Had the weirdest FC match. Opponent got to 478-2, at which point a PFL-sapping draw was obviously the only result.

He then lost his next 18 wickets for 165 runs.

Somewhere in the middle of all that madness I declared on 455, and chased the target easily, getting a phenomenal top order along the way (the less said about the mediocre middle order the better, mind you).

Lol, Someone bid 8.5 million for Murdoch...thats a bit OTT surely

 

[Johnners]

GFI'ing my OD game today, will be interesting to see what my seam rating is now with Nightingale in the attack. The 4th seamer being a competent probs won't help tho'

 

[Nate]

First (them) vs second (us) today, am on GFI aswell, should be a cracker.

Haha and we score 11 off the first over. Normally we're two down by now.

 

[Nate]

End of Over 50: 307-2, runrate=6.14
Herring 10-0-68-1
Bardle* 109 (130 balls)
Hamlin 88 (67 balls)

Got to be happy really. Should defend that, though his batting is immense.

 

[Johnners]

End of Over 21: 112-2, runrate=5.33, reqrunrate=6.41 (297-3)
Hamlin 4-0-20-1
Chaudhry* 44 (52 balls)
Hayad 8 (9 balls)
Last Wicket: Ferris c. Harris b. Hamlin 59 (FOW: 97/2)

Not at all confident though, Yousif have only just started his first over, and I'd be mighty surprised if he doesn't get taken for 70+

[Johnners]

Home reasonably comfortable in the end (won by 49 runs). Hamlin/Kiely/Yousif managed to do a decent enough job through the middle overs then Nightingale/Bosnich cleaned up the lower order & tail

Happy with my ratings, and it's a good win as this matchup will determine who wins the league basically.

Pretty excited for my Cup game. Am resting two blokes and playing on PAN.

Playing a bot, hoping to win the match within 10-20 overs.
