'Roach is always a liability when he's fielding on the boundary. He's just got himself another pint of bitter from the crowd.'

 

he doesn't go for a late night pedal-lo as well by any chance?

He made 75 in 67 balls before being dismissed unluckily, I'll let him off.

If it was lager, I'd sack him.

[Sheriff Fatman]

End of Over 25: 127-3, runrate=5.08, reqrunrate=7.88 (323-7)

Reasonably confident.

End of Over 28: 142-3, runrate=5.07, reqrunrate=7.41 (304-9)

Your scenario looks very similar to mine, except I'm chasing the runs in my game!

[Bongo]

End of Over 28: 133-2, runrate=4.75, reqrunrate=8.73 (324-4)

My most expensive (in run terms) bowler having only 1 over left, it's looking good!

[Wardonkey]

End of Over 30: 148-4, runrate=4.93, reqrunrate=8.80 (323-7)

Looking good, my dodgy seamer bowled his overs and my 2 best bowlers still have 5 overs each left to bowl. Still 5 overs to come from my proficient wicketkeeper/abmysmal medium pacer to come.

[Ironside]

oakway is an all rounder
barry doesnt know which way to hold a bat

games over for me even though they have 3 really weak bowlers my batsmen couldnt see off there openers and my tail cant take advantage

[Bongo]

7. Rocky Oatway (1172351)
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, proficient batting form, strong bowling form, changeable
A steady player with woeful leadership skills and abysmal experience.


A more experienced player would farm the strike...

[Nakor]

Alas nil points for the Magicians.

I am guessing that about my only chance for a point all season.

Oh well the pressure is off I guess

[Ironside]

even my most experienced players aint much better

most are in the 2nd season

[Sheriff Fatman]

This is an indication of what I'm up against this season.  I had this down as one of my easier fixtures as Stumblers don't have the same strength in depth as some of the other squads but, based on today's starting 11's, this shows the difference in BT rating of the two sides.

The other two teams who have come up are of a similar standard to me (ie. they don't have the 20k plus players like the other teams so realistically I need 4 wins from those games to finish 3rd from bottom and hope to get a favourable play-off game.

TIE all games and GFI the ones against weaker sides Sheriff - then look forward to the blonde cup games!

getting a bit worried now - with 15 overs to go the target is nearly down to under 100 and havent taken a wicket in ages, they've nearly made 100 partnership for 6th wicket

[Wardonkey]

Good luck Curtis!

You could TIE when you know your beat and target the weaker teams with GFIs.

[Sheriff Fatman]

That's exactly what I'm planning!

Nailbiter....

[Bazzaboy]

Utterly abject batting display (152 all out) sees me lose a must win game
