[Dead Badger]

Boringest FC day ever thus far. Runs at about 2 an over, 4 wickets. GET ON WITH IT! Commentary is on the mark, though, although it omits a crucial "n":

44.1	.	Pead to Louis
 	 	Beats the bat as he went for the cut.

Tiatto 8-0-19-0

Better going than last week, he foolishly weakened his bowling

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

VITSTL.

Not really, I just want a few more English people in my side. They're a bit thin on the ground and the ones I have are pretty crap anyway!

 

[Nate]

Haha Spits, awesome trainee.

Thanks mate, I'm pretty stoked

 

[headhunter]

6 wickets need for victory in the morning.

 

[pasag]

My first FC win in over a season, though it took being demoted to happen. Have never had a proper FC match, have either thrashed or been thrashed, nothing in the middle.

Rematch turns a dead certain loss into a draw

 

[cameeel]

End of Over 33: 147-0, runrate=4.45
Serrant	7-0-39-0
Khulelaphi*	76 (101 balls)
Causon	70 (97 balls)

Very steady so far, but I'm a bit worried about the run rate. The addition of Knight has strengthened my bowling attack, but on this pitch 250 is probably only a par score. Very happy with the performance of Causon though, 19 year old Proficient/Proficient Batting/Bowling, and this is the first time I've opened, replacing Brydon at the top of the order to strengthen the bowling line up.

End of Over 47: 256-6, runrate=5.45
Varney 9-0-51-2
Torrence* 94 (88 balls)
Harewood 0 (1 balls)

If anyone wants to buy a Phenomenal bowler, give me a yell...

Hate this game.

 

[Adamc]

Your fault for buying a defensive phenomenal bowler really. I sold Downer for the same reason.

Wouldnt care if he was economical, but nope. **** is getting smashed about.

Fair knock from Elmes:

End of Over 50: 308-5, runrate=6.16
Dumisani 10-1-52-0
Falk* 6 (4 balls)
Elmes 175 (128 balls)
Last Wicket: Walsh Run Out 42 (FOW: 301/5)

Last time we played Kolari, Elmes made 176 and the time before that 166*, lol.

Don't bowl him at the death then. Not that complicated FFS.

gagfc.

No idea why i had him bowling at the death, was supposed to have sets of 5.

 

[Bobisback]

End of Over 16: 66-3, runrate=4.13, reqrunrate=6.47 (285-7)
Mcgreal	3-0-13-2
Beaumont*	0 (1 balls)
Brinkhuys	0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Wilkinson b. Mcgreal 41 (FOW: 66/3)

Well, at least i have actual bats in now, need them both to make 50's one of them get a tonne.

Wilkinson's 41, greatest OD league debut innings ever?

Alot better than his cup debut anyway (0(1))

 

[Bobisback]

19.3 	W	Mcgreal to Beaumont
 	 	That's a beautiful hit down to fine leg, they should take a single here. Beaumont wants to come back for two, his partner says let's go. OH NO, IT'S A RUNOUT, Morrell claims a direct hit! And no runs will be given as the first run was short!

Go and get ****ed you stupid ****ing game. My bowlers, who are so much better than his take nothing and get smashed about, and his ****ing ****s go for no runs and take my best bats. Such a ****ing **** game.

Going to go on to the bugs board, make up some **** and get this week replayed.
