Torp V JB - The Rivalry

How It Started

JB and I both started FTP within a month of each other. Just like Nails & PB, we have decided to have our own series every season. We have taken different paths and we have arrived at similar ratings. Now we see who will be victorious! Since JB leads our current H2H if it's 4-4 JB takes it out.

Hot/Crumbling JBs-Hawks won by 4 wickets
Overcast/Dry JBs-Hawks won by 4 wickets
Hot/Hard Torpedo's Titans won by 3 wickets
Windy/Slow Torpedo's Titans won by 5 runs
Windy/Flat Torpedo's Titans won by 7 wickets

:o Copycats! Do both you guys rate similar? Maybe we should schedule some of our matches at the same time, so there's two to follow. :o

JB rates high 180s. I rate low 180s. Well 2 matches are currently organized. Will probably slowly round them out and make this last until January or so.

shieeeeeeet, don't take it too slowly lol. :P

We'll see, I wanna make this last. :) Plus I want something to do over the Summer holidays. :P

And the 1ST MATCH of the 8shes between JB & I is about to start! It's on a Crumbling/Hot. Will probably be one of my weakest pitches, we'll see how this goes!

Ongola has called tails correctly and has decided to bowl. Torpedo's Titans will start their innings shortly.

I did not want to bat first. :-X

Quite happy with my progress here.

I did stack my lower order but didnt want Cowley in yet :(

PowerBug · November 28, 2013, 08:53:27 PM

Do you always open the batting with McDonagh JB? Certainly paid off for you today. :) On these sorts of pitches, I like to go one further and chuck my finisher at 8. Not over with yet, especially with another bat to come.

Amazed that Torp's spinners haven't taken a single wicket yet!

Ohanga was my top scorer and he has average batting ;) Really need a collapse, my orders have been set up for bowling first but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Gotta give JB some hope.

PowerBug · November 28, 2013, 09:12:37 PM

*spams special collapse button which is only available to me*

PowerBug · November 28, 2013, 09:24:34 PM

38.4 W Ohanga to Rioli : [catch] Ohanga has struck. It was a loopy flighted delivery around the off stump and Rioli didn't get to the pitch of the ball and he edged his attempted cover drive to first slip.C. Rioli c D. Taylor b. H. Ohanga 52 (92b 2x4 0x6) SR:56.52

Give Torp two more before JB get's to 175 then I can say it worked. :P

Nup, not your day Torp. :(
