[8-6 Suited]

So totally, it will be a good day with some big matches. Alex has Frankston XI at home on a flat pitch. Shall be interesting to see how that match goes. Can GS continue his bullshower streak against FF'ers or is Alex the man to end it? Time will tell.

I take on Hellions CC, a top 200 ranked side that rates about 180k, 10k more than my current highest rating... Also somehow on a flat pitch. Blah. I am so dead, I hate flat pitches. lol Starts at 8:00FTP. So 7pm guys. Will be a ripper to watch regardless.

I played korza last night in our Youth match.

Fletch's No Balls won by 5 wickets with 5 overs to spare on a Slow wicket. Bit of a surprise!!

Axis of Ignorance Fletch's No Balls

Not happy with the ratings... :( Considering my training this week, I was expecting > 86k, but it may have something to do with the Slow wicket...

Sitting at the top now 2 games clear of 3rd place. If I win the next 2 games, I might start selling off some of my youths...

Although last wicket partnership produced 46!!   >:( >:( >:(

[CrowsFan]

Nice stuff fletch. You have started off your batting quite well too, haven't lost a wicket but you do need to start increasing that run rate.

Managed to organise a youth friendly today against some random who rates 20k less than me on a hard pitch. Hoping to bat first so I can put out a huge score :)

Edit: and as I write this you go and score 9 from the over. Nice job!

[Fletch74]

Damn, slower ball talents!!

Hilly has got 2 wickets now with it >:(

14.2 W Salah to Rowley : [Slower Ball] Rowley plays way too early and is bowled.
J. Rowley b. H. Salah 9 (9b 1x4 0x6) SR:100.00

[Fletch74]

End of over 15 (3 runs) - Fletch's No Balls(65-3). 121 runs required from 35 overs. RR 4.33 RRR 3.46

[Cicjose]

[Fletch74]

23.4 W Salah to Boag : Huge lbw appeal by Salah... and up goes the finger! Boag is shaking his head in disagreement, but the umpire continues to give him the finger and insists he take a walk.
D. Boag lbw b. H. Salah 6 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR:54.55

Salah killing me... He also made 19 in the last wicket partnership >:( Now 6/88 :'(

[8-6 Suited]

Salah is killing you Fletch.


End of over 24 (2 runs) - Fletch's No Balls(88-6). 98 runs required from 26 overs. RR 3.67 RRR 3.77
S. Breman 0 (2b) , H. Crawford 18 (40b) , H. Salah 7-0-24-4


Will be difficult to continue on from here.

[Fletch74]

In all strife here... Salah ended up with 6 wickets!!

End of over 32 (1 run) - Fletch's No Balls(121-8). 65 runs required from 18 overs. RR 3.78 RRR 3.61
W. Siggs 0 (4b) , H. Crawford 40 (72b) , R. Ring 6-0-26-2

Crawford, I put you up on the TM today, you better give me something to remember you by... :)

[CrowsFan]

Looks difficult from here Fletch, but if Crawford stays in anything can happen!

End of over 39 (3 runs) - Fletch's No Balls(138-8). 48 runs required from 11 overs. RR 3.54 RRR 4.36

39.5 W Ring to Crawford : [runout] Inspired! Genius from Salah who somehow throws the ball at the wicket while tumbling after collecting a drive from Crawford at mid-on. Not only did he manage to throw the ball, but he ran out Crawford brilliantly by about a yard.
H. Crawford run out (H. Salah) 50 (100b 4x4 0x6) SR:50.00

Hilly's won now!! Green wickets are not my favourite. Good win Hilly ;)

[CrowsFan]

[8-6 Suited]

Salah for man of the match by a long way.
