Battrick FC 4/12

[divaflava]

159-2 for my reserves at lunch, playing at home against the bottom of the league(a Newbie team put in div v). Bit of a test of the squad to see if they can get max bonus points but I expect them to manage it ok.

[Bazzaboy]

I'm playing the league leaders today, however they have left out their 2 best batsmen and only bat to 6.  My batting line up is pretty poor though so I'm not getting my hopes up.  I have however made a good start.  Just need a wicket or two to get into the tail and hopefully pick up max bowling points.

End of Over 35 (1 runs). Harefield: 116-3, runrate=3.31 
Wardley 8-1-24-0
Lowe* 13 (17 balls)
Summerscales 58 (108 balls)
 
Last Wicket: Sabir c. Harris b. Talamini 6 (FOW: 84/3)
 

[Bongo]

End of Over 35 (2 runs). Conclave Clusters: 54-4, runrate=1.54

Playing a newbie team at home, hope to bowl them out, hit 360 and bowl them out again by around lunch tomorrow.

Seems I got £70k for the 1st day, which is very nice!

[booder]

109-1 at lunch batting first.   slow and steady,slow and steady

[Bazzaboy]

Good first session,baaaaaaaaaad second session.  Running out of time to get the bowling points.   

The players are off the field for tea.

[Bazzaboy]

Finished the day 71/1.  Hopefully he doesn't change his bowling order and I get to face another 18overs or so against his worst two bowlers tomorrow, as his spinner is likely to rip my batting lineup to pieces.

[Ironside]

bowled him out in last over of day

so i get maximium bowling points

he got 303

[Nakor]

I just don't get this game some days, but i love it.

I am playing by far this best team in my division, and after some good performances in the past few weeks I fancied my chances to get a draw.  I have 9 of my best 11 playing, all sublime, a bowlers pitch.  I log on this morning to find my opponents in a desperate PFL state which explains there recent poor form.

Despite all this they manage to race too 357/4 - Rudi then performs some magic to see them 379/9 at close so I might make the draw and 3 days play, but considering PFL and looking at his past weeks scores and performances I thought I should win this game, but now I expect him to bowl me cheaply tomorrow if he performs to the same standard.

Home vs a BOT. 40k in gate receipts

Only played 2 out of my usual top 6... scored 407-3 dec in 65 overs and have them 73-5 after 45 overs!

going for the 3 day win this time!

[KeithyB]

Bit of a nightmare first day away against a bot.

Admittedly I have been tinkering with lineup recently to improve certain players form but still enough quality there to win easily and all with sublime fitness.

However the bot with their lineup of fresh fitness and worthless form players scraped together 150 and then reduced my lineup to 133-5.   

So big day today, one top batter still in but nil chance of maximum batting points with the long tail of the team.
