Corinthians

Monty's Noblemen won by 8 runs.

Man of the match: WG Grace

Points: Noblemen 2 Corinthians 0

 

[jimmy101]

They paid to see Grace bowl it seems.

 

[mr_mister]

lol, was Grace's bowling any good IRL? bet he was a pie chucker

 

[jimmy101]

More of a pie huffer I'd say. He probably had money riding on the game too.

Group A

Industrial Revolution vs Leg S(k/l)ipper's XI - Rose Bowl, Southampton

Slippers

Revolution

Leg S(k/l)ipper's XI won by 45 runs.

Man of the match: Fred Trueman

Points: Slippers 2 Revolution 0

 

[jimmy101]

The Revolution drop another game against a higher-seeded team. Some circles of the media are suggesting that Industrial Revolution need to get with the times & move into the "modern era" ;-)

Group B

The Edgelords vs Honest "Zero ODIs" Hunks - Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

Edgelords

Hunks

Honest "Zero ODIs" Hunks won by 5 wickets.

Man of the match: Norm O'Neill

Points: Hunks 2 Edgelords 0

 

[jimmy101]

HB's faith in O'Neill continues to be rewarded as Norm takes home the MOTM despite Pollock's ton.

Group B

Golden Guys vs CricZo XI - Kennington Oval, London

CricZo

Golden Guys

CricZo XI won by 98 runs.

Man of the match: Brian Booth

Points: CricZo 2 Golden Guys 0

KK gets his campaign off with a bang. Wilf Rhodes must've thought "You know what? May as well just win this game now..." to himself at the end there. Unlucky not to get a hattrick. Booth's innings was so good the AI decided to reward him with a trundle.

Group B

Five Finger Super Punch vs Never Say Nevill - Edgbaston, Birmingham

NSN

SuperPunch

Five Finger Super Punch won by 3 wickets.

Man of the match: JT Hearne

I wish I do not live to see the day when the AI decides to reward a human being's good performance.


And way to go, Hunks. Norm was awesome but I think Raman Subba Row aka the guy I only knew was the permanent match referee for India games, has been the unsung hero batting at 4 for the Hunks.

 

[jimmy101]

A vital partnership between Wardle & Jackson sees 5F SuperPunch through in a tense finish. Both batsmen offered zero chances.

 

[jimmy101]

Currently awaiting teams from Battlers, Howe, SillyCow & ImpatientLime.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm going to stay unchanged because I can't figure out which bowler to drop

 

[AndrewB]

Monty's Noblemen won by 8 runs.

Nice to see the AI finally let Monty use himself as a bowler. Not sure why it gave Weekes an over, then took him off after bowling a maiden...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The Cud Chewers will stay with the same XI for the next match.
