Wish I could buy that Gem (Brett Lee) I'd take him to like outs fielding, then excep/excep bowl tech then except power (or better)

by which time he'd have like spec exp and outs captaincy  :'(

>:D >:D >:D >:D 80k! Got there on the halfway mark, really liking my side now. Had a 7 wicket win over Neiklot's affiliate. Arnostam 75* and Laghari with 64* off 62. Chased down the 186 easily on the Humid/Dry. Only iccup was when i was 2/9.

don't think i have enough runs

End of over 40 (4 runs) - Cicjose(243-3) RR 6.08

don't like that score on a crumbler

[CrowsFan]

How can you not like 243 on a crumbling pitch cic? Anything more than 4 runs an over on a crumbling pitch is good!!

Well it's a hot/crumbling so hot = takes away a bit of the bowler bonus....

And he was right not to like that total, he's in trouble:

    End of over 11 (2 runs) - Koo Wee Krew(74-1). 170 runs required from 29 overs. RR 6.73 RRR 5.86
N. Addison 10 (16b) , W. Souter 45 (38b) , J. Thompson 2-0-15-0

Won my match tonight by 51 runs. Batted first and posted 5 for 230 on an uneven pitch. No standout batsmen, with no one making 50, but 5 players scored 30+. In return bowled them out with an over to go for 179 :)

Man of the Match
3. Steve Raymer - 4 for 18 from 8 overs
2. Auhert Beattie - 3 for 37 from 8 overs, plus 33 not out from 24 balls
1. His guy...

So close to 100k, should get there next week! :D

Even with that win I drop down from 1st place to be replaced by HP on NRR, the top 3 at the halfway point are HP, myself then BP all with 6 wins and 1 loss. In other news I feel very sorry for Snowtop Hammerheads. Easily the best rating team in our league (has had the highest ratings every week), he started the season off well with 3 wins from 3, but then has managed to lose the last 4. First against the three of us (HP, me and BP), and then tonight he lost after conceding 35 runs from the last 2 overs (including 23 from the second last) even though he out rated the opponent 101,118 to 82,612!!! :o

Well hot should actually help him. The other teams batters would already be more tired than usual after being in the field for the first 40 overs. Then his spin bowlers would get a boost from the heat... But yes he does look in trouble so far :-\

[Cicjose]

i had my BH opener on D and my other opener on Neutral i think i should have gone with an Attacking opener......

i feel like this total is going to be short by about 30 runs

despite that i have 3 spinners bowling in this one so hopefully it helps me

halfway through he is 22 runs ahead but i was 2 wickets better off

i should have won this comfortably my 3rd upset loss this season from all forms

they were ahead of the rate from the 4th over of the game and

my second seamer was shocking with my 3 spinners not closing the gap :(

Decided to put Brayshaw up on the market. Bid away :)

The Young Nailers vs. The older Clyde Cougars

End of over 4 (5 runs) - The Nailers(13-0) RR 3.25
R. Simon 8 (12b) , H. McDonald 5 (12b) , E. Black 2-1-5-0

Solid start for The Nailers. 2 great fieldings that over though ::)

[Nails]

4.6   W   Jones to McDonald : [catch] Jones gets some unexpected bounce and the ball takes a thick outside edge to Gayle at gully, who takes it cleanly, gives the ball a clean and puts it in his pocket....cheeky blighter!
H. McDonald c C. Gayle b. B. Jones 7 (18b 0x4 0x6) SR:38.89
4.6   wd   Jones to McDonald : Well wide of off stump.

I hate when that bullshower happens, bowls a wide so he gets an extra delivery to take a wicket ::) ::) ::)

Sicco came back from the tour and that basically ended all argument. Cusack gorged on another 123 runs, Meyer backed him up with 74*. Sicco took 4/17

18 runs off the last 3 overs, things are beginning to look up. Need 6rpo from here on out
