Nope, because he is a flowerwit :P

[Barlow 21]

Thursday Game *Golden C vs Patels-Rockstars*
Will be a tight game with the differential in ratings going to be under 10k. My bowlers have the advantage over Patels but whoever wins the toss, should win the game.
Match Ratings Prediction: Patels-Rockstars 183 vs Golden C 176
Prediction: Patels-Rockstars by 1 wicket.

Brilliant round up BP :D. BTW, I lost the toss, I always elect to bowl on a dry ;)

Fletch is looking to cap of a win here for the Devils!
End of over 43 (9 runs) - Pompei Cricket club(216-6). 70 runs required from 7 overs. RR 5.02 RRR 10.00
B. Thundyil 64 (76b) , M. Holmes 4 (7b) , K. Martin 7-0-49-1

I'm not happy with my 1 run win though >:(

Barlow summed up my game to here quite well. I was going along ok, the next over the RRR was 10.50, but then I got angry >:( They scored 39 off the next 3 overs, and only needed 17 off the last 2 overs, 11 off the last over, and 2 off the last ball, but I was lucky to get a wicket that ball :)

I should have won by a lot more...

Happy with the ratings. Happy that my $30k investment in Roy got me 83* and a MOTM, but I should have won by more...

I obviously need work on my tactics. 2 weeks in a row, where I've been higher in ratings, but only won by 1 run...

I will IGM you Shaggy for some assistance re next weeks match on the green pitch.

Nice write up BP as per usual. Honestly never expected much from my game and whatever hope I did have was gone after just 3 balls when I had lost 2 wickets!!
Playing Pompei Cricket Club next week so hoping I can bounce back and get a win there. Going by the ratings we both just got it should be extremely close since I got 140,326 and he got    140,863. Unfortunately the green pitch slightly disadvantages my spinners, but fortunately the FTP gods were kind to me and made the weather windy so that will negate the disadvantage they got from the pitch :)

[Fletch74]

That's who I played CF ;) He got 148k the week before on a Crumbling, so don't know why his ratings dropped. He almost knocked me off.

Good luck ;)

[CrowsFan]

Thanks Fletch, hopefully I can do alright.
Good luck with your match too ;)

Wow, great ratings by Barlow, shame your orders are crap though for the start of your bowling innings. Bowling out Lever put you in a terrible position.. But a massive upset win.

[Boomz]

Nice win ;)

Pretty clear what most of the captains are going to say in regards to the game that wasn't arranged... Helps them all if it's a draw lol

[roo boys!]

Wow Barlow, but I still refuse to praise you ;)

[bomberboy0618]

nice write up bp, spec of my game :D

[Boomz]

Looking forward to my match tomorrow... Should be good don't like my chances though.

That's funny, I don't like my chances either...TIE!

[Boomz]

lol that would be better than a loss :P

The ppl from the gladiators (not the ones off here ;) ) are idiots... When they think they have a chance of getting the points they r happy as soon as its the other way around they call for it to be organised another day ::)

[Justin Bieber]

What's this about the Gladiators? I don't check their forums often so wouldn't know....
