With the way the match engine works - you will win now :)

Spinkings got me today. I felt confident with the total I had set, not to be. :( Not much I can say about the loss really, well done Spink. Weird game, very high scoring for a Slow.

Well went down to valk today by 7 runs. Disappointing since I didn't set the orders and the player change I would have made from the default squad would have been swapping out my RFS with a RFM (of equal skill) since it was an uneven pitch with overcast weather. The RFS that played went for 63 runs from his 8 overs, by far the most expensive bowler from both teams :(

Oh well. Good game valk. Got HP up next week on a flat, so that will be tough as upsets can always happen on flats...

Had a damn good game against ZZ yesterday. Almost held him off but he came home strong and got the win. Batting 2nd on the flat certainly worked out for him well, and went down to the wire :-X.

I hate Flats, so not sure how I'll go :P. Also think majority of my first team are promoting up by the time we play, so you should have an easy win :(. EOS updates next Saturday will screw me for the Youth Comp haha.

Was watching your game with zz hoping you could get up :(

Well depends wen ash gets around to doing the updates, they often don't occur until Sunday, which in that case you will have your strongest squad ;)

Here's hoping, that way it'll be a more competitive match for you to watch as well ;).

[Justin Bieber]

You guys called it :P.

The upcoming end of season updates will happen on Sunday, FTP time, probably commencing at around 03:00 and taking around 3 hours.

Already lost to HP at the toss. Very rarely do you see a side defend a total set on a flat pitch when there isn't a massive difference in ratings :(

Woo :D. Set orders before I left for work today, so set to bowl first as a Flat. My only hope cause my orders leave alot to be desired.

Hopefully it's a close one as will look up later after I do an online test.

[CrowsFan]

Well you made it a contest HP, only going down by 21 runs in the end. Just be glad you played me before you lost the 19 year olds ;)

[Justin Bieber]

Well played CF :P. You guys piled it on in the end of your innings, and my guys fell behind too early so couldn't make it up second half of the innings. My openers stayed in but couldn't score fast enough....

Now I only have 1 19 y.o in my squad, so my ratings gonna take a HUGE hit haha, so very lucky indeed :-X.
