lovely ratings, my highest for a while. My season aim is to crack 85k once i think i'll get there, just.

Andries Gibbs 89 {33 (30) and 8-0-39-2}
Gakere Odhiambo 75 {38 (39) and 6-0-29-2}
Keegan Bray 74 {23 (17) and 4-1-7-1}

Was a good team performance today, no real standout. No-one made 50 in my 259, and everyone of my 6 bowlers took a wicket, and 4 took 2 wickets.

Why do you play with 6 bowlers?

The drinks cart is now making its way onto the field.

H. Ali 46 (55b) , T. Choto 41 (64b) , C. Chambers 6-0-19-1


Really need a wicket...

well my RR isnt that flash

though it has picked up a little from the first 10 overs

[PowerBug]

Why do you play with 6 bowlers?

ord/ord is enough to bowl in my side. I can usually pick up to 8 guys, which are able of bowling in my youth side. As you can tell by ratings i don't go hard on primaries, i have alot of players with better fielding etc..

In a few seasons it should all figure itself out though. :D

[CrowsFan]

Yeah but surely you could still just play 5 bowlers and then have an extra batter?

My innings has just finished...

End of over 40 (6 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(290-7) RR 7.25
R. Mashud 45 (48b) , D. Mahabir 6 (4b) , P. MacLean 8-0-70-1

Wilkinson top scored with 105 from just 69 balls. So much for finding it hard to score quickly on a slow ;)

[chrisuzz]

That ends the innings of DazBurg's Greatness. chrisuzz will have a target of 246 to chase.


  End of over 40 (3 runs) - DazBurg's Greatness(245-5) RR 6.12
M. Ismail 14 (9b) , B. Salih 3 (6b) , R. Neelakantachar 8-0-55-0


Not really liking my chances especially on a green...

Well, Odhiambo is reas/reli with ord bowling, and he bowled 6 overs. So there's why.

Gibbs, Durant, Vivian and Warakagoda/Dominiguez (Only 1 plays) are my bowlers, and the other 8 are bowled by whoever the pitch suits. Bray and Ongola both have avg bowling, and both both top 4. I find a way to share it around and still have a strong batting line-up. :)

[CrowsFan]

Fair enough then. Whatever works for you ;)

Haha yeah. I'm hoping to get it narrowed down. all of those Batters that can bowl are 19yo, so i'll be screwed next season. Only the 4 bowlers, gonna have a true part-timer bowling then. ;D

Rested a couple of players tonight. Still happy with the ratings :)

[CrowsFan]

Nice ratings after resting some players fletch :)

My game is almost over. Hoping to crack 90k tonight..

[CrowsFan]

Won by 87 runs, bowling them out for 203 in the 39th over after posting 7 for 290 in my innings.

Man of the Match
3. Jimmy Wilkinson - 105 runs from 69 balls.
2. Brett Sawle - 3 for 40 from 8 overs.
1. Rory Sloane - 73 runs from 68 balls opening the batting.

Funnily enough even though I am a Bermudan assistant those 3 players are all South African ::)

Well I certainly cracked the 90k mark tonight :D
Plus with BP causing another upset over the best team (HP beat him last week) I am now top of the table. Playing against him next week so hopefully I can make it 3 upsets in a row! He rated just under 97k tonight so I have a chance. By the way the top 3 in this youth league currently are myself, then HP, then BP, all with 4 wins and 1 loss! I beat HP, HP beat BP and BP beat me!  :)
