Playing Nails on a Windy/Dry. I should get destroyed as I have no ARs and my spinners are mediocre compared to Nails'. Also my batters perform worse than my bowlers that I chuck at the top of the order for lolz... ::)

Finished on 200/8. Butt the best of the batsmen with 43* off 35. Merlin Nyongai with 5/33 off 10.

I introduced spin after 7 overs, it makes the breakthrough first ball. :)

Golly gosh, I got so close to an upset. :( Was in a spot of bother here:
End of over 33 (2 runs) - The Nailers(135-3). 66 runs required from 17 overs. RR 4.09 RRR 3.88
A. Bouchard 58 (104b), A. Gogler 23 (52b), W. Campbell 9-1-39-1

But then four quick wickets and with the tail exposed the game was right back in my favour. Especially with at this point the RRR went above the RR for the first time in the innings!

End of over 37 (2 runs) - The Nailers(148-7). 53 runs required from 13 overs. RR 4.00 RRR 4.08
M. Nyongai 1 (3b), K. Bulinya 2 (4b), P. John 7-0-29-1

Then Nyongai fell for two, but Bulinya the finisher was scoring freely against Oldfield, however I felt that Austin at the other end could do something. Oldfield made the breakthrough of Shah after being left with one ball at him after going 62.41 in that over already. Then Bulinya led it to victory for Nails. :(

End of over 49 (4 runs) - The Nailers(201-9) RR 4.10
K. Bulinya 53 (62b), D. O'Sullivan 0 (1b), B. Austin 10-1-28-2

When you look at where I outrate Nails, the gap is much bigger than the result ended up being, so in the end it was alright, but I thought I had the win. :(

ftp down for anyone?

[Nige]

ftp down for anyone?

Came here to ask.

It's a yes from me.

[PowerBug]

just add a /forums to the ftp site and take a read of the problem. There's some error and it's all on ash's hands now. The game stopped in the middle of the night, all matches didn't process and the countries invovled didn't get their YP.

I have a feeling this is going to result in a week off and everything will resume next week, but we'll see.

[CrowsFan]

Hmm interesting. I went to log on since I wanted to change a player for the nat match tonight, hopefully can get on before it starts. That's if they don't delay it of course...

[chrisuzz]

hopefully they just move the tour forward a week but keep everything else the same, would hhelp me out a tonne!

[Torpedo10]

This isn't good....I don't want to wait another week for EOS.  :(

[JBs-Hawks]

Apache error is gone but cant login  :-\

edit: Site maintenance; Ash must be online.

[JBs-Hawks]

Well its back.

No training updates but nat matches underway.

[chrisuzz]

Back up now

Far out in a youth comp for the best youth teams in FTP, Fastmann took 5 fa 24 then backed it up in the chase making 50 not out off 60 balls 8)
