I'm playing a team I have never beaten before, although I came close last season when I hit 333 on TIE!
My team has improved a lot since then though, and theirs hasn't. Their PFL is also shot, so hoping for a nice win.
Started well, my £1.8m bowler has taken his first wicket for me, and they are 16-1 from 5.

I have put out an abomination of a side today against the league leaders due to PFL problems. I put in a series of bids for crap bowlers last night before I went to bed but incredibly I was outbid on all but one of them so I have batsmen bowling. I hoped to win the toss and bat and get it over quickly but they are batting and I'm fearful of the score they will make.

Put out a weakened, but fairly fit, side and told them to take it easy. However I'm playing a bot........so about to bat now needing 14 to win!  |

End of Over 20: 73-4, runrate=3.65
Zia 5-1-11-2
Floors* 0 (4 balls)
Cartwright 28 (41 balls)
very happy with that so off to bed for a couple of hours
its a seamers pitch so hopefully get him out for about 130-150 with my all seam attack
then its down to my batsmen who should be able to bat long enough to score the runs

They made 348-2. Probably a 300+ run defeat for me.

I put the batsman I bought for £500k a few weeks back up for sale at a speculative £1million. I have a bid on him...
So now I need a new batsman too!

It's getting to the point now where I wish my opponent scored a few more runs so both my bats could get a ton, it looks highly likely now that one will get there with the other on 95+ not out!  |
