Nah you'll be right.

Pretty devo with my Playoff really, though I really don't deserve to be in Div.II Australia I could've been there with abit of luck. Had them 5/38 and they ended up making 236. One wicket at that stage and I was into the second tier.

Balls, there goes Janes. I was sailing along nicely, but that's going to seriously limit my score; Boardley's not going to last long against these ~~star destroyers~~ bowlers.

End of Over 34: 158-3, runrate=4.65
Boyce 7-0-28-2
Platt* 38 (52 balls)
Boardley 0 (2 balls)
Last Wicket: Janes b. Boyce 36 (FOW: 158/3)

Preview: Yep, he's already gone, along with my chances.

Gutting. Who says the tail never wags in Battrick, eh?

Withington recovering decently, by the looks of things...

Edit: Oops. Sorry Mahindinho. I knew I should've kept shtum.

DAMN YOU!

186/5. I literally just thought "ha, that's almost the 50 partnership -- had two of those already, so it's time for the next wicket..."

Four balls later, the partnership hits 50. The very next ball, Buckley gets out LBW.

188/6, and it's just Mulryne and the tail. 37 overs, so I'd expect them to be all out by the 43rd. 200, probably. I can't remember for sure (I did my research and set orders three days ago), but I'm up against a side with better bowling than batting...so all hope is certainly not lost.

Dead Badger · 26-09-2008, 06:08 AM

Now it's Platt's turn to take singles off the first or second ball, every single time. I know it's the same for everyone, but it's incredibly frustrating to watch.Yep, there goes another one as Platt forces the tailender to face five balls from a remarkable bowler.

*sigh*

I'd back you to defend anything over 200 tbh, and you're already there. Have faith!

Always wags when you don't bowl a team out before the 40th over.

Aye. The difference is stunning, isn't it? It's like they're lobotomised during the drinks break.

Not for me -- I usually find that, as long as there's an end open at the start of that 40th over, my bowlers will take them out pretty damn quickly.

My problem is that the opposition's usually won by that time

223ao in the end, thanks to a heroic 62* from 91 from Mulryne -- surprised to see that I made it to the 48th over. I'll back my lot to defend that, but you never know.

Oleary's done something quite special (verging on unbelievable):

End of Over 13: 45-6, runrate=3.46, reqrunrate=4.03 (193-10)
Oleary 7-2-26-5
Juries* 1 (9 balls)
Moody 9 (20 balls)
Last Wicket: Gray b. Oleary 1 (FOW: 41/6)

All this talk of the tail wagging means I'm still nervous, though. My total's low enough to be hit before the death overs, and he's got one solid batsman left.

Awesome! Stop talking -- that game's in the bag.

My opponents had reached 46/0 after 10 overs. 59/1 after 12, but they're well in excess of the RRR. I need some wickets!

Dead Badger · 26-09-2008, 07:40 AM

Bugger me sideways, I'm in Div III.

And that's the end of the match. Beard XI won by 130 runs.
Beard XI 193-10
Moss Side CC 63-10

Oleary destroys the top order, and Gill cleans up the tail for a famous victory. What a season this has been; promoted to III in OD, IV in FC and reaching the final of the CW cup. Madness.

Congratulations!

My opponents are 151/2 after 33 overs -- RR 4.58, RRR 4.29. This is seriously not good. Could be slipping down to OD IV, having been in II last season.

Dead Badger · 26-09-2008, 08:52 AM

Brooker doing a sterling job of cutting back the run-rate, but yeah, you need a wicket badly. Very finely balanced though; if either of these two go it's right back open...

...and then his penultimate over goes for 13. Ouch.

177/2 with 11 overs left. Only 46 runs required. I'm buggered.

Dead Badger · 26-09-2008, 09:13 AM

Yeah, I really should just shut up, shouldn't I? Not looking like your day, is it.
