, I propose we allow my friend to join to make up the numbers, I got him to join around the time I made this thread so it should all be pretty even.

Proposed format - 2 groups of 5, 4 points for win, 2 for tie, 0 for loss, NRR used to separate teams with equal points. Each group will be randomly drawn.

Top 2 from each group qualify for semis. 1st in group A v 2nd in Group B, 1st in Group B v 2nd in Group A. (Group winners get home game).

Games starting this Sunday using the weekly friendly slot.

Fixtures (1 is 1st out of hat, 2 is 2nd etc).

wk 1:
1 v 2
3 v 4

wk2:
2 v 3
4 v 5

wk3:
3 v 5
4 v 1

wk 4:
2 v 4
5 v 1

wk5:
1 v 3
5 v 2

Think that's ok, teams sitting out each week (1 from each group) can play each other in a friendly for a laugh and so everyone will have a game each week.

Other options would be 3 groups of 3, but that only guarantees each person 2 games, instead of the 5 with the 2 groups.

Rules:
Team drawn at home to challenge the away team, pitch prepared to home teams choosing.

If no one disagrees, and we have no last minute entries tomorrow I will draw the names out of the hat and post here so we can all get our games sorted for next week.

Nice one bongo all seems fine to me and all my details are correct. Dave

Nice one,
