Playing against the bottom team in the league today, hoping for a big win to boost my NRR, since the top three are tied on points. Won the toss at home and elected to bat first despite the green deck:

Asterix XI 334-2 (50)

Cuss          145* (124)
Canoville     3 (8)
Berry         124 (147)
Gillespie     45* (28)

Not too bad, probably should have scored a little more since we were going at seven an over at the halfway stage. Sent Canoville up the order as a pinch-hitter again, failed again; will probably revert back to my regular opener for the next match.

Cuss' record now: 122, 93*, 160, 95*, 98, 150 (friendly match), 145*. Healthy average of 237.67. It will be a sad day when he finally gets out for less than 90.

Meh. Bowled them out for 213 to record an easy 121-run win, but the top two teams also had easy wins, so I'm still third because of NRR. Annoying since I beat the #1 team by nine wickets. Bowling was OK, Gillespie typically the pick of the lot with 4/29, three others with two apiece, but Owen 0/70! I think he might be dropped next week.

BTW, does anyone know how to increase the squad's fitness, apart from playing matches on 'take it easy'?

Important match today, playing against the #2 team. The winner will take the #1 or #2 spot, depending on whether or not the current #1 team wins.

Won the toss and chose to bat first at home. We ended up with 272-4, which was reasonable considering it is a green pitch, but still should have scored more given the number of wickets in hand. The shock of the day was Cuss getting out for under 90 for the first time (15) . Berry played a captain's knock, however, hitting 96 before being unfortunately run out. Barrett also batted well for 68* (69) to boost the total to a respectable level.

Just started bowling, currently got them at 23-1 after 5 overs, Berry the wicket-taker. Had a look through their batting averages, and i'm not overly confident of winning - hopefully there will be something in the pitch for me.

EDIT: My fears were unfounded, thankfully. they are currently 85-6 after 17, with only the bowlers to come, so we should manage the win...

EDIT: Hmm. Easy win, bowled them out for 107 (25.1), 165-run win. Gillespie with four top-order wickets, three for Badley, and Berry/Oddy/Holt taking one apiece. Will move up to second now, possibly first if the current #1 team loses. Doesn't look like they will though - still, it should decrease the N.R.R. gap which is keeping me in second place.
