Gutted - too little, too late from my bowlers.

Phew.  Managed to get my batsman on strike and he promptly sent one over the ropes.  That was alomost a savage collapse.


gg sheriff, I thought you had me most of the way through then I managed to turn it around and then almost threw it away.

[Ironside]

Cracking game.  I always did think my total looked a bit shy of the mark on that pitch.

That 4th wicket stand was the killer though - two solid batsmen there!

GG Bazza.

Ironside, Yes i am favourite in our game but dont always go on report summarrys (as Bongo will testify) I have beaten good div 5 teams when i started out and most of my team is comp. Thats why I said youve got some decent players there.

[Ironside]

i am hoping i can bring off something special i managed a win this weeks league game when the guy had better report in every area apart from seam bowling (i played 3 fasts and 2 M pacers) so i havent ruled out pulling off a surprise depends on your pitch really and if your going to let me know in advance what type your going for so i can use the opposite in my league game (this guys is going to skittle me out and post a huge total)

Flat or Green not decided yet.

My next league game is away to the top of the league team.

He has 2 very good seamers, 2 good seamers and a spinner between good and very good and yet he has chosen a dusty pitch.

Gives me a bit of a selection dilemma that does!

Very close game with newportlad today, coming down to the last over, pretty gutted to lose!

[pokerram]

If his bowling is good , Try flat with your batting line up m8

how many of his seemers are Medium pacers? medium pacers perform well on a dusty track

[Bongo]

1, his worst!

[Ironside]

Flat or Green not decided yet.

so i will be safe using my spinners in the league match then my aim is to keep the net run rate reasonable against the favourites for promotion

his top 3 players will make mince meat out of my team

 9. Kevin Payne - 20 yo, BT Rating=63,168 
LH Batsman, LM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A destructive player with respectable leadership skills and woeful experience.
 8. Jon Matthews - 21 yo, BT Rating=52,395 
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, competent batting form, proficient bowling form, invigorated
A cautious player with competent leadership skills and feeble experience.
 1. Nick Falken - 21 yo, BT Rating=40,071 
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, respectable batting form, proficient bowling form, energetic
A cautious player with proficient leadership skills and mediocre experience.

his next 3 are all better than mine after that his team is on a par with me

thinking of going for the spinners pitch as he doesnt have a good spinner

putting my top order on very defensive and hoping to see off his open bowlers

ok it still wont work but its all i can think of right now


anyone got any tips?

[pokerram]

Ironside your away arnt you on prob a green wicket. I would one of two things. use one spinner and the best of your seamers. Then either tie to get team fitness up or gfi or normal hoping he has gone tie. hope ive helped steve

[Nakor]

Ouch - That hurt today . . . . . . loads.  GG WP.

Diva if you get the chance can you accept today or tomorrow - going away to sleep in the mud midweek so would like to get my orders in. . . not that will help any.
