The Original 8shes, Nails vs PB. Series 3 over.

[Torpedo10]

Nails to win the series 6-2.
PB will steal a game or two on his best pitches but the ratings advantage will prove more valuable than the variety.

which pitches?  ;)

A. Zahra 9-0-44-4, D. O'Sullivan 1 (1b), M. Nyongai 1 (1b)
End of over 44 (1 run) - The Nailers(180-8). 22 runs required from 6 overs. RR 4.09 RRR 3.67

I probably made a vital mistake through excess variety for this pitch

2 ARs and only 1 genuine strike bowler will be the reason I lose (if I lose) IMO

In hindsight should have gone 1 AR and 2 Strike bowlers. Shah would have likely ripped through PB today. Annoying, probably got me orders wrong. At least I set orders though.

[Nails]

Not taking anything from PB, but hard to see how he won that match once you look at MR.

[Torpedo10]

I see FMs as a vital part of a Crumbler lineup, if lacking it costs you. You can tell by your weak Seam ratings.

PowerBugCC won by 18 runs


0 misfields for my bowling innings. Surely that's a record. Zahra 5 wickets, he'll need that EVERY match for me to be a chance. But what a start, WooooHooooo, boo yeah baby what a win!

[AFEV]

God damn it nails I put my faith in you. :P

[PowerBug]

Did I actually just win that match? That's got to be right up there as one of my greatest ever wins.

[Nails]

God damn it nails I put my faith in you. :P

Letting him win first 2 then I win 6 straight.

Stop living in 2012. Get back to me when you beat me.

[Torpedo10]

How, I can't challenge you.  :P

[PowerBug]

Yeah you probably won' for a long time, the next 8shes match is on the 17th... :(

[Torpedo10]

I guess I'll see you in Div 2 OD next season.  ;)

[PowerBug]

ouch, that hurts. Judging by today's result I'll be fine in Div 1. ;)

[Torpedo10]

Nails isn't in your league.  :P
