Yeah he just didn't fit in to my plans at the time. You have the rarest form of bowler there too ;)

Yep I just noticed them since I had gone out to get some dinner. Stupid Gul >:(

Luckily Sawle just made the breakthrough :)
16.4   W   Sawle to Selk : [catch] A lofted drive goes straight into the hands of mid-off. Farrell takes the catch comfortably and that's the end for Selk. He is quite unhappy with himself.
D. Selk c A. Farrell b. B. Sawle 56 (59b 5x4 1x6) SR:94.92

And Jafferjee gets one the next over :)

Williamson dropped again though!!
18.6   .   Sawle to Williamson : [dropped] In the air straight to mid-on and Raymer drops a simple chance.
The only positive side I can see is he will be even more tired when he has to bowl later!...

[JBs-Hawks]

What would be the best way to improve NRR, need to imrpove my NRR to win my youth league. Im out ranking everyone just have a large gap to bridge.

Personally, i like to Bat first on Flats and just kill them. Or you can bowl first on Stickies and roll them for 50 aswell. Then chase down quickly. Both are good options.

Next week is the top of the table clash on a green pitch so I need to take as NRR of him as I can he rates about 70k and I'm at 77k I also can go in with 5 quicks or 4 quicks one spinner. Should I bowl first?

I think that's the only reason why i got him, coz he was a LWS. wouldn't have bothered otherwise.

I'll let you know once my match finishes ;)

Williamson has been dropped again, making 4 missed opportunities against him! He has been dropped on 18, 26 and 45, plus got away with being stumped on 21. Currently on 55 so this just sucks! >:(

As I write that Raymer finally gets him :)
30.5   W   Raymer to Williamson : [stumped] Oh dear, a rank long hop from Raymer and Williamson charges gleefully, but he has missed it completely. Gul accepts the gift and neatly taps the bails off and there is pandemonium. High fives all round. Raymer grins sheepishly, that deserved to be sent over the boundary, not a wicket!
K. Williamson st I. Gul b. S. Raymer 55 (80b 3x4 0x6) SR:68.75

if its on a green stick with your 4 mediums and which ever is better between your F/M or spinner and i would bowl first, but i cant see you making up the NRR it is a very big gap

5 dropped catches and a missed stumping let them score more than they should have. Need a good start with the bat to chase that down against HP's spin attack!! :-\

not looking good CF.

[CrowsFan]

Not looking good at all PB. Wilkinson went from being on 17 from just 9 balls to getting out on 29 from 50 balls. So he managed to score just 12 runs from his next 41 balls!! >:(

I really don't think I have a chance any more, which sucks considering how easy I had it last week in the same conditions...

Hammering Barlow atm...

[CrowsFan]

Succumbed to a disappointing 15 run loss in a chase where I never really had control. Limped my way to 7 for 193 in response to HP's 6 for 208.

Man of the Match
3. Imran Gul - they may say he is man of the match due to his 74 runs from 82 balls and a catch and a stumping, but I say he lost it for me. Twice he missed out on getting Williamson out, first dropping him on 18 then missing a stumping when he was on 21. Williamson went on to make 55! He also dropped Yousef late on.
2. Alex Seabrook - 3 for 32 from 8 overs for HP plus a catch.
1. Darrin Selk - 56 runs from 59 balls for HP.

Disappointed with the result, but good game HP. Looks like you will be the one promoting to div 1 now. Good luck up there ;)

Yea I need to hope that someone takes over one of the computer teams and upsets him. But other than that il just apply as much pressure as possible
