Opening bat, Keeper and All Rounder stuck on ordinary form for today's match. So the risk is being taken, and Paul Aronstam has been dropped for the match, and taking his place is veteran George Tonge. As for the other two, I'm trying to hide them as much as possible, so they are batting and 6 and 8, and Mukund has many defensive overs. :\

Playing a side that rates around 225k aswell, gonna be a very very interesting match I reckon, I believe that my team is good enough to pull off another upset win. :D

The fact an exp/accom gets a run in your team is a joke.

You shouldn't worry too much about form PB. Even my backup is spec/spec

You need to get rid of Tonge. You can't have exp/accom in div 1. Exp/Accom won't even get you to promote in Div 3 regardless of power.

I don't think there's anything sexier in FTP than an opening batsman batting through the innings and setting your team up for victory with a century. Granted he hasn't batted through the innings yet, but that is a sexy score where he has set the team up.

Oh man, he got out 27 seconds before I managed to post that.

Is it only me or do plays nearly always get out JUST after they reach 50 or 100? zzz

Nope, my players always do the same. >:(

Get back to me when you make Division 1. ;) Nah I've only kept him through this far is to play T20 (Div 3), and I rest a different batsman each week there. :) He hasn't played a SOD yet this season, and I wasn't planning on playing him, but I think he should be in over Aronstam this match. I suppose we'll find out soon enough. :P

You like to pay out my team (You're not alone), however I seem to keep producing the results when it matters. :) I don't have solid depth, but I have replacements ready to take over when the players get too old. :) (E.g. Aronstam has slowly replaced Tonge in the first XI)

How about One Dayers? I think i've had 5 200's.
I think it would be a good time to bring up this again.

HAHA! pls, nothing will beat the might of Hamza Salah!!


A hattrick for Salah!
That is 5 wickets for Salah!
19.6   W   Salah to Amsterdam : Short of a good length delivery on the stumps, Amsterdam makes room and takes a swing. The ball clips the top edge and balloons up to mid-on.
K. Amsterdam c M. Druery b. H. Salah 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
19.5   W   Salah to Harvey : Harvey signals to the bowler that he is going to put the next ball over his head. Salah smiles before charging in and knocking middle stump out the ground.
C. Harvey b. H. Salah 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
19.4   W   Salah to O'Brien : [catch] Slower ball outside the off stump, O'Brien doesn't get the required elevation to clear the man inside the circle and holes out to Ngilu at mid-off. It's a combination of smart bowling and poor batting.
D. O'Brien c S. Ngilu b. H. Salah 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
19.4   nb1 W   Salah to Cox : A huge mix up there and Richardson is well short of his ground.
D. Richardson run out (S. Ngilu) 48 (26b 7x4 0x6) SR:184.62
19.3   W   Salah to Devenish-Meares : [catch] Who said you had to bowl good balls to get wickets? Salah slipped in his delivery, and the ball lost all its pace there. Devenish-Meares had time to have a cup of tea before he hit that, but still managed to pick out Ngilu, who was the only man inside the circle on the onside. That was a comedy of errors all round.
L. Devenish-Meares c S. Ngilu b. H. Salah 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
19.2   .   Salah to Devenish-Meares : Played along the ground straight to Barry at midwicket. No run.
19.1   W   Salah to Hussain : Got him! Salah with some sublime bowling as he uses his advantage coming across the batsman to draw the edge and Lawson snapped it up behind the stumps.
M. Hussain c D. Lawson b. H. Salah 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR:66.67

Well I chased down todays total in 10 overs and my youth national squad member picked up a wicket which is great.

(Humid/Slow)
Hitting the choke button on Q. Mupariwa bowled his 7 overs straight off for 20, lovely. Zahra is 2 overs for 7, was hoping he'd get a wicket. Kuhlengisa (rfm) is the key here, played him over another spinner, and he needs to keep the runs down. Liking this so far, I always have very good first 25 overs, then it starts to fall apart. :\

3 wicket over from the almighty Austin Powers and PB is on the verge of being humiliated.

15.6WDonaghy to Watson : [catch] On the back foot, Watson pokes at the ball outside off stump. Out, and I doubt we'll see a worse shot than that today.S. Watson c J. Hunzvi b. D. Donaghy 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR:66.67
