I've started a separate sign up thread for the Cup in case anyone misses this.  All those who confirmed on this list have been added already.

GG Friday Bongo.

Tiredness was a killer for me it seems the 2000 odd runs scored in the previous 3 games finally took its toll.

Good luck getting up this season.

Think the guy paying 15mill is mad and will be going busto soon.

It was a good game Nakor - I was saved by Clarke I think!

Sweet. Beat 1st in FC today so now go top by 3 points!

[vegaslover]

Had a typical ridic battrick loss today. Typical batting collapse and then after getting him 13-3 he takes my attack apart with an average batting lineup.

[Ironside]

fml i am out the 20/20 was 100% up till yesterday when i lost a game via a closely matched team and them lost another close match today

[vegaslover]

I've finished 2nd in mine this season

[Bongo]

I missed out on qualification when I lost by 6 runs chasing - while only losing 1 wicket.

Fatigue hits are really odd - I had one guy drop to energetic, but it turned out it was a bug and he's back to Sublime, thus I've played most of my first team for the week (all rounder has been resting, he's not back to sublime yet!)

[matt674]

The mid point of the season and i cant really complain - i won my First Class league before a ball was bowled, but then it was division 6 after being in an impossible division 5 last year.........

For my One Day League my plan was to try and win promotion within 3 seasons - this is season 3. I'm not the best team in the division but cannot complain with the start. Especially with my 200+ win against the leagues best team - i think however he didnt take my challenge seriously and fielded a weakened team so its going to be an interesting couple of weeks with my first two games being against 3rd then 2nd the following week. If i lose to 2nd but keep the game close then i should go on to win the division on run rate, however i feel that this will mean that i will end up having to play a play-off game to win promotion so i want to try and win the league undefeated to prepare for a season in the leagues 4th tier

3.   Unknown Pleasures     7      4    0    3     16      6.13

Didnt really think i'd qualify for the next round of the BT20/20 being just the third best team in the division and after we both lost to the best team in the league it was a do or die game againts the second best team in the league. With 4 overs to go needing 62 runs to win and only scoring 10 off the first of the 4 overs i didnt hold out much hope with my number 4 and 6 batsmen in. 17 off the 3rd last over, 17 off the penultimate over set up a grandstand finish needing 18 off the last over. 14 off the first 5 balls meant my number 6 had to hit a boundry off the last ball to win.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So far so good with one game to go i should qualify for the knockout at the end of the season - hopefully the second half of the season will be as rewarding as the first

OD IV is tough!!

[matt674]

OD IV is tough!!

Thats my worry

[Bongo]

I think one of my bowlers had quite a lot of shredded wheat this morning:

Foot 3-2-1-8

Against a human side!

Also managed to get an exquisite rating for my top order!
