CW FTP Championship II

[chaminda_00]

Got rolled for millionth time on a bowler friendly pitch. Had all bar three players on defensive. Just when I thought I was sorting out tactics for those pitches.

Dwyer will be happy his rookies performed.

End of over 39 (0 runs) - Jaffna Jets(108-10) RR 2.77
C. Deshapriya 11 (18b) , R. Senadeera 9.1-1-29-3

Good performance from my team when you consider the difference in ratings

Haha both teams got rolled...

First time in a long time I got a better fielding/keeping rating then another team. Experience must play a big role in that as well. Or both our sides can't field, likely cus we can't.

End of over 14 (2 runs) - Otago(56-1) RR 4.00
L. Bailhache 33 (45b) , B. Cotter 5 (11b) , R. Moysey 2-0-4-0

Happy with that so far, flat & hot conditions so doesn't get much worse for the bowlers.

Standings. Including my match against BEST Indies as a forfeit win for BI - I have a free spot next week and have challenged, but don't know whether we want that to count.

Go Otago.

Sure enough after I post I start getting hit for regular 2s and 3s and going for 8 an over.

[Scaly piscine]

End of over 22 (3 runs) - Scaly Piscine CC(82-3). 205 runs required from 28 overs. RR 3.73 RRR 7.32
N. George 20 (37b) , A. Yatawara 5 (7b) , B. Gow 1-0-3-0

What a load of ****. Three of my top four on aggressive and not one of them has managed a strike rate of 60 or over on a batsman's paradise against average bowling.

[Scaly piscine]

End of over 43 (11 runs) - Scaly Piscine CC(244-5). 43 runs required from 7 overs. RR 5.67 RRR 6.14
A. Yatawara 80 (72b) , R. Moysey 3 (2b) , B. Gow 7-0-52-1


Looking a lot better despite that wicket. Should get that when I bat down to 9 and it's a road.

[Scaly piscine]

And now two more wickets as FTP tries once more to contrive a shafting out of an easy chase.

[Scaly piscine]

Scaly Piscine CC won by 3 wickets

End of over 48 (10 runs) - Scaly Piscine CC(287-7) RR 5.98
A. Fitzpatrick 12 (9b) , R. Moysey 22 (16b) , J. Short 9-0-59-1
47.6 6 Short to Fitzpatrick : More like baseball than cricket as Fitzpatrick thumps a wayward delivery into the crowd.

Form drops not doing much for my ratings.

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Started alright against Majin.

End of over 7 (7 runs) - Central Districts(54-0) RR 7.71
K. Eime 21 (19b) , W. Brown 32 (24b) , W. Coley 4-0-29-0

I know you like to whine, but seriously gagf. The only bowler in that attack you could consider average is Morgan as he's reas-reas.

Ended up coming well short of the total we needed but am pretty pleased with the performance as it was always going to be tough because my bowling is terrible and on batting pitches it'll always be a struggle. Some good individual performances anyway so not that bad.

Meh, comparatively how would you rate your bowling against the rest of the championship sides?

[Bobisback]

Would be interested to know others bowling lineups tbh. Here is my best 5:

Sanadeera(RF): Accomplished-Reasonable
Harshana(LM): Accomplished-Capable
Kuruvilla(RFS): Accomplished-Reliable
Fuard(RFM): Reliable-Reasonable
Indrani(RM): Capable-Average (New Ball Bowler) (Due to pop in both)

Too bad about their experience though.
