Group B

Golden Guys vs Mister's Men - Kennington Oval, London

Golden Guys

MR Men

Mister's Men won by 3 wickets.

Man of the match: John Reid

Points: MR Men 2 Golden Guys 0

Reid inspires a narrow victory for his men. The Golden Guys really need to win their final two games in the group stage to have any chance of super 10s qualification now.

Currently awaiting teams from AndrewB, Howe, randy, kingkallis, AZH & Nate.

Reid inspires a narrow victory for his men. The Golden Guys really need to win their final two games in the group stage to have any chance of super 10s qualification now.

For what it's worth, some random sims suggest that 3 wins gives you about a 50/50 chance of making the super 10s, 4 wins means you'll reach the super 10s but are only a 1 in 3 shot for the semis, 5 wins gives you a fair chance of the semis.

Back to the original set of Noblemen: Vinoo Mankad returns for Johnny Tyldesley, who seemed to be a bad influence (not least on his brother).

CricZo XI won by 3 wickets.

Man of the match: Wilfred Rhodes

Points: CricZo 2 Splish 0

 

[jimmy101]

Wonderful all round effort from Wilf, with Mead also playing a big hand in that win.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Horror selection blunder to call up Giffen, really.

In an unrelated story, EM Grace suddenly found himself a few thousand quid to the good.

Group B

Honest "Zero ODIs" Hunks vs Never Say Nevill - Headingley, Leeds

Hunks

NSN

Never Say Nevill won by 6 wickets.

Man of the match: Herbert Sutcliffe

Points: NSN 2 Hunks 0

 

[jimmy101]

We're being blessed with some cracking games here. This time Hazare & Sutcliffe lay down twin hundreds whilst Eric Rowan lays down some pure dynamite. NSN score a big notch on their belt.

 

[jimmy101]

Howe, Randy & Andy still to submit R5 teams. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

[ImpatientLime]

basil butcher's form is poor and with ahmed playing a few good hands at 7 i might mix it up.

ALL OF THE ALL ROUNDERS!!!!!1111

 

[honestbharani]

Eric Rowan'd this time. Had to happen sooner or later, I guess, the loss. Gonna stick with the same guys again for the next round though, Jimmy.

 

[kingkallis]

Wonderful all round effort from Wilf, with Mead also playing a big hand in that win.

I want Lindwall to perform as well. Had much higher expectations from him.
